Not really. As costs go up, you can mitigate by pushing more of your data out to slower mediums, like hdd.

There should be results. Tech giants are too big to fail, as are the big banks and insurers. If we break up the banks and insurers by product offerings, then why not break up big tech? Each company gets split into 3 smaller firms, each with

As long as merchants use dark ui patterns, a misleading or anti-merchant response from consumers is justified. I for one am appalled that visa is making merchant fraud easier, making payments less controlled by cardholders.

If it is close enough for a real bank in USD, it's probably okay for an exchange in bitcoins, right? If the bank/exchange maintains a 5% reserve, every unit of currency can produce a multiplier/velocity of 20. Bank loans subs

There is. You build a network of analog cables. Use a sound board to 'switch' the channels. This leads to headphones on 3.5mm jacks, and one or more zones of stereos connected by RCA. This 'network' is as solid in 2022 a

This makes me want to make a startup which is a customer service arm for google. It runs a 2-sided marketplace to pay real google employees who can help with users who need their accounts unlocked/etc. It would have different categorie

That market needs to be guided away from fossil fuels. How would such a market cover solar and wind when they dont make enough? Batteries? Huge hydro storage? That sounds more expensive than nuclear.

by winkeltripel 5y ago
My argument for nuclear: the alternative low-carbon base load is grid-scale lithium ion batteries. That tech is ,(AFAIK) 10 years out from reaching both the scale and price point needed. Also note that solar and wind need enormous amounts o

I don't understand your point. In ranking presidential candidates, most left-or-center-leaning voters would rank any and every Democrat above any and every Republican, with Trump as their very last choice. So the presence or not of a

There are a couple of things to consider. The solar and wind need to be overprovisioned, to feed the grid scale batteries to provide baseload. Those batteries are currently not cost effective, which is why there are very few such batteries

Yeah. In solar and wind lots of deaths from falling off roofs or windmills.

by winkeltripel 5y ago
Because the land needed for equivalent solar and wind would be massive. There would be no room for NIMBY. Imagine someone you love would lose their home so that a windmill could be constructed. Every city park would need to have a huge wind

The company which owns the scooter is responsible for the location of the scooter. They choose to let users leave scooters in shitty locations. They invite vigilant responses from other sidewalk users.

I use https://terrain.party to source heightmaps as image files, and perform any manipulation of the heightmap in normal image-editing software. It's a lot less funky if you already have the image-editing skill.
