Thanks for this, I had never heard of qanats or wind towers. I'm imagining a giant modern qanat running underneath a city or a large dense neighborhood and each structure reaching down into it to feed a ground-source heatpump in the co

Only if their energy cost never increases and the figure is resistant to inflation - 500k in 1999 is now equal to $942,584.03. There's also something to be said for the carbon emissions and the fact that we can point to frozen water be

I'm imagining roads where cars charge at stoplights and the owner gets charged for the service at the end of the month. Same for parking lots.

It isn't meta's fault the system is set up to incentivize this behavior, and it isn't wrong of them to do what is in their best interest. Now that we've discovered the loophole just legislate it closed. 1. make the loser

It's always been interesting to me that psychiatrists and psychologists just have to sort of trust the story they're being told. Recently CVS and other pharmacies have started denying prescriptions from some telehealth based psych

If you're anything like me then you think a lot while you code, like inner monologue thinking, and that's what the interviewer is testing for.
