The Texas problem was persistent, insufficient supply - the extreme pricing was just a symptom of that. Do participants in ERCOT's system not trade energy swap contracts? Why? None of that new pumped hydro is online yet though - existi

That's exactly what the paper that the linked press release is about looks into. In an energy-only market, the intention is that the possibility of very high spot prices when energy supply is short is supposed to create an incentive to

I've on occasion idly wondered whether modern information processing technology would enable a centrally-planned economy that worked better than the failed 20th century examples.

The issue identified is that many plants weren't able to stay online to sell energy at the extreme prices that were bid. Those plants didn't make windfall profits for their investors, they weren't selling anything at all. Es

That's not an argument for overpaying to winterize all the electricity, though - it's an argument to subsidise winterized electricity for those vulnerable populations, and the most efficient way to do that may well be to directl

Another electricity market of similar scale that is also an energy-only market is the Australian NEM. It hasn't had an event similar to the ERCOT disaster of last winter yet, but there have been discussions about adding a capacity mar

One thing it doesn't mention is Conway's Game of Life itself. So of course, you can implement Game of Life within Game of Life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP5-iIeKXE8

Sounds like you have a solid hypothesis there with a convincing proposed method of action.

This just seems to push the results down one level - how did we do the experiments to determine that the analogues are accurate?

This raises the question: what is "California Boost"?

If you are driving at the 85th percentile speed then 15% of cars will be passing you, or 3 in every 20. I suggest that this will in practice feel like you are being "passed like crazy".

There's also formed roundabouts where most of it is raised but only by a small amount, so that emergency vehicles with large tires can drive straight over it but still discourages light vehicles from doing the same.

Maybe some bumps to calm the traffic approaching the roundabout would help. Yes, that seems to be a somewhat common solution, eg: https://goo.gl/maps/XJ8SNDDrQBhBu1nH8

Yes, he'll probably go to jail for vehicular manslaughter, but that doesn't help you. Sounds like they'd be nobly sacrificing themselves to remove two people with anger issues from the general population!

3. The vehicle must be traveling below 5.6mph; and As an aside, I assume this is 2.5 m/s converted to mph.

I will often be hidden by your A pillar the entire time right up until you hit me. This is called a "Constant Bearing / Decreasing Range" collision.

If a company tried to release a product that had this safety profile in a factory setting the governments and unions would be all over them. I think the same is probably true of cars/trucks in general.

People will swerve around you, ride your bumper, flash their high beams at you, honk, pull in front of you and hit the brakes, and other dangerous road rage type behavior. I don't think the one being unsafe in this scenario is the on

Is no-one else bothered that the term "rolling stop" is an obvious oxymoron?

I don't think it's reasonable to expect either car or human to determine the distinction between "person dressed as cop" and "sworn police officer acting in accordance with his duties". Probably shouldn't

The mapping data that Tesla uses does know about school zones, as well as other time or season based speed zones, and even weather-dependent speed zones. They all get rendered on screen, with the currently-active zone shown.

I would really like to hear Tesla to defend their decision to not use them. Andrej Karpathy talks some about it in this (it's quite long, but the whole thing is quite interesting): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSDT

I thought the implication was that Wildgust had not solved the puzzle, but rather found the author's answer through research.

Yes, the foreshortening is easy to see in this case because of the apparent spacing of the railway sleepers.
