Oh they sell a plant kit, but that is meant for practice. They also made a dog glow-in-the-dark. The guys at the Odin have done a lot of stuff on humans too. One of them tried (and failed) to give himself a gene that would have made him a i

There was no opportunity to lose money if you diversified with an index fund or frankly even an actively managed fund. For every one of these guys their is another who lost money compared to the market. People should not push the narrative

Yes, heat pumps do win. They win even more when you consider that the energy mix is not 100% fossil fuels. Globally something like 15% of energy comes from renewables or nuclear, plus 20-ish % from natural gas which is, as you said, 50-ish

I think you are misunderstand where most of that energy comes from. Say I have some refrigerant in liquid form at a low pressure. That refrigerant will have a boiling point of say, -20 degrees F. I use the ambient air, which is say 0 degree

I think the biggest difference between the military and industry is that the civilian side of the government enforces laws on industry but does not enforce laws on the military. I know many people who would love to not have to deal with the

I also tend to be skeptical when I see something hyped, but I work in this space and I can say that this tech is really the best option for most residential applications. It's old tech, it's been around since the 1800s. The only t

One* heat pump will do fine, but you might need a low temperature heat pump depending on where you are. After you factor in that gas is cheaper than electricity per kWh, the system should save you money as long as it is running at an effici

Well of course it is being pushed, though I would not necessarily call it coordinated. Companies that sell heat pumps are advertising hard. It's an easy sell for them with rising gas prices. The US government is "pushing them&quot

If your true goal is to have fun while programming, why not just play a Zachtronics game (TIS-100 or Shenzhen I/O)? Same difficulty as programming a piece of software (if not more difficult), but no dealing with all of the complex anno

Even though they don't really discuss links like HN does, I think this is the right answer. Frankly I wish the quality of discussion on HN was as high as it is on RR.

As a practical matter the meaning of the Constitution is determined by the courts. In many, many cases, the Constitution is simply ignored (or, if you're trying to be charitable, "interpreted") in favor of the political conve

10% is the one year category inflation for food, 15% since 2020 is the overall CPI inflation. These are different numbers because the first only looks at the food that Americans buy while the second looks everything people spend their money

Inflation accounts for healthcare costs. That is baked into the 6.5% number.

>Jan. 1st 2020 was more than three years ago. January 1st 2020 was 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days ago. Apologies for rounding. However, that really just pushes (albeit insignificantly) further against the claim that we have experienced 50%

> presumably weighted by cost and volume Inflation is weighted by the average of what people buy (although it is not quite that simple, because it needs to be the same year-to-year). Inflation less housing is still not even close to 18.5

by elil17 4y ago
Inflation is 50% vs. 2006 Only 15% vs. 2020 This is an 18.5% jump in debt in a period where prices rose about 6.5%. It does not make sense to say that this is explained by inflation.

I think by that logic you could also equate getting a punch in the gut with being murdered. Sure, it's worse to get murdered, but it happens much less frequently then just a simple fistfight. Therefore, newspapers should talk less abou

I've been using ZipChord for a few months now and I have found it to work extremely well as of the 2.0 release (which includes a filter that better distinguishes between character entry and chords). It is now at the point where it &quo
