No, there is currently no electrical transmission between Nebraska and California, nor will there be in the foreseeable future. There are projects proposed to deliver electricity from Wyoming to California, e.g., Zephyr, Chokecherry, and TransWest, and even those are a ways off.

Large distances between source and consumption is common to most resources. It's hardly unique to renewable energy. We need long rail lines for coal generation, gas pipelines for gas generation, same for oil, hugely expensive water projects to get water to where it can be used, etc. In comparison, the combination of transmission line expansion and wind and solar (and soon, storage) is fast becoming the most cost effective way to supply a country with electricity.

Bird deaths from wind turbines are just a tiny fraction of those from things like cars, buildings and windows, guy wires, and house cats. I don't like the danger that turbines pose to raptors, but the "bird-killing machines" thing is pretty worn-out bullshit at this point.

A strikingly large amount of remote-work offers require the person to be in a particular time zone. Managers want you to be able to communicate with the team at times that are normal working hours for everyone. Even if there are Eastern Europeans or whatever who are comfortable working nights, they still wouldn’t get hired in spite of the opportunity to pay them less.

>I want to be alone - what's so wrong with that?

If you are writing software just for yourself, there is nothing wrong with that. If you are writing software for others, be prepared to be steamrolled by people who know how to write good code AND how to communicate with consumers of the software (i.e., paid customers, OSS devs, enterprises, etc., that one will depend on what kind of software you are writing).

I think that a lot of developers with a mindset similar to yours tend to underestimate how important good/valuable feedback (and communication in general) is. And I am saying that as someone who initially went into comp sci for reasons similar to yours. Some of the best engineers I ever worked with had amazing communication skills, and it acted as a x10 multiplier to their technical skills and overall productivity.
Im not a coder, so maybe the domain is different in a way i dont understand, but I agree with you 100%.

Refueling nuclear aircraft carriers have projections start to finish, a half decade long. There are countless pre and co requisites with interrelated projects, not counting the mundane issues like material and manpower.

I simply do not accept it is impossible to project a timeline for software. If someone stops you in the hall and says "hey you, how long will this take?" That is not a reasonable question, so sure you cant give a reasonable projection. If youre a professional coder and you show up to a planning meeting and your answer is "I dont know, i have no idea and its not possible to provide an answer even on an order of magnitude" thats just ridiculous.

I wish people were more comfortable saying "I don't know but I can do some research and get back to you later." Often times that's where the conversation about time estimates ends because they don't ask you again unless it's actually important. And if they do ask you, now you have a better answer (assuming you actually looked into the problem you're trying to solve).

The other problem with time estimates that I find is that even though I might know for sure that a certain feature will take only a day or two, I can't tell when it'll be done because I usually have other things to work on as well.
Sure - but with most of the same caveats that apply to moving your own globally public IPv4 address around... ie, you need to register for an AS number, buy the IP space you want, and publish routes in the global internet routing table.

Its nowhere near as cheap as DNS and much more complicated (since you're concerned about things like how, physically, pulses on a wire/fiber will make it to the edge of your network.. you need to peer with one or more ISPs).

You could lease address space from an ISP and make all of that their problem, but then of course its not _your_ IP space. Think of it like the difference between being an internet user (leasing IP space) and a member of the internet (running your own network).

Since we're specifically talking about DNS in here though, I really don't think a stable IPv6 address would be a viable alternative to what we use DNS for.
maybe this is real stuff, and the plausible ridicule/deniability allows it to exist?
The post you're replying to isn't referring to "impermanence," it's referring to messages dropped in transit. IRC is an unreliable message transport even if all users are online and trying to listen to each other.

The most obvious version of this is a netsplit, but even single users can get isolated from the network and have all of their messages dropped without realizing it until minutes later (if ever). There's no cool name for that; it's just IRC being unreliable.

Maybe unreliability is part of the charm for you, but that bug is absolutely not a feature, and not intrinsic to being a "social protocol."

I wonder if it's related to the trend in recent years of manufacturers marketing ultra low-budget Windows 10 laptops (and to a lesser extent tablets) with critically small amounts of non-upgradeable storage? An install of Windows 10 typically takes up ~26GB and there's already a problem with consumers discovering that their 32GB soldered eMMC machines are unable to perform any OS updates without jumping through extra hoops with external storage [0].

> The original protestors were fastidious in their civic-mindedness.

General question: What is your process for determining whether or not a protest you read about is peaceful, fastidiously civic-minded, or if it is just a bunch of hooligans who want to break windows?

How do you apply that process for determining the nature of protests in your local city?

I ask, because I've never been to, seen, heard of, or read about a protest whose nature was not in dispute by conflicting media. The side that a publication supports is nearly always framed as a group of angels, while the opposing side frames it as a bunch of savages, that were rightfully put in their place by a police response.

Maybe a spike takes a week. Maybe a spike takes an hour. I can't estimate that.

Which would be fine, but then management or the PM expects me to loop back around when a spike is complete. I'd rather just continue engineering a solution when I'm done investigating, which is the natural progression of things.

I'd rather treat {get requirements, investigate, implement, debug, deploy} as a single atomic task, rather than splitting it across N meetings for planning the sprint, planning the spike, meeting with the PM for more requirements they forgot to put in the user story, describing it at a retrospective, showing it at a demo.

Now I know somebody will say "But that's now how agile works!". Well, we have a few agile "coaches" that were embedded in our teams who would disagree.

It's theoretically possible, but not likely. The Earth-Moon-Sun system is fairly stable because the Earth and Moon are relatively far away from the Sun and everything else. When we put a satellite in orbit around the moon, the gravity of the Earth is much greater when the satellite is on the Earth's side, and much weaker when it's on the other side of the Moon. Those forces destabilize the orbit rather quickly and corrections have to be made using fuel.

If the Moon were much further away, the Moon could have a moon of its own. But the further away it gets from the Earth, the more likely it is to be influenced by other objects like other planets or the Sun.

One of the things I bemoan is that game developers have embraced speedrun-type players in that it has influenced their game design which is evident in the most recent games: almost every game that is sold as a "hardcore" game involves essentially the ability to memorize and perform, skills which are okay but I don't particularly really enjoy. I painfully miss twitch games like quake that instead of pushing you to memorize and perform accurately, you instead had to react and improvise quickly and think on your feet.[0] It's a different set of skills that seems to have fallen out of favor as of late.

How about that time we had to discuss employee X's behavior.

The sexualized commentary about employee V's nice boobs.

The CEO arguing that employee M be kept because he's got leverage and we should let employee Z go instead.

I dunno, pretty much the stuff that can break a company into nothingness.

I believe the OP's point is a 3-hour red-eye isn't a great travel option. But, it's a fairly common flight when traveling West-to-East in the US. He'd prefer a 10 hour trip (via train, or blimp, or anything else) if the pricing was in the same ballpark.

The 10 hour over-night doesn't "waste" any time - you're eating and sleeping those hours regardless.
I strongly disagree. Reducing warming to <=2C will take drastic government regulations. It's never going to happen. This isn't something that can be done by recycling campaigns or "work remote!" slogans.
Our company is remote first (no physical office, co-founders spread across the world), and one frequent point of feedback we get from new hires is that working for a company with a 100% remote culture is quite different than working remotely for a company with existing physical offices. When you are working from a distance with an otherwise co-located team, it is easy to miss out on important information, and interacting socially with coworkers (a challenge for any remote position) becomes even harder.
