I just think it's an odd line of argument. The system also avoids most if not all of the pitfalls of hydroponic cultivation. Because it categorically is not that .

I had to go read the article to check because other operators have been entering into PPAs with oil companies, but for photovoltaic power. E.g. Google and TotalEnergies. https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2026/02/09/

20 years ago I read this magazine article about putting kites on container ships for efficiency. This gadget seems to have durable appeal to entrepreneurs and/or suckers. https://www.economist.com/technology-quarterly&#

They avoided all those pesky distributed systems problems by making a system that is not distributed. Hell of a claim.

That isn't true about private automobiles and I would be interested to know where you have been hearing it. It must come from some party with a vested interest in making car emissions seem like a non-problem. In reality, car emissions

In my area the fuel cost of a hybrid car is a better deal than recharging an EV at PG&E retail rates, but this is just a policy knob that we can turn whenever we decide to get serious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions. If people a

No. Many of us are delighted to have high density housing nextdoor, across the street, or on our own property. Many are glad for new rail lines, the closer the better. The people you mentioned are just NIMBYs.

The Great Man Theory of computer science is a bit tiresome.

Ok, but your doubts were factual. If you wanted to offer a more convincing doubt about the method, I suggest complaining about their treatment of mix shift.

They aren't going by the minima, they are taking the 33rd percentiles.

If it's disappointing then it's been disappointing for over 5 years, since Hyundai has owned the company for 5 years.

You can't have lived through that era and believe that print classifieds were scam-free. I'm sure the rate is higher today, but in the newspaper era it wasn't zero. In fact there's an unbroken lineage going back decades

Interesting. I wonder why they feel it is not necessary or not profitable to do it in the Bay Area.

I use both in the Bay Area and have never succeeded in selling anything on FB. Craigslist usually connects me with some buyer and if not I go to eBay.

Craigslist doesn't even charge for rental listings, do they? I thought they only charge for help wanted ads.

The fact that you think this has anything to do with Maps is weird.

Hydro resources are worse than anything because of their fish-based flow restrictions. They can't flow consistently all the time, the fish hate that. They have to ebb and flow.

Text is not cheaper to produce. Most people can type out a lot of drivel but something worth reading takes practice and talent to write.

This YouTube video shows (silently!) the assembly of a watch very similar to the one drawn in this blog. I found it quite informative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kILYJ0qFhHM

People from Transmeta told me stories about how their translators were full of special case optimizations to fix horrors they discovered in Microsoft Windows itself.

That wasn't my point. Subsidizing rural service is a state policy. If major cities increasingly divorce from PG&E, and the true cost of rural electrification starts to be charged upon actual rural people, that might not work politi

You did this wrong but drew the right conclusion. Hetch Hetchy system exists but it is nowhere near the scale of powering the entire city of San Francisco.

The other angle that people may not realize is that SF has voted in nine separate elections to not establish a municipal utility. The people of SF demonstrably do not want to take over PG&E, given numerous opportunities. SMUD has cheap

Maybe, but SVP has two massive advantages: it delivers almost all of its energy to a handful of gigantic customers, not homes. Contrary to internet belief, having a customer base dominated by industry makes power cheap to deliver. Secondly,

California desalination is almost not practiced at all. Are you sure it's a significant source of sodium for industry?

Hrmm. I don't think there exists a set of compiler flags that will just make an existing C++ (or, worse, a mixed C and C++) project safe to the extent that you suggested. The STL hardening flags don't help for ordinary arrays that

Trump also said he would refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve "right to the top" in 6 weeks and, instead, emptied it to its lowest level ever. He also said foreign investment in the United States would rise to 22 trillion dollar

You joke, but this is enough to make recharging an e-bike practical. E.g. https://amplerbikes.com/pages/nova
