Yeah, I did consider some surgeries like an epidydymectomy (the doctors though that was where my pain was coming from). Fortunately it did slowly resolve itself and I didn't have to do that.

I hope your pain resolves itself soon. It just sucks so much to have to deal with this.

why does it apply to 2nd or 3rd homes?

It’s an easy policy challenge. Let the person carry the tax until a sale. Or they can carry it until death. It should not pass to kids and the tax assessment is taken at the final sale.

Land costs are indeed an immense issue. The exact figure of how much land needs to be covered in solar panels varies depending on inclination with the sun and weather.Its not too bad for countries like Australia that have reliable sunlight and plenty of land. But much of the energy consumption occurs closer to the poles, and with more frequent obscuration of the sun from weather. And these countries are typically much more population dense. Dedicating several percentages of the landmass of a dense country is indeed a substantial cost. And this isn't even getting into the require immense amounts of energy storage. We have 5 minutes worth of hydroelectric storage relative to our average 11.5 TWh daily electricity consumption. But hydroelectric is geographically dependent and hard to scale. We only have 10 seconds worth of battery storage, about 1 Gigawatt hour.

It's incorrect to say that countries never go all in on one energy source. Norway generates almost all of it's electricity from hydroelectricity. Iceland generates the overwhelming majority from geothermal. And France generates the lion's share of it's electricity from nuclear power. The last of these three is geographically independent.

Sure, Norway and Iceland probably don't have to build a single nuclear plant. Nor would some states like Vermont and Washington that have extensive hydroelectric generation. But other geographies can only make do with fossil fuels. Intermittent sources can mitigate this, but we'll always need a solution to fill in the duck curve until we either make a breakthrough in energy storage or some other carbon free form of energy. But we already have another form of carbon free energy, and one that is already working for other countries.
FYI, Zoom is getting built-in automated live captions very soon. It will be produced by Otter.ai, which already produces the recording transcriptions. With 3rd party live captions, there’s an option to see all the text in a sidebar so I assume it will also be possible with their automated live captions.

I should have been clear with my response that I accept and agree with your criticism of my post.

#2: Says quite the opposite of what you claim.

It details a story of someone accused of faking COVID19, ending with: "Finally, after contacting a Stanford Blood Center program seeking donations of plasma from recovered patients, Talkington took an antibody test — and it was positive, indicating that she had previously been infected with the coronavirus. 'It was very emotional to finally have validation, I sat down and cried for an hour,' said Talkington. The positive antibody test also cleared the way for her to get a cardiology referral, she said."

There's little accurate statistics about how common or rare it is, but most point to pretty common. Anecdotally, plenty of in my extended circle who got COVID19 had extended symptoms. Non-anecdotally, Wikipedia cites studies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Covid

It looks to be about 2.2% of COVID19 are hit with long COVID. Studies show between 1/3 and a majority of people hospitalized for COVID19 show long COVID. That's not very very rare. That's hundreds of thousands of Americans, and millions worldwide.

There is also increasing evidence around mechanisms.

I'm not sure why the denialism about COVID19. "It's just a flu." "It will be gone by Easter."

Yes, it's a serious disease.

And yes, there are plenty of ways to keep safe, so once we know that, there's a lot we can do. Staying safe ain't rocket science.

"economy collapsing" - what I'm seeing is demand leaving businesses that were habitual or not truly necessary. For example: work from home -> spend less on transport, spend less on mobile food, company spends less on office space.

Regrettably there's transition pain for workers in abandoned sectors but other sectors will grow out of this (e.g. deliveries/home office equipping/remote work centres).

This transformation of what work entails, to its essentials, with less office face time, will benefit civilization at large in the long run (Antifragile).

I support financially assisting & retraining displaced workers through this transformation, and am against "bailing out" obsoleted corporate entities.

Thanks for the kind words! This process is actually the work of a bunch of folks, and the result of quite a bit of iteration at Oxide. The difference between ideation and prediscussion is both the maturity of the idea and its ownership: an RFD in ideation will be very loose (and, to my earlier comment, the kind of thing that one might find historically on a Wiki) and without an owner per se. It's essentially a way of trying to create a yet-lighter kind of document for things that are very primordial. We haven't used it too much, but all of this is still pretty young, and over time I would expect more ideation RFDs.

As for the typos: thank you! Fixed them in both the RFD and in our blog post!

There actually isn't more flu than Covid. This year, so far, flu is quite exceptionally rare. The social distancing measures for Covid work for flu too.

Australia is down from 61,000 confirmed cases of flu last year, to just around a hundred confirmed cases. It's too early to tell in the Northern Hemisphere, but so far, things look really promising.

We just might have a winter without the normal sniffles of colds on flus.

That’s not “caring about you too much”. It’s not knowing what’s appropriate.

> you end up with a lot of items not moving when they should, since the cell in front of them is still full even though it'll empty later this tick.

That's actually not as big a problem as you'd expect. You would end up with 1-tick gaps, but at 60 ticks-per-second, those kinds of gaps don't end up being an issue, especially when you've got a backed-up buffer that has some natural hysteresis waiting to fill that gap.

> And what would you do if you want the entirely full loop to not jam? It sounds possible, probably even simple, but I haven't seen how.

Compute the graph of connectivity at entity construction, precompute a topological iteration order, and handle each strongly-connected component as an individual entity. Or maybe you could do it with merely a list of elementary cycles; it would take some work to figure out what you want the semantics of loop motion to be if a belt is in multiple loops.
Yup, I have TOS too. It's not too painful for me, but prevents me from lifting my arms for more than a minute or so. So far I've avoided most of the other common complications besides POTS and nerve stuff, and I've been managing okay with lots of PT and bracing.

I get cluster headaches (as part of a larger pain condition). The easiest way I can think of describing it is that it starts out feeling sort of like a painful headache on one side of your head, that rapidly becomes more painful and _never stops_. The attacks can last literally months (My attacks tend to be 2-months long, two or three times a year).

The nickname of "suicide headache" is absolutely earned. Your face contains some of the most painful nerves in your body. Light them all up like a christmas tree, and keep it lit for months. Drive an icepick into your eye and keep that pain there for months. There is no escape. The pain can and will drive you from sleep, and there is basically no pain medication that will do anything noticeable.

I would never wish this upon anyone. Friend or foe.

---

All that being said, pain is a deeply personal thing. If your migraines are putting you in the worst pain that you know, then that's the very worst thing that you know. Coping with it means that you're dealing, and deserve sympathy, and understanding.

I don't get migraines, never have, so I don't understand what it's like. You have my sympathy for it. I am sorry that you suffer is this way, and I wish that it wasn't something that you consider part of your normal. I wish there was something I could do to ease your pain. Your living with it, is something to be proud of.

Most common in post menopausal women with an autoimmune disorder such as diabetes or thyroid problem. i.e. not me but I got it anyway.

You "recover" when your body stops recognizing the soft tissue around your shoulder as the enemy and it has a chance to heal. For most it takes 9-18 months (per shoulder) and stops when it does regardless of physical therapy. The one thing that seems to help is a cortisone shot _early_ which seems to knock about three months off the the disease's course. Shots later do not have the same effect.

Logically it is an auto immune response, to what I have no clue. Starts like any strain you don't quite remember how you got and just keeps getting worse.

If you get it in one shoulder you are very likely to get it in the other. But you are more likely to recognize it early and get that cortisone shot.

> So if you build enough nuclear power to fill in the gap in the duck curve, then you could just run those plants all day and ditch renewables.

If you build enough nuclear power to fill the gap in the duck curve without storage, and remove fossil fuels, you're basically running entirely nuclear and hydro, and mostly nuclear. You end up building almost double the amount of capacity that you actually use, because you need e.g. 100GW for the peak load in the evening but only 50GW for twelve hours overnight.

That doesn't seem likely to be cheaper than using storage for only the differential load in the evening. But once you have storage there isn't any good reason not to use cheap solar for the daytime load differential, and to provide the energy to charge the storage for later in the day.
It IS an either-or situation. Nuclear is terrible for backing up renewables. We don't need a diversified portfolio, we need a sufficiently reliable portfolio at minimum cost. This will likely involve no new nuclear plants; they're too expensive.

> And I’ve got an email from Riot that they banned someone I’d reported in Valorant, so they don’t do nothing. I don’t think either of us have enough evidence to know whether it’d be better or worse without the CoC.

To the contrary, it's pretty easy to deduce that the CoC had nothing to do with the ban of the player you reported. Do you genuinely believe that a "CoC enforcement committee" sat down to review demos of the reported player and analyze whether their actions constituted CoC violations? No, that process is reserved for political enemies and occasional power trips. The ban was almost certainly a result of an automated process. For example, in CS:GO, if a player receives significantly more abuse reports than average, they will be muted by default. No human review is involved. I imagine the Valorant ban is something similar, because there is no way Riot could afford to pay actual humans to go through these reports.
Land costs are not a big issue, especially when looking at the world as a whole. In much of the US, for example, the cost of putting solar equipment on some land is nearly two orders of magnitude higher than the cost of the land itself. If a country is land constrained, then in an era of cheap solar they'll lose heavy industry to other countries with more land.

If land cost ever did become significant globally for renewables then renewables will have already slaughtered the competition, by being cheaper by a huge factor.

> Regardless how expensive it get, it won't burn tons of fossil fuels.

Maybe it won’t be a lot once built, but fuel extraction and processing are energy intensive. Also, 10 years of construction and the vast quantity of steel and concrete are going to burn one hell of a lot of fossil fuel.

It would be interesting to compare the lifetime fossil fuel usage of all power generators, including construction and disposal (and waste storage).

> cost associated with constructing such proofs ... is too high

People assume this is true because it has been repeated endlessly. I think it is an issue of granularity. For example; both Dijkstra's GCL and Hoare's Triples (fine granularity) vs. Meyer's DbC (coarse granularity) can be expressed using Assertions to build Preconditions/Postconditions/Invariants as "correctness proof" throughout a real-world software system. But their systematic usage is never taught nor enforced; we have to learn it by trial and error.
I think you need to cool down.

We live in a complex world. Some of us know the health side well a lot of us don't. Then we get an issue, like I had a heart attack and stents, and besides what the doctors and the family say, we read and read and read. And then when we see all the healthcare industry is trying to do is to make money from our sickness, when we see a friend in similar or really tangential pain, we try to help based on our experiences. That is life. I have offered my (unsolicited) help and knowing my condition some people have also seemed my help. That is again life.

What you and I need are skills to move on if not interested, but blaming people for trying to help in a social setting is probably not the right way to look at it. Apologies for being blunt.
I don't think so. You lived there for a number of years and you already paid fair taxes and when you bought the property you knew what the taxes are going to be and that allowed you to plan your life. People who are buying it now also know what their taxes are going to be now, and they should thank you for your share of the taxes that you paid over the years to keep community in good shape.
If it was produced initially from an animal, there's still harm done, although I'd argue it's infinitely small compared to what it achieves. There's also the fact that many vegan people try not to purchase vegan products if they come from a "non-vegan company". So if a meat producer also starts peddling tofu, vegans will buy from a different brand simply so they don't line the pockets of the meat or dairy industry. With the way things are going, I'd imagine the first to achieve lab-grown top-quality meat would be an agricultural/farm corporation, which wouldn't sit well with many vegans.

Another hack. Claim residency in another state or country. Voila your personal income tax for the property disappears and you can live in the home for one day less than six months out of the year. This proposal would be a vacation home rebate. In fact, just keep buying vacation homes. The people stuck living there year round would be screwed.

Another hack. Buy the biggest parcel you can find. Then you can build a huge home and pay the same taxes as the 800 square foot bungalow. Build a bunch of huge vacation homes. The help have to pay for the services. You don’t.

Yet another hack. Build a house and rent it out on AirBnB. That way you only pay the parcel tax and NO ONE pays the income tax. Genius. It’s a discount to run an AirBnB. Better raise the hotel tax to compensate.
