This is absolutely the case. I don't have great insight into their capacity but we're mostly using `canadacentral1`

Sure, but typically desalination plants are located in a single physical place, so a discharge pipe dumping brine 24x7 is bad for all of the things around it, as the local concentration is extremely high.

I mean, the alternative is a whole bunch of BS dealing with funding, global compliance and sales, public markets, etc. It's more fun to just build the fun bits, get acquired, walk away with a lot of money, and start over again doing th

I'm pretty price insensitive myself. That said, I have an M1 air, and if someone gave me a brand-new air today, I wouldn't switch, because the M1 feels as good as new, and the hassle of switching machines simply isn't worth i

For anyone else for whom the context clues were not enough, 1 lakh NR = 100,000INR > The apple branding and the sleek look makes them treat it much more carefully. This is a really interesting insight! Never would have thought of that.

Just yesterday I asked my advisor about exposure to these IPOs. I don't mind having a small bit of exposure to them, I just don't want the outsized share they seem to be trying to take for everyone.

Have you noticed that some % of devs are totally sold on AI, and others less so? I use it all the time, and I'd say my use is declining now after a fair bit of disillusionment. It's not hard to imagine a world in which: * Companie

So they're not just racing to gain dominance in AI, they're also racing to IPO before the music stops? IPOing and getting a bunch of cash, even if your stock subsequently suffers in the crash, is a lot better than being unable to

this is one of those "if you see something, no you didn't" times. It seems to me like the fault lies more with the reporter.

Yardwork and cleaning can easily take up hours per week. That's why we outsource it. When I was a kid, it felt like all my dad ever did on the weekend was yardwork, fix cars, and drive me to sports practice.

Ferrari's big cars have historically been poor sellers they force buyers into purchasing in order to move up the list on their desirable cars. I can't imagine an EV being better in that regard.

Same- I slowly stopped reading Risks even though I am still a subscriber (as far as I know). What's weird was, back then, I thought about geography on the internet even LESS than I do now. It's strange now to realize PGN worked at

I'm moderately horrified every time claude runs the same broken, YOLO SWAG git commands from stackoverflow, gets errors, tries a few more things, then finally figures out how to commit and push correctly.

Tangential: I miss Nate and Maria Konnikova's Risky Business podcast. It only lasted a year (or two?). I expected it would be resurrected outside the Pushkin network, but hasn't happened yet. What I _don't_ miss is listening

Plus it seems unlikely that the telematics module is even really related to the display screen stuff, let alone being configured to use alternate network connections to transmit data.

Side rant: "GMail lets you write filters against virtually anything" GMail inexplicably doesn't let you filter against almost anything in the headers, except the few fields they hand-pick. Which is unfortunate because virtual

Huh. It's the exact opposite of what I'd look for in a roadtrip waypoint. Gas line. Nightmare parking lot to get in and out of. Long walk to the store. Long walk to find anything. Slow checkout. I guess narrowing it to "cheap

I'm a bit perplexed on this one-- Yes, we refine our own blend of gasoline, but it's based on market oil -- nothing about the war we started with Iran impacts our domestic refining capability. Also, oil takes longer to get from Ir

IIRC my NB (2002) Miata had a load capacity of 340lbs. I pretty much exceeded it any time I had a passenger, let alone anything in the trunk!

I'm not well-versed in "cost disease", but yes, standards go up. Cars have to have airbags and backup cameras and infernal electronic nannies. So an (alleged) increase in safety has been mandated, and the costs are obligatory

Holy crap the scrolling behavior on this site is the worst I've seen. It hijacks my browser (Chrome)+OS X trackpad scrolling speed and inertia in a horrible way.
