I know that in Ontario, the Bruce Nuclear Plant (with about 8GW capacity) is designed to run indefinitely through a power outage and did during the Northeast blackout in 2003. I assume that sort of power would be enough to bootstrap the gri

It's not that it isn't feasible, it's that it's less profitable. It might even be unprofitable. If Facebook can't be profitable without facilitating slave trading, perhaps it should be allowed to go out of business.

Honestly, just keep doing what you're doing - I don't think you've produced a video yet that I haven't found captured my interest. I'm sure you'd be tinkering and experimenting regardless of whether you shared

I think part of the problem is that Typescript doesn't have support for error-as-value baked into the language and pervasive in the ecosystem, so adopting that style isn't as ergonomic as it would be in a language that does. The e

That's not true. We have regulations for a reasons, and businesses have to abide by them.

But fast delivery on par with or better than Amazon in most cases.

> Amazon has the attitude of “get the thing to the customer, immediately”. Most of the other places have an attitude of “we want to build a long-lasting relationship with you, the consumer”. Sometimes that long-lasting relationship is wh

Greg Lemond said that "it never get easier, you just go faster." A nicer bike isn't going to mean that you work any less hard, it just means you go faster. And fast is fun.

I'm not exactly sure why Berlin Bike Cafe didn't really work out in the end. I do think KW is very well served by existing bike shops, and while Graham focused on a market segment that isn't well-represented by incumbents, it

Humans are expending energy regardless of whether they're washing dishes or not. The question is how much extra energy they expend when washing dishes over whatever they might do otherwise.

Notably, the Rust borrow checker has exposed a tonne of bugs in the LLVM noalias optimizations. I believe the latest versions of rustc now have noalias enabled since the LLVM 12 release, but it's been a long cycle of enabling it, disco

Perhaps the wings are simpler because they don't have the engine pylon structures and the associated wiring/hoses for the engines, not because of the weight of the engines as the article states.

Sometimes experienced users are also served well by walking through the steps. At least at our company, you see field technicians who think they know what is happening and try to short-circuit the troubleshooting process. Sometimes they a

It also almost always requires a lot of land. You could not feed the globe if everyone was self-sufficient.

My experience is that high-achievers in one area are often high-achievers in other areas as well. For academics as well as athletics, individual ability matters, but the discipline and work-ethic that most high-achievers have translates acr

I mean, it worked in this case, but winning from the break, especially for an important race like this, is rare. They were definitely lucky.

I think part of the problem is that car manufacturers do an extremely good job of reducing noise inside the car. When I'm driving my car, I scarcely hear the noise around me. If I'm running alongside the same street, though, I nee

If cities actually make efforts to accommodate cyclists in winter, it actually ends up being quite practical and the temperature isn't really an issue. Montreal is an example of a city that has made efforts to do just that and has seen

You're letting pedantry get in the way of the far more important point that making the medication more affordable would save lives.

I don't think you can dismiss the sustainability of meat-substitutes just because we as a society continue to use coal or import plastic. A bean-based veggie burger has a much lower environmental footprint regardless of those things. T

I'm not really a fan of that model either, but for what it's worth, Ryan Levick, one of the presenters, has some good learning material on Youtube that's long form. https://www.youtube.com/c/RyanLevicksVi

The context, though, is that the assertion you are saying is worth consideration (homosexuality cannot be selected for and is therefore a disorder) was the orthodox scientific position not too long ago, was then thoroughly debated, debunked
