What I see going on in Texas is the small towns and cities in the north and west that aren't relentlessly dying are being bulked up by Hispanics.

I keep coming back to something Judge Posner got completely wrong. He thinks wealth people don't commit crimes because they value their reputation. Middle class don't because they value their money. And poor don't because the

30 years ago a guy that worked as an international translator said to me, if people only knew how their political and business leaders act when they don't think anyone important is watching. They are all terrible people. Another friend

From what the press is saying there is something extra special about the weight of electric vehicles (very bad, very bad indeed) vs gasoline and diesel vehicles (no one cares). Very similar to how electric cars and heat pumps are going to o

It's a good thing they can handle my Dodge RAM 1500. Else I'd be worried.

I don't deal with power utilities. But have talked to water utility managers. Key thing. Regulated utilities can't just raise prices to generate a profit. But capital improvements are an asset that you can earn a profit on. So inv

Course to go to 80% would require probably 15 years. 25% / 15 years is 1.7% a year. Does not seem like a big deal. A question. Is the extra electricity need to power electric cars less or greater than the amount required by more air co

I'm rather sorry because this is performative bullshit by Wiener which if anything might cause his party to lose a few races outside of California.

Reminds me of a friend that does security stuff. He says never store or transmit keys in a useful form. Bonus using munged keys will trigger alarms.

Personally I think politically the US is way too far down the normalization of deviance road. My attitude is if your going to ignore the 14th amendment and put Trump on the ballot why even have laws.

I've looked and not seen numbers on the actual battery capacity. But I think it's about 3-4 hours at name plate power levels. I think from what I know capacity is a function of discharge rate. And wear is also a function of discha

I agree the worst thing that could happen is displaced Palestinians from Gaza refusing to go back to where other people have decided they have to live because otherwise it'd be ethnic cleansing.

Problem is no one will take refugees from Gaza even temporarily. If countries would the death toll would be much less. The reason Egypt doesn't is because Hamas has links to and provides support for Islamic terrorists groups involved t

The amazing thing is there basically were no batteries three four years ago. And they can supply about 10% of the max power demand already. So it feels like the technologies we need are now good to go on an engineering an accounting basis.

I've been firmly of the opinion that after a transition period the pricing structure is going to inverted and contain seasonal and episodic events. Long term I don't think this is a problem. Because customers will appear to utiliz

I feel like it's not just Dijkstra but the abrasive arrogance computer science inherited from mathematics culture has been a huge negative. It's why the workplaces are toxic and why women have abandoned the field. It's worse

I seem to remember a sports illustrated calendar in the late 80's with a black model. The usual suspects at work were really butthurt that month because they'd flip it over so you couldn't see her and people kept flipping it

Los Angeles needs more subway is what. Because everyone taking the subway is not driving a car. Also brings up the point that it's inexcusable San Francisco hasn't built out a mile or so of subway per year over the last 30 years.

It's distressing. 30 years ago if you bought cheap you got cheap and maybe you get lucky or not. If you paid extra you got solid. Now there isn't much correlation. You can pay dear and get junk. And cheap is worse than it used to

When I've looked at what's going on with gcc what I see is most of the code being compile is header files. It's probably 90% headers and 10% actual code. And then there is all the dependency files it's reading. Though to
