It seems that interest rate x P/E is a ~constant. Interest rates are near historical lows and have been falling. Therefore P/Es are high. Have to check if this relationship holds through the ages.

We could use day time electricity to generate fuels to burn at night. As long as it’s net-zero wrt to CO2 emissions, it will be fine.

What are some of the typical scenarios you have seen? Any unusual sources? How do you handle custom sources or destinations?

I once had an idea about a sci-fi movie plot where an ancient Earth civilization faced with global warming decides to sequester CO2 using bio matter and sink it to the ocean floor. They are too late and get whipped out but the sunk bio ma

I think a sense of curiosity is a pre-requisite or perhaps co-emergent with technological advancement. They also need to be advanced enough to be send an interstellar probe or ship to visit other disntant planets.

The sad part is that most developers will be using these faster machines and to them their software will seem super snappy. But the poor folks with non-state of the art machines will experience much slower experiences. It creates a dynamic

Google Maps path simplification aimed to minimize error between original and simplified paths. It’d prioritize dropping points that had the smallest impact on error.

I wish airlines would introduce flights that require everyone to test negative before boarding. It could even be a low frequency special flight in their schedule instead of every flight in the route.

Is it possible to assist the plane during its take off phase? Maybe with a electric wire that supplies energy and detaches. I know it’s messy. Or maybe using something like balloon to gain altitude and then engines to cruise? Or a specia

The problem is that train routes are fixed So it only makes sense to connect regions with high populations. Aircraft can go anywhere, including places with small populations.

Seconds before the final explosion, you can see some flashes in the base of the smoke, like firecrackers going off. Anyone knows what these are?

As demand for oil falls, it will get cheaper, making it more attractive and alternative energy less competitive. It’s a weird dynamic. We literally need to run out of the stuff or pass laws that make it much more expensive (by taking into a

I make a point of shopping at our local bookstores, even though they are not always the convenient option, just to help keep them around. I do wish bookstores focused more on their discovery and curation. For example, I’d probably buy a lo

What was the most technically challenging part of the project for you? And do you do any tricks for handling failures during very large downloads or uploads (Eg ranges)

Yes I wish there was a button to reset or stir the pot a bit. Or maybe pay more attention to your more recent playlists. Or discount listens to songs that were recommended to you (to break the feedback loop).

Perl used to have one of the most extensive module libraries. One of the things I miss about Perl was it’s more sensible module namespace convention (Eg Net::... for networking related) vs the more hip but confusing and hard to discover na
