You not saying you are not a troll does not make you any less of a troll.

I don’t get your analogy. Comparing manual labor to industrialized farming is comparing (paper) accounting books to programming. Whether you add gps based differential seeding to just doing it by ‘feel’ but still with machines is the differ

Well for code that gets executed billions of times spending more human cycles seems a fair trade off. For boring old corner shop crud, maybe not.

I think livewire was inspired by phoenix liveview. I remember there was even a podcast interview about it.

So you are saying that of the ~1kW of energy that ends up on a m2 from sun only 10-15W is light that is useful for plants? And that is after the power conversion losses? So my solar panel that gets ~200W/m2 could feed 10x the area of p

The prices went nuts several months before Feb 24 due to russian machinations with supply. So your claim about it only being linked to sanctions is only partially true. Also russian controlled gas storage in Germany decided to keep fill lev

Most heat pumps where I live are inverter based and have a very gradual ramp-up, they also control the compressor according to the demand. Some heat pumps even have several inverters to control the compressor and the fans. One of my fridges

Are there even heat pumps where efficiency goes down when the delta-T decreases?

Especially small diesels which take too long to warm up for passenger comfort.

I totally just wrote down my thoughts that came into my mind reading the GP. Not arguing with you. Tho I don't see how you could ever "pay up front" for energy for that long of a period without someone doing a futures deal. A

Bank? Developer? Whoever has to package it in and therefore has to hedge it as well.

The funny part is that Toyota has a very long experience with EV technology. Everyone I have talked to in the EV conversion communities are really impressed by how good the Toyota hybrid inverters are. Their petulance does not make sense to

The interesting upside of your idea is that the energy price is included. 1. bank has more confidence in credit worthiness and can offer better rate 2. customer is more knowledgeable 3. energy cost can be hedged on the futures market

Here in a European country the reality is like this: - property which gets developed for sales gets developed as cheaply as possible, mostly because people are looking to buy the most square meters for their loan capability. We see a lot of

It's even worse than that, listen to the politicians and economists all parroting: - the economy needs to be kicked into gear - we need to inspire consumer confidence to spend more - GDP growth over anything - employment rate needs to

If we keep telling Elon that all of his stunts are making him uncooler and he keeps upping the efforts of trying to be cool. Will it lead to fusion energy by the end of this year?

A `DELETE FROM` function can be used for good or bad. A gun can be used for good or bad (see the war in Ukraine, it can be used to murder or protect your family from murderers). A code change excluding a known, named entity from safety chec

Nature as a whole may change, habitats change. That is not caring tho, no? Also, mutation (as in variation) is one of the pillars of evolution. That said, I would rather we don't mess with nature without a very good reason and lots of

I guess the need was different in the .. khm .. political sense. One could argue that nature does not care either way and the Chornobyl exclusion zone has shown a lot of natural diversity/activity. No dead wasteland at all. I wonder wh

Your interpretation is quit a bit more charitable than mine (pun not intended). I don't disagree with it and I guess it is really hard to judge motivations. For me, the quota for benefit of the doubt has been mostly used up.

I mean "effective altruism" is really just "I know things better than you. See the amount of money I have made is proof, therefore I'll make the decisions on how to spend the money on shaping the future of those peons I

So basically, the battery-powertrain efficiency is about 3-4 times better than with diesel. You need 3-4 nuclear plants worth of energy now. But lets see about your math as well. One reactor (of which there may be several in a plant) is let

If you could come up with an effective method of combating stupid on internet you could have an immense effect on climate change. Or trolls or fossil shills or bad faith actors etc.

From me as well. Tho the title can be quite misleading. It's more: how to build a prosperous economy and how not to.

The biggest hurting in my view is them still sharing subscription revenue of all people to the biggest artists. I never listen to the taylorswifts and other really big names. But when I used to pay for premium most of my monies went there a
