Why is it that S. viminalis and other mentioned Salix species are so effective at this? Is it that the Salix genus is more effective or are more genuses (geni?) also effective but just haven't been studied yet?

What are the companies in this space doing the installations and system integration? What are the bottlenecks on rollout other than prohibitory regulations? What is the reasoning for the government prohibiting solar in “Alabama, Florida, Ge

Not sure about other FAANG but at microsoft the contract is explicitly that anything you do during work or with company resources is owned by the company, not just everything you do at any time. Just do it evenings and weekends and don’t us

I couldn't find details about the logistics and design of the GGW itself. I know the similar Chinese project largely failed because they planted a monocrop of trees in perfect grid formation, which turns out doesn't create a self-

Agreed, the title is editorialized to be more spooky and hopefully will be corrected. Closing loopholes is way more reasonable than the language about simply raising taxes.

One of the big problems with the current power grid is transmission loss, resistance in electrical wires over long distances eat ~5% of the generated power. This makes it infeasible for example to have large solar installations in the Ameri

It might feel cool to use your hardware for helping the internet at large, via something like the good karma kit or an auto-archiving tool: https://archivebox.io/ https://github.com/ArchiveBox/good-karm

I agree with everything you've said here. I do wish science could catch up to some of these old-and-probably-quite-true traditions.

Yowza, $1300. I've read that ultrasonic diffusers and humidifiers can do a lot of harm by atomising whatever is in the substance you fill them with. In the case of humidifers with non-distilled water this could mean heavy metals comi

I've been long exposed to the standard tech-circles common knowledge about intermittent fasting (IF), the benefits of fasting, basic gym science about calorie restriction, and so on. I thought a lot of this stuff was pretty well confir

This is a great response, you did a good job elucidating the deeper moral and interpersonal issue while also connecting with and understanding the reason the OP is upset and even suggesting real policy changes. Thanks!

Cell membranes (remember the “lipid bilayer”?) include cholesterol molecules floating around within the phospholipid matrix to help the cell membrane stay flexible and flowy. This is the case for all cell membranes in the body, afaik.

Always impressed by the amount of engineering which goes into the undersea cables and into fiber optic connections in general. One interesting takeaway (at the risk of mentioning an elon company) is that current-gen satellite connectivity w

Yeah! There's evidence for a reduction of the brain's normal input-filtering processes that I alluded to in the parent post. As Huxley says, 'the doors of perception are opened' These two articles discuss in more detail

The hallucination affected by psychedelics such as mushrooms isn't what you might expect. It's not a fully synthetic kind of "i now see an object that is not actually there". There won't be a floating pink elephant

I was enjoying trying out kagi but it served me a page to the effect of "you exceeded your number of searches" and that immediately turned me off of the product. Will that limitation be lifted at some point? My other feature reque

Thanks for this suggestion, I have the same experience of lightheadedness upon standing up (very often) and will definitely be working this into a habit.

I like OCaml a lot but I agree that it suffers from this tooling/ecosystem problem. Even un-fancy languages with good tooling are just going to win, at the end of the day. Go is the main example of this. Rust also has great tooling tha

Your guess is exactly right, this type of imaging is pretty common with satellite imaging for the reasons you mentioned. Scott Manley talks about it in this video iirc https://youtu.be/Wah1DbFVFiY

Were these actually related to the gold standard as such? Or were they just bubbles that occurred during that time. For instance the railway bubble seems to have nothing at all to do with being on the gold standard.

> Massive bubbles denominated in Bitcoin will build up and they will burst just as they did in the 19th century under the Gold Standard. Does anyone know about bubbles under the gold standard? Seems interesting and is a piece of history

This is a great write up, I really appreciate it, thanks. The recommendation around building my own drone controller is a good one, several years together I specced out and built a drone controlled by ardupilot so I’ve at least played with
