Our main campus has parking for roughly 450 cars. We just added EV charging; two entire parking slots. There's no way our company would outfit every spot with charging in any reasonable future. We already have roughly 35 EVs on the lot

The logical conclusion is to try to get away from needing to drive to work at all.

Considering that the energy companies have been funding counter-research against climate change for most of my life, I think you're looking in the wrong direction.

As with many of the Nazi regulations, they were quite elaborate as they tried to thread competing motivations. Being active in the faith wasn't a binary test for determining if someone was a Jew or was Mischlinge.

by greedo 4y ago
Mischlinge were not considered German nor Jewish, by the Nuremberg race laws, but experienced discrimination as well. They weren't citizens, had no political rights, and most people doing the oppression didn't differentiate betwee

Yup. My company employees a lot of people from overseas, as well as uses consultants from India. It works generally. There are friction points but WFH has actually made some of it easier since everyone is treated the same. The TZ difference

This is an onboarding/training issue, not a WFH issue. In office, this would be highly disruptive to whoever was sitting next to you, unless they were tasked to being your mentor. I used to work next to some coworkers who were very int

Eisenhower was in charge of D-Day, arguably one of the most complex human endeavors. He made the majority of the decisions surrounding it, of course influenced by outside factors (De Gaulle, Churchill). He chose Normandy, he decided which u

Actually diesel in the US has had pretty stagnant prices the last four years. The big drop in 2020 (due to COVID wiping out demand) skews the averages and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has driven this year's prices high. But it'

The simplest explanation is a mis-alignment in incentives. Executives want to have successful projects to show to their value to an organization. But usually the board members are unable to comprehend the details of a project. So the herd m

At a certain level, managers have to delegate broadly. I think this is best illustrated by the US Army. In an ideal situation, the commander general guidance about his intent. Then his subordinates plan how to accomplish it. I wouldn't

When I was a wee sysadmin, still wet behind the ears, I interviewed with a Midwest company for a networking gig. The first step in the interview process was a group phone session (roughly 6 people from this company). They ask you a series o

The list of technologies the CIA has evaluated since it's inception is long and full of quackery.

Imagine a spherical cow. Markets are rarely competitive in a true sense. There are moats/barriers to competition, there's friction for users to switch to a different product. Companies often collude to keep prices static, or use a

If you think businesses will lower prices if taxation is removed, I think you're far off base.

Going to Mars will cost between $100B and $10T (the latter includes building a city). There's no way that Musk can do this on his own without government assistance.

It wouldn't just terminate SLS though, it would probably kill Artemis, which would be a bad thing.

That's because their retail price doesn't reflect the externalities. Cheap subsidized water makes them much cheaper than if the farmers had to pay a fair price.

Most panels have 25-30 year warranty. And even then, they'd still operate at around 80% of rated performance.

Countless murderous(sic)...go free. Of course that's just your opinion, with no link to back it up. I tend to follow the information where I see police abuse, the abuse of rights by the courts/prosecutors, etc etc. You want to blo

One of the ideals and goals of the Progressive Movement in the early 20th Century was prisoner rehabilitation. But the US is just too punitive in nature to ever want to rehabilitate prisoners. We don't want to help non-criminals, so wh

I still use Netflix's DVD service, despite it being a pale pale shadow of its former glory. It makes me sad when I browse their catalog and either fail to find a movie, or find that's its only available in DVD. I find at least 25%

Replace your flower warehouse with a metal shop. Welding, metal cutting/bending etc. Sure sounds like a fun place to live. There's a reason people generally prefer not to live next to businesses. And despite a lot of rhetoric abou

The amount of fraud in the PPP program alone might be north of $80B. And the fraud in the other programs isn't inconsequential either. "large direct payments" is a joke, right? $2500 for a family? That's about one month&

Sure, we should just go back in time to when we had carburetors and simple fuses instead of CAN bus etc. Who needs modern tech in our cars (or computers). Sometimes the whole right to repair movement seems to be populated with luddites who

Special Ed spending is not just severely handicapped kids. Some of them have minor issues that require assistance or an IEP. My daughter for example had a stutter that required the help of a speech pathologist. After a year of help, she no
