Versailles ticket was so hard to buy, way faster to just have the human at the window do it.

I purchased these for my family on my last trip, and it took a little work; I had to go to the office in the train station, then ask, there was confusion with the Navigo vs the Navigo Easy. In the end, it worked, and the $2 cost of the car

Except for the gun show exclusion and family transfers, yes? There are enough holes in the system that you can;'t reliably ask someone holding a gun to show you the permit they received at sale. All cars must be registered, so failur

Pretty much everybody in the non-music industries saw what happened to music, and they want to avoid it. Music went from something you happily pay $10 each for semi-permanent access to 10-12 songs to a system where you pay $10/mo for

If you are making claims about suppressed media, why not include links to said media or information about them? Some might be interested in the documentary or the speech you mentioned.

Agreed. I would like to see an update. The private colleges have increased their tuition on an inflation adjusted level at a pretty linear rate (See Figure CP-3 on #1). It's the public Four Year institutions that made the big increas

Yeah, it's hard to find that data, as any search is swamped by tuition-focused content. My anecdotal sense is that STEM is significantly more expensive. Here are some factors: 1) Salaries for STEM faculty are higher than non-STEM, due

The federal government doesn't generally pay for education. That's state and local dollars, mostly. The states do pay for education, but during and after the 08 recession (and generally during the 70s-90s too), they have cut fund

I think Adobe's primary market focus is people who need it for their work. Assume that you're paying a creative person $60-80k+ per year, before benefits; how is $500/yr for their most important tool not a no-brainer? There&

Right, okay. I still think this is a bit of straw man. Professors don't generally claim to be an experts in local community access, so criticizing them for not being good at it doesn't help. Their focus is necessarily on publis

Agreed. I also didn't see any useful connection as to how the information that the Real Estate Acquisition Specialists (REAS) have would actually generate more understanding of food access between different communities. Yes, the REAS

Forcing each question to be asked fresh also eliminates out-of-date replies. I often run into answers on forum archives that no longer work because the fast-moving software they are regarding has changed.

I think this is the flip-side. They want to support remote wipe, which means they can pull access.

We did break 50MW as of about 3pm; the grid still has 58MW of total capacity, so the state should be okay, with a forecasted peak of 52MW. I underestimated the heat in northern California extending past the initial wave.

Per-capita will go up, but mostly in the overnight hours, where there is lots of extra capacity. EVs might actually help the grid by reducing the overnight drop, and allowing the state to run more cheap baseline load.

California is also using less. LED lighting, more efficient HVAC systems, individual and corporate conservation, it's all helping to reduce the amount of power we need per person.

We'll see. The day-ahead estimates have been high all week, and the temperature is dropping tomorrow. I put it about a 50/50 chance that we break 50GW tomorrow.

And even the 2020 blackouts were pretty mild. Affecting only a small percentage of californians, and for about an hour, and about 10 minutes on the two recorded occasions in 2020.

Because the vast majority of those cars will charge at night, when the grid has tons of capacity. No one is suggesting that those cars will charge during the 4pm-9pm window. It's more expensive to do so, and there's little benef

Part of the problem is silent deliverability issues. You can send to someone @gmail.com that you've never messaged before and it won't get rejected. It will probably end up in their Junk folder. You don't know it, they don

The general rule of thumb for my home server is that messages to people I've contacted before, or to addressees that were in a thread that I'm also part of get delivered reliably. Messages to new people I've never emailed be
