Solar+wind+storage could though. Plus, what never gets factored into this, is a sane discussion about industrial uses. Switching off industrial users in extreme events (light winds/cloudy for multiple weeks) has a cost, but that could

Aesthetically, I'd offer a counterpoint that incredibly high aspect ratio white carbon wings are quite beautiful, relative to monolithic concrete blocks. They are also approachable in the landscape (I love mountain biking beneath them)

My experience is the opposite. Most bread recipes for example are both incredibly tolerant of mistakes. Also — flour varies so much in capacity to absorb water and gluten content between brands that I'd say precision is very much illus

I really wish scandis did film classification for us. I really don’t care about my kids seeing nudity or sex scenes ( they self censor anyway!) but I really hate it that PG or even U rated films and games can have a body count in the thousa

Me too. It's on one of my favourite bike rides too... the road up to Monmouth is a great day out from Bristol.

I'm not saying to use $, but the elegance/composability of jQuery could have been implemented as they updated the API. And deprecating getelementbyname etc could have been done over a long period.

I agree with most of this, but what specifically is wrong with grinding up hundreds of animals (apart from sounding gross)?

It would if people could stick to the protocols in the studies as designed. In practice RCTs only enable us to estimate the effect of the _offer_ of treatment (the intention to treat estimate) rather than making a direct causal estimate of

To be specific, the regression models they use assume no measurement error in predictors. In this case BMI isn't even a direct measure of adiposity, so it's kind of obvious, but even if they had a direct measure of body fat the is

No - in most western countries it's decided in law that reasonable efforts should be made to support most people, those with disabilities like visual impairment included.

What I don't understand is why the modern js api didn't just adopt query's conventions... they're so much nicer and more expressive most of the time.

Or just people who have a poor memory, or who are not very self consistent. I love things like jquery (and Django and other opinionated frameworks) because it saves me the hassle of having bike shed trivial details for myself and then remem

It think this is true of many technical things. Statistics, sailing, car mechanics, photography... What I love about HN is it often gives clues as to which are the interesting rabbit holes.

Came here to submit this link too. I'm blown away. Perhaps I'm naive, and maybe I don't really know Cruise's work that well, but it seems amazingly convincing to me. Can anyone in the know comment on whether what is done

If you place any weight on Ffi in recruitment you are also doing it wrong though. The studies reporting ffi correlations with real world outcomes give confidence intervals not prediction intervals. For individual cases it’s mostly just nois

This analogy breaks down though. High level languages can be slow or inefficient because they don’t map directly into reality, but they are still correct. MBTI and FFI just don’t really work at all ... they don’t predict much and if you too

In my experience fibre is a great benefit for 'normal' use. Streaming, browsing, email are all fine on 20mbs services. Unless you have lots of teenagers watching Netflix it's not obvious to me you'd want to pax 2x as m

Good point. I'm not sure expensive meat is that healthy either. We'd probably eat more cheap meat than expensive meat though, so if it's all unhealthy then we might want to think of cheap meat as more-unhealthy.

I'm replying late but...By "strategy" here I'm referring to the strategy for humans to eat less meat to achieve environmental goals — not any particular strategy to achieve a reduction in meat eating. I agree that achiev

Totally agree. It's a kind of narrative/availability fallacy.

To a point. I’m actually a data table user too, but it’s actually a pain at the moment (and a good example of why tidyverse quality matters) because they broke the integration with reshape and made me rewrite a bunch of guides a while ago.

I think the point is that we have tried making meat cheap and it created a lot of problems. Until we fix those problems the grandparent comments strategy seems sound.

You do know that a high proportion of all crops in the US are fed to cows right? We are not feeding cows grass, so your argument is mostly moot.

This is an absurd big lie which is so often repeated. Germany has great influence because it pays so much for the EU but all member states have the veto...

Most of the EU. It’s only the US and Australia that are so backward in environmental issues among western democracies.

But cheap meat isn’t that healthy to start with, so we have quite a low bar to pass.
