For those looking for their motivations, here it is (recall PG&E filed chapter 11 to navigate liability payments):

"Second, any catastrophic wildfires caused by PG&E this year could upend the bankruptcy proceedings. That is because both bondholders’ and shareholders’ reorganization plans allow investors to back out if PG&E even appears to cause any catastrophic wildfires.

Specifically, both groups’ plans give investors the chance to withdraw their financing offers if unexplained fires in PG&E’s service area damage more than 500 buildings—unless its power lines were “de-energized” or turned off, or regulators clear it of responsibility. That may help explain the wide scope of this week’s precautionary power outages."

The management has their backs up against the wall and the interest groups involved don't care at all whether you have power, they just want to extract value from this company.

Fruit does this to me which is why I have removed most of it from my diet, I end up eating too much of it and worse I end up wanting to snack other stuff afterward.

if I stick to meats and vegetables, mostly green kind, I don't have the munchies but I have to tend more to the "keto" side to keep it up. Meaning, no starches or sugars but lots of fats and green stuff; that was the key for me, lots of stuff that is green.

yeah there is science behind nearly every diet but the trick is finding out what works for your physically and mentally. Forget to accommodate the mental side and its easy to lapse

I think the problem is difficulty defining bullying. Fighting is easy, if you hit someone then you broke the rules, but bullying has a much more blurry line. At my school there was some attempt to crack down on bullying, but instances of bullying were regularly dismissed or reframed as "just banter".

We do know, it's not an emotional argument, there are standardized surveys that capture this. Yes, kids may lie, but the surveys are the same each time, so the overall trend will be accurate, even if the specific number is under-represents the phenomenon. If only half the kids using tobacco products admit to it, but the trend is going up or down, it still accurately portrays and increasing or decreasing trend.

Would the argument hold if O'Connor were employed by SNL?

It is not meaningless in practice. I can agree it is insufficient and that groups lead to emergent behavior. But it is meaningful to note that the individual components of an organization have free will and potentially a sense of ethics/morality.

Each company has different behaviors, some broadly can be assumed, like, a company won’t usually want to deliberately destroy or bankrupt itself (there have been exceptions to this!). Others will contribute greatly to social or environmental programs that directly hurt short term profits. how they get to those decisions is complex and requires strategy, execution, leadership, etc. Not something so 19th century as “profit maximization”

My original post was to state that’s it is false to suggest that a company is always a profit-maximizing amoral machine. People aren’t machines and The emergent behavior of any given corporation rarely is “Profit maximization”. It is sort of like saying the emergent behavior of a sports team is “point maximization”. It is meaningless and not true.

So for this system that'd be 16 years of full cycles till it wore down to being "only" a 240MWh system.

In reality they'll probably cycle it less aggressively than that (95/5 or 90/10) to meet the expected 25 year lifetime of the overall system.

How I Built Good First Issue Bot with OpenFaaS Cloud
Naah, I was bullied heavily in school and have keenly observed those who get bullied. It is the one form the 'out group'.

I was bullied because I was the only kid in the group from a 'rival colony' and had 'helicopter-ish' parents.
Every bullied kid since was either: fat, ugly, new kid in town, disabled or something like that.

I think you just proved a point here. That's not "happiness" in the sustainable sense. That's instant gratification.

Sweden most likely doesn't have to worry about a Russian invasion, Eastern Europe is a more likely target for any Russian aggression.

Interesting how the only country in Europe (Ukraine) that is currently at war with Russia is the only country in Europe that NATO doesn't want. Considering they've spilled more blood for European values than any of the European countries have since the Second World War it's a total shame.
That's the gist of it. Of course I omitted a lot of things, and not all of them are in the protesters's favor either.

> You omitted how China pressured Cathay Pacific to identify and punish its staff involved in (peaceful, legal) protests.

A pilot who took part in violent protests was barred from flying in China's air space.

Some other employee who illegally leaked customer information where disciplined or fired.

Please tell us how those punishments are unfair.

> You omitted any mention of police violence.

The police were never violent before the protesters got violent. They simply responded in kind. You think they should just stand still and take the beating/burning?

> you omitted the important fact that Taiwan's government very early made it clear that they did not want the extradition law.

I am a Polish immigrant to Canada.

Canada very reluctantly helped the US with their air raid campaign over Afghanistan, but as far as I am aware we didn't have much say in Iraq.

And either way, I fail to see how that translates to having a closer relationship with their people.

If anything, it distances them from our psyche.

Obviously the invasion of Iraq was the wrong thing to do. I am not arguing that it was right in any way whatsoever.

Do you also get snarky about Bill Gates giving away half his wealth to the Gates foundation? After all, he's still leaving billions aside for himself to live it up.

Call me weird, but I think it's commendable that people are trying to find a middle ground instead of giving away absolutely everything.

> Would it be worse to invest the money in a way that employs people fairly even if makes a profit for yourself? I don't think so

Almost everyone invests their money in productive businesses, simply by investing in the stock market. Heck, that's what most people do with their trust funds and riches. Choosing to give it away to charity definitely seems more noble.

Your overall tone appears to be very snarky and condescending towards people who haven't done anything to deserve it. It it motivated by envy? I can understand you not wanting to shower them with plaudits, but at least we could reserve judgement until they do something that's worthy of condescension.
Because its financial viability as a mode of employment is largely rooted in social norms and social disapproval sufficiently blocking flood of competition. Outside of a few high priced call girls in an elite network, prostitution pays because we (collectively) look askance at it.
It seems almost inherent to the process. I don't read or write journal articles. But I'm sometimes asked to be a reviewer on a book proposal and I fairly frequently review docs of various types at work.

If I'm just one peripheral person on a long list I might read quickly through and say "Looks fine to me." But if I'm really reviewing something, I almost feel that I'm expected to at least find some nit-picks--as well as anything really substantial of course. It's pretty rare that I will be "No comments" on a first-pass review.

In fact it only appears on one branch of the Northern line. But you can get to it from either direction on that branch.

Train nerds will doubtless be fascinated that geographically it's on the east of the other branch, but on tube maps it's shown on the line to the west.

There are some complicated track crossings in the area and it's easier - and more useful - to keep the branches straight on the tube map than to show what's really happening underground.
Replace chicken with steak? In my experience, it's not necessarily the perceived healthiness of foods (chicken == healthy, steak == unhealthy), it's the carbohydrate amounts.

When I was in my 20's, I was relatively "hard core" about lifting weights and training. I weighed every meal, brought my own meals to cookouts, estimated macros as best I could. I was pretty obsessed with it all. As a result, I tried every diet out there, multiple times.

What I keep coming back to is low carb. By that I mean: Tons of broccoli, lettuce, cauliflower, zucchini, nuts (almonds and pecans primarily), fish, and beef. Plus, hard cheeses like Parmesan and Romano.

It's not hard to make these meals delicous. And, interestingly enough, I get "run down and depressed" when I don't eat this way. It's weird to admit that I crave vegetables like I would a piece of pizza. But, if we go out of town for a few days, and eat out a lot, I completely do.
Just another short term flash sale. Despite being from MIT this is a low prestige journal.
First off, that is a serious struggle, I'm sorry you're going through that. I hope you find a balance that works for you.

Second, I would like to ban the phrase "eat healthy" from the popular consciousness. It's nonsense. You can't eat healthy. You can be healthy, and you can eat healthy foods. What are healthy foods? Foods that have calories and won't poison you. That's a big category.

When I think of "healthy" veggies and chicken, I think of a pot with raw veggies and chicken breast steamed until they're cooked, with a bit of salt and pepper. Incredibly unappetizing, very bland. I don't care how fat I am, I would never waste my time or money eating something like that. I'd rather eat a candy bar, which would be about the same calories.

Your weight is defined by the number of calories you consume and burn. If you eat 1200 calories of veggies and chicken, your weight goes up. If you eat 500 calories of olive oil, garlic, onions, tomatoes, basil, oregano, sweet potato, hot sauce, and lemon-garlic-yogurt marinated chicken in a toasted pita, your weight goes up less. The latter tastes a hell of a lot better than the former, and you didn't gain weight. But it has oil and yogurt and bread, so some people don't consider it "healthy".

It is definitely hard to begin eating smaller portions, but I guarantee that if you improve the flavor of your foods, choose a variety of recipes, and keep the overall calories down, you can eat delicious, satisfying meals and lose weight. I also highly recommend cold-brewed drinks over soda, which you can carbonate yourself. I make overnight cold brewed tea and coffee, veggie-flavored waters, and fresh juices.

If they're giving away money effectively because they're guilty that seems fine.

While they could give away more if they sold that loft, the important thing is that they are giving away most of the trust. There needs to be a story they tell themselves where giving makes sense for them. If keeping the loft is part of that story, then it seems better to focus persuasion efforts on the people who aren't giving at all.
Had Cameron taken this approach, things could have worked out OK for the UK. Every one of those involved renegotiation and change of treaties before a re-vote.

The timeline could have been:

Cameron attempts to renegotiate with EU, achieves little.

Calls a referendum, leave achieves a very narrow margin.

Cameron doesn't resign, but attempts to renegotiate with the EU, achieves some small but significant improvements.

Second referendum, this time for remain.

UK and Cameron would still have some reputation.
> Obesity should automatically put a person into a different risk/cost pool for health insurance

That already happens, though.

> I'm tired of subsidizing people who are so intent on harming themselves

Fair point, however you also subsidize smokers, drug addicts, etc.

I find your comment to be overly negative, instead of trying to solve the problem your propose to punish people financially, which won't work for two reasons, one of which is that poor people on average weigh more, and second is that you will reinforce bad behavior (i.e. overeating) and conspiracy theories that the world is out to get fat people.

My opinion is that a significat number of people who are overweight have a psychiatric condition, that can either directly cause overeating, or indirectly (i.e. medication such as antipsychotics, including "modern" ones like aripiprazole, drastically increase appetite).

As a fat person myself, I find it helpful to criticize obesity, as a complete fat-acceptness state of society would be very harmful. However, please, do not settle on punishment that at most could benefit normal-weight people financially, as we do with the justice system.
Instead, try education and constructive criticism. Also, some fat people need healthcare to be able to lose weight -- like me (Coushing's disease).

Had your plan to deny me health insurance (by making it too expensive) been implemented, I would not only be fat forever, it would ruin both my life, lives of people around me (a stupid example: people in a bus being uncomfortably close to a obese person who is simply too large), and in the end achieve nothing.

As a software developer, I can provide more value to the society alive and healthy than sick and possibly dead, even including the additional cost of health insurance, adrenal gland surgery and medications and care.

Think before you ostracize. What you're proposing is not healthy and helpful criticism, it's a totalitarian conspiracy against a group of people, some of whom need your help.
And, in addition, one can use one's stereoscopic vision with a mirror. Even if that does not provide much information about vehicle distance and speed (though it feels to me as though it does), a screen gives false stereoscopic information.
Society was not forced at gunpoint to buy cigarettes either, but with masterful marketing, corporations exploded cigarette smoking from 100/capita/day in 1910 to 5000/capita/day in 1960.

Humans are not random decision-making machines. The ease of manipulating our consumption decisions is well documented. If you think your decisions aren't affected by external manipulations, it just means you haven't noticed.
Whether it is accurate in absolute terms is less interesting than what it reports in differing trends. Every indicator that it reports is vastly higher on the days when I am not in the office, chained to my desk. Just being on my feet, walking back and forth all day, up and down and round and round, is a night and day difference.
It's obviously not magic. In practice, I find this feature difficult to use due to the distribution of ssh keys necessary to be practical.
