Is this really that important though? I haven't numbers that indicate that farming machinery is such a big share of the oil consumption.

My thoughts on these things is, if we can cut 90% of gasoline/diesel use with BEVs and PHEVs, then the last 10% could feasibly be fueld by renewable hydrocarbons. The development after that is up to the markets.. probably pure BEV will be preferred over time as batteries get better and we develop new solutions.

Why would you need three to five packs? A pack can generally charge as fast as it can discharge.. you should only need two if you have a fast charging system.

The problem is if the machines is only used part of the year. For the cost of a battery pack to make sense, it should be used as much as possible. If it's idle for large parts of the year and it can't be used for anything else, it'll be hard to justify the cost. Maybe they can double as grid storage?
Even if it was, it would beg the question of probability of them (1) installing and using the beta and (2) somehow selecting an obscure font and (3) the font ends up becoming the default font years later.
Harvesting absolutely matters about time. 1-2 days can make a difference and many farms don't actually own the combines, there are companies (often families) that have fleets of combines and go from farm to farm during harvest season harvesting from sun up til sun down and moving on to the next client as quickly as possible not unlike the companies that do the same with bee hives.

Combines are EXPENSIVE, you can easily drop 600k USD on ONE combine and a class 9 (over 500 hp, basically the biggest) combine with a skilled operator will harvest 10-15 acres an hour depending on the crop, quality of the field, soil moisture etc. With over 900 million acres of active farmland in the U.S. alone...

Democracy is more palatable these days because the power it yields to the people can be reclaimed easier than ever through modern technology. Keep the wrong ideas contained through control of media channels, censorship, etc. and you can marginalize the true freedom their vote supposedly provides.

This question is utterly irrelevant to my point. I'm not saying that the fetus is part of the woman, I'm saying that the woman has the right to control what happens to her body - including removing a fetus before it comes to term - if she chooses to do so.

Saying otherwise is equivalent to saying that under certain circumstances it's okay to force someone to keep another being alive for 9 months with continuous blood transfusions while exposing themselves to many dangerous, and potentially fatal, side effects.

I was thinking about this while driving Wednesday. I'm in a strength sport and have lots of friends in strength sports and a recent conversation with someone made me think "hmmm, we need to figure out the AAS for crops, what's the test-e dbol equivalent".

I think the problem is though, plants are pretty damn finicky and have relatively narrow conditions that will result in proper growth and fruit/vegetable production. The tiniest soil imbalance, too much sun, too little sun, too much water, too little water and blah.

The more important task at hand right now though is proper land management, we're quickly headed for another dust bowl, we are heavily relying on groundwater and depleting groundwater sources here in the U.S. (and especially in countries like India) and farmers are killing themselves at record rates.

We're about to be up shit-creek with a hole in our canoe in the next decade or two.
This would be terrible. I can just about get by with my Google Home now that I know the subset of commands it'll reply to coherently, but I can't imagine the frustration of it being my only option for actually getting something done.

Also, I know this is a tedious point, but if all the call center employees lose their jobs we'll have a mini crisis on our hands.

Education is a zero sum game for the applicants. But it's not a zero sum game in total. The university and society as a whole gain a greater benefit from the student with the higher potential getting the place. All other things being equal the candidate who is smartest when they apply will maximize the resultant graduate.

You could formalize it as y=mx+c where C is the candidates current education level, m is the candidate's innate ability to learn and x is the quality of the course, and y is the final quality of the candidate after getting the degree.

All other things are not equal though, and making a judgement only about the C of each candidate does not maximize y. SATs measure C, affirmative action does a really crappy job of trying to estimate m.
The average US programmer is closing in on six figures. Total compensation, it's already over that line.

You can make six figures just doing remote Magento developer work these days. Just go scour the job sites, there are a ton of six figure remote jobs these days. $150k is a bit high, however it's not dramatically so.

>not to mention insanely good PR for Tesla.

Yeah, good PR as a deflection of his Donald Trump routine the past couple days of attacking journalists who have criticized Tesla on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/lopezlinette/status/1014983757252780033

Business Insider has formally denied these allegations, but what does it matter in this day age of social media? The author is getting attacked by Tesla fans, death threats, misogynistic comments. It's off the rails. I don't know how people root for this guy, but here we are.
> I am pointing out an inefficiency, a suboptimal economic resolution of the kind a more competitive market dynamic would tend to minimise. The primary reason intermediaries pay extra for exclusivity is exclusivity, cutting out their competition. This doesn't generally happen in markets with enough buyers and sellers.

I am pointing out that your claim is fundamentally contradictory. You assert that universal access would not "defund", but your universal access idea is predicated on a free market driving down the cost of access across the board. It realistically cannot be both. You can't have Netflix bundle Amazon content and vice versa and not expect a drop in total revenue. Sure, you'd expect some additional subscribers, but you'd also expect current dual-subscribers to cancel one of their subscriptions[1], and you'd also expect Netflix and Amazon to be reduced to competing primarily on price, driving revenue down. Exclusives drive an increase in funding because they encourage the market to pay for more than one option.

> If there were only two or three retailers in a market, they'd be cutting exclusivity deals with wholesalers or manufacturers of goods.

It happens all the time. Crate and Barrel sells exclusive furniture designs. So does every other furniture store. It's not hurting the market and in fact increases choice because most retailers actively pursue the creation of new exclusives.

[1] There aren't a lot of people paying for HBO Go and HBO Now. Once you've got access to the content, you don't pay for it in other ways as well.

This is a problem is too small group in a survival situation. A viable group should have the size of a village at least - over 100 people of some diversity.

Otherwise it is very fragile.

Obviously enough resources to start with.
We may be headed to a possible future in which technology makes it possible to decouple "romantic" impulses from the reproductive drive. Surrogacy at scale, artificial wombs, even gamete design and editing are all possible within this generation's lifetime. Concomitant relaxations in regulations regarding sexual work and the commodification of sexual satisfaction would be one possible outcome. The philosophic quandary then shifts from sex to the nature of love. Is it simply another innate need with primal place atop the human hierarchy? Or an evolution-tuned biochemical survival mechanism that can itself be synthesized akin to the "pregnancy substitutes" in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World?

Again, back to Plato (as all inquiries lead), but this time consider The Republic and its ideal family-state. Plato envisioned a community of parents, and a dissolution of the edicts of traditional marriage. In which the entire village parented each child as if they were their own. And privileges associated with hereditary and parentage begin to disappear in deference to the needs of the state.

Another modern evolution in traditional practice is the use of Tantric and Orgasmic Meditation. Hindu philosophy usually places desire beyond prosperity, knowledge, duty and spiritual perfection. But it is fairly easy to see how cults wholly consecrated to Venus may arise.

The only thing, I think, that might change this, would be if the UK against all odds manages to make Brexit successful. I personally don't think there's any chance of that, but if that were to happen, anti-EU sentiments elsewhere in Europe might grow. I think the reverse is more likely: That Brexit will serve to firm up EU support even more once the full effects become clear... I live in the UK, so I hope I'm wrong and that things will work out ok...
"no" to what ?

IMO nostromo is right in all points and probably even agrees with you.

IMO expensive vertical farming in cities works for expensive vegetables and spices but not for crops.

IMO indoor farming is the future of food production because it is efficient (perfect indoor climate, water, automation, less pests and pesticides, less herbs and herbicides) and allows genetic engineering of food producing plants or microbes without risk of contamination of or by the environment.
The group of teenagers escaped from their supervisor into the cave without his permission. The supervisor went to look for them, they all got trapped there by the flood. Someone found their shoes in front of cave entrance.
You're using one (18-wheeler) truck for all of the different kinds of food for the last mile in terms of distribution center-to-supermarket, but one (pickup) truck each for the different sources for the farm-to-farmer's market. Not to mention that the distribution center is likely closer than the farms.
I don't recommend setting up an email server. A quick Google will yield lots of stories on why this is a very bad idea. Although I have set up dozens of corporate email servers in the past, I didn't find the idea practical for myself.

My solution is to use a domain registrar who allows catch-all email address and forward emails to a GMail account. I set up MailGun with DKIM and SPIF records as required for my domain to send emails using SMTP. Once setup, I no longer need to do any routine sysadmin.

If you only need a single domain with lots of addresses, then Google Office might be an even simpler option.

I thought it was public information because there was also a "We reached X% of the daily gold goal!" banner, but I can't find a direct answer anywhere. It seems they never mentioned what that goal actually is.

Here[1] is an attempt at an approximation in 2014, but I doubt it's accurate since it extrapolates the number of servers they run from 2012, how much it costs to run them, and doesn't consider (usually the biggest cost) employee wages and other things like rent.

Cynics will say this is a PR move, but I don't think that's how Musk operates. I think he sees a problem, thinks it's being solved inefficiently, has ideas he considers better, and wants to act quickly. It's the foundation of all his companies. It's a bit of a renegade/cowboy mentality, and some caution is warranted, but he thinks outside the box and acts on it more than most people.

That was my first thought too. This is easily something that could backfire on Tesla/Boring if Thai officials take them up on their offer. It's already a very precarious situation and it may end up in tragedy despite any efforts from Musk or anyone. Sure, it's positive PR if things go well, but it's just as terrible if they don't.
If you have an actual example of this happening, send a support email to Apple. They generally take this kind of thing fairly seriously (caveat: provided that the app has a large enough audience). It won't help you immediately, but they may better scrutinize later updates from this developer. And they certainly will take categorical action if they find enough bad actors doing something to screw up the App Store as an environment.

They have a couple more compact options, one with small thumbnails and one with none. Just hit one of the view buttons in the upper left and it stays that way until you change it (at least if you're logged in, otherwise I don't know).

But something I don't like is that clicking headlines takes you to the discussion, you need to click a tiny link to get the actual article. This is still true when you're already in the discussion, which makes no sense.

And for some reason they don't display subreddits' descriptive sidebar text, which sometimes has convenient links.

Luckily, so far they'd rather have people viewing the old design than leaving the site, and have a way to opt out, which after a week or so I did. The old site's not as pretty, but I find it more readable and usable, and I haven't found any tempting features in the new design.
My wife recently gave birth to our first child. Normal delivery - 2 nights in a hospital. Then we had to go back again for jaundice - nothing serious - but added another 2 nights in a hospital room. All said and done my insurance was billed $64,000 for what is considered a normal uncomplicated birth. That is insane to me. If you go over the bill carefully, instantly 50% of that disappears because I've "saved" by being with my insurance provider.

What if I had no insurance? Would I get billed that insane number and have to spend hours whittling it down?

My dad was commenting on how the drug he takes regularly in his home country (outside the US) is 1/10th the price of what it costs here.

The health insurance system is broken in USA (who knew?). Everything is artificially over-inflated because it all gets "negotiated" down in the end. This creates a lot of room to maximize your net revenue when you set prices arbitrarily high.
I was thinking about building a blockchain-backed, distributed forum like reddit alot lately. I haven't started anything yet, but if somebody reads this and is interested in building anything alike, or needs an helping hand, PM me.
Even if we assume that the assistance would be so good that a customers question/needs could be satisfied with it, there still comes the whole job of actually doing actions in various tools (CRM, Logistics, Refunds, writing emails to supervisors etc.).

> If you want to attack CO2 costs, the primary costs are in the last mile.

If you want to attack CO2 costs, 90% of lamb's CO2 production occurs on the farm. Only 10% is from processing, distribution, retail, cooking, and waste disposal [1].

Let's charitably assume 1/3 of the post-farm CO2 emissions are from distribution and half of those could be saved by producing closer to the point of consumption.

So farm production only needs to be 1.8% (=(10/3/2)/90) more efficient in NZ for it to be net beneficial.

Presumably NZ is particularly efficient for lamb, otherwise it wouldn't be such a major export.
