What does “There’s no reason to think…” mean in this argument? What burden of proof does this line of reasoning impose? We are supposed to provide the absence of an effect every time a modulation scheme changes, or otherwise must assume jus

Replace “cost” with “cost share” I think would help. But since there’s a hard limit on the number of passengers, it’s appropriate to make the division showing a best case scenario of gallons per passenger-mile, or in the terms of Bitcoin, k

What’s the tool to view this report in an acceptable format? I’m actually interested to read and share it. I’m not sure about this site, but it seems to be rendering the research report in some strange form hyper-optimized for advertising?

Interesting, and thank you for the clarification. I think it’s probably more of a spectrum and not a binary thing, and so you can have layers of physiological and psychological impediments, and one could also feed the other.

By the way, if you want something that works, that you can buy without a prescription, I cannot recommend “BronkAid” aka ephedrine sulfate 25mg highly enough. It’s sold “behind the counter” in the US at major pharmacy chains, which means yo

We are talking about two different things. I’m talking about a decentralized algorithm which runs on your own machine and can reach a conclusion about a transaction being invalid even though it may have a valid signature. For example, imagi

The only way to apply the court’s judgement (in the case of ETH) is to hark fork, because there is no governance contract in place. A blockchain can in theory support such things, which would allow a majority vote to approve the court’s jud

They could just burn it - it makes everyone else’s ETH more valuable. Or move it through decentralized tumblers. Which is why more and more these tokens are becoming non-fungible as addresses are blacklisted. Non-fungible is another way of

Seriously. That was really really hard to read. So basically $600mm in a hot wallet and no one even watching it. Just wow. They didn’t even hack the smart contract, they just compromised 4 systems holding the private keys, and there was an

The nuke protests just managed to line Russia’s pockets with German treasure and lead to more coal deaths, so perhaps it’s an apt comparison, but not the one you’re looking for.

That’s great, but the question is about the second order effects. Have you taken them fully into account when you declare that these regulations are what you want? Or do you want the first order effects only (who wouldn’t?!) and just stop y

Super impressive, that’s a lot of installed energy capacity for < $5k! Is the $5.66 / 18.85kWh = $0.30 per kWh factoring in how much was your own supply? $0.30 is about what I pay in MA for Generation plus Supply plus Taxes & Fe

You would need about 6kW of solar to fully cover that usage right? So about $15k-$20k over 20 years financed at 0% would be about $2-$2.75 a day. If we could get a 6kW solar plus a 40kWh battery all packaged and installed with a 20 year lif

Sounds totally reasonable to me. I don’t understand the theory of trying to strangle household energy usage. Increasing household energy use is not the problem, it’s actually the solution to a huge productivity and standard of living increa

You’re only half right. Public school funding has not been cut over and over. We spend more and more to achieve less and less, while the curriculum is destroyed, and teaching methods degrade. The goal has shifted to equality of outcomes, no

The real benefits to society are absolutely tremendous. Extrapolate just a few more years of this trajectory and any protest or political candidate that isn’t endorsed by the ruling class will be impossible to fund or donate to. You can see

Higher fuel and energy costs are some of the worst kind of regressive taxes, because it’s a tax you can’t even avoid. Energy is the fundamental underpinning of modern society. Today a large part of that energy comes from oil, but not really
