I had no idea wind accounted for 3x the power generation of solar. I always thought it was the other way around...

Don't they report earnings in constant dollars?

I'm not sure how to interpret these statistics. Since it's given per 10000 fatalities (and not per square meter covered in said obstacle), can't you conclude that the wind turbine fatalities are so low because we haven't

Samsung owns most HEVC patents? That doesn’t make sense given that MPEG LA is suing Samsung for HEVC patent infringement

GDP per capita is not a measure of actual societal progress. You have societies that don’t have natural gas pipes or potable water and so they buy tanks of propanw and bottles of water which is expensive (higher GDP) but doesn’t give a bett

You handle it how you would have handled fixing a NPE which shows up in production. Except now you handle it before an NPE ever shows up because the type system forces you to.

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you have only Optionals and Null does not exist, a NPE is impossible. The Optional type forces you to handle the empty case, so null safety is enforced by the type system.

I believe the standard practice (as popularized by Google) is that all fields are optional. This allows you to deprecate fields in the future while still support older (non-updated) clients.

Now that almost every person has been exposed to at least some minute amount of COVID and/or a vaccine, why are we still pushing 3rd/4th doses? Can't we just treat it like an endemic virus like the flu?

Anecdotally, I felt all SWE were happy to discuss details of offers during internships and within the first 3-4 years of industry. Now many years later, it seems only my closest friends talk about this freely

> well regulated landfills are actually fine and there is plenty of space for them. On the other hand, a quick Google search turns up quotes like "the US is on pace to run out of room in landfills within 18 years" https:/

Yeah Toronto and Vancouver have both been building incredible amounts of housing. Really puts to shame any US city. Still not enough to satisfy the immigration firehose tho.
943.
by acchow 4y ago
Few cities have been building housing as fast as Toronto. The main issue is whatever housing toronto builds, the government turns up the immigration tap twice as fast.

> but because there is many, many red tape around doing anything in SF. Right, the red tape still exists to this day to allow for grifters to come in who help "expedite" the process for a fee. So it's really the same thing

Agree. Much of the Richmond/Sunset is quite flat and doesn't exhibit the natural beauty of other parts of SF.

MM = "mille mille" = "thousand thousand". You will be seeing this in many places.

The money printing inflated salaries. But they also inflated the prices of the most expensive thing we spend that salary on - real estate

> It's all going to be insufferable adware hell from now on. Didn't American telecom companies try this? And then the customers eventually found it all insufferable, so the practice was canned?

Sounds like they are trying to embed the search semantics in the data storage. Why not treat search as a distinct problem?

How does Samsung continue to sell so many phones every year? It is baffling to me.

Sure, these are called counter-serve restaurants. They appear to make up less than 10% of the restaurants in my area. If a restaurant launches as counter-serve, I guess it gets wait-free "technology" for free by accident. What I&#

Awesome for Davis. Sad when you realize this could be every city in the greater Bay Area which all share a similar climate to Davis but somehow is not... San Francisco is getting there tho. I see new protected bike lanes pop up regularly.

by acchow 4y ago
Here in San Francisco, you have the school physically closest to you and you have the school to which you get assigned. In most cases, they are not the same. So you end up traveling 20-45 minutes by bus. Isn't this the norm in the USA?

It's been a few years since I've been to Seattle, but other than trails along the bay I don't recall biking within the city itself feeling safe. Were there many protected bike lanes?

by acchow 4y ago
They bike very slowly tho. Almost painfully slowly to me. The low speed keeps them safe, even in accidents.

All I want is to be able to order my food and a refill on water without having to wait. This technology has existed for decades but the US resists it.
