But when you do have proof of growth it’s much easier to finance more developers to work on the problem.

Oh yes, in the summer we use something like 20-25 kWh per day, and it is clear that the bulk of those are used either when we cook or when someone is using hot water.

Is that including hot water and heating? Because those are where most our electricity go. We burn no gas or oil.

This is a 45 year old house with crappy isolation. Compared with similar households in the area our consumption is about 20% higher than average.

Do you heat water with electricity? That’s a big part of our consumption. Just by looking at what hour we use electricity I realise that just the kids bath every evening is around 2kWh. And with two small kids the laundry machine runs at le

I find that very unlikely if you have any appliances at all. Multiple it by ten and I might start to believe you. For reference, right now we, granted in a four person household and electric heating in the coldest winter month, are using ar

Is like to have a source for the statement that plug in hybrid never gets plugged in. Everyone I know who has one charges it over night and only runs it on petroleum occasionally.

That’s my major problem. After about two years of whatever job I have I feel I don’t learn anything interesting any more and get bored.

As someone else who read it for the first time as an adult, it’s a perfectly fine book. But it certainly doesn’t deserve the iconic status it seems to have in the US.

I used to work for a company that sold custom business systems. When the customers did their parts, i.e., signed of specifications and did their acceptance testing within schedule, we usually delivered within estimate and in time. This was

Yes, most of it. But there’s definitely content that still is talked about and referenced many years later. Joel Spolsky’s Things You Should Never Do was written in the year 2000 and sometimes comes up in discussions at HN. Imagine if Brook

And how do you resolve this contradiction? Teach your employees that if you don’t want to be interrupted you better write good documentation. And have one dedicated team member each day responsible for supporting other teams. I think both o

Oakley emphasises that understanding is an important part of chunking. Chunking is not the same as root learning without understanding. More that when you familiar enough with a concept you don’t have to think of all the details of it, but

Not only the UK, but the whole of Northern and Western Europe are kind of screwed without the Gulf Stream.

The elevation of Madrid is 667 meters according to Wikipedia. So we are not talking about the temperature of an isolated mountain top, even if they report the most extreme temperature.

My grandfather grew up in an orphanage and was later sent to train to become a wheel maker, that is, someone who makes large wooden wheels with spokes for horse carriages. This must have been around 1925. Luckily for him, the skills he lear

And other people, in particular brown people in far away places like the Middle East or Africa are just numbers, so we should definitely try to reduce those. Or you can remember that you and your family also are population, and your environ

People in cold climate know to always have a full set of outdoor clothes in the car, either wearing them or in a bag even for shorter drives. You don’t want to be the guy who freezes to death after not bothering to put on a jacket since you

I don’t know what you are considering severe, but I think that both Australia and California might disagree with you after the fires last year.

I know how companies are governed, and it is of course an empirical fact that most large listed American companies are run to maximise stockholder value. But that does not mean that it is the purpose of all, or even most companies. People r

It’s a common misunderstanding that the only purpose of a company is to make shareholders happy.

I hope you are joking: “I, a paid employee, have a wonderful solution to our problem that will save the company a lot of money, but I won’t tell you if you don’t pay me even more.” I think the answer to that would be something like “hmm, if

It only says that the margin on the sold products are high enough so they can afford expensive marketing. Does anyone seriously believe that the massive marketing for a product like Coca Cola is a sign that it is a high quality product?

That the products are overpriced?

Considering that it started with 11, or was it 26 dimensions, and had to go through some hoops to get it down to three, that statement is almost absurdly comical.

One of the problems with String theory is that the researchers failed to produce any predictions at all from it. Research today is orders of magnitude both bigger and faster, and String theory has been around for at least half a century alr
