I'm not fully informed about pumped storage, but twenty minutes is more than enough for most hydroelectric plants to go from 0 to full power, and that's probably the case for pumped storage as well. Eg, In the case of Cruachan Pow

For the first part, I totally misread that several times. Sorry about that. Looking around, the exact number is quite hard to pin down because of the definition of it, but ~30% is probably a very fair estimate based on https://ta

Where did you get 30% from? I'm just curious since NWS data is widely used as a source for creating weather forecasts, which if I had to guess near 100% of people use in one way, shape, or form. I think Google uses it, so anyone with a

It was supposed to be "the feds", short for "the federal government", but missing the s led to autocorrect on my phone correcting it to "the Fed". I can't edit it now, luckily I think the message is still

California is not a great example, since they pay out to the Fed so much more than they receive, so that infusion isn't really an infusion when you consider the overall budgets.

As someone from the US, I consider all those industries to be almost fully for profit. Our k-12 education is public, but constantly under fire to move those public funds to private providers via various voucher programs. I would say that ea

At least in New York state, they've recently tried to deal with this discrepancy while still keeping the incentive to install solar. There's a flat rate fee for all electricity customers to be hooked up to the grid to support grid

From the author, it's a newsletter on what she's thinking. I didn't see any advertising of shoddy medicine or claims of being scientific. Do we call out authors for writing poetry on the human experience? Why should we apply

I prefer the corollary: Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice. At this point, whether it's stupidity, or others taking advantage of that stupidity to induce malicious actions. It doesn't really matte

I've also filled out insurance quote forms several times to see the interplay of the questions and price. Quite often many of the questions do not change the quote. So the existence of the question in a form does not imply a change in

At least at places I've worked, terminating the logger would cause a security incident, and the central logging service have some general heuristics that should trigger a review if a log is filled with junk. Of course with enough time

While I ostensibly agree about learning how to deal constructively with opposing perspectives, I also don't think online discourse (main stream avenues) will ever be the place to learn or partake in those sorts of conversations. Even i

Actually, there are some studies that show a anti-depressive effect from exposure to heat/fever like conditions. These are just two from a rudimentary Google search to check if I was remembering correctly. https://pmc.ncbi.n

For the restaurants mentioned in the article, I fully agree. Especially because you're not losing much quality. A pizza hut pizza will be just as bad at a pizza hut as it will be 15 minutes later at home or in a park. The same goes for

Not to be flippant, that sounds like working at a lot of big tech companies nowadays. More conceptually, you have the constant churn of in house tooling meaning what you wrote last year needs to be rewritten to work with the new version of

I'm extremely skeptical for the value in this. I've already seen wasted hours responding to baseless claims that are lent credence by AI "reviews" of open source codebases. The claims would have happened before but these

I'm not sure if it was the point, but both United Healthcare Insurance and OptumRx are both owned by United Health Group. Also I think it's about 1 in 10 doctors in the US work for them in one form or another. They've been in

The same argument could be made in the other direction though. More, but worse, coverage could lead to behavioral changes that result in worse outcomes. Specifically, people feel more confident and go swimming when normally they'd only

The poor of today (2023) are the middle class of 2003-2008? That's a hard comparison with the housing crash of 2008, but I don't think the tide has risen enough for that comparison to be accurate.
