You can't switch electric companies, but you can choose to switch off your load (or increase your source), thus denying them revenue or increasing their payments to you.

It also gets harder to game this system as distributed generation gets better penetration. The optimal thing to do as a residential energy provider is also naturally stabilizing for the grid. If a cabal of generators acts to restrict supply and artificially raise the price, then everyone who isn't a member of the cabal makes a killing selling energy into the market.

Its also hard for a cabal to squeeze residential providers out of the market through lower prices. Distributed generation is a small fraction of any individual provider's income. In most cases, a residential provider is paying for their system over several years. So in order to squeeze them out, a cabal would also have to sustain a campaign of artificially low prices for a span of years in order to have an impact.

Distributed generation means that there is a pool of small independent suppliers whose rational choice always acts to counter the actions of any oligopoly that attempts to form.
There's a lot more to this than simply taking spectrum away from hams. This potentially affects other ham bands too.

The allotted spectrum for ham use was designed intelligently to reduce (though not completely eliminate) the chances of hams accidentally clobbering folks outside of a ham band with harmonics. So for someone operating in the 10 meter band (28-29.7MHz), the 2nd harmonic is the 6 meter band (50-54MHz), the 8th harmonic is the 1.25m band (220-224MHz) and the 16th harmonic is the 2 meter band being discussed. The closest band to cause interference on the 2m band would be users of the the 1.25m band though as the 2m band is the 2nd harmonic from it.

Also, this is why the 2m and 70cm bands (144/440MHz) are commonly included on the same radio: one antenna can sort-of work for both bands. The antenna is tuned for the 2m band and that means it will also radiate 3rd harmonic excitations as well (the 440MHz band is the 3rd harmonic from the 144MHz band). So it works decent for 2 meters and as a crappy but acceptable 70cm band antenna. The only casualty is the 2nd harmonic band between them at 288MHz which is not allocated to hams.

But anyway, there's no "type acceptance" required for ham radios because that allows hams to build their own gear and not just be appliance operators. Thales is setting themselves up for a lifetime of potential problems if they manage to crack open the 2m band for commercial use.

Lastly, I will say that this is from the US perspective, I'm less well versed in ITU regions and bands available outside of the US. Thanks.
As a Texan, I've got to proudly point out that Texas has been providing an exemption on property taxes for beekeepers for a while now.

It is restricted to property of size 5-20 acres, which I think is a great sweet spot that doesn't allow large landowners to abuse the exemption.

To convey information. Getting rid of price is like putting a blindfold on because you think there's a tiger nearby. I'm pretty much in the classical liberal / conservative mold and I would say that if you're worried people are suffering from the greed of others it's better to give the people who can't afford the thing in question money then to just make it free for everyone - or even make it free for the people who can't afford it.

There was an onion tourism article recently about how the ONLY way to experience Chicago like a REAL Chicago native is to get a job there, find an apartment and move there.

There's no "authentic" tourist experience relative to how locals live. You're not going to vote for town council in the week you're there. You don't have well informed opinions about the state of things. You're just eating some cool snacks and visiting pretty/interesting locations.

When you externalize costs like this anything is easy to justify, I will ask a different way: should we be reconsidering forcing the costs of adtech's growth in to an engaged panopticon on to society? Do ads need to be 1000 times more efficient (and profitable, if Alphabet and Facebook's quarterly reports are to be believed) if they have so many external costs which the ecosystem is simply unfit to solve itself?
And the available-right-now Nissan Leaf has 147 HP and 236 lb-ft of torque AND gets 150 miles on a full charge. Price guesstimates put these cars in a similar range.

> The main problem is not that we'll eventually run out of oil.

The concept of "peak oil" (discounting whether or not it's a fallacy) wasn't ever that we'd run out of oil. When peak oil occurred, there would still be oil in the ground.

The problem was (supposed to be) that the amount of energy it would take to extract that oil from the ground would be greater than the amount of energy you would get from that oil extracted. In other words, it would take as much or more than a barrel of oil's energy to extract that barrel of oil.

At that point, it would make no economic sense to try to get that oil, at least from an energy consumption point of view (it may make sense for other reasons though - for instance, to use the oil to make chemicals or plastics or other materials).

We were supposed to hit that point - and we have hit that point multiple times on a per-oil producing country level. The United States hit it a long while back. But then this new technology of fracking came into being, and it changed the equation radically. Now it seems the USA is outputting more oil than it ever has, in effect reversing it's peak oil status (which I don't think was ever thought possible).

Shale oil and oil sands were known about for a long time, but the technology made it super energy intensive; fracking opened it up, and also made old wells produce again. I'm sure the concept is being applied world wide as needed, and that's caused the "world peak oil" timeline to recede as well.

What would probably happen if "peak oil" ever did occur on a world level, would be that other energy sources would be used to extract it; nuclear generated electricity would be the best choice, much like it's been proposed for water desalination. But even those thoughts were predicated on the idea that solar costs wouldn't drop like they've did in recent years, so maybe solar might be the better choice?

Also, the oil probably wouldn't be brought up for fuel usage in such a scenario, since you'd still be upside down in that regard. But it would make sense to extract it for its other uses as a raw material.
Mixmax has an accidentally helpful guide to the only way to block tracking: block images. (They also mention how aggressively they try to get around email blockers.)

There's an inverse relationship between email importance and production value, seeing a bunch of blank boxes is a great hack to signal that.

https://success.mixmax.com/article/57-track-opens

"...An open won't be recorded if:

The recipient opens the email on a legacy email client that blocks all images from being viewed. This also means that images in signatures and other media won't carry through to the recipient, so in practice this is quite rare.

The recipient has software to block email tracking. This is also quite rare, and Mixmax actually circumvents most email tracking blockers."
Labview is one of these languages, which I’ve used for the last 5 years. It’s the only tool I use daily that makes me want to blow my brains out. I think diagrams like these are really useful as high level visualizations, but fail miserably as a low level implementation.

It’s my opinion that one of the things that turns visual code into spaghetti is that refactoring is difficult, because the code grows in 2d, as opposed to 1d (I don’t count line length). It’s sort of like if you could have infinitely many columns of concurrently executing code in text a based function, where any line in a given column can be connected to any line in a different column.

I think what could be useful is a hybrid model, where you have something like text based modules whose communication is orchestrated by a visual diagram. For what it’s worth, Simulink can be used like this to some extent(e.g., hooking S-functions together) and I find it orders of magnitude more pleasant than labview.
In addition to the aerodynamic improvement, using cameras eliminates the need to adjust the mirrors for different drivers. Which is probably safer, as fewer drivers will be running around with misaligned mirrors and blind spots with varying sizes.
Though, only if you're using a short TTL. I'm not arguing against your position in general though.
> The estimates are about 100 Million killed

They don't teach it in schools because it's nonsense, like the idea that the US is soft on socialism/communism.

The oft-repeated 100m number comes from exactly one source, a book whose own anti-communist authors don't even agree on the number, which contrary to your claim does include WWII deaths.

Arguing the "estimated" (made up) 100m figure always goes hand in hand with saying it was worse than the Nazis, which you did twice, and is a red flag that a poster is a neo-Nazi.

If you're not a neo-Nazi, or don't want to be immediately seen as such, you should be careful about repeating the standard lies of people who are.
It costs billions of USD to design a new platform. VW spent $60 billion USD on their MQB platform [1].

It's a different market; it's a sporty RWD subcompact car with amazing design aesthetic. North Americans love huge vehicles and don't "get" this market which is why we have almost no cars sold in this segment anymore. But in European and Asian cities a small vehicle like this makes a huge amount of sense, and they sell very well.

It's maybe more competition for the Kia Soul EV than anything else, but this is sportier and much nicer looking.

Borrows the design language of the classic Honda Civic, which is nice, as all of Honda's current cars look terrible.

I'm not usually a fan of Honda and up until recently they were openly hostile to electrification, but this vehicle is really nice.
Absolutely, this is likely the next integration we'll be working on. There were a few features schema-wise that we needed support before we started, but we're _very_ close. We'd love beta testers to help us build it out. Feel free to email us if you're interested: vector@timber.io
"If you’re giving individual teams (or gods help you, individuals) free reign to make local decisions about infrastructure, you’re hurting yourself globally. It’s freedom, sure. You’re handing developers a ball of chain and padlocks and telling them to feel free to bind themselves to the operational toil that will be with them until the sweet release of grim death."

That last sentence really should be, "You’re handing developers a ball of chain and padlocks and telling them to feel free to bind you to the operational toil that will be with you until the sweet release of grim death." They can (and will) pack up their tents and move on well before any consequences appear.

> If an outage lasts more than four minutes, it usually takes much longer to get it running again (I assume it's because it then triggers an alert that will be handled by a human operator).

I read a statistic at some point (which I can no longer find the reference for) that power outages tend to be bimodal: either they last a short time (e.g. <5min) or they last a long time. There's hardly anything in between.

In the US, utilities report outages longer than five minutes:

Well, it is. The airport is past gigantic for the city of its size, and landing fees are said to be quite low. I think nearly all companies flying narrowbodies from Europe to China do stopover here, except for Central Asian airlines who have a natural option of doing stopover in home countries.

I flew through it once, and now I will never do it ever again...

I do feel that bigger name European airlines opting to reroute flights to China through Chengdu had all of above in mind
Kinda wonder at this point what findings exist on their Availability SOC 2, assuming they've gotten one.

The repeated outages plus the constant malicious advertising by scammy ad providers through cloudflare are slowly turning me off to the service as a potential enterprise customer. Unfortunate too since plenty of superlatively qualified people build great things there (hat tip to Nick Sullivan), but it seems like the build-fast culture may now be impeding the availability requirements of their clients.

This is also a great example of a case where SLAs are meaningless without rigorous enforcement provisions negotiated in by enterprise clients. Cloudflare advertises 100% uptime (https://www.cloudflare.com/business-sla/) but every time they fall over, they're down for what, an hour at a time? Just this one issue would've blown anyone else's 99.99% SLA out of the water -- https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/incidents/tx4pgxs6zxdr

I love the service, but if I'm to consider consuming the service, they'd do well to have the equivalent of a long term servicing branch as its own isolated environment, one where changes are only merged in once they've proven to be hyper-stable.

Please produce at least several prominent examples of that actually happening to tourists over the last decade.

The US is a massive country that ~75 million foreigners visit each year. In 2018 that figure hit an all-time record high near 78 million, which is in curious contrast to your setup premise.

With so many people visiting the US every year, you surely can produce a very large number of examples of toursts being held indefinitely - for many years even, one imagines - without cause.

There are other futures markets that are bootstrapped off of the day-ahead market. Weeks/months out are used to schedule maintenance operations. Years out are used to schedule construction/decommissioning.

So if the extended market prices are high enough, then this acts as a signal to add generation and/or distribution capacity. Likewise, if the extended market prices are low enough, this acts as a signal to retire capacity that has a higher operating cost/lower profit margins.

Same. I am really picky about performance, and I've never seen anything but instantaneous response from collapsing comments. I just tried it right now on a few example threads from the home page and confirmed that it's instantaneous. I would estimate less than 50ms. I can rapidly click a + and - and collapse/expand a comment tree more or less as fast as I can click (the limiting factor being that my browser wants to select the + button itself as text).

For whatever it's worth, I use Firefox on Windows. But I just fired up Chrome and gave it a test, and I see the same thing there. But I don't do a whole lot of HN comment browsing on my mobile device, so I suppose that's the difference.
> What was the experience between 9pm and 10am?

The time I went a few years ago it was pretty dead. I'm not a big Venice fan. It's a pretty city that's worth seeing before it sinks away, but I enjoy other cities for repeat visits.

I mentioned in another comment a few weeks ago that if I wanted to visit Venice again I would stay in Rovinj, Croatia and take the local ferry over for the day. When I went to Venice we took the ferry over and stayed in Venice, and after seeing the Venice highlights really just wanted to go back to Crotia.
Those Japanese-American detainees had legal residential status when they were illegally rounded up without due process.

The detainees in the current border camps have no such status. Some of them are eventually admitted as refugees but there is no obligation to allow any of them to simply enter the country.

Presumably they would be permitted to leave the camps if they decided to go to a different country. If not, then the camps are in fact concentration camps. If so, then the comparison is hysterical political outrage that spits in the face of actual political detention.

>> Doesn't higher torque directly lower fuel efficiency?

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: For a given flux density, torque is proportional to the rotor volume. To get higher efficiency usually requires adding material (copper) to the windings to lower electrical resistance, which may require a larger diameter motor.

Having said that, for a given motor design you are likely to get better range by accelerating at lower torque for a longer time as opposed to more exciting driving.

I never understood peoples enthusiasm for torque numbers. It all goes through gears and then gets divided by tire radius to get a forward force, and then gets divided by vehicle weight to get acceleration. Just give us the final acceleration in G's please. Similarly, power is important but power/weight is going to be more indicative of 0-60 time.
Agreed. It’s worse than figuring out TV remotes!
