Regulated suppliers operate somewhat differently than deregulated suppliers. 1. Regulated suppliers have rules around how much a rate can change, and those rate changes have to be approved by their respective PUC. This limits the sticker shock. 2. Regulated suppliers do this in exchange for a guaranteed profit for their distribution side (they have a government approved local monopoly). They also tend to be the biggest supplier since they are usually the default supplier. Because of this, these companies have both more cash on hand and more ability to borrow in case of a cash crunch caused by issues like this. They also have a tendency to be better about hedging for circumstances like this.

Basically the regulated suppliers will probably see some rate increases but they will be more gradual and certainly won't be as wild as rate increases by deregulated suppliers.

PS deregulated supplier is a bit of a misnomer. They are still regulated by the state Public Utility Commission, but they are less regulated than the utilities that also do distribution.

Same here, stopping to smoke was really easy but my candy addiction is real hard. It's like day and night for me. I struggle and have been struggling in not eating candy for years (or at least a lot less) but I have failed each time.

I think different substances are differently addictive to people.
I haven’t actually bought or even used any illegal drugs at all, my point was just that I don’t think a lot of people will be inspired by an article like this to try heroin, unless they were already considering it.

Most people that fall into heavy addiction are probably driven there more by chaotic circumstances than intellectual considerations.
Some offerings like GMail, Search, and YouTube are viewed as safe. Others I think are likely avoided more. And probably end up a self fulfilling prophecy. No one uses it because it will be killed, so its killed because no one uses it.

It is certainly a hinderance to the adoption of their cloud services. They have not yet shown they are in it for the long haul.
This is really going overboard personal freedom. It reminds me of arguments like Clinton's "what is, is". No, having heroin addicts at work is not OK even if they perform well because it's very clear that they will not perform well very soon and you don't need to wait for that as an employer.
That is not mutually exclusive. Every single person living in 2020 knows dangers of heroin addiction. It is not starter drug happy person will try these days. You have to be seld destructive to even try.

And so what if Stadia flopped? At least they proved that, yeah, you can stream games to users in a usable, viable way.

I'd still like to own my equipment, but so many people want to play video games without getting into hardware specs, and Stadia was a big step forward for game streaming, which is going to be the future, whether we like it or not.

I think all of these products will quickly find that there is no mass-market demand for an audio only social network. This is a tool for self indulgence among "thought leaders" not something people actually want.

Even podcasts, which I'd argue are more accessible than live rambling, are not a mass market product after more than a decade of trying.

I don't know how common it actually is. You hear about the startups that overwork employees far more than you hear about startups where people have a good work life balance, but there could be many reasons including the big one being that happy people who live well balanced lives don't tend to talk about it.

Addiction engenders unresolved trauma. Can be drugs, shopping, sex, internet, or anything that gives you a temporary sense of relief from a deep underlying pain that usually forms in childhood.

Frustrated with the dual choices of Google and Bing, I decided to build a narrowly focused search engine to see if it can deliver better results. My first experiment covers the Django ecosystem.

I have a solution to prevent this, which doesn't prejudice Mike for having a bit of weed 2 weeks ago camping. Also it will filter out those unfit to work from legal medication, or tiredness.

Make workers do a 30 second ability test before going on shift. Design the test to measure reaction speed, short term memory, etc.

There is some beautiful poetic justice in watching a major financial institution suffer from a choice they lobbied for.

Private sector debt can comfortably be discharged in bankruptcy and new things can grow - creative destruction.

Public sector debt in your own currency is all right, it's not like you can ever run out of money - print more of it.

Inflation? Eh, maybe in certain sectors but it's not like income is rising, nor is labor participation rates.
Your experience with Citi is very similar to mine. It is funny that as an organization Citi seems to believe that its technology is brilliant and that any software that it uses must be built by Citi. Tremendous hubris combined with total incompetence. Not a winning combination.
I have a contrarian view that this is not a UI design issue - instead a user training issue.
Oracle and bad UI design often comes up on HN and every time the debate is that Oracle software is very bad and ripe for disruption.
However, most of what Oracle has built or bought is complex because the purposes it serves is complex.
You cannot expect a user to just sit in front of this screen (or any other Oracle screen for that matter) and figure it out. There is a lot of tribal knowledge involved and most of the times it is a user training issue.

If the user and his manager was unsure, they should have tested it on a dev system or with a smaller amount. Blaming bad software is easy. But having worked with complex ERP systems for more than a decade, I can easily say tat most of these systems are designed keeping user feedback in mind. In fact a lot of modules that Oracle sells were systems that their users built as add-ons to Oracle and were finally embraced by Oracle.

Everybody blames bad ERP systems from Oracle (PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Oracle EBS) and SAP. Yet noboody is building competing systems at a mass scale. Because they are complex and needs lots of integrations.

That is why, you see lots of small business ERP systems but very few complex full scale ERP systems -the kind Oracle dabbles in.

Reply to a similar thread here[0]. We use Jitsi for video and record everything and put somewhere accessible. We also make our MLOps platform (https://iko.ai) and use its real-time collaborative notebooks to write down things we discuss, code snippets, reproduce bugs in the notebook the meeting notes themselves, etc. I love that recursion of using our product to improve the product. We use our platform to work remotely on ML projects remotely.

I use Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) to record. We bought Steelseries headsets. I use them in a wireless mode. I had major problems with Bluetooth headsets in Linux in that I couldn't use their microphones. The Steelcase have a sort of USB Type-C dongle and they work seamlessly. They're great, plus their microphone is pluggable in the headset, so I can take it off.

We also have a Blue Yeti microphone and a Jabra speakerphone, but we haven't used them yet.

We use GitLab for repository management, etc.

Efficiency improvements and technology make the economy non-zero-sum. It's a trope to say that most of us live lives of a comfort that no Roman emperor could afford, but it's still true, and not because we have more wealth. Every year lots of things get cheaper compared to the money we make, and lots of new things are invented that replace much more expensive alternatives. We used to bring blocks of ice into the cities from the north (inside ships wrapped in hay I think) to act as refrigerators, for goodness sake.

That said lots of markets are close to zero-sum on a near-term basis. Real estate in very scarce locations is a good example for sure.

I used a mechanical keyboard for 2 years.

In my opinion they're like record players. The appeal is the retro factor. Chiclet keyboards are better in every measurable way and I'm using one of those now, some $25 keyboard from Dell. I can type faster on this one, more accurately, it gets dirty much slower, and it's significantly smaller.

Of course there's nothing wrong with using something because it's cool.

Magazines publishing centre-right views are fine. But if what you are seeking is a news publication that doesn't push a particular agenda, then The Spectator is pretty much as far away from it as you can get outside of Pravda.

You're right, of course, that it publishes some mild centre-right commentators with uncontroversial conservative views. That doesn't really compensate, in my view, for the provision of space to writers like Liddle and Young. These particular people are reactionary trolls; their writing contains little other than disinformation deliberately intended to stoke culture-war nonsense, and they're too smart to believe what they write. This stuff does little more than make society worse for everyone.

But I'd say regardless of your views on individual commentators or the overall quality of the publication – if someone wants to avoid the NYT because it is campaigning too much, then directing them to The Spectator is laughable.

I used it several times and despite the name, "Get a quote" is merely a preview webapp to upload the model and see how much it would cost in each material (and directly add to cart when you're happy with the result), no talking to sales involved.

They run more tests on the model after you order (to make sure it's physically possible to print it), but even then, never had to talk to anyone.

That's _one_ theory and it's not even the most likely one, it's just the only one they like to trot out whenever a History Channel producer needs to fill time between ads.

The control rods in SL-1 were prone to getting stuck in their channels for a variety of reasons. They were apparently not light either, as part of the investigation for the accident, they built a mockup control rod assembly that was weighted at 84 pounds. For military-age adult male, this is right in the range being able to move, without a lot of control over how _much_ it is moved.

It is, however, clearly a design failure that the removal of a single rod allowed the reactor to go critical, and/or that the rod was able to be removed by a human to the extent it was.

I bought a home in 1998 with a variable-rate mortgage.

The interest rate was 7.5% and my friends told me I was foolish not to pay 9.0% for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. They calculated nightmare scenarios if rates doubled or tripled while theirs held constant.

Every year since then, my interest rate reset downward until it hit the lower limit of 2%. Even though my required payment decreased, I kept paying the original payment amount and paid off the loan 10 years early.

My friends paid hundreds of thousands in additional interest over the years for the peace of mind of a fixed rate.

PSA: 2021 to 2031 might be different than 1998 to 2018.
You are comparing (baseline US power use/person x number of people working at banks) to (power consumed to do the computations to operate the bitcoin blockchain).

I fail to see how this is relevant to the question of how bitcoin compares to the banking system as a system for storing and transferring money from an energy perspective.

The relevant comparison would be to compare the costs of doing a similar volume of similar operations using bitcoin and the bank system.
Small quibble here. I'm pretty sure that most regulated companies do NOT own their own generating plants, since for a long time they were legally not allowed to be in both the distribution business and the generator business. I _think_ this was from the Public Utility Holding Company Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Utility_Holding_Company...) but it was ~ 15 years ago when I toured an Entergy power plant and heard the explanation so I may be wrong. I suspect that this still holds true for regulated utilities since the conflict of interest is pretty high.

What has been a recent trend is generator companies purchasing supplier companies (for example Calpine purchased Champion Energy and Noble Solutions)
There most certainly are outliers, and you are likely one of them for nicotine at least.

>Once i out data on an apple computer they can do whatever they want?

Nope, only things you agreed to in Terms of Usage that do not go against the law. Added that detail at the end because yes, I am aware that ToU do not override laws, and just because you put something in there doesn't necessarily mean that it is legal.

>Now, what are you even arguing?

Your earlier comment said "I store my data in apple's systems, is it my right to do with it as I please or theirs?", and that's what I was addressing. You have the right to do as you please with it, which manifests in your ability to NOT use Apple's systems for your data storage, unless you are satisfied with their Terms of Usage. If you decide to use their systems for that, you are agreeing on the ground rules with them which are outlined in ToU.
