This post shows a good and economical path towards short term storage, on the order of hours to days. The cost of storage based on a daily charge/discharge cycle is about $100/MWh ($0.10 per kWh), which is fine if power is essenti

Not GP, but The Netherlands do not move their holidays when they're on a weekend.

If you drive 30k miles a year, yes. I drive 4k miles a year with a car that I bought second-hand 10 years ago for $8,000. EVs are not cheaper for that use case yet.

In the Netherlands insurance is provided by for-profit insurance companies. However, there are very strict rules - they are not allowed to refuse any applicant based on any medical reasons (including preexisting conditions), there is a list

You can repay early in the Netherlands as well. A friend of mine works for a major bank to hedge the risk of their mortgage portfolio. He mentioned once that the biggest risk for Dutch banks is not the risk of default, but risk of early rep

'Next-generation sequencing' was arguably invented in 2000, so it would have been available for Theranos. However, AFAIK they never really tried to sequence DNA, so the availability of 'next-generation sequencing' was ir

Correct, I'd like to add two big mundane factors; Intercontinental flights and heating and cooling your house - the second one is a big contributor to global CO2 expenditures and is strongly influenced by the size of your house.

I guess it's similar to the numbers you get for heritage; eg. you might genetically be 50% Caucasian and 50% Asian. This does not mean that Asians and Caucasians have completely different DNA

I have no idea, but it may be related to 'mad cow disease', which peaked around that time.

Supporters would probably say that this would come at the expense of investors/shareholders.

Replacing only the short flights ( let's say those under 600 mile/1000km) won't sufficiently reduce pollution though.

The comparison is between ice extent measurements at the same date, at differing years, so the day-to-day correlation is not the relevant metric here, but the year-to-year correlation, which should be very low.

Privacy concerns are the most important reason. A more cynical reason might that the odds that a papers is deemed 'ok' is far larger if the raw/anonymous data is not provided. Remember, the authors of the suspect studies prov

Is this inherent to the technology, or because so few nuclear reactors are being built? Is there anyone involved in the construction of the latest reactor that contributed to another one? You learn by doing, and there has been very little c

Based on the abstract of the article https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2304594?query=fe... , I actually think the other explanations are wrong. They are probably reporting the Hazard Ratio, which is

All of the above, but my guess would be that the most expensive part is usually running the phase III clinical trial. You have to pay data managers to perform the randomization, train doctors and nurses to administer it, and the hospital f

For doctors looking to innovate, there are actually a lot of ways to fail fast and safely if you introduce a new drug. First, establish that a drug binds to the target in laboratory conditions (relatively quick). After that, test the drug i

I agree that banning gas for cooking is not important to control climate change. But for new buildings that do not require gas for heating, does it make sense to construct and maintain gas infrastructure just for cooking?

by evandijk70 3y ago
The above is correct. Additionally, they even mention natural gas as a viable alternative in the abstract: "It is essential to expand use of clean fuels and technologies to reduce household air pollution and protect health. These inclu

As an owner of solar panels, I agree - prices were negative today in the Netherlands and I made money by delivering electricity to the grid. Solar panels are extremely easy to disconnect, but this is only done at big commercial sites due t

Censorship is bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. I don't see why banning Facebook in China makes banning TikTok in the US good. It's like saying: White people are discriminated against in China, so we should discriminate aga
