This strikes me as an attribution problem e.g. Within large companies business units are treated as standalone financial entities so you are either making money or a cost center. I think what could be happening here is that the kubernetes g

That seems reasonable, but easier still is putting your thumb on the Gigafactory 3 from Tesla. As long as Tesla understands that things will go smoothly as long as Starlink happens to not work there, it won't.

All of that, then, testing the entire stack again. Unstacking and manipulating them after packaging is a nonzero risk to all of them.

Curious about the 'doesn't work while moving' that seems to me to be one of the advantages of a phased array. Since it is software derived aiming I would guess it would excel at adjusting for movement. Do you have details on

I think it might be time to look again? Cost of panels is extraordinarily low and cost of installation (e.g humans) is not on a similar curve. I looked at price/watt and went ahead and installed. The payoff period is ~11 years, 1 1&#x2

I find that people like to think of this as a theoretical problem, when it is tractable to solve the bulk of it for a lot of folks. Thinking of the average price of a US vehicle $37k, here is what we did with that same amount: Installed 9.4

So your argument is that because cars have upsides, the downsides can't be greater? The downsides of making cars central are huge, and because of that large progressive cities are removing them. That doesn't sound like hyperbole,

Exactly. Run your own. I setup and teardown vpn's all the time, takes about 5 minutes to launch, a min to teardown via simple cloudformation script.

You could buy a used leaf today, it has USA safety features, is at that price point (mine cost 9.9k after fees, you can find them now for less) and has more than 100kms range. The leaf is better than this car in a hundred ways.

I think the parent was implying that the show's effect was time shifting imminent suicides to 'now'. Since the consumption of streaming media is big-spike-on-release + long tail, that big spike when the show is released would

That's where we disagree. You think power storage will take a magic physics solution, and I think it is normal engineering (pumped storage, rail/gravity potential generators, utility scale battery banks for leveling).

Where do you think China got that strategy? We've long had aid-with-strings-attached.

I'd go one more explicit step: the carbon we emitted made us wealthy while externalizing the costs. The recipe for gaining wealth at present for poor countries is, emit a shit ton of carbon in the pursuit of growth. If we're serio

That's right. All my neighbors use the excess solar power during the summer, and during the winter I use more grid power than I create. I get credits in the summer and use them up during the winter. A giant leap in solar efficiency doe

No one who charges an EV away from home is charging at that rate, that's for an at home 'trickle' charger. Look up any L2 charger and you're well above that rate, and rates are only going for public chargers.

Why is it not feasible? I run 32 panels on my roof, in the pacific northwest which is known for its rain, it covers 100% of my residential and electric car usage when considered on an annual basis. If roofs required solar panels we would ha

This just seems like common sense though? There isn't a conflict here that I can see. Use renewables to eliminate some carbon, add natural gas plants (which are cheap and quick to build by comparison) for leveling. Dump coal. Then buil

LEED is like an energy star rating for a home. Mine got a silver I think (low 50's). So it could be mandated, display the houses result alongside the listing perhaps.

But the article doesn't say "look how tough we have it" it says "look how broken we all are." And not many people want to look, instead we want to do the endless phone upgrade cycle except with our lives.

The start of the story is. This one has a different ending though w/ climate change. We'll optimize our ad spend right up until the end.

No, because this isn't a binary result. If group a and b both have bias 1, that bias won't be cancelled. But if they differ on bias 2, the combined group has less bias than a or b while not having 'cancelled all biases perfec

And the forest fires and beetle vulnerability are not unrelated to current climate change (at least in California last I read), so that might help close the non-anthro-centricity argument they are using for different accounting methods.

This is a key point, and points to so many thing being broken at the same time it hurts my head. The real smoking gun would be to find some sort of defacto evidence that doctors got the hint that denial gets them more business. That would s
