How would this have forced utility companies to spend money to invest in winterization of natural gas lines, generators and other parts of the power infrastructure? Wouldn’t they just keep the additional profit for themselves, like they

Two major things I see: have to normalize the value of money in real dollars to adjust for inflation - so years ago $1 is not the same value as today. Secondly crude is not gas, gas is refined crude. Refiners are not adding capacity, actual

This is great! I don't see Pure Encapsulations which is one I'm familiar with, could you add this soon? Is there a way on your website to request a brand if it's not listed?

A lot of cables, other than ethernet, which are available in consumer products but are on the higher end of data transmission specs for 2021-2022... are able to meet these specs at lengths greater than about 6-12 feet (e.g hdmi 2.1+ or usb

Even if its 100% green energy - which don't get me wrong is orders of magnitude better for warming of the planet - it still contributes to warming of the earth. You're taking some wavelengths of light that would normally be absorb

For supplements that might help: L-theanine combined with caffeine, Vitamin b12, l-tyrosine. Lacking energy? Get your vitamin D checked and take vitamin D (and take D with vitamine K2). I can only really speak to the effectiveness of vitami

You seem to be taking the entire industry down by painting broad strokes from one incident; yet somehow planes aren't crashing everyday so. Anyway I don't work in the field but what I've read, issues with the 737 MAX were not

I don't know of any data but the following fundamentals are driving this: "The equation for wind power(P) is given by P= 0.5 * ρ * A * Cp * V^3 * Ng * Nb where, ρ= Air density in kg/m3, A = Rotor swept area (m2).C

This also inflates “market rate” and justifies higher prices for rent as well as government subsidized housing (which is just reduced rent because part of the rent is paid for from the market rate). By paying for “free months” themselves th

At least 10x as bad as the flu based on lethality or IFR. Far more contagious and it’s also most contagious when you have no symptoms. Flu season overwhelms hospitals sometimes by itself. Your numbers don’t add up.

No one should realize that because lockdowns are to contain and minimize impacts of the virus and the evidence overwhelmingly suggests no matter what the economy gets impacted, this is the way to reduce harm to economic activity the best. W

Does autodiff exist in R? Then why not use R since it seems it also has much ML algo support due to its focus on statistics - its used by many statisticians. Is the idea here that Swift is a more approachable language and thus this is to lo

Personally I experience this way more with Fedex - literally its nearly every time. I haven't had this happen except for a couple of times with USPS over the last 2-3 years (been in the same apartment for about that long).

If you look at % positive it accounts for increases in testing ability. So are you just testing more, or are you actually finding an increase in cases in your sample of the total population. That is what they're looking at to get a tru

Just to put this in some context, but the Quest Diagnostics and other tests currently available are good but not great. For example, from their website there are the following disclaimers: This test has not been reviewed by the FDA. Positiv

These tests are not FDA approved, they're being allowed under emergency use authorization. They're not subject to the same rigger as tests normally allowed on the market and the manufacturer's specifications may be overstated

I think this is more about finding hotspots. Where could a seeding event lead to a large outbreak. Clearly 1 person entering into NYC with COVID today would not have the same effects as 4 months ago because supposedly 20% are immune. At lea
