Heat Pumps can run in very cold temperatures, but it's just not worth it, economically, because their efficiency drops and gas becomes a cheaper option.

You need way to power to drive the heat pump than you do to run the blower. But I agree, it's stupid to act like a natural gas furnace is a good choice for long-term power outages.

You didn't include air conditioning, vacuum, power washer, power tools, etc. It's not that you'd be running all these things at once (although AC run a lot), but it's pretty crazy that you could even come close to trippi

I run my washer and dryer on a single 15 amp circuit. Heat pump dryers are very efficient.

Are you really thinking about the hardware when thinking about the GPU? For instance, if you use pytorch to write a NN, don't you kind of expect it to execute on the GPU without needing to get into the gritty details of it?

I don’t even think this about over hiring. That was certainly part of it in the beginning, but why wouldn’t you fire people now? The tech labor market is very soft. You could rehire people a few months down the line for similar roles at a f

Population size is correlated with a million other things, so considering population alone isn’t that helpful unless you have a specific way to tie it to causally to fertility. In the article, for instance, they say pollution is a contribut

I think the GP is referring to documents obtained as part of the discovery process. Things like internal company emails, private texts, etc.

I don't understand the data in the first link. What is "Percentage of Accidents for Small Vehicles" and "Percentage of Accidents for Large Vehicles"? They didn't define how they compute this.

People in cities need a small car, which is different than wanting a small car. I definitely had a small car in NYC out of necessity, but still wished I could bring my daughter's crib to my parents' place on the weekend (obvious

.NET is ok, but the classes you make serializable generally aren't how you'd write a normal class, which is what I mean by "ergonomic." As far as I know, you need your fields to be public for both reads and writes, and y

Not sure I agree. Citizens have a right to see the public information posted by their elected officials. But that doesn't mean the elected officials have to provide a billboard for all of their constituents. Let's say an elected o

I don't think it's a question of "official" vs. "personal" accounts. It's like if you use a personal email at work, you're still subject to regulatory information withholding guidelines. Using a perso

Almost no one outside of NYC and Boston want such a small car. Small cars aren’t even really a safe option given how big the other cars are.

Is the market acting like infinite growth is baked in, or is inflation simply out of control? And I’m not talking about CPI over the last three years. Stocks have been insane over the last decade. Real estate has been insane over the last d

Kotlin is the only statically typed language that has the same ergonomics as Go (that I know of), and even then you need an external dependency.

Brand is the raison d'être of luxury good companies. No one wants to spend $10k on a random leather bag. On the other hand, people will use whichever digital service offers the best experience. E.g. people use Google because it produce
