Light sensitivity is a thing. https://www.milaneyecenter.com/resources/a-guide-to-light-se... . This discussion and article come across deeply offensive.

This discussion makes me realize we could have a 100% renewable energy grid and discussion will still be pushed with the same old “arguments” against renewable being feasible. Ridiculous.

"Overall, credit unions’ balance sheet positions seemed to be more resilient to unrealized interest rate risk than banks" There's a way to measure the (mathematical economic) optimal size of a bank. Turns out, CUs are usually

At which point charging will take longer because of the lines involved. Hope they're building out. I hear and see no chargers being built. And they totally could be.

I can’t stand the look of a single BMW nor the other SUV you mentioned. To each their own, and toyota styling does have fans. (Wish the Lexus front end was more aerodynamic though)

Plus you can linearly ramp up the BEV powertrain as tech and scale progresses over time while diminishing the ICE side. And eventually swapping in a hydrogen fuel cell is a possibility in the long term. (Not in the same vehicle, of course)

Try living in an apartment in a small town a good drive from a city. I dream everyday of a pure BEV, but the range and charging infrastructure are just not there. Oh and winters and hot summers exist.

RAV4 prime is awesome, if you can get it. Time should make them more available.

I think the underlying argument also misses the “willingness to pay” on at least a couple parts of the transaction. Specifically assuming the grid provider is going to pay you to use their electricity. (Transmission is still costly and mayb

Simulation hypothesis is the new solipsism. And every time that topic came up in my philosophy readings I was bored to tears. In line with his point 1.

Absolutely, when gas doubled during the Great Recession I personally saw much less traffic on the roads in the major US city I lived in at the time. People were also much less aggressive on the roads. Unlike those days, people can now offse

I kind of agree. Right now, too, what is happening is what you describe. The other options are getting cheaper and will eventually be the cost effective solution. On the other, taxing societal negatives is exactly how to disincentivize them

People make the best decisions when the benefits are up front, not delayed to a yearly tax filing with a probability of distribution dependent upon income.

We just fundamentally disagree on the criticality of hydrocarbons. In your version of the future, we’re all dead. In mine, the future might include a better life for all.

For there, that'd be 32/gallon with the old figure I used.

That's assuming the situation follows your specified path. In reality, an economy transitioned to tech beyond fossil fuels probably enjoys much greater production dynamics. For instance, the US could build out nuclear power to satisfy

It's finding a way to input the external costs of consumption of emissive products into their final price(s). In reality, a gallon of gas causes significantly more damage than the price paid at the pump - it was like $16/gallon wh

Sure, but adding metadata to zfs would probably be easier than modernizing BeFS. Just in general as FSes are very worthy of being a project unto themselves. Thinking of low lying fruit to get maximum value easily. BeFS doesn’t have to go an

Are they known for that? They deleted a perfectly respectable comment of mine yesterday and I’m a bit wary.

It boots really fast. And the UI on some linux DEs feels laggy at times. This shouldn’t have the decades of cruft making the GUI lag.

Cool but looks like we’re back to graphics cards being unobtainable outside prebuilt rigs from manufacturers.

It might be illustrative if polls were required to post their survey and methods along their results or otherwise disregarded as biased and useless. They won’t do it because “proprietary.”

There are elections every year in the US. Even just going to local council meetings and voting out local electives has profound effects. Then there’s the more visible elections for House Representatives, Senators, and POTUS. But people have
