Because they operate in a non good faith model where discouraging voting and gerrymander is normalised. The electoral commission is politicised, not neutral and independent. Because voting is held at times and dates which disadvantage worki

No un-answered serious questions. Serious questions are asked, regularly, as well as un-serious ones by cookers. But, the serious questions, the audit, the sense "did we do ok" is continuously asked. We have an independent elector

1. Farmers vote. And, Farmers live in states where the value-per-vote is high under both state-vote balancing, and gerrymander. Farming is politically useful. 2. Food is part of national security. It's sensible to keep the sector worki

Ag. can't just be about profit. There's a dimension which is national-strategic interest. Food security, the domestic food economy is important. It is my understanding that a lot of the US ag. sector is making inputs for processin

I live in an economy where people vote with pencils on paper in cardboard booths and at scalable cost, it just works. Obviously the cost also has to scale linearly for the 200+m voter economies, and time becomes a factor, but for community

32 Fossil fuel firms provide the vast bulk of the fossil fuels used worldwide: That's hardly surprising, economies of scale are a thing. It wouldn't surprise me if FEWER firms provide the shipping services (for instance) at scale,

I said force the cost to the surface. Not set a fixed rate of return: I want the accounting on the build and supply cost at large, as well as the KW charges to be accounted for.

Thank you for some good intel. Thats very interesting. But, I wonder how this affects supply pricing to other customers. Not that you haven't shown the direct power costs have been borne, but the more indirect ones remain for me.

They're a lot harder to build out from those sources because they are costed to run 24/7 and the intermittency issue comes to the fore. Unlike things like aluminium smelters there isn't always a good load-shed or even supply-

Electricity supply is about more than supply cost. It has a build cost, with assumed inputs which are in turn priced by demand, and they're in short supply worldwide. DC costs of construction in power are pushing up the delay and cost

No disagree. I think all enterprises that come with community borne costs (noise, heat, energy use, road use, construction & infrastructure, state incentives) and benefits (tax revenue, jobs) should have some level of accounting. It wou

As long as it's unaccounted for by users it's at best anexternality. I think it may demand regulation to force this cost to the surface. electricity and cooling incur wider costs and consequences.

Not wishing to undermine the central point, NAT for v6 is a thing. The point of the article is that it's not "NAT by default" the way home IPv4 is because so few places worldwide get more than a single IP per customer: The NA

TBH this doesn't seem a particularly high friction change. It seems very like what we have to do already, or like what we do on OSX.

I think a lot of people are missing a point here. Cars are not (just) use-values. They are expression of desire. They are, for some brands, classic Veblen Goods. Porche possibly could sell more by putting the price up They put their marqu

You are absolutely right is something some people in some variants of English say all the time. It may grate but to me, it grates less than "correct" which is a major sign of arrogant "I decide what is right or wrong" an

I would never predict this, but I think it's an idea which has occurred to many people over the years. the name WSL always hinted to me at a group inside MS who wanted Windows to BE the subsystem. I think people who have run UNIX over

Never regretted not striking out on my own, but I suspect people who have the cojones to try, would utterly hate not having tried. It's not symmetric.

I think in due course they will deal with it, but the profit centres in Google do not seem to put humans into decision making roles on customer alerted problems if the customer is a free user. If you pay for Google 1 (eg more storage) you p

This is one scenario. But, there is another. More right wing elements of Europe (Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy) will refuse to join the boycott and we will have both a loss of NATO unity and a loss of EU unity. Chaos!

Passive solar houses do exactly this. But you're fundamentally right, it's not really a retrofit. It's a goal you set for the next house.

I do not see twins as hopeful. Higher feeding and raising burden on a mother, and genetic narrowing. Age separated sisters would permit future auntie-rearing, sharing of the roles. There's always a risk of infant mortality. I don'
