Nothing wrong with renting, so long as you can sublet it, and you have rent control. Consider it an investment without all of the capital cost expenditures that come with a ownership. I have a coworker whose family member rented a one bdrm condo in downtown Toronto 20 years ago when she was attending university. When she left univ, she sublet it to another family member, and so on, and so on through the years. Thanks to rent control the rent has only increased a few hundred dollars over those twenty years. However, the she sublets it at current rental market value which pockets her $1000/month. Nice!

Your example is off the mark. What people mean by that sentiment is that as long as you don't harm others, you should have the freedom to do what you want. Climate-change and ant-vax are issues that impact everyone else on the planet.
The only measures in which intermittent sources beat nuclear is nameplate capacity. Net generation is a fraction of that for intermittent sources. The capacity factor (as in, what percentage of it's nameplate capacity is actually generates in real world use cases) of intermittent sources is low,1/4 and 1/3 for solar and wind. For nuclear it's over 90% [1].

People keep saying that intermittent sources are winners and that nuclear is a losing technology. Real world experience says otherwise. The only way intermittent sources are feasible is with cheap high capacity energy storage, which has never been built. In fact, Germany has had to build more fossil fuel plants following the closure of nuclear facilities. If we want to replace all electricity generation with carbon free sources nuclear is the only known way to do that (besides geography-dependent sources like hydroelectricity and geothermal power). If there's some psychological fixation at hand here, it's the aversion to nuclear power and draw to intermittent sources despite the unsolved fundamental limitations of the latter.

I've worked in every type of office in Silicon Valley: private office, shared office, cubicle, cubicle with low walls, and open office. My favorite is open office. It's a different way to work, but I do find it more social and more collaborative. I don't get distracted that easily and I recover easily if someone asks me a question so for me it works fine. I can understand if others feel differently, but for me, open office is definitely my favorite.
I'm reminded of a quote: people don't want a democracy, they want a dictatorship that they agree with. I think a similar idea applies here. They don't really care that the child isn't qualified and their brains are still forming; if it's an idea they agree with, they'll use them as political figures to achieve their own goals.

You took my interpretation of efficiency in a totally unexpected direction, which is cool and let me learn something new!

However I don't buy EROEI as being a good measure in a discussion about long term climate change and the wholistic picture of an energy source. EROEI is too short-term focused (on energy break even) instead of looking at the lifetime of an energy source. Oil plants and internal combustion cars need to account for the years of shipping logistical distribution and mining/drilling when looking at the lifetime of an oil plant or the lifetime of the car. Compared to the marginal energy cost of maintenance of a PV cell or wind turbine over the lifetime of those power generating structures. The EROEI at the end of the energy production lifetime may favor energy-intensive short term sunk costs with low long term marginal costs (wind and sun) instead of favoring low-entry-incumbents with high energy operating costs (oil and it's existing logistical infrastructure).

So I disagree it's "not controversial" and I also think looking at EROEI for the break even point is kind of like looking at bullet holes on planes without Abraham Wald around.
No. She gets up one day with an opinion she's felt strongly about and goes alone with a hand made sign to sit outside her government's office. Next day others joined. Then it kept escalating.

Kids have strong opinions. Teenagers can have especially strong opinions. Of course it has to be a conspiracy with someone behind the scenes pulling strings.
This was my experience. I had an almost perfect score on the math section of the GRE, but that only landed me in the mid 80s percentile wise. On the other hand, my English score was quite a ways from perfect, but I was surprised to see that it was 98th percentile.

Yes, and this kind of toxic stupidity should not be tolerated as it puts everyone else at risk
How Does NLP Work?
This is like saying pay should be lower for NFL players who are allowed to wear helmets because they “want to work there” (not die or get concussions, be successful in their job).

It’s mind-boggling that basic necessities like private working conditions, a tool to get my job done (which is the job that earns my salary), is equivocated with “extras” or “nice-to-haves” that I should give up salary to get. Crazy town.

Wouldn’t you love to work at Acme Co.? We totally don’t cut your hands off, so we pay 20% below market.
Hm, I see now where we're talking past each other - I was thinking more along the lines of "user has orders has order lines has products has prices" (where you might traditionally make a (hierarchy of) database view(s)).

Not "user has orders", and also "user has favorite products".

> I could buy into it if the rational is it's far cheaper to fit more employees in less space. That's a fine reason. It sucks to work in, but I can at least hear that without rolling my eyes and dismissing everything else that person says as incredulous.

Raytheon, for all its other faults, was at least largely honest about why they were shrinking cube sizes and experimenting with open floor plans. There was some half-hearted mentions of increased collaboration, but they pretty much said it was a space issue.
No, going to the UN is there outcome of a movement that started out as a one-person protest at a national parliameny, something that's a lot more plausible for a teen.

Still, not common, but there are enough teens in the world that there are substantial absolute numbers that are deep into the tails of any distribution. Not everyone is average.
I used to think that noise was the worst distraction to deal with in an open office until I took a job where a coworker in our open office decided not to practice basic hygiene. The smell is just horrible. It’s far and away the most distracting thing I’ve ever experienced in my career.

They dress up and put in effort to look nice in the office, but everyone instantly knows when they walk into a room.

Honestly, I’m hesitant to go to HR about it in case it’s a religious/cultural thing, but I will never, ever complain about noise again in my career after this. Woof.

I get a bit bewildered every time I see someone complaining about open offices as it always begs the question - what kind of alternative do they demand exactly? I have addressed this on many threads and comments but somehow I never gen an answer.

Only thing I can think of are cubicles but to me they seem a lot worse than the open office and they're definitely not a thing here in Europe. Out of all the companies and interviews I've been to and people in the industry that I know, I have yet to see a cubicle outside of a hollywood movie.

The other thing I suppose is where literally every employee gets their own office. But is that really a thing? Because I've never heard of something like that.
Our place is this format. I hate it. It's so bad that days I have a lot of coding to do I just wfh.

BTW, our company knows it is a productivity killer, they don't really give a damn. They have a lot of real estate to manage and hotel desks solve a problem.
The distinction is about business models and cost of doing business. When your costs are high and you are owned by a mega corp, there is a high probability that some of your stories are compromised. This is pretty obvious to anyone who is paying attention and has been since at least Bush 2 and probably earlier.
A pod is a lot different than an open office from my experience. Since the only background noise is your team and your problems, while distracting it at least it's focused on things you care about. Open offices you get bled over from everything. Made worse by the modern industrial design that hates noise insulation.
Scott Adams nailed in in "The Joy of Work".

>After your boss has taken away your door, your walls, and your storage areas, there aren't many options left for the next revolution in office design. One of the following things is likely to go next: the floor; the ceiling; your happiness.

They can't take the floor, you need that to not fall out of the building. They can't take the ceiling, they need that to keep them safe while they have money fights or whatever it is executives do.

So I know what they're coming for next.

> Kids that age need love and stability, not the fear that the world is going to end unless they do something

Then we should be doing something, we should be building a world where they don’t have to live in credible fear of mass extinctions, food crises, escalating natural disasters, and state violence in response to them. That children aren’t being afforded that by our inaction and complacency, are forced into this role to defend their basic survival, is what is far more disturbing.
I refuse to work in an open office unless you're paying me to bother, er, "collaborate" with my coworkers. Want me to put my head down and focus? Give me an office.
I think they’d be more productive if they just left a basket of earplugs at the front. I use them and don’t have a problem in open office space—-and this coming from someone with ADD.
There is a whole field of research called Differential Privacy that deals with, basically, how much and what data you can release and what information can be deduced from that. It is fascinating and has many applications from advertising (FB demographics...) to medical research.
"But authoritarianism is so much more effective at enforcing my will" … the sentiment in all the halls of all our pseudo-intellectual institutions that have been coopted and commandeered by communists over many decades … which turns out is rather easy due to some interesting phenomenons that actually make "intellectual" and "educated" people far more susceptible to con jobs, propaganda, and general lies that are simply clad in academic appearing wrapping. The liberal arts in particular seems well beyond vulnerable, even willing and wanting to be deceived at the rates that it has been shown it is possible to deceive them with utter nonsense; from sociology to economics to {fill in the blank} studies to psychology (the most ironic of them all).

How that relates to this subject, is that China (CCP) has learned quite well that the way to manipulate the cadre of influential and bottomlessly naive academics into allegiance with them, is to give academics shiny things they want like a carrot dangled before a donkey. A long standing and quite successful operation of this soft and system infiltrating power has been the panda program at the Smithsonian Zoo (including the other locations around the USA). Academics and "intellectuals" and liberals thing it's "cultural exchange" and makes them feel all warm and fuzzy in their xenophilic little hearts; while the CCP/China see it as the vehicle to win their "hearts and minds" as a delivery vehicle to push various other injections of subversion, influence, and control.

It's quite a both fascinating and impressive operation, especially since it requires immense dedication, focus, and confidence over long periods … something the USA simply does not have a capacity for, especially in the modern age.
And the 'whole idea' amounts to child abuse. A kid her age is not prepared to be a public figure and all the pressures that come with it. She shouldn't be up there period. And everyone who says that 'the adults aren't doing anything so the kids have to', why aren't the adults who use this argument doing something then?
If you're saying you launched in July, that's like a couple of months. The three years before doesn't matter, I mean it seems like a mistake, should have launched something after 2-3 months but in any case that time is gone. It took over a year after the launch of my SaaS to get the first paying customer. Need to find a way to market to these academics.
Ms. Thunberg is actually doing something useful: she's challenging those in power to stop being content to profit from the status quo, get off their over-privileged asses, and clean up after themselves instead of leaving the mess for her generation to deal with.

We're lucky kids her age are still talking, and haven't decided that the situation is sufficiently dire to justify the use of violence.
It literally doesn't matter if it's co2 or not that powers it. Even if it's all wind, that energy could have gone somewhere else. We are wasting energy, by a lot.
Fusion won't saves, there is already evidence that every extra energy we produce is used, having more green energy doesn't reduce fossil fuels energy consumed, it just makes more energy consumed overall.
Don't waste energy.
Sometimes there will be a little pain associated with creating more awareness to issues like this... you did the right thing.

Your should have turned him in - for your protection. My uncle had a roommate pulling something like that. (the roommate was actually a cop who would find open doors and then rob the place while checking out why the alarm was going off). My uncle figures that given how quick his roommate was arrested after he turned his roommate in that they already know his roommate was doing something and were just looking for evidence because there is no way he wasn't involved in the crimes.
And that is as expected, the article mentions that this telescope is more sensitive but it has a smaller field of view so it is used to get better images of areas indicated by a different telescope that has a much larger field of view.
I think it's an important distinction to say that is isn't a space issue, it's a money issue.
This is the arrangement at the place I've been working at for the last 9 years and I have to say, I prefer it to everything else. Our team is all in the same room so useful impromptu conversations happen semi-regularly. We don't have to reserve a conference room for daily stand-up. Asking questions (e.g. useful interruptions) is encouraged. If you want to be in the Zone for a few hours with no interruptions, there are places in the building where no one will bother you, or you can work from home that day.

Certainly, it's not for every kind of personality. But that's why companies evaluate for cultural fit as well. If you can't stand being interrupted ever for any reason, you're probably better off with a remote gig working from home. It doesn't work for extroverts who are compelled to strike up conversations regularly or who can't think without also talking because these things interrupt the whole team.
I mostly want a commute of less than an hour. If I was 100% remote I'd move to the middle of nowhere.

The sad thing is that Hyper Transport was supposed to offer this exact feature and implement it just like SGI did with NUMAlink. There were a few boards produced with HTX slots, I have an older Tyan dual socket Opteron board with an HTX slot kicking around.

Apart from what Davide says: isn't it nice that if you have something which feels really good to wear because it fits properly, you know it'll last? Also: I honestly believe many people would be happier, or at least have less things to worry about, if they'd care less about how they look. (plus once you start talking to somebody, it's what you have to say what matters, not how you look)

Despite having a great job it's still totally relevant to build your resume. What if you get let go, the company undergoes changes, or you become unhappy?
I'm exactly opposite of that. If I announce plans, that adds an additional cost (embarrassment) to failing to accomplish them, which makes it less likely that I'll procrastinate or abandon the effort.
Not really any of those things for my wife and I. We enjoy city life. It comes down to cost entirely. Would be happy to live in SF, but the cost is ridiculous. Found similar paying work in a much lower cost of living area of CA, and left immediately.

This is a really dumb way for doctors to prescribe finasteride, by the way.

If we assume that the reason patients get finasteride this way is to get insurance to cover it, and the doctor has no evidence to suggest the patient actually has an enlarged prostate, and further doesn't document a physical exam confirming the enlarged prostate, it's basically insurance fraud.

If this is simply a way to get the patient pills via prescription regardless of the insurance coverage (you said yourself that it's cheap, and hair loss is cosmetic and therefore shouldn't even be covered by insurance), this is even more stupid, because doctors are well within their rights to prescribe or administer medications that are FDA approved for one condition "off label".
