Agreed, the first-party cookie is pretty self-evidently not a web-wide tracker. There are lots of config options. Here's what I like to use: // Google Analytics Code. (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObje

Unfortunately, dams really don't represent that big of an energy store in practice.

You are primarily going to get responses from people on threads like this who like and use DDG regularly. Selection bias. If you didn't find DDG useful, you wouldn't be using it, and probably don't have much commentary to add

I've been trying to figure out a good way to create a date picker for a user's birthdate, and coming up short. Most date pickers assume that the date is in the near future and that the "day of week" context (ie: tuesday)

No clue. The value of stealing that trailer goes up a lot more though if it's a stack of high density batteries. The gas range extender though means that you can take your EV on a road trip and refuel in a matter of minutes. Overnight

Renewables do make for more intermittent supplies of power. However EVs have the potential to smooth that out. Charging speeds across a city can float somewhat with available power and most consumers will not care or even notice. At some po

It seriously takes me 2 seconds tops to plug or unplug. That's zero as far as getting in the way of my life. And it isn't necessary to do this every day either.

This is a false dichotomy. One's own vehicle is far from one's only mode of transportation.

The DC fast-chargers are pretty good for me. I drive an 3y old Leaf with 85mi range, so I get an 80% charge in about 20 minutes though, which is hardly a big deal. It'll take me 5-10 to gas up as is, and usually the chargers are somewh

That exists, but also is unreliable. I've seen chargers that believe they are operational but the card reader is broken for example, so there is no way to authenticate. There is a DC fast-charger at a walgreens not far from where I liv

Read the article. This isn't going towards buying EVs, it's going towards installing a public network of charging stations. Wealthy or not, you won't buy an EV if you can't charge it. It also explicitly places an emphasi

In theory, if you can pair generation and consumption more locally (such as a solar roof powering the car sitting under it), transmission costs can drop as well. In the small scale, producing infrastructure that can bill your meter going bo

I think this is a bit far fetched, but I like the idea of something similar. Have rental stations with trailer hitch gas generators that I can pull along for longer rides. Turns every EV into a Chevy Volt.

I won't go somewhere with my EV unless I can get back without charging or there are 2 DC fast-chargers at different installation sites in the area I'm going. 2 chargers in the same parking lot are more likely to be 'down&#x27

I fully concede this (and jacobolus's) point. I'm not a health researcher either, so don't take my word for any of this. Building a double-blind clinical trial regarding changing people's diets over their lifetime and ob

This type of article also triggers confirmation bias. "I found an article that said eating salads is sometimes bad for me." + "I ignored the body of research that says that eating salads is almost always great for me.".

Honestly, whatever form of cooking gets you to eat them is probably the best preparation. Some nutrients in some vegetables are diminished by cooking ( https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1750-38

Keep things in perspective though. That article mentions 3,000 people per year die from food poisoning, and leafy vegetables are the cause of 1/4 of that, or 750 deaths/year. However, heart disease alone causes 610,000 deaths per

Depends on the locale. In many places, there is more housing than demand for housing, and so rent is based on the cost more than the ability to pay. In bay area markets, rent is based on the renter's ability to pay of course.

It is just a subset of HTML (as is amp). Most email providers that accept HTML formats already only accept a subset of HTML. This is just a different, more formally defined, subset.

That's fair, but I think losing perspective of the tradeoffs. The AMP preload will fetch only the main html file and AMP javascript. Images, videos, etc are all deferred until later. The javascript is cached for a year, so you probably

Note also that Google doesn't show AMP for desktop user-agents.

Good question. Preload that actually renders the documents includes running enough javascript and parsing enough CSS that the initial document will render. With a non-constrained document, that can include fetching resources not on Google&#

This is strictly slower than an AMP preload, which is why I mention that even a .txt file will load slower. The .txt file document still requires a network round-trip, regardless of javascript. On some wired connections, a network round tri

The look-and-feel argument is a misunderstanding of AMP. What you probably notice are pages generated by the Wordpress AMP plugin, which does not implement much in the way of different templates. AMP has some severe constraints on javascrip

This is really beautiful. I love that the images are SVGs as well, makes perfect sense for these line drawings. Though it is a little bit of a bummer that all of them have embedded fonts, even those that don't use text.
