You can still have those at state level, or even lower, by grouping counties. The hill people from Appalachia deserve to be represented by someone local. The low lying coastal communities in the outer banks also deserve to have someone that

Apllo was not the fastest computer in the world. It was a small device enough to shuttle rockets around the moon and back.

Google never had layoffs before 2022, so maybe they did?

maybe don't allow them to hire any visa employee for the next x years? That would make them much more careful with layoffs.

well yeah, because everything is so bespoke: plumbing, electrical, windows, doors, drywall, trimming. I hope to see some kind of evolution of housing where these things are not installed by skilled labor somehow.

In a stick built house you're paying a lot of labor. Material prices are not that much. For example, the material list for a 3 bedroom house is 130k. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/books-build

So you're saying the morale of the story is: if your situation is not an edge case, you're fine with using google. We won't tell you ahead of time what is an edge case though, as google finds new ones all the time. Like that

Clean code explicitly addresses situations like this: the code "seems" identical for the time being, but it's not in the long term, because it applies to different objects, that will evolve independently. This is in the book,

solar PVs are definitely producing more than put in. It takes years, as opposed to months or days for fossil fuels and nuclear, but it does pay back. look up EROI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investmen

I think there are variables with a huge amount of variability for a ship: how heavy it is(heavier - less jumping around), how long, what seas it floats in, how much space they can spare. I agree that this article is too premature: before ev

I will go with 0-1 in whatever numerical system you have implemented, assuming only positive numbers.

You just can't admit being wrong, can you? They are typically first wired in series to increase the voltage as early as possible, to make them safer. If you were to wire them in parallel you would keep a low voltage and increase the am

by flavius29663 3y ago
Again, the dangerous part is the intensity, the amps. Look at your panel in the link, it's at more than 9 amps. If you put them in parallel, you will keep the low voltage, but quickly rise the amps, if you have 5 panels in parallel you

I am talking for hours when there isn't much renewables. If you set the timeline to 24 hours and look at the hours, you have periods with 55% gas and also 20% imports. You can assume imports are dirty coal, because that is most of Aust

This is blown out of proportion in the US. EU has stronger laws for environment, worker protection, historical buildings protections, you name it. Yet they can easily install solar under 1 dollar per KWh. This is a self inflicted problem cr

It's relatively easy to generate that amount, especially when you can easily import 20% of your power(very dirty coal power), and also run gas turbines for another 40%, like it is at this very moment https://app.electricitym

uhh, you're right. I took their first listed dimensions, but if you look at the specs, it's your size. Anyway, same ballpark. I was actually considering using some second hand panels to build a fence, that's how I know.

from the article: > By comparison, France’s much-vaunted nuclear power construction spree accounted for roughly 60 gigawatts of capacity between 1975 and 1990, and China built about 400 gigawatts of solar PV capacity between 2007 and 202

When you have 50% of your electricity made using hydro-power, it's really easy to integrate as much renewable energy as you'd like. This is not even the best story, there are countries with close to 100% clean electricity, like No

Most humans on earth already eat way more than what they need. Exercising might actually make them eat less in the long run, because they'll lose weight and not eat so much anymore.

Even a used one will be priced pretty high. Paid 400 or so for a used one, then immediately took it to someone else to verify it's real...they offered 75 for it(I didn't ask, she just said how much she'll pay for it).

that is not nearly enough. You need to make sure the system still works after the update, so you need to carefully control all the versions that go in, test them in lower environments. Also, for any serious application, you will need to do
