That feels like a I was learning how to program and this bit me and now I'm always scared of it type of bug. I've never seen it myself. But then again some of my friends complain about OCD coworkers that can't not obsessively

Mine is we need to stop pandering to weirdos when it comes to public infrastructure projects. There is a political process for approving them. And we shouldn't let weirdos get endless do overs in the courts when they lose.

There are negative benefits to high housing prices. It's the most illiquid asset type. If you sell it where are you going to live? At the same time high rents drive up the price of goods and services you need to pay for.

Worth mentioning is CAHSR paid for half the electrification of CalTrain. Also the Phase II BART extension that will take BART to downtown San Jose, the high speed rail station at Diridon and to Santa Clara. https://www.vta.org&#x

I follow someone that tries to do field research. What I get from her and stuff she links to is there are a few things at work. More education and opportunities for women means they choose to have fewer kids yes. And if motherhood is heavil

My response to that sort of argument is yes indeed you are 100% correct in theory and 100% wrong in practice. It's the result of framing everything as a moral argument and shooting for perfection. That never ends well. You're bett

When it comes to transit I think the lol make driving sucky so people will support mass transit is inane because of the backlash potential. Much better to get ahead of the hose than always be trying to grab it's ass. You're not go

I over use the word but the idea that property crimes are merely a matter for the insurance company is the most neoliberal thing ever. You can imagine an alternative system where if someone steals your cat the government has to pay for that

One thing I try to do is read stuff from people whose job it is to do stuff. What I read from transportation people is that for dense urban areas cars are inefficient at loading and unloading. And self driving cars are the worst. My rando o

If you look at light vehicle sales in the US they've been stuck at 17 million units a year for the last 25. I think that's why manufacturers keep retching up the size and cost of cars. I keep seeing manufacturers spam in my engine

I got to say adding type variables to C would be super duper. And to me actually feels rather C like as well.

Net metering was always a subsidy to kick start the solar PV industry. It feels kinda kick started. Myself I'd be interested in a map of the cost per customer for PG&E. Because I suspect customers in dense to medium density area&#x

What I've noticed about C and it's problems with safety is the discussion always assumes that C will be replaced real soon now. So the problem is really about existing code bases. After 40 years of that I think that was a bad assu

What bothers me is a function that takes both a ptr and a length is taking a phat pointer. What feels bad is you could add standard phat_ptr_t to the C library. But they refuse to do even that.

I read an article where the author made a point that oil and gas companies aren't setup to compete in the renewables business. And they have the problem that companies that are already exist in that space. When it comes to building out

Yeah they're trying to delay the decay of their valuation. A few years ago went looking at producing hydrogen by electrolysis for ammonia production. There was the usual 'well maybe' stuff but nothing showing anyone was doing

I read a study looking at the difference between tankless and tank water heaters. Summary the more hot water you use the smaller the win is for tankless. Other thing I've read and seems true is gas and heat pump water heaters cost abou

One thing worth mentioning is companies that make stuff like ammonia and manufacturers in general absolutely hate anything subject to wild price swings. Which natural gas totally does. The other thing is the Russian Ukrainian war exposed ma

I think when you forgo high scrutiny you end up with a lot of sloppy research. You literally have problems with a sloppy study showing something and then needing ten increasingly rigorous studies to show it's bunk. So ethics review pro

I've done calcs for using hydrogen from electrolysis for ammonia production. I think it's 40kwh per kg to make hydrogen. Ammonia is 17.6% hydrogen by weight. So you need 7kwh/kg to make ammonia. At $40/MWH Cost is $280&#

The cost and logistics of containerized batteries hit a tipping point in the last three years and there is no looking back. Because they pay for themselves inside of 24 months. The press and the agitprop industry goons hired by the fossil f

The cost of storing electricity in batteries is down to $80/MWH. This evening batteries in California peaked at 6.3GW. Last year they were peaking at 2.3GW in the evening. I think that means is they installed 15GWH worth of batteries l

This is one of the reasons I believe 'base load' demand is more fungible than people assume. I think in California 6% of electricity demand is pumping water. I'm almost willing to go on record and say that's the Californ

Sneaking in a comment. Two circuits sharing a common ground path causes electronic noobs no end of confusing grief. Because the two circuits are coupled via the ground inductance and resistance. And a circuit that forms with it's groun
