The UK has an almost identical power market. We just generate more wind and solar than anyone else.

Just because you can't run whatever software you like on it, does not make it non-general purpose CPU.

At some point every product category become functionally feature complete. The price increase signs to me that they expect people to upgrade less often.

I cant tell if he was a serial abuser, an aspie who was poor at reading the room, or just someone who was a weirdo. All are plausible and its even possible more than one is true.

Yes, indeed, I meant it the other way.

A Prairie Home Companion was also a dear loss too. I enjoyed Live from Here, its replacement - but Chris Thile was not Garrison Keillor, and the pivot from an even mix of storytelling and music to mostly storytelling, caused it to lose some

I have similar childhood memories about Garrison Keillor/APHC.. I just never got to encounter them almost 1:1 like that.

I've historically seen bad spectral purity results from the Chinese gear (particularly the stuff intended to be used in Part 90 Service, which was not type accepted). Because of that, I tend to avoid it. For VHF/UHF I tend to go t

But how does this improve safety? Which one or combination of these things causes a four fold reduction in traffic accidents? I did indeed need to take a vision test on the states, three times, once in each state, these look comparable to w

There is a dearth of statistics here, but uhh, judging by the number of friends I've had to transport to or from a hospital from bike accidents I'm at least on the surface skeptical.

For the uninitiated, how do differing european rules make people safer?

by Aloha 3y ago
If you did look at life altering injuries and financial losses, you'd find fewer of those too - cars today are measurably safer, from tires, to better seatbelts, to airbags, to ABS - cars in virtually every way are safer. I'm actu

I've got a very hot take but, the only company who can really make money off 5G is the company that can get base station + support hardware under 5k (ideally under 2.5k) per base

If its deep enough underground, the conditions favorable to that bacteria may not exist.

Maybe we can plant fields of new coal to be found in a million years ;-)

The real issue in texas is not enough thermal generation capacity - I'd prefer it be nuclear, but right now its gas, and we dont have enough based on the states growth.

The market doesnt reward to, effectively. The real thing is to treat a product as a sustaining engineer product, so minor new features, catering to the users you already have rather than trying to chase growth, etc.

The Texas and UK power market are actually very similar in construction and operation.

Legally, it in some ways, it currently is. Could Texas return to Integrated utilities, and Rate of Return based pricing? sure, but that'd be up to the legislature to deal with. I think the current system surprisingly (even to me) works

I also have the somewhat controversial opinion that things like bitcoin are useful because they create static but easy to shed demand. So to explain what I mean by that in depth - the economic losses from shutdown are limited to production

As a Texan, I think whats going on in Texas, perhaps controversially is what happens when you have an over reliance on solar and wind as primary power sources. Even in Texas (where wind is basically ever-present) there are times when the wi

Your opinions are perfectly valid, even if I might disagree - my belief firmly is that the world gets better with more participation - not less. Particularly here in the states, if we could get 90% of the voters who show up for the general

I'm much like you, but its not just merely intolerant people (everyone is intolerant, racist, has some measure of bias), its only really highly intolerant people which I exclude. The post 2012 era of people maximalist positions on ever

It has real 1960 Falcon feels. If it looks like a toy car, it is, it'd be virtually impossible to fit that body onto a modern engineering package.

Thats kinda glib - One, the people who benefit from fossil fuel consumption are too diffuse to easily tamp down on. Two, we cannot replace fossil fuels in certain applications. Three, even all the green technology will need lubrication from

by Aloha 3y ago
That's my argument, I see no realistic path to decarbonization. I'd think we should eliminate fossil fuel consumption for base load power generation, but I'm not sure we can go much further than that.

Do you care more about mass shootings or average day to day gun crime? They have different sources (one, poor access to mental healthcare, the other, poverty) and probably need different solutions too. I personally dont care as much about m

California and Florida were indeed sold where the idea of a perfect climate - by land speculators. In both places the reality of the situation was not what was promised: California with periodic drought, and a general shortage of water in
