I think it's actually been happening on a broad economic scale with different scales of organizations being in different phases. Basically when a nation or company is expanding into new productive capacity without any previous thing th

The housing prices have little to do with immigration and everything to do with nimbyism, bad zoning practices, and indirectly, wealth inequality (which ends up being pressure for a capital biased landlord nimbyism in real estate)

You're thinking labor force particpation rate, also tracked by the BLS. It's more or less returned to within a percent of what it was pre-Covid https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-lab

Why would you imagine that free housing would be something to envy over regular rentals? Minimal housing, possibly surrounded by other at-risk people working through serious issues seems like not something to envy.

This idea of worrying about who gets what for free before actually solving the problem, is a major blocker in solving the homelessness problem. And not only do the homeless suffer for it, the people who have work or homes in the area suffer

It's not a completely different topic. If a microgrid interface is allowed, for example, then different community and investment models can be considered on a per microgrid basis. If only utility models exist, then most likely a much

There is a difference between esg being individually good for companies and esg performing well in funds. That perhaps speaks more to fund management than esg itself. Most funds perform more poorly than broad indexes for example.

Utilities are actually incentivized to charge more per kwh in order to capture profits at an allowed percentage of that kwh. That really serves nobody but the shareholders of the private utilities, and it certainly does not serve the poore

But they don't buy at retail rates, so that's a fallacy. The CA utilities pay a fraction of retail rate for residential grid energy inputs with even the old NEM. And I am charged a separate grid connection fee with that setup, so

It's mainly going to inconvenience the poorest people who have the least amount of flexibility. I have solar and a battery so it's really very little inconvenience for me, but those who can't afford that (and it's harder

As a residential electricity user there is little reason for me to be on tou unless I also have an Nem for installed solar. All the tou might do is expose me to inconvenience and high costs.

It’s possible, but in California for instance, I see large utilities constantly placing blockages in the way via regulatory capture of the PUC.

For certain crops some of those vast fields are basically setup with temporary greenhouse enclosures. It makes me think that there is some accessible state in between that is an improvement to current practice. Especially if one thinks wate

I wonder if there is a filtering effect here where people who have relatively better soft skills and technical knowledge move into industry, and what we are seeing in academic circles is biased to what the industry declined.

I think the technology is there, but maddeningly the system is going the opposite direction in terms of utilizing the technology for human good, or even basic human needs - the system path utilization and distribution is not sustainable. AI

To rephrase the question a little: What if technology (AI just being a recent addition) can produce enough value for everybody to live but the system we live in refuses to provide for them in even the most minimal way? The lower threshold

Good point on the timezones. Though when they say US only, I presume that they're not prepared to do international payroll even in the same timezone.

I see far more job remote reqs specifying US only, or time zone +/- n hrs limited than worldwide reqs.

My experience is certainly limited. Seems to me, for a bank to enter into that kind of arrangement aligns much more with the core skill set vs tech companies in the typical HN community. But even then I could see the FANG companies with a l

My experience is that companies almost never own their own buildings - at most they may have a long term lease, and even then long term is maybe 5 years.

Orthogonal vs non-orthogonal is specialized jargon. And discussion should try to stay accessible and prefer a more widely understood term if a specialized term really isn’t offering any advantage in the discussion. So I’d agree with you on

Just another reason to avoid Adobe products if at all possible. And one less reason to pay them if the licensing is badly managed to the point that you paid and you’re exposed to liability that only Adobe had the visibility to manage.

Having worked with non-orthogonal coordinate systems, the use seems fine with me. “Straight line” movement along an orthogonal dimension usually induces a change in multiple non-orthogonal coordinates. So colloquial use of saying something

If they buy another iPhone, how do they authenticate to the cloud account? A password that hasn’t been used in months or years? Standard credit collection agency data (which is stealable and has been stolen for many people already?)
