I wonder how many of these subscribers use handbrake.
Finding useful performance metrics for evaluation is difficult and assumes somebody knows what is best for the dept/company/division, that the evaluators are well trained, and which metrics show the correct way. There are useful metrics if you are playing Golf, baseball, poker, bridge, chess, but even then individual performance will vary year to year and even the stars have slumps. The Normal Distribution shows 95% of employees are within +3 Std Dev of the mean with only 2.5% excelling and 2.5% needing help in a given year and in the next year everyone will have a different ranking. Performance metrics are mostly a waste of valuable time for both the employee and the management.
My comment was motivated by my desire for us to avoid oversights for the same reason you list. If everyone thinks that batteries are competing with natural gas on the whole, then they are being grossly, grossly misled. CCGTs are by far the most common "gas" out there, and they're getting built today, as we speak, and they are the ones that are the price I quoted.

You're right that wherever, whenever is an overstatement, but I disagree that it's overly sloppy in this context. A revised statement may be "CCGTs can be very flexibly sighted and can ramp up and down relatively quickly"

Stability of renewable cost may not be so solid when hurricanes come by and rip panels off roofs, or polar vortices ice up all your turbines. Even natural gas had pressure lows in the last polar vortex, my mom was asked via emergency alert to turn down her heat so the system pressure could keep up. Most of the heavily-armored nukes powered through, but one of them had ice in the intake and had to clear that out. Everything will see fairly unpredictable variability in the carbon-constrained future. Diversity is probably our safest bet.

I can remember a time not long ago when refraining from frequent coffee purchases definitely helped, but mostly for opportune leisure spending in other instances. That's when I was barely breaking even as a student.

The budgeting habit stayed with me. I do like to buy my coffee out regularly enough but I'm conscious of what I spend.

It's not always about fighting financial difficulties though. I know some very well-off people who wouldn't spend on anything other than instant coffee at home. Choose your vice/luxury, basically.

I think that calculator shows the opposite of what you're saying. There are different brackets depending on your overall income, but all of your capital gains are taxed at that rate. If the gains were truly taxed in a marginal fashion, some would be taxed at 0%, some at 15%, and the rest at 20%.

I can also confirm this with my own taxes. I only had $10k in long term capital gains last year, but the entire amount was taxed at 23.8% by the federal government.
You have to call ahead for "large sums" because banks don't hold that much cash on-site, so you have to wait for the next delivery of cash so they can get it for you. And the definition of "large sum" for your local bank branch is probably smaller than you think.

But while people are waiting for their cash, if they can still use digital banking, then they will probably stop worrying about it before their cash is actually delivered.

Investment banking is certainly metasyntactic here. You could just replace it with chemical engineering or B2B marketing or construction management or something else sufficiently dry and lucrative.

Ultimately the reason that we view some jobs as more fun than others derives to some extent from the natural human tendency to build a sense of identity by pretending our work is more interesting than everyone else's; the caricature of the soulless office worker is intentionally, not unintentionally, dehumanizing, because it's necessary to reinforce the narrator's pride in their own work. People in visible professions inevitably present their professions as being admirable while trying to present themselves as admirable. The age of mass media creates the illusion that whatever is being talked about is in fact more interesting than what isn't being talked about. Which actually makes the world a better place, Fallout or Tide? Which generates more fame for its creators? The only complete solution requires the nomenklatura to relinquish--or be deprived of--their privileged position in the collective unconscious. (Woe on the invisible.)

Not that that's particularly easy. The kids aren't stupid. Everyone knows that being, say, an artist, doesn't just pay off in terms of money, but in the way people interact with you. The people chasing these rewards aren't unpaid; in fact, they go to great lengths to ensure they do get paid, in precisely the way they seek to be. The lionization of indolents makes people seek indolence--and why shouldn't they?

Years ago, I had the occasion to drive across the country with a traveler in my passenger seat. We spent dozens of hours discussing philosophy, law, farm work, and how to determine which cigarettes in an ashtray are still safe to smoke. When we passed through Denver, hundreds of miles from either our origin or destination, he recognized some of his friends walking on the sidewalk of an overpass; we met up and enjoyed chips and soft drugs by a creek under the bridge. My erstwhile friend is still hopping trains and sleeping outside to this day. As they say, "be careful what you wish for--you might just get it".

Yes, this. Plus the people spending $5/day on coffee are potentially also spending $10-40/day on eating out, taking on too much in car payments, spending too much on clothes, spending $100/week at bars, etc. It's not the coffee in isolation that's the problem, it's the sum of your financial decisions that is, and a daily $5 latte is just one not-insignificant factor.

I've always been curious. What do you need to do to be HIPAA compliant, from a technology standpoint? I figured it's similar to PCI compliance, but I'm not sure.

From what I've heard, though, the cost isn't quite zero, it's just that you have to own & implement all the work to be HIPAA compliant. But perhaps it's not that bad?

It's unsettling how contacting the police is not even mentioned. I'm assuming Ireland has laws that make covertly recording someone in their room illegal. The owner shouldn't be delisted from AirBnB - he should be in jail.

There's a Washington state consumer protection law. Some Motel 6 locations in the state broke that law by handing over data to Federal officials without a warrant. The Federal officials broke no law in asking for the data without a warrant. It was the hotels which broke the law.

Maybe you could make an entrapment argument against the Federal officials. IANAL, so I don't know how that works. (I guess it's not entrapment because the Federal officials weren't trying to get Motel 6 to break the law for the purpose of going after Motel 6.)

And btw, since when has the law ever been enforced fairly, really?
Yes, I also have a lane changing model.

What exactly would you like to see in a writeup? And which teaching setting do you have in mind?
One of the main reason is concerns about degradation. Battery capacity and performance degrades as the number of discharge cycles increases. And EV users are particularly sensitive to that degradation (see issues with early Nissan leafs for example). And replacing an EV battery is currently really expensive (often exceeding the entire value of the used vehicle).

It does look like with good battery management, the lifespan can be considerably lengthened however. Particularly, if you cap the max charge to 80% and min charge to 20%. This, plus active cooling is probably how Tesla has managed to achieve such good battery longevity. I wouldn't be surprised if in a few years, EV owners get more comfortable with it.

Another thing to consider is that right now the 'peak' grid usage (when EV discharge would be most useful) usually occurs in the evening, probably when a lot of folks are still using their EV for commuting. So rolling out the infrastructure to do two way charging is probably not worth the cost because utilization might be pretty low. I.E. What % of EV drivers would have enough spare battery capacity to discharge a non-trivial amount right after their commute. Probably not many, at least not until we either see a big increase in EV capacity (which will probably happen as batteries get cheeper).

I know this is well studied and has to do with the poverty mindset, but that doesn't mean it's mathematically rational. Sure, if you live paycheck to paycheck and somehow this week have an extra $5 leftover, you might as well spend it. But if you have $80 left over, after a year of saving you could have a reasonable emergency fund.

Tesla has the ability to orchestrate this, and has an ongoing trial program in Scandinavia. It’s only one way though (commanding the vehicle to charge or not); vehicle battery chemistry is not designed to discharge to the grid like the Powerwall/Powerpack products are.
No, you're correct. Firefox has supported <datalist> since v4, and colour inputs since v29.
The problem is that kids don’t really get catch up time to learn more at their grade level, and switching schools comes at huge cost (costs of applying, costs of transferring schools, arranging new transportation, shifting schedules around, the child losing their existing social networks etc.)

We don’t let drug companies sell their products to everyone the second it’s produced. First you test in mice, then 10 people, then 100, then 1000, then, and only then, can you release it to an entire population (roughly speaking).
You're using a different meaning for 'correct' than what people in finance mean in the context of exchange markets.
Depends on how you architecture it, theoretically spinning on prems or in baremetal or vsphere should be an ansible script with its roles and some docker file regardless.

Just for reference we ""devops"" around 2 thousand VMs and 120 baremetal servers and a little of cloud stuff through same scripts and workflows.

We don't really leverage locked in cloud things because we need the flexibility of on prems.

In my business hardware is essentially a drop in the bucket of our costs.

P.s: I totally think there are legit use cases for cloud, is just another tool you can leverage depending on the situation

Yeah, that's definitely a bit weird. It's similar to when a government entity in the USA suddenly discovered the Diesel cheating just when big foreign car manufacturers had large successes in the US market. Even though it was made to look like it in the news, Volkswagen wasn't the biggest perpetrator [0]. And currently the US government puts major pressure onto the DTAG-Sprint merger and constantly comes up with new requirements, e.g. now they want DTAG to stop buying Huawei products world wide [1].

> If the people who wrote the rules, upon learning of what you are doing, would likely have written the rules differently to make illegal what you are doing, it's against the "spirit" of the rules.

If those people would find it a problem, then just change the rules AGAIN to close said loophole, and go on with your day. I get tired of people talking about the spirit of the law.

Fact of the matter is, most politicians are incompetents and cannot make proper laws (everything is rushed through and hardly read twice).

Make. proper. laws. and stop complaining. Nearly all tax avoidance is the price of having incompetent politicians.

The remainder is the result of smart people who went ahead and understood the tax code well. They're to be applauded -- the pot of gold is waiting at the end of the rainbow for them, just like in any other profession.

one thing to understand would be what incentives are in place. e.g., how is the "free" lunch paid for? does your employer directly employ cooks & pay for the cost of ingredients? Or is the catering outsourced? if it is outsourced, what incentives (if any) does the catering provider have to cook food that will be eaten by staff? it might be the case that catering is provided on some kind of fixed-price basis over a time period, so in the short run there may be incentives to spend as little as possible on ingredients, +/- how this might impact the chances of the arrangement being extended or terminated.

edit:

presumably your employer may offer free lunches as one perk to attract talent, but also to encourage employees not to leave the office and keep talking shop or building relationships with each other, or just having a quick lunch and getting back to the grind, all of which could have value to the business. so it would make sense if the business could align incentives so that the food is just tolerably good enough that most employees want to eat it sufficiently often, but that the cost of providing it (including over-catering and corresponding loss to waste) is low.
It’s not that simple.

I really think the inverse model of teaching is a great one.

The classic model just seems so turned around. Using class time for live teachers to deliver static content seems insane. And then making sure during the time when students have the most questions(at home doing the work) is also the time when they it's the hardest to ask teacher's questions.
