>Most of all, the renweables are replacing nuclear.

They aren't. We agreed that wind/solar is not capable of serving as the base power generation of a modern economy. Lack of city-scale battery technology, and the variability of solar and wind precludes this use case.

So what Germany did was remove a non-CO2 emitting power source and replaced it with a mix of solar/wind AND CO2-emitting power generation (via existing coal plants, new gas plants, and importation of coal-based power when they need it).

If the name of the game is to cut CO2 emissions as much as possible, you're at net negative. It necessarily means that had you not closed down nuclear power plants, you would have cut MORE CO2 emissions than you do now. That's just a statement of fact.

And this is my problem with anti-nuke policies. Implicitly the anti-nuke activists are saying that cutting CO2 emissions isn't as important as preventing expansion of nuclear power or even keeping existing plants running. Consider this and cry for our civilization: had the developed world doubled-down on nuclear power in the 60-70s to the same level as France, we would have prevented trillions of tons of CO2 from being emitted into the atmosphere. That could have bought us a few extra decades. I am convinced that history will see antinuclear view as more destructive than right-wing global warming denialism (which on balance does not actually do anything).

>Of course the sun doesn't shine at night. But no one wants to replace all energy production by solar alone. Wind is the companion of solar, both are roughly the same size in Germany. Wind is what delivers the power at night. Meaning that you have to overprovision your infrastructure to supplement periods of low output.

Again, this is a disingenuous point. The problem with wind and solar is not only variability but also the fact that peak generation does not match peak consumption. If peak wind generation is at 3am, it doesn't do our society any good because we need power at 6pm. Worse than that, solar and wind generation profile changes with weather and seasons.

So no, it's not simple as saying: Solar peaks during the day, and Wind peaks during the night and therefore they complement each other ... because they don't.

That is just crazy impressive to me. I'm not a fan of those kind of apps myself but it's pretty cool what they're engineers get to spend time on.
That's the truth. Give a tractor wifi and you will soon see a farmer riding with Netflix.

That is not an assumption or a guess. I've deployed Wi-Fi to farms and the first thing they reach for is an iPad and Netflix.
The Vice News video on this problem is really good.
When most non-farmers think of tractors, they think of something like a dumbed-down car with a lot of power. It's an engine that drags a tool through a field.

The idea that something like that could be locked behind components that can't be fixed or replaced cheaply is astounding to them.

I feel like it's the same as asking Henry Ford what he thinks about all the electronics in today's cars. It'd blow his mind.
> I would expect them to go to the section editor who signed off on it, or the managing editor, or the editor in chief, and urge them to take it down or retract it ... not to complain to HR that they feel unsafe.

And nobody would expect people abusing the "report content" feature on Twitter, YouTube, FB etc to silence people they disagree with, yet here we are. HR will probably give less push back than an editor.
I would happily drive electric cars and power my house and electronics off solar power if the infrastructure was readily available to support its usage and cost was affordable or highly subsidized.
In a lot of cases it's optimization for a truck loadout. The loading setup is usually automated to maximize the number of packages in a truck while minimizing empty space, so you can easily end up needing a larger box to fit a specific gap in the truck.

There are also some products that are marked as "fragile" and require a minimum amount of empty space in a box to prevent them from getting smashed. The exact definition of "fragile" and amount of space required is some kind of arcane black magic.
I think everyones's focus on the man and the crime is bogus, because the courts will either way reach a decision hopefully resembling justice.

>...individual incentives aren't aligned with group incentives... IMO human society simply isn't mature enough to deal with this problem.

I think it's an hypocrisy issue primarily. The people shouting for us to make a change won't make it first.

If even a majority of the people that say we should lower our carbon foot print bought only food and clothing produced without dirty electricity sources, didn't fly in private planes and only drove Prius/hybrid/electric cars, etc... (for starters)

Then maybe, just maybe they could convince everyone else it's even _possible_ to do what they expect everyone else to do to save the planet.
Appreciate your setting me straight. Antitrust law changed a lot since I read it and it's well outside of my practice wheelhouse.
Before we get too deep in arguing about supposed favoritism by Google, let's back up and look at the types of search terms that were entered in this study. Just about all of them relate to the sorts of Washington-focused headline news that's primarily covered by "a small number of major news outlets."

Searching for "Rex Tillerson" is the perfect example. (Remember him?)

Typical news searchers are looking for a much wider swath of news than just the latest on the former U.S. Secretary of State. In my own experience, that includes local news (what were all those police cars doing last night?) and lots of sports news, business/tech/entertainment news, scientific news, etc. Those articles come from a much wider assortment of news outlets, and I think Google does a decent job of finding them.

There's a limit to how many news organizations can generate meaningful coverage about Rex Tillerson. I'm at peace with the idea that Google has found most of the ones that matter.
>Yes, now those workers won't have such horrible conditions.

Instead of working in "horrible" conditions, these workers are now simply unemployed. Do you think they see that as an improvement of their position in life?
It's surprising to me that these major equipment manufacturers have so much power over our economy and yet (as far as I'm aware) aren't required to earmark emergency funds for this kind of scenario. A bank that goes out of business doesn't just shut the lights off one day and leave customers to figure things out on their own. Each state and the federal government have funds set aside contributed by banks to fund continuing operations while customers navigate the transition. That doesn't seem unreasonable in this scenario either.

Most (some would say all) transgender individuals suffer from gender dysphoria. In short, whenever we are reminded that our body is not like the image in our mind's eye it feels a bit like having a panic attack, being home sick & heart broken at the same time.

The last thing you want to happen is people to actually know that you are transgender, much less misgender you. The transitioning body is not the gender's present in your mind's eye, it is the result of having lived through the wrong puberty. Being made aware of the fact that you are transgender often triggers dysphoria.

Ever heard your voice in a recording and thought "Oh, that's not my voice -- it's just wrong. Must be the recording." and then felt a strong dislike towards that recording? Perhaps a bit of pain or cringe. Well, that's what a lot of transgender individuals experience daily when looking at their own bodies, hearing their own voice, seeing their image in the mirror, looking down at your own hands, etc.
Receipt printers in the UK universally print at the end of the checkout process. They're very fast - it only takes a few seconds to print a receipt about a foot long. In addition, some supermarkets have a secondary printer which prints colour coupons at the same time at a similar speed. So, I don't think it would be a big slowdown.
Two words: placebo effect. Above a certain (surprisingly inexpensive) point, most listeners just can't tell the difference or reliably pick a favourite between different gear in blind ABY tests.

A simple search gave me the apparent original source for the quote; an article titled Bash — The GNU Shell, first published in the Linux Journal in 1994:

I'm surprised they don't have reusable crates that they can pick up when they ship the next shipment to you - at least for subscribe & save orders. Like the milkman used to pick up the bottles.
I love Planet Money, but that article was pretty terrible.

Sure, if you're trying to optimize for greenhouse emissions, plastic isn't so bad. After all, carbon chains coming out of the ground as oil are going back into the ground as long-term stable plastic!

However, the article readily admits that plastic results in more litter than other bags. Which is worse, more CO2 or more litter in the environment? The article seems to take a position but doesn't really provide any justification.

I get the value of pointing out tradeoffs, but I don't think you can simply conclude that plastic is absolutely "better for the environment".
Where did I imply it was simple?

Writing a controller is a non trivial task. But it can be done.
As someone in consumer-goods warehousing and distribution, automation is the only way forward.

The seasonality of demand and inherent monotonous nature of the work itself makes it near-impossible to scale and retain the workforce required to fulfill orders.

You have to automate what can be automated, and continue to aggressively hire just to keep up with order growth.
> - would waiting to print the receipt at the end cause a big slowdown vs printing as you ring items up? (I believe with most current systems, items can be added and removed, and they show up as 'add' and 'remove' line items, because it does print as you scan.)

Most (all?) stores I go to print the receipt at the end of checkout, and it takes maybe 3 seconds at most, so I don't think that's an issue.

I would also be concerned that the longer receipt length means that people will be less likely to actually read it. (I know I personally tend to gloss over really long/verbose receipts, but I take the time to look at ones that are more densely packed. Maybe that's just me though.)
> Perhaps I should write about how I run(?) a family with ADD? It would make for a lot of laughs and a some sad stuff.

I would really like to read that - and I hope this doesn't come out as cynical or heartless, I can understand that having ADD comes with challenges. I am simply intellectually curious to hear how someone lives with such a condition.

I also feel/think - but I might be 100% wrong - that many of us have "some" light form of ADD, perhaps driven by our use of mobile devices. Curious to hear if you have any thought about it.

> Arguably, the purpose of a search engine is to help
> people find sources that they don't already know about.

I certainly don't want that... I want a search engine to show me a set of results likely to be most relevant to my query and to my interests. Google does some limited randomization of results to prevent winner-begets-winner outcomes (based on my SERP result research) but they're purpose is certainly not to show people sources that they don't already know about. Most of these queries are basically "navigational" anyways: is someone searching for "trump tariff" looking for interesting results or are they looking to navigate to a story about "trump tariffs"?
Something you may want to look into is the client MTU setting.

When I was setting up WireGuard on macOS Mojave it would connect but I wouldn't be able to load pages. Other devices didn't have any issues so the server config was fine. Turns out the autodetected MTU was too large and the packets were getting dropped. A dead giveaway that this is happening is that pages will (mostly) load over HTTP, but get stuck negotiating a secure connection over HTTPS. I'm guessing this is because of the larger packet sizes required to do the handshake.

Try setting to something really low like 100 to see if things start working and adjust from there.
We won't build specifically for consumers, we're targeting customers with 1000+ devices. My plan is to move my T-Mobile consumer subscription to my eSIM on my iPhone X once T-Mobile supports it and then put a Super SIM in my second slot for global data.
But the guy is even more wrong than that.

He is saying that any hit not on the first two pages of google's search results, doesn't exist, and is therefore being deplatformed?

That's a ludicrous position. Those hits do very much exist, and google will display to you each result in turn hoping you find something to click on. If his argument is taken at face value, the vast majority of hits, on every search term, for every user, is being deplatformed. That's just not the case. You can't really say you're being deplatformed, because you're not on the first page.
This is the main problem when you consider free speech as "hate speech". I had to hear a sermon from my young brother who is 15, that something I said was "hate speech" (basically an opnion on abortion if I`m not mistaken), something he learned in school.

I had to explain to him to no avail that theres not such a thing. There is only speech, and or is totally free, or is not free at all.

Well, if they could they would. They're keeping the workers they absolutely need and automating everything else possible. The endgame is a dark warehouse (no lights, the robots just sort of know what to do) but the workers still need some money so they keep working even though their numbers keep dropping.

This box robot saves material (little wastage of cardboard) and labor costs, and doesn't ever call in sick. Why wouldn't they want robots for everything?
The story how they came to producing sports cars is a fun one.
> The US basically had to threaten the EU with tarrifs f we don't import LPG from the US to reduce dependency on Russian gas. Norway, your other suppiler, isn't building any new capacity either.

I don't get what you want to say with all that. Of course Norway is not expanding capacity. Why should they? Renewables are coming. Here and there. And if the US wants to deliver cheaper LPG, why shouldn't we buy it?

> Wait, your country is building coal plants in 2019? At least reconvert them to gas or oil.

You don't start building something like that the year before it's finished and no. There are no new coal plants planned. The exit from coal is planned and no the ones that have been finished last year or the year before and never been turned on will not be converted to gas or oil because nobody needs that too. How is it you don't get that? I gave you an overview over a whole years energy production in Germany. We're selling the stuff for cheap in masses.
>The 737-MAX with the larger engines turned the statically stable airframe into one that must use computers (eg MCAS) to make it dynamically stable which is a technique used on modern fighter jets but to my knowledge has never been applied to a passenger aircraft.

This is completely false. The 737 MAX does not have relaxed static stability in the manner of a fighter jet. It just has different handling characteristics than earlier 737s at high angles of attack -- a region of the flight envelope that the pilot should never take the plane into in the first place.

Fighter jets of the kind you're referring to require continuous and precise adjustments of the flight control surfaces merely to avoid departing from controlled flight. This is absolutely not the case for the 737 MAX.
> In terms of skill level, you're absolutely fine, so don't worry too much about whether you should be better at certain things than others.

They fired me after 2.5 months working on the project, that's why I started to "worry" about my skills. They hired me as the only junior developer and as I think about it more and more, I'm starting to be sure not me wasn't enough, but a junior developer wasn't enough there in general.
The only utility of a receipt for me is just so that I can make returns. Otherwise I simply trash them.
Right now it looks like CO2 is going to cause a lot strife and war as drought and sea level rise cause a lot of displacement. A huge number of people live on or near the coasts of the world. I don't think CO2 will kill us directly but it'll probably a) get us to kill each other over resources or b) set us really far back (I think a lot of people underestimate how much of our modern economy is super interdependent on stable global trade and supply lines).
Maybe we should have done that 2000 years ago. Then we wouldn't have the scourge of electricity and the candle maker's union would still be going strong: providing high paying quality jobs to the honest workers of the world.

Your free service is nice - except that you can't use CF as a registrar for more than one domain without also having to pay for the proxying (even if there's no need). I'd gladly put all my eggs in one basket instead of having them spread out across five different registrars if that were fixed. Though maybe it's by-design?
>The print volume matters.

Yes.

There are some good ideas here that would be nice in practice. I like the categories and the fact items within that category are organized by price.

However, IMHO, the bar chart and bubble charts are useless. These will only add to the cost, time, and confusion. Heck, most here don't even understand it.

Where is the cost per lb information (for the meat)? That's useful.
We both know what was intended by that. Dramatization in an already emotion filled discussion.

> To make billions of dollars out of Uber, like Benchmark Capital did, the secret is to invest millions of dollars in the Series A and then allow other investors to invest the extra billions needed to scale the business and fund ongoing losses.

They missed a step there. The first thing is to get your fund to have Benchmark's reputation to have a chance to look at and invest in a deal like Uber early on.

For those not familiar with Benchmark, they made their name on Ebay. They go way back.
I wonder how to judge answers to these questions if you take into account coping mechanisms.

I've boarded a wrong tram a few times. I never did book an airplane ticket wrong because it's a high-stakes thing that I check 20 times (and then few more times next day) just to be sure I didn't screw up. Whenever I feel there's a chance to make a mistake that would be inconvenient, I'm fixating on it and doing it really extra careful - therefore not making the mistake. Same with invoices; I wrote myself software to calculate and I still check everything with a calculator before sending the PDF off.

I myself don't see the value of running a terminal in the editor. I see as an added complexity: did the makers of the editor code it the right? Is there any side-effects? Is the ENV correctly loaded? If adding an editor is simply saving you an "alt+tab" then isn't it a lot of effort just to avoid that?
That's the way older cash registers worked. It hasn't been commonplace for a couple decades for big retailers. POS terminals without screens need to let the cashier review mistakes so they can be corrected.
