The low population density in much of the US drives increased energy usage. 80% of the US lives in "urban" areas ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization_in_the_United_Sta... ), and that's where most

Compared to other developed countries they are not the worst. Australia: 16.8 tons/capita/year Canada/US: 16.1 Germany: 9.1 China: 8.0 France: 5.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/

It is an interesting thought experiment. From what I've gathered, any intervention by the government to make housing more accessible, just gets priced in pretty quickly, removing the benefit. It benefits home owners, which (at least

I don't get your argument. Those who are in "choice deferral" and chose online+print in the first experiment ought to have picked the same in the second experiment, but they didn't.

From Wikipedia: The lower the energy used by a generator, the higher its efficiency would be; a 100%-efficient electrolyser would consume 39.4 kilowatt-hours per kilogram (142 MJ/kg) of hydrogen,[24] 12,749 joules per litre (12.75 MJ&

That's true about physics! I wonder if there are other fields that are written in such casual style. Undergrad textbooks in math are also very dry affairs. David Mackay was an exception, but he is a physicist.

Yeah, but this version is not necessarily optimal. If you have 4 positive samples, then you will test 2+2+1+1+1+1 = 8, instead of 4 in the naive case. It feels like a problem for information theory.

But what if there are two (or more?) positive samples? It's an interesting problem.

it's hard to argue that airlines don't play a critical role. What critical industry will suffer if air travel suddenly becomes much more rare?

For data, we're monitoring ~1000 time series per plant, at about 2 points/minute. Julia's speed is not necessary there, but it is critical for historical simulations of algorithms.

If you're referring to the odds ratio between group A control and group B covid, then that's not a Bayes factor AFAIK. A Bayes factor is to compare two hypothesis. You can have an odds ratio of 1.00001 which is very significant (e

Aviation only makes up about 2% of total global C02 emissions. Because the majority of humanity has never flown at all. What fraction of your CO2 emissions came from flying last year?

Thank you so much for your answer! It's sad how hard it is to get this kind of expert opinion, in the age of information. Do you have any site to recommend over Wikipedia?

Can you explain how it works? Why does it degrade when a human ingests it, but kills the insects it targets?
