Has anyone mentioned banning cars here? I know people talk about it — I talk about it, semi-seriously — but I don't see any comments here mentioning banning cars (except yours), and it's not in the article.

There's nothing in this article that's bashing them. It's useful information about a policy change.

I definitely get some nice new music on my supermix. I also get songs I've already thumbs downed reappearing repeatedly. It's bizarre how bad it is in some respects, while still being decent in others. (They're not even new t

How spread out can the receivers in a Very Very Large Array be? My understanding is that with radiotelescopy they can be widely dispersed, but I'm far from an expert. Really, you just need manufacturing/contractors in many places.

It's an incentive to keep things going for up to eight years -- arguably only four. "This needs maintenance or it'll collapse in five years" has little political weight if your term ends in four years.

I ordered some Christmas presents to be delivered to my parents' house yesterday and was amused to see that I could choose to have them delivered on my Amazon Day. Seems like Amazon Day should be tied to an address, not an account, but

The Overton window is real, but it's fairly wide open. I could post a pro-socialism argument and get upvoted, I could post a pro-capitalism argument and get upvoted. I could criticize GMOs, or praise them. I could probably defend Trump

No idea. :-) I'm guessing the pigments they used on signage back in the day faded more, but in general blue will fade less.

There's a cost-benefit analysis to be made here, and with 240,000 deaths in the US over the course of about eight months, there's pretty widespread agreement among experts where the rational answer lies. Do I think the vaccine is

That's a nifty site. Thanks for the link. Eyeballing the graphs, looks like we need maybe an average of 25GW for the 16 hours of low solar output, for 400GWh. If batteries don't increase in price and the grandparent's prices

They mentioned this: > augmented with utility-scale storage that currently runs about $200M/GWh and will be at least 2x cheaper by 2030 So storage is a cost, but seems like a relatively small cost, especially if the stated trends co

Thanks for clarifying. You may be right -- again, I'm far from an expert. The distinction I've seen is essential vs. nonessential. Remembering that I dismissed that banner seems more like non-essential to me. Seems more along the

Good point. I'm certainly not an expert on the law -- I did some quick googling, but not a lot. Session cookies, e.g. are fine. As best I can tell, "remember me" / "remember my email" checkboxes still do requir

It's because of the recent RNC tweet[0] with a list of some of Trump's priorities for the next term, and the firs two listed were a permanent presence on the moon and sending a manned mission to Mars. It did not mention the pandem

Increased car usage may also mean more air pollution and a more sedentary lifestyle. If we shifted from walking (or biking or horseback riding, though seems less likely) then I'd expect heart disease to be much more of an issue. The sh
