Texas is pretty far south. If you use https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/pvwatts.php there is about a 9% increase in total output over the year for optimal tilt(27 vs 0) but then you also need to space modules. There is hourly data i

This seems much easier to clean? A gigantic flat slab is pretty easy to automate something vs disconnected racks.

IMO this reeks of data-driven myopia. Slow bleeds to goodwill are incredibly difficult to properly capture into a model. Anything that isn't measured - or poorly measured - is liable to be traded off for what is measured.

FWIW Tom's of Maine Naturally Waxed Antiplaque Flat Dental Floss works well for me. Pretty thick though.

Interesting, just went to the channel to look and the comments are full of people promoting a scam amazon crypto: https://amazonwt.com/ Interesting to see the scams play out in real time. To be clear it looks like bots on h

Seems like there is a lot of higher margin opportunity than residential available in business/gov. I see they have a business at 500/mo. Wonder what the breakdown is. Judging from their land coverage they are still a bit off doing

Do people find this uncomfortable? I usually leave it at 78 during the day, 74 at night. I will sometimes turn it down if I'm doing something physical outside on a hot day and I want to come back to somewhere cool. Not trying to save m

History has proven that making people feel bad about themselves is a very effective marketing tactic. Algorithms shove skinny, tan and pretty in our faces while advertising things to make us skinny, tan and pretty. Unconstrained by morals w

As a counterpoint there also used to be jobs and careers in other places that have largely been centralized into bigger metropolitan areas I do agree somewhat though. Be interesting to see how remote work shakes out in the long run. I think

This is really interesting. I've had similar questions? For vision I'm an "aphant" but I think also for touch/smell/hearing? I could never replay a song in my head. At best I could repeat a few catchy lyrics. C

I get very geometric/fractal visualizations. Like the best music visualizer. A frame rate of infinity. Very mandlebrot/julia. But nothing "real". On LSD at least. My dreams I think I can visualize? It's sort of hard

Can people imagine this? To solve these I develop a set of rules about the relationship between sides. Like if there is an X on one side then there must be a T adjacent to it and so on. Then I try to eliminate as many answers as possible an

I don't daydream but I "self-narrate" - probably to a fault. Like I'm not seeing anything. I'm just sort of writing a novel where I'm the main character if that makes sense? It's similar to how I remember

I have aphantasia. Curious given the audience, how others feel about math? I've done well when I applied myself but definitely not any kind of genius (D- was my first calc 1 grade). One interesting thing I noticed is when I actually go

I think the bigger issue is what % of content is being filtered through a recommendation algorithm that has been trained on probably very similar metrics. Even if there are 6-20-100 companies if they are all using similar metrics, ad clicks

Seems like there has been pretty heavy asset inflation across the board for the past ~decade and investors are desperate for returns. I mean it seems to make sense, the ultra cheap money isn't really available to most people. Most peop

I moved to Vegas and am similarly interested to how it shakes out. Not super familiar with the local politics but they seem very amenable to building. There are a huge amount of SFH and midrise apartments going up all over. I think the Casi

Civic gets 36 combined, Corolla is 33 combined, Rav4/CRV are both 30 combined. A Prius is 54 combined. Not sure where you are hearing about 70 mpg.

Cars fall under cost based adjustments. This is the most recent (AFAIK) document the BLS has published: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/quality-adjustment/new-vehicles.pdf It's not entirely an unfair point in the sen

Yup. Welcome to the wild wild west of hedonic adjustment. Things like side impact airbags and rear view cameras basically give the BLS unlimited power to drive down inflation.
