Seems more like electricity pricing, which has peak and offpeak pricing for most business customers. To handle peak daily load you need capacity that goes unused in offpeak hours.

If people repeatedly have a misunderstanding about or expectation of your business you need to address it though. An llm hallucination is based on widespread norms in training data and it is at least worth asking "would this be a goo

Ah, thanks, you're right. Though I was thinking mainly of direct air capture. Point source is great, but not actually net sequestration. Need to look into this a bit more, but what would you say the theoretical efficiency is, could we

It is exceedingly likely that any sequestration will take substantially more energy than burning fossils fuels produced. I couldn't explain it properly in physics terms but when you burn fuel you are releasing stored energy and when yo

If the traffic pays anything at all it's trivial to fund the infrastructure to handle the traffic. Historically sites have scaled well under traffic load. What's happened recently is either: 1. More and more sites simply block bot

The USSR was terrible. Remarkably, the Nazis still managed to be substantially worse. As one example there's the Hunger Plan. Hitler's defeat stopped him from executing it, though they had started. He planned to kill 35-41 million

One benefit is you can, say, go for a walk and get a report and act on it as you go. More of a tool for managers, or least it's a manager style tool. You could get a morning report while heading to the office for example. (I'm not

Yes I found it wasn't reliable. Perhaps it has improved, but Obsidian Sync has been excellent. I'm happy to support the developer as I'd like Obsidian to stick around.

The issue with this is most parts of large cities are substantially less dense than incredibly livible neighborhoods such as the plateau area of Montreal. It is illegal to build such a neighborhood in 99% of Canada. People love it here, peo

It's a possibility. SARS II was much harder to contain though. The first SARS actually made it to North American hospitals, but was contained. It didn't spread in the populace. Once SARS II made it out of China, only globally coor

You've completely ignored what I wrote. The formula the white house used to set tariffs would result in lower tariffs for Canada and Mexico. If both countries were included in the formula Trump would have to cut announced tariffs on

So the tariffs were calculated based on dividing goods trade deficit by overall goods trade. If you run that formula for Canada and Mexico, the number would be LOWER than the tariffs already imposed. So they had to leave Canada and Mexico o
