   Exposure is good, but success in school requires you to be successful in these subjects as well. I have had similar thoughts recently as OP thinking about what I want for my young kids and what my experiences in school were. Being _really_

   Starting with the axiom that what I am experiencing is actually representative of reality to begin with.

   > it might be 1mm in one image, or 1cm in another, or 1m or 1km. Hmm, how does depth affect this? The further away something is in a picture, the more width the pixel represents since it's angular right?

   Hmm, now this is making me think, does the Higgs field act like an additional degree of freedom for energy to be dumped into? I mean like a photon is massless, so any amount of energy, it will already be going the speed of light so the only

   This was during the depression, I kinda doubt this would have survived through WW2.

   Also methane has a higher proportion of hydrogen than other fuels and so releases less CO2 and more water when burned.

   If you think about it, any software update can make something bad happen. Maybe we just shouldn't be running bare-metal installs for critical infra in the first place. Just run a hypervisor taking snapshots daily or before updates and

   Every now and then I will have a night where my brain feels "wired" and I can't sleep and just have thoughts racing through my head. It feels like a don't sleep or barely sleep and yet hours go by pretty fast so I assume

    Generally agree. I know of at least two protocols using protobuf payloads over raw UDP and seems pretty good that way (dnstap and some networking asic's in-band telemetry). My biggest gripe was protobuf v3 changing things like not incl

    There is no false dichotomy because we absolutely should be reducing our emissions as much as possible and I never said otherwise, it's just that it probably won't be enough to achieve any significant cooling effect in a reasonabl

    I think it's more like, you have a viral infection and it's causing a high fever, and that fever is about to kill you. Should the doctor try and bring the fever down or go and research a cure for the virus? Sometimes you have to t

    I don't mean to be rude, but are you aware that CO2 emissions continue to _increase_ year after year? That despite the world's apparent effort, we have actually made _no_ progress in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions globally?

    This would take decades at least, we need something else in our back pocket in case millions start to die from heat exhaustion. Even if somehow we stop all CO2 emissions today, the earth will continue to warm for like a couple more centurie

    This is why we should study it...

    Don't we collaborate on things like LHC, ITER, international space-station etc?

    This is why I think we should be seriously considering atmospheric aerosol injection already. Not sure why there aren't more large government funded studies of this.

    Also annoying, not labeling your inputs right so auto-fill doesn't work.

    > PV might go under $20/MWh at the end of the decade It's never clear to me when these numbers are cited, clearly you must be talking about PV + battery right? Otherwise it would not be a fair comparison.

    I had wondered about that... I am actually contemplating installing my own solar from a kit, which costs about half as much.

    For roof top solar? Can you give an example of some numbers? Around here in NorCal, would cost ~20k for a system, and would save maybe $2400 a year, so would be more like 8.3 years.

    Heat pumps look great and definitely planning on getting one (or many) when my hvac system needs replacing, as well as a heat pump water heater. In NorCal I think they are a no-brainer since it doesn't get that cold to begin with, thou

    I was shocked when it was announced even though there were rumors of it for years. To me it just doesn't look like an apple product... I just never thought they would ship an actual VR headset like this, I figured they would be going t

    Is it possible to use redshift of photons from the sun? Say if you know the hydrogen transition line frequency, then measure very precisely the observed frequency from solar photons, you could calculate the redshift. I suppose this would re
