As a European whose only familiarity with inches is that "it's about 3cm" that actually annoys me.

Back when screens were small it sort of worked, I knew what 13", 15", 17" and 20" screens looked like. Since most monitors fell in that range (yeah, I'm showing my age) that was good enough. Anything bigger than that was "damn huge", anything smaller was "damn small".

But now monitors and especially TVs are immense. I see TVs with diagonals of 30", 55", 65"... That means absolutely nothing to me. I have to convert into centimeters for it to make sense. Fortunately some resellers do put the metric measurement next to the inches, but not everybody does it.

Also, some of the CSS and JS hatred is piffle. Publishers absolutely abuse these languages and it gets pretty bad on news websites especially.

Moreover, I appreciate nicely designed and competently implemented experiences on the modern web.

I have no interest in trading the modern web - warts and all - for some spartan plaintext utopia.
Seasonal fluctuations in energy production are more extreme in far northern and southern latitudes. Which just so happens to be where the majority of energy consumption is located.

The amount of energy storage required even to just handle the daily duck curve is staggering. To put this in perspective, the US consumed 11.5TWh of electricity daily. Global lithium ion battery production is 300GWh per year.

Until some truly groundbreaking storage mechanism gets developed, renewables have difficulty providing more than 40-50% of energy demand.

Lots of these people are folkish. They aren't suppremacists. They want other cultures to be strong and folkish too because it allows them the same privilege. Its folkish nationalism.
It’s really unfortunate to see such an unchallenged application of the label “libertarian” here. Put aside your own feelings for a moment.

Highlighting any connection between libertarianism with the alt-right, white supremacy, or anti-government militias seems as disingenuous as the superficial connection between atheism and fascist communism.

In either case, does the ideology overlap in convenient areas (to the negative ideologies), yes, probably. It’s easier to command absolute fealty of the state without god in the way. It’s easier to preach radical, violent white supremacist anarcho-capitalism with the state out of the picture. But does libertarianism espouse, promote, or a natural evolution that ends in The Boogaloo? Absolutely not, and it’s ridiculous for a journalist not to ask and answer those questions.

I ran into a fascinating paper published in the 1950's by a Norwegian group who ran a pilot plant to electrowin iron from iron-sulfide waste from a copper mine. They claimed something like 4-5 kwh per kg. Unlike electrowining aluminum it's a room temp aqueous process. My thought is, it's probably economic if you have access to intermittent sources of really cheap electricity.
The units were already defined in relation to metric units (officially through the Medenhall Order in the US though the OWM had officiously been doing that for some time, officiously through the Weights and Measures Act of 1897 in the UK as while it defined the meter in terms of yard, as the precision of the meter increased the yard followed rather than led), but different countries used slightly different conversion factors.

Hence international inches, not metric inches.

I had a similar realization several years ago. We were sailing across the Atlantic. Water for 2-4 weeks with a crew of 5 is at a premium. Even our last stop in Cape Verde the yacht club showers charged per liter. So some habits dropped off out of necessity. 30 minute wash and shampoo one of them. By the time we got to the Caribbean not only were my tips blonde from the sun my scalp felt and roots felt different. Springy and wavy, not matted and oily.

It was an interesting transition as my scalp righted itself. It was greasy the first few weeks. My scalp compensating for the loss of natural oils during the habitual shampooing by producing more. And then it found a new normal producing just the right amount after a bath in the deep blue Atlantic waters.

Since I’m now in the hard I wash my hair weekly. Using organic soaps like a patchouli scented hippy. Like nature intended.

The way I understood that passage, soldiers were expecting to lose around 30% of their flour in the deal, but some bakers figured out they could take a larger cut by adding more water.

It is mostly constructed of stamped sheet metal and toasters to this day primarily use nichrome heating elements. The lever arm mechanism is probably the most difficult part, but I saw nothing in this construction that would be toxic. The original design is ungrounded and wouldn't pass safety certification, but there is even a linked video for how to modify the old Sunbeams to use a 3-prong cord.

To me, the beauty of this design is that these toasters apparently work for decades because they were well-designed to accommodate the tolerances of the materials and construction methods and they are essentially purely mechanical.

There are a number of expensive automatic toasters available that utilize some combination of sensor and motor to raise and lower bread. They all seem to have mediocre reviews. I don't think these are necessarily inferior in design to the 1950s Sunbeam, but unlike the appliances of that era they are built to be disposable. A Chinese clone of a Sunbeam Automatic Toaster would also probably be a failure because it would be built to maximize profit on a 2 year lifespan...
>Something that can be objectively stated, without judgement.

You can't always find the objective truth. Was Trump _really_ joking when he suggested people drink bleach? You can conclude with reasonable certainty that he was or wasn't based on his previous patterns of action or whatever, but the only way to truly know what he meant is to be him. And your interpretation of his previous actions will necessarily be incomplete: there's always going to be something that you don't know about that could potentially change your interpretation, and each event in his history that you base your interpretation on will have to be analyzed with the same amount of rigor. It's possibly for a person to perform this analysis, that's a biographer's entire job, but to do it for every person in current events, for every situation, for every conflict and incident is impossible.

So yes, there is an objective truth, but you can't always be certain that you know it. If you're not dedicating your entire career to analyzing one thing then you'll have to rely on heuristics, and those heuristics will be built on top of your knowledge and analysis of past things which are also based on heuristics, which are based on more heuristics, etc. Those heuristics, the way you analyze and interpret events, are only as important as the information available to you for you to build upon. If your primary source of information is Fox News then your heuristics will be that of course the President was joking, but if your heuristics are based on information from HuffPo then you'll come to the opposite conclusion. If you want to reject your heuristics and find the truth based on first principles, or at least come as close to the truth as possible, you'll need to do quite a bit of research into the issue, and by the time you've finished there'll be another five things the President has said for you to find the truth of.

It's simply impossible to determine the truth of current events without using heuristics and avoid falling behind, but those heuristics are based on known truth only indirectly. Does there exist an objective truth? Yes, but it can't be found in a reasonable amount of time. It's much more important to focus on the heuristics people use to determine truth for themselves.

Postscript: algorithmic newsfeeds that optimize for engagement are optimizing for inevitable unconcious biases, confirmation bias in particular, and are great for biasing your heuristics unfairly. I'm not saying the truth is always somewhere in the middle, but I am saying that if your heuristics are always skewed to one side you won't be able to recognize when your heuristics are leading you astray and when the truth is in fact in the middle or even the other side. If you get anything out of this, at least try to figure out what echo chambers you're in and look outside of them.
Most adults in the UK still measure their weight in stones and pounds, at least in my personal experience, and I have never come across anyone (except those raised in other countries) using either plain pounds or metric units for this purpose.

I actually work with underwater ROVs, and in general, I think that this sort of a thing is a long way away. For one, most vehicles that small use an onboard battery, and it is really easy to burn that capacity if there's even a slight current. Plus, cables themselves have a large amount of drag, which means that for any distance, the thrusters that can move an ROV under short-distance conditions quickly become under-powered as any flow takes that cable.

Even if they could be fully autonomous, there's still a bunch of issues, since caves in general and submerged ones in particular are GPS-denied environments. Acoustics like USBL equipment probably wouldn't work in a cave, instances of underwater VSLAM are still pretty nascent, and inertial navigation system with a low-enough error accumulation rate are almost universally export-controlled by their respective countries.

It's definitely an interesting problem, though, and I honestly think that progress in the area is going to be made because folks that aren't experts in caving end up getting interested in it. For example, I'd imagine this kind of a problem is something that space agencies are also really interested in, since there's a lot room in the middle of their respective Venn diagrams.

Check my math:

Say a fueling station needs to serve (only) 100 cars per day, providing 50kWh per car. That's 200kW average generation power needed. Ballpark, a 1 m2 solar panel can generate 200kWh/year, or 23W average. (quora answer, 2018). You need .. really? 9100 m2 of area, which is .91 hectare or 2.25 US acres.

A 200kW per day (73000kWh/year) wind turbine might stand 25m tall. (uk wind energy report, 2014) Will these function in suburban to urban settings? Would they be accepted by the public? In the US, siting rules are a mess, but one example I found called for 2500 feet (760+m) distance to property line and 1.5 times turbine height to overhead utility lines. (NCSL, 2016)

Given these fairly large size requirements, unless I slipped some decimal points, it doesn't seem likely to work out.

>> Where to walk is also a cultural thing.

In NYC (especially in certain parts of NYC of all the places I've been) it is not only a cultural thing but a power-cultural thing. Some people "expect" others to move out of their way, often taking extra space on a sideways or purposefully walking so you need to bunch up against a wall (or jump temporarily into the road.) I've even had someone scold me (while I had right of way on the right side) for not being more courteous.

You can only imagine the sort of behaviors some of these people exhibit in their offices when there is a real hierarchy or power dynamic.
