I live in a city. I do understand that people in rural areas need reliable trucks.

I think that most people would prefer a short walk to work. You can stop at a local shop and buy groceries on the way home. Stop at the coffee shop on the way in. This is the life that most people should be advocating for.

I feel that electric vehicles are a suburban dream. That you can have your suburb, and not feel bad about all the driving that you're doing. It's green washing.
Njalla is not a domain registrar.

They buy the domain themselves, and let you pay with Dogecoins -- possibly a good deal for the next Pirate Bay, but not what I would use for general domain registration. There is a good chance one day they will go down and take your (their!) domain with them.

From their website:

We're not actually a domain name registration service, we're a customer to these.

When you buy a domain in our system, we're actually purchasing it for ourselves. We will be the actual owners of the domain.

More directly, Thatcher was also responsible for a litany of crimes, including murder and torture, and human rights abuses against her own citizens in Northern Ireland.

Although Thatcher is hated by swaths of UK society (which turns out to exist after all), there is in Great Britain in general an ignorance or blindness to crimes committed by the State against their own citizenry.

What makes it especially weird is that (at least for now - while electric cars are still expensive) putting in chargers will make a big competitive advantage, and a very right kind of it - by attracting wealthier, more responsible tenants that make building a good image, attracting other better tenants and driving up prices... It's a big win for any building.
The chief designer of the Soviet space program, Sergei Korolev, was imprisoned on false charges and sentenced to slave labor. This sentence was later reduced to 'merely' eight years in a sharashka, a labor camp for scientists. That's the way to do it: first, show the victim how bad it really can be, then reduce the sentence and the severity, but only on cooperation and good behavior. "Produce or you go back to the mines to die horribly".
In a totalitarian regime the stick goes a long way.

But space x work in spite of the nasa system... could you dream of nasa celebrating SN8 plowing into the ground as a raging success... it’s a huge cultural shift, not so much driven by private sector competition (Honestly who competes with space x?), more to do with leadership style.

What uses are you talking about?

As far as I understand it suppliers are generally more than happy for you to use more of their electrons and don't particularly care what you use them for.

One thing that I do think will change over the next few years, helped by smart meters is that we'll see more time of use based pricing, and that with renewables on the rise (and their associated intermittency) at some point we'll see the traditional night rate cheaper than day rate equation flip.

By being able to measure consumption at a higher resolution it's possible to offer pricing that is reflective of the "true cost" of the energy, eg: agile tariffs that we see emerging from companies like octopus in the UK

Personally I think this is good for consumers, and good for the environment as it allows for incentivising consumption when the energy is greener/cheaper.

There is certainly an element of concern over privacy (eg detecting activity in a home), however I would posit that internet usage patterns probably already provide the same data and of course with far worse privacy implications.

IMO it's a strange misinterpretation of his work to think he's a conspiracy theorist. I think it is undeniable that every era has an ideology that captures the zeitgeist of the times, I think Curtis just explores the origins of those ideologies and what motivated their progenitors, he is not alleging they had shadowy plans for world domination...
> rewrite to avoid it.

(Not disagreeing with your post, just discussing a complication.)

Looking at this thread and how people are (respectfully) pointing fingers at each others (and their own) arguments, it seems clear to me that avoiding such arguments is generally hard.

When you want to support or illustrate an assertion you make with an example, the example will virtually never apply to everything the assertion covers. Often it might not even be possible to find an example that covers the majority of some group/trend/phenomenon (or know what constitutes a majority in the first place).

Maybe this means to be more judicious in making general statements (probably not a bad idea). But in some respects, for example a trend among recent occurrences of something, you have nothing but isolated events to discuss in the first place. Even if there is some objective quality behind it, requiring yourself to never refer to individual data points (as that could be construed as weak-manning) might make it impossible to get at the core of it. And that's before going into how your arguments are perceived.

And yes, the above is intentionally (overly) general. Examples would help illustrating the argument, but are immediately subject to weak-manning. I wonder what others think on this.
It's surprising that the authors, as well-credentialed as they are, don't explain the basis for their rationale that the relevant executive order was the cause of the loss in valuation. It's a bit hackneyed but correlation does not imply causation.

I used to have that attitude and approach, but since adopting a severely restricted approach I'm finding Twitter to be a valuable source of information and resources. By simply "not using Twitter" you are deciding that the potential for resources and information is out-weighed by the effort in using it constructively.

That's a choice to make, and I can see why you and others would make that choice. I've chosen to take advantage of the resource that is the carefully filtered and curated Twitter feed. The posted article shows one way to make that possible.

In tech at least, H1-B visa seekers can work from their home countries. They don't need to be in the US to work from home. The program is viewed not as a temporary measure but a pathway to US residency. McKinsey tells companies to outsource and offshore, but the same companies want to see faces at desks. The pandemic means you're not going to see faces at desks anyway. Let these eager workers contribute to these companies from their homes overseas.

Author here. These are some great points. One reason my underwear shirts don't last as long is that I sweat quite a lot. I typically have to divest these shirts not due to wear, but due to them not looking nor feeling fresh anymore. This has led me to seek out the shirts that maximize use considering this. These are shirts that can take a hot washing and that withstand my kind of wear better.

I should clearly try out those Mack Weldon shirts.

Sure. But I would believe social media exasperates this.

With social media, you're not just showing how brave you are with a stupid dare compared to a few of your friends, but competing against the most dangerous thing you've seen.
This comment really sums things up thank you
Brave is based on Chrome (Chromium / Blink) and Google has deliberaely crippled ad-blocking extensions for it:

- https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-still-plans-to-cripple-...

- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338

So you will get a sub-par ad-blocking / anti-tracking experience on Chrome or any of its clones like Brave or Vivaldi.
Second this. Developing in Docker completely liberated me from the caprice of Python packaging and Node dependency management and made doing development work on multiple platforms (MacOS, Ubuntu) frictionless.

There’s a “pets vs cattle” angle here, too. Something goes wrong, just pave over it and start again.

YMMV, of course, but I can’t imagine going back.

I'm sorry, are you claiming people posting porn on Twitter are being 'bullied' by 'malicious reporters'? when Twitter themselves can't even trace the origin of the pornographic material posted on their platform, when they legally have to since it's not covered by safe harbor laws at first place? Who the hell are you kidding?
This is usually what's missing from people criticizing Curtis. It's a form of superficiality where people feel that they don't need to look further into the subjects before drawing fundamental conclusions. I've spoken to so many people that loudly proclaim that Curtis' work is just conspiracy theory, totally oblivious of the instagram level of depth such a conclusion requires.

It would be great with a solid text to go along his films. For now I would urge everyone who get that uncanny feeling after watching Curtis' work to read up on the subjects covered. I promise you that feeling will go away!
As if some sizable chunk of “unarmed” person shot/killed by police aren’t going for the police officer’s gun or in some other way aggressively resisting arrest.

The police are woefully undertrained as it is, it is unreasonable to expect them to also be bare knuckle boxing champs or BBJ black belts. If the police officer is knocked out, then it is reasonable for them to assume they will be killed with their own service revolver.

Do you speak German? In Dubai, most people do not speak Arabic. English is not only the lingua franca, it is the only way to get around. In Germany many people speak German, but the language of business, of community and the street is German. Yes, there's an English-only expat scene, but then you're living in a ghetto.
And the more a country develops, the more resources they consume per capita. One individual in a developed country consumes orders of magnitude more than one in a less developed country.

FB skews conservative in content because that's who uses and invests in it, not who staffs it (primarily coastal, urban elites).

I think there should be a lot more to this. Like having a choice how long my bounty can stay up (in months maybe, minimum 6). Receive an email after that time to remind me. Show in each issue how much of the bounty is up for how much longer for sure.

Add an RSS feed and weekly newsletter where I can subscribe to see new additions for a specific language.

It is not clear who is holding the bounties while waiting for issues to be resolved? It is not clear what fees are involved? How is this platform financed?

Author here. Granted, absolutely. I think you have a great point. I understand this might seem downright neurotic. While I really am into numbers, or rather, finding out how things really work, to me, this has been more about learning R properly and doing so in a context of both novelty and perhaps some degree of relevance. In a way it has been my tinkering hobby to take my thoughts off the wicked problems I deal with at work.

But you're absolutely right that this has taken some accumulated amount of effort to build. If I had done this as a consulting project, it would have cost something like two decades worth of clothes. So as a total investment, hardly worth the while. But I would to think that perhaps something good comes out of this way of looking at it.

Now I'm in a way done and find that I look for the next thing to fill that new void in my mental real estate.

Don't know if the new regulation is just following the tech, if it's too little too late, etc...

Will they follow them as strongly as they (unfortunately) did with the SUVs ?

Frightening is the power of the sales department. Wonder if this will be "democratized" at some point.
How does delivery work? Is it by car or by bike? At fixed times or on demand?

Since the pandemic started here, the local library has partnered with bicycle couriers for delivery of books. They even worked out a way to be subsidized by the city to make delivery more affordable for the customers. This is in Germany though, and our denser cities seem to be more suited to bike couriers than sprawling American cities might be.
I don’t think so. Attempt the opposite experience: If you turn the motor, electricity comes out. So I don’t know what is the draw when stalling but I guess the draw must vary a lot even inside a north/south cycle.

In fact, the draw varies enough during the cycle that it’s a well known method in industrial ecology to put a condenser on a 60Hz motors when the supply is 50Hz. So there must be a visible cycle.

> This is like crusading against people using their clothes dryer, driving when they don't absolutely need to, turning on A/C when they could just put on a sweater, not to mention all the industrial and commercial energy expenditures producing bullshit we don't need. From where you sit, look around your room and contemplate the incredible energy expended to get these items where they are.

You didn'tconsider that the things you have listed cost money. There is an incentive to reduce them to the absolute minimum because you would go broke if you leased commercial property and put 200 clothes dryers running 24/7.

Mining bitcoin is a profitable activity. You can afford to do that. The price of bitcoin dictates how profitable mining is. The higher the bitcoin price and transaction fees the higher the margins and that means you can buy more miners and thus waste more energy. There is no limit to how much energy can be wasted. Every time you think this is an insane amount of energy it can always get worse. Right now it is only at approximately 80 TWh. In 10 years it could be at 300 TWh. In 20 years it could be 1000TWh. There is no reason why this shouldn't happen.

Bitcoin doubled multiple times in the last decade. The value of a bitcoin could easily outpace the reduction in block reward.

EMV (chip/contactless) credit cards are capable of working without an internet connection, including PIN or device-based verification. Transactions get stored/batched on the payment terminal until the connection is available again.

EV chargers often still require internet, however, as payment is via app or their own RFID card/dongle. Putting credit card readers directly on the chargers is a relatively recent (and not yet universal) improvement.

Another reason for internet is so that chargers can report their availability status. In-car navigation or charging apps can direct you to locations with available chargers, avoiding ones that are fully occupied or out of service.
In Norway if you have a parking spot at an apartment block and want a charging station to be installed the housing association can't deny your request. At least when you're the home owner (the vast majority of Norwegians owns rather than rents). Not completely sure how things are for renters, but electric cars are so common at this point that most landlords will probably allow it if only to raise the value of their place.
