For the same reason I would show someone a “totally real and honest” screenshot of my company’s finances for some quick cash. Doubly true if there’s effectively no way to be caught.

Why would they have a change of heart when the only people interested in that happening refuse to engage? All you’re doing is ensuring the strength of their beliefs. Edit: You don’t have to like someone to not actively attack them at every

I am not surprised google has many tools to tell you how great google is doing at using google's data for you. Anyways, I was mostly referring to sales at physical locations; I assume it's pretty viable to build a system to figure

I don’t think they need to. I think they just need to shake hands and say it’s okay to have a different opinion. There have been a number of studies around the world, plus some real world examples (Utah gubernatorial 2020) where showing you

Man, can you at least elaborate? This kind of comment isn’t what I wanna see HN devolve into. He’s definitely right with that sentence. Do you not think it’s generally true that the right has been on the defensive with regards to cancel cul

Why are we not counting financial reasons? Yeah, it’s a number both creators and advertisers looking to strike a direct advertising/sponsorship deal can use as an easy point of reference, which cannot readily be modified by the creator

Google in general have been resistant to letting anyone see how effective their ads truly are - and most studies that get close tend to show extremely questionable efficacy results. If Google shows everyone how ineffective ads actually are,

Makes no sense whatsoever. It’s a view counter. People want to know how much it was watched, not how much money YouTube made off of it. They’re pretending people care about their internal metrics, when people really do not. Maybe the creato

Oh, I should’ve been more clear - that’s fake. He has websites set up, etc., but everything he buys is paid for by another woman he tricked.

It all falls back down eventually. Anything too small will stay up for some time, but even the half-billion copper needles put in space by the US have almost all come down. Wikipedia says there are <50 clumps of needles left.

Always wondered if you could mitigate this somewhat by basically putting your sat in a bag of water and leaving the antenna and solar panels sticking out.

They can think deeply, it just takes active effort, whereas the broad-and-quick approach comes naturally. Sometimes sitting back and listening can be fun for them.

I happened across the "Tinder Swindler" video on Netflix the other day, and I was shocked at how elaborate these scams can get. Always thought I'd catch onto this stuff, but... Imagine: you meet someone online. You talk for a

Interesting! Grew up attending chorus for years and years, so the music form is the only one I’ve ever seen :)

The point is that it’s like finding research into how to acquire air. It’s everywhere - just go collect some. Who needs this? I think it’s a valid point.

Despite there being many great breweries in that region, most people shy away (initially) from a state run by a prohibition-style religion. Probably illogical, but definitely real in my experience.

My wife and I are complete opposites. One of us processes data instantaneously, connecting it to dozens of other topics at the flip of a switch, and integrating broad knowledge. This makes for a great member of, say, a tiger team. The other

Your friend is the exception, I think. I’ve not lived below 5000 ft for over a decade, and every time I get to sea level, I feel like I can run FOREVER. My personal records are all from those types of trips.

Because nuclear engineers, plant operators, radioactive mining facilities, and other types of workers that will be needed across both, need to be employed from today until fusion reactors are made.

Ah yeah, now that you mention it I’ve heard BYD is doing well in most markets (plus others, I assume). Even ignoring current tariffs, I’m not sure an overtly Chinese car would catch on in the US, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been wrong before.

Weird thing to see downvoted. I’ve dropped my salary by $50k to maintain a better work-life balance once.

They are when the power spikes for the day, in a typically predictable fashion. I’m not sure of anything more available that isn’t really dirty.

Why would fusion reactors magically appear when the entire field of nuclear energy production is, in this scenario, essentially dead??

by kulahan 1y ago
Damn, so we’re left with nothing, because nuclear is by far the most viable moving forward.

I was under the impression tidal was mostly tapped out because any half-decent location has already been turned into a power plant.

Could you expand more on your car point? I thought BMW and Benz were doing great at the moment. I dunno much about Audi or VW, but Mini also seems to be doing well (which I thought was British, but one of their models has literally the sa

I don't pay much attention to Nintendo news these days, aside from the occasional exciting game I see (my wife is crazy about Fire Emblem, so today's a good day!), but I was under the impression this was kinda specifically aimed a

Geothermal is, imo, the only true competitor to nuclear. It's great at providing cheap, consistent, clean energy. Nuclear is really only needed for baseload generation, like when demand massively spikes.

I had no idea I was off by so much with respect to waste, thanks - that's important to know. Still seems like a fairly good trade though - 7000 tons for ~400GW. You're definitely right about long-term storage being a concern; I th
