Go look at a map of Tucson. Look at where the Titan II missile museum is, then look where Biosphere 2 is. Now tell me how much it would cost to build public transit between those two locations, and how many people would take it. Trailheads

>Regulation routinely reduces cost What? No they don't. Not without considerable adverse effects at least. You're not referring to price ceilings, are you?

Wow, you sent me down a serious rabbit hole. That core looks awesome, and the ring bus blew my mind [1]. What is the practical difference between a very wide SIMD processor vs very many single-instruction processors? Is there any? They say

Healing wounds? The author wouldn't confuse the 4th state of matter with blood plasma... right?

So? Suppose I pay Indonesia to take my garbage and Indonesia dumps it in the ocean. I'm the bad guy? Or Indonesia? Rhetorical question.

Since I've got you, allow me to apologize for all the knee-jerk cynics in this thread. I trust you will continue to ship great product and that your incentives will remain aligned with those of your users. Just pinky promise me that yo

To nitpick your nitpick, the earth radiates more energy than it receives because it is very radioactive. And because it is cooling.

External aid can't, but external investment can. The greatest reduction in extreme poverty in human history happened in China starting in the second half of last century continuing to the present. It was a result of the West building f

I have certain books that I just gave up on for this reason. Once it becomes my "bedtime book" its impossible for me to read a few pages and not nod off!

This is disinformation and you should delete it. I don't use that term lightly, Nuclear FUD is spread by Russia to keep the west dependent on their oil, and you're helping them whether you know it or not. In reality, Uranium is mo

Right? I also find this journalism style infuriating. Very egocentric. I like the Economist's style, articles don't even have authors listed and when they must talk about themselves they say "your correspondent" which I

I mean showing you ads for diapers because you googled "best diapers" falls under that same category and I daresay isn't evil at all

When speakers of a dying language learn a dominant one they don't lose their way of thinking, rather they adapt the dominant language to their needs. In this way the dominant language evolves. It's why there are ~180k english word

For me it's the colleagues. Rubbing elbows with people much smarter and further in their careers than I am is worth making the ~20 min commute. But any incentive provides the same effect.

I agree with that point but disagree about the distribution. I myself am a 5, I go in about half the time. Obviously we can only speculate about others

Respectfully, this is an example of rigid thinking that isn't productive or accurate. Apply marginal thinking the way economists do. People's propensity to return to the office falls on a spectrum ranging from 0 ( the people who a

> No medical treatment if you have certain drugs in your system Have you thought this through? This is beyond evil. Same energy as "no organ transplant if you didn't get the vaccine"

I actually have less faith in social scientists to design an unbiased study on a sensitive topic in 2023 than I did in 2008. That was my only point

There used to be sabretooth tigers outside your room that wanted to hurt you. I am not persuaded by that argument based on the simple fact that the world is orders of magnitude less scary than it used to be. My theory is that it just got ea

You correctly point out that the 2016 study might be flawed, but you don't seem to consider the same of the newer study. Why?

This is the central debate in the gender war, the question of nature vs. nurture in relation to gender roles. We will probably be debating this until the end of time because it is somewhat unethical to raise a baby in a padded cell and see

You're off by 4 orders of magnitude. These "rain panels" generate <<1W/m2 even in heavy rain.

Freetown gets more rain in one August week than my town (Scottsdale) gets in a full YEAR

by Brusco_RF 3y ago
Even the most optimistic reading has these "rain panels" well under 1W/m^2. For comparison, peak solar irradiance is something like 1400W/m^2. This webpage has already burned more energy than that panel will ever produce

Seems misleading to even mention 200W in any capacity at all.

You sent me down a rabbit hole. Holy crap! The AVERAGE rainfall in Sierra Leone in August is over 600mm... 23 inches!
