How do you know the intent of congress? Are you going to ask them about every ambiguity in a law? Why shouldn't experts in the relevant areas make their best determination? Do you have examples you're concerned about where Chevron

I’m not even sure what I meant. More sleep needed. Edit: While coasting might be more efficient than braking, regen braking is probably more efficient than using brakes. (Which might explain the overall efficiency improvement when using o

Fair point--maybe the throughput is higher for self checkout. I still like not having to do the work myself tho.

If might be more efficient to coast, but I bet regen braking is less efficient than using your brakes.

How would this be worse? You can press a single pedal instead of switching between 2 pedals. Cruise control is still available in one pedal mode if you want to give your "gas foot" a... break.

Why do you like it better than having a cashier ring you up? Me: I don't have to scan, check I've scanned everything, enter the number of bags, put groceries in those bags. Instead I put my stuff on the belt, I pay and walk out w

It's not true. Carbon emissions are record high and growing. I think I read that carbon emissions in the US declined somewhat this year. I also read (small sliver of hope) that we have avoided (so far) the worst-case climate scenario

But what's the main use of oil? Energy, right?

All the more reason to not need oil anymore.

I agree "revolving door" is also a huge problem.

The problem is called regulatory capture. And it’s by our campaign finance system. And that’s a result of unhindered capital accumulation by a minority.

80s graphic design was wild (neon, random geometric shapes, air brush effect, grid lines) Wonder if it will make a comeback.

What’s happening in Gaza right now? Who is dropping the bombs? Whose army is in Gaza? What is also happening in the West Bank? What about the border in Lebanon. True there was a terroristic raid into Israel in which 1200 people lost their l

Israel has repeatedly blocked the 2 state solution. Even Rabin’s stance was “the Palestinians should have something but something less than full statehood” Israel encouraged Hamas by allowing Qatari support in to Gaza with the intent of kee

Maybe helpful to split into 2 parts: code functionality = asset, code maintenance & debugging = liability. So you must balance the 2. Writing less code minimizes the liability side. Combined with a "YAGNI" stance, you can mini

This is a false all-or-nothing take. It's not an impossible standard to attempt to minimize civilian casualties. It's a crime of war not to. Israel is incautiously bombing all over Gaza including refugee camps. They are destro
