What if the far more common occurs, and the C level execs raid the company for their own short term interests? Or isolation of the board from information at all levels of the company leads to poor decision framing?

I suspect it’s going to be a discussion similar to the introduction of music sampling, followed by a lot of litigation, followed by a settling of law on the matter. The interesting part is if AI will be considered a tooling mechanism much l

It’s not so much about face saving as it is about maintaining some form a transition path to a more peaceful state. And to understand what path might be an option one has to have some forum of frank discussion - likely not with the leaders

Right, there was strife between the nations but also tension relief with some back channels remaining open and it was happening all at the same time. Perhaps is just isn’t as visible now - but it seems like back channels keep getting intent

During the cold war, the leadership of America made sure to try to deescalate, maintain multiple communications channels, and keep open favorable outlets to peaceful outcomes. It seems like a notable shift that none of these seem to be ver

Execs should also get held responsible for some churndex number because that ultimately reflects on how good the execution is in a way that cash flow deltas alone does not reflect.

Large margins are also distracting and a waste of human time. I wish browsers or sites would automatically flow the text into n columns depending on the view window size. It's not trivial but if one is optimizing for reading, then extr

One could look for more direct sources, but the summary is that energy payback happens in 1-4 years out of current 25 year "life". And that 25 years is typically a warranty to 80% of original capacity. Year 26 of operation is not

If someone neglects to clear their home area of burn material, and their house catches fire then burns their neighbors house - there certainly is a liability. We live in a society where individual actions and rights have boundaries when the

This is a curious way to put it. No matter what legal rights to water we have previously allocated, when everybody is going to be short of water - the legal rights only go so far. The whole reason for society to invest in carbon emission re

If the cities weren’t built up the agricultural water users would likely just use more water. They account for 80% of California’s use.

Seems odd not to encourage both as PV solar and a heat pump go pretty well together. Is it more of a question of legislative particulars vs technology?

Office jobs, particularly for engineers also used to involve the requirement of showing up in a suit and a tie. Unnecessarily on-site work, I predict will go the way of the suit and tie.

It's really not much of a leap to put a charger in many more spots. It was a bigger effort for many first rural grid electrifications for instance.

A gallon of gas has about 34 kWH of energy in it. Let’s say a ice passenger vehicle gets about 35mpg - so it takes about 1KWH of gas to move the car a mile. A Tesla 3 has gets takes around 25kWH to go 100mi. So about 0.25 KWh per mile. The
