You said yourself: you’re not powerless. It’d be lots of work, but starting a cs degree is possible. But it’s also not everything to be in SV. You can do lots by being a high quality remote worker from Canada.

I was expecting mention of increased transmission due to return to office policies. That certainly happened to me. Didn’t get Covid until some coworkers decided to come to work sick and I had no recourse but be at work with them. They said

Shiller (of the Case-Shiller real estate price index), came out recently and stated he expects the buy side to slow down once the Fed signals they're done raising rates. He typified buyers as willing to pay increased prices now because

Yep have done! Was hoping it was a little more accessible though. Luckily I do have some library access.

Looks like Ford argued for it in 2009 and in 2010 didn’t take it. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/59862-rejecting-... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Icon:_Alan_Mulally_..

I think what you’re really saying is it won’t be until enough people demand a change to a safe path to push through political and monopolistic powers. I fear it’ll take the thing that ultimately allows progress in sciences, the eventual dem

Is there somewhere I could read to become very knowledgeable on all things desalinization? I know I’m already at that point. Just experiencing the southwest heat and lack of water for my life has been enough. It strikes me that the US could

You can rent a pretty near CDL sized truck from UHaul/etc for little trouble. This would represent less than the upfront cost of a truck from the companies POV. They’d only need to worry about the chance people don’t reuturn the batter

Or why can’t an EV drive up to a gas station and pick up a towable battery to get to the next stop. I’ve heard it’s done in China.

I wonder. People definitely talk differently online. Is it possible for someone to filter their online presence enough to not be able to glean much of a diagnosis? Does seem interesting.

Some find where to inject with a radio signal and electric probes. It can hear the firing of muscles. If you’re relaxed and it’s still firing that’s where to inject. Migraines are caused by many things. But having screwed up trapezious musc

I have the impression from my neurologist that insurance companies are now steering patients towards the prophylactic cgrp blockers like Ajovy. It’s got to be much cheaper to give a patient a self injectable than pay a neurologist for dozen

I was in Botox for migraine in the early days. Had more than one conversation with someone who was clearly mistaken that I’d said I was taking Botox for cosmetic purposes very probably because they had. Made for a funny conversation, but no

It’s so small at that point it begins to act a little like a white hole (Hawking radiation iirc?) and evaporates quickly. It’s surprisingly difficult for matter to cross an event horizon. Edit-actually having a small black hole would unlock

So they use 77% of their available land to produce 37% of their protein and 18% of their calories. Imagine how much cheaper calories would be if the land dedicated to plants were simply doubled. Thus eliminating a huge amount of starvation.

My experience and conclusions are very similar but different. I’m part of an increasingly forgotten subgeneration that graduated college and entered professional life in the Great Recession, amongst additional adversities. That makes me aro

This is a topic HN just cannot talk about sanely. "Matching" is very dependent upon culture. But HN is a non-random smattering of people from all over the globe-across very many cultures. Of course there are going to be very impor

This is a really good presentation! The idea that there are emergent details at the large scale not capable of reduction is a big one. The point about counterfactuals not being valid was equally big.

We talk about the ppm of co2 in effect on climate. I was even thinking of releasing additional o2 in that above comment. Or similar -“dissolve“ the carbon in additional atmosphere. But no ideas on secondary effects.

I could see more water being useful in earth. Probably a way to fend off climate change in there too.

Gold is crazy useful. Platinum is one element I could see having expanded uses if it were suddenly much more abundant too. Lots of use cases for things that are hard to deteriorate.

Sounds like it’s mostly lisp. How mathematically correct and proven (in the math sense) is lisp?

Energy is not a bad thing in itself. Fossil fuels are problematic precisely because they’re slightly more energy dense than previous forms of energy while having huge, dispersed externalities not reflected in their upfront costs. Fusion and
