I really have no idea where this idea that the polls failed comes from. There were only two bad calls this cycle and every other outcome was within the margin of error. It was pretty much the same case in 2016 where people who had no idea

It is yet another ignorant edgelord trying to provoke a reaction to compensate for his empty existence. Just ignore him and eventually he will crawl back into his hole.

Tesla is the last company I would look to for advice about the future of the market for haulage. Weight is one point against battery packs, but easy refill/swap and maintenance are two points in their favour. When you start to deal w

If anything can be said about the breakdown of mail-in ballots vs in-person voting it is that the former favours Biden. NV is likely to be a bit more balanced, but in no instance so far has a vote total moved towards Trump (dems told peopl

As others have noted, I share your pain and am in complete agreement that Dropbox has gone from a must-have utility that was a core part of several key workflows to a steaming crapfest of monetization and upsell. I dropped my subscription

Ah, a completely different version than the NetTrek [0] that I was thinking about. The latter was a 16-person networked game played on workstations running X11 in a similar time period. [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

I think you are misremembering. NetTrek was X11 only back in the late 80s and early 90s. "Ogg the base!!!"

Unless you happen to be one of those 2-3 people. Just let us know when you are ready to be sacrificed for the sake of the market, happy to oblige.

If you look at someone from eye level it is rather hard to mistake their head for a football. You need a certain amount of elevation before it actually starts to look like a sphere.

SMR is based upon well-known technology that we have spent decades working on and improving. Other than pumped hydro and batteries there is no potential grid-scale energy storage mechanism that exists beyond desktop models and toy pilots.

The 'opportunities' email itself means nothing, which is why this whole exercise is laughable. What is being questioned is the rest of the so-called email dump. Emails that actually suggest damaging claims and which would be wor

No the stuff that has been corroborated did not suggest any sort of bribery scheme with foreign governments, but nice try. The only few that have been authenticated do not indicate that they have been read or even went anywhere but a spam

Those installations are borderline profitable because either they are a small drop in the bucket of the required storage capacity (c.f. Tesla battery farm) or are heavily subsidized to make renewables appear viable. You are also making som

Scotland can provide, at most, less than 5% of required capacity if you turned every available loch into pumped storage. Claiming that pumped storage is in any way a viable grid-storage system that can handle baseload in the UK is inaccura

It is far from a solved problem, in fact it is a problem that shows the simple solutions to be infeasible. Battery prices are several orders of magnitude above where they would need to be to provide true grid-scale storage and production c

by evgen 6y ago
Considering the fact that battery storage would need to undergo several orders of magnitude in price reduction to provide true grid-scale storage, does this really matter? Battery storage is, at best, going to provide municipal load for mi

It is truly amazing the lengths to which people like you will continue to lie and dissemble for the sake of this false narrative. Not surprising really, but just sad. The emails that have been verified are bush league vague messages that l

It is not bias at CNN, it is that the conservative media and pundits have spent so long working the refs that people who do not know any better assume the bias exists and continue to parrot the point.

Glenn Greenwald is a hack. He stumbled into his one big scoop (Snowden) and since then has not really distinguished himself or shown that one case to be anything more than a lucky break. He is not independent of partisan politics, he is s

And yet none of the actually damaging or morally questionable emails have available DKIM signatures that can be verified. How funny that is. Almost as if the liars who wish to continue pushing this bit of political disinformation are unab

You do realize that the mechanism you use to 'wash' disinformation is to mix it in with other legitimate (hacked) data, right? If the party you are attacking denies the validity you have a few real bits of data you can point to a

This is the important point here IMHO. There are two errors that the tails need to deal with, voter shifts that are missed by polling and black swan events that completely upend the table. I think that the 528 model lumps a lot of the lon

The models will work just fine. We are talking about large numbers here, and your small sample of anecdotes does not mean anything. No, there is no mass exodus. No, it is not going to change the results. Yes, the current polls are more

And in particular any claim 538 was the site that was off the mark compared to other prediction sites is clearly based in a reality that is not shared with the rest of us. In the week before the election Nate and crew were posting articles

It is also worth considering your threat model in this case. I am unlikely to face an attacker with nation-state resources, so I actually print out my backup codes on paper along with instructions on how to use them to bootstrap my entire
