Imagine if you could one day somehow triangulate a meteor impact causing that event by looking at the patten of how certain trees on certain geographic locations were affected.

But might just be a volcano. Boring in comparison but not for the people that had to live through it.

>>You're not accounting for inflation.

> Hint: it's accounting for inflation.

You started with a quote from what you called the source article, then concluded "So... it increased $7.7B with $6.3B of that being additional planes ordered."

Here's the source article [1] for your quote. From May 1, 1977. So try again to your values are inflation adjusted. They're not. The numbers you started with are 1977 nominal dollars. They had no idea you'd be quoting them in 2021 so there's no way they would have written those 1977 values in 2021 dollars for you to quote today. The other numbers for future F-35 costs also are not inflation adjusted. Track down the source and check; I did. They're nominal figures, added from each years budget. You're just making these claims up as you go.

Since you claim things that are so demonstrably untrue, apparently assuming I'll just believe you, it's not worth continuing.

it's only a tradeoff in areas where residents are not landowners, so the landlords profit off development. which is one of the problems solved by a more equitable distribution of land, like a land-value tax promotes.

in any area where the residents are the landowners, they're being paid a fair price for their land and so the development is not "at the expense" of anybody.
We will have to to see mass deaths before we mobilize.

Don’t forget that it took hospital corridors to turn into morgue and mass graves dug in NY to accept that this is not just the flu. Even that didn’t convince everyone that it’s serious.

A famine will probably be even worse than the covid-19. Maybe the denial won’t be that widespread but you can expect an intense blaming among people with different lifestyles. Everyone will have different degree of understanding the seriousness of the situation and everyone will be willing to cut back on consumption in different degrees.

Even without famine people can have strong opinions, some people even hate on people who actually advocate eating less. There’s strong hate towards vegetarians and vegans from the some groups of right wing people. I’ve been reading a lot of messages from non-US citizens being very happy that Trump will stick it to vegetarians. Meat consumption is also a topic among the followers of Jordan Peterson.

>Most visual artists don't like to share techniques. It's a closed source mindset in that regard.

This hasn't been my experience at all. First of all the surest way to become a great artist is to surround yourself in an environment with other people that aspire to the same thing. An environment that's collaborative where people give feedback, encouragement, and constructive criticism to one another. Where people share techniques. Second, there's really not much in the way of secret techniques. People have been drawing/painting/sculpting/etc for many centuries. Its no secret how to get good at it.

If 2020 panic is a valid sample, our biggest problem is not lack of elasticity in production, but lack of discipline, empathy, and general sense of humanity in the population. We are still fighting like cavemen when it comes to hoarding groceries, vaccines, you name it.

You're falling back to the "if it works on paper it'll be guaranteed to work at scale, and work cheaply" argument. Please stop this foolishness.

It's not just a question of storage, you can just use a salt cavern for that.

It's also a question of electrolyzing water into hydrogen efficiently.

And converting it back into electricity efficently.

And building all of these systems cheaply.

And deploying all of these systems at massive scale.

We're still on the first phase of that. As per your other comment we still don't even have effective elctrolysers to do this cost-effectively [1].

Will hydrogen storage pan out? Maybe. But until then it's not a solution. It's a potential solution, like fusion, or algae in vats, and thermal storage, and all the other potential solutions being proposed. It's not a solution that has actually demonstrated viability.

I actually edited the word 'basic' in (before your comment, shortly after first submitting) because I recognize that I'm not a math historian.
I've been super happy with Namecheap, but I only use them for the most basic stuff like A records, CNAME, etc. They don't have an easy to use API (IIRC you have jump through a lot of hoops and whitelist your IP to get access) which is both a good and bad thing.

It's good security because APIs are just another way to gain access to your stuff, and an attacker controlling your DNS has _incredible_ access to ruin your life (steal email, impersonate you... the works).

It's bad though because increasingly we're automating certificates and other stuff through means of using DNS as proof (i.e. set a magic TXT record and lets encrypt will grant you a wildcard SSL cert for free) and many scripts need a DNS provider with good API.

So long way of saying for basic stuff where it's just you going into a dashboard and clicking around to change settings--Namecheap is great. Their DNS comes free with purchase of a domain for a couple bucks, you really can't beat that price.

If you need programmatic API access step up to someone who is running DNS as a core part of their business IMHO--Amazon Route 53, Cloudflare, etc. The bigger the better as they'll have more security resources, support good security practices like 2FA, hardware auth devices, etc. and just generally have more care taken with access to DNS. You'll pay more but you'll get more in the long run.
Lua is another one. The following expressions are all equivalent:

object:method(arguments...)
object.method(object, arguments...)
object["method"](object, arguments...)

Lua objects are tables (associative arrays), the dot and colon operators are forms of table lookup, and methods are ordinary functions stored in the table (or more commonly its associated meta-table) which happen to take the object as their first argument. The colon operator, which can only be used as part of a function call, passes its left-hand operand to the function along with the other arguments.
Why are these things at odds? It seems like the ideal outcome for the union would be to have a significant ownership stake in the company and share in its success, rather than have an adversarial relationship and drag down profits.

I use GitHub pages for most of my project static websites using gh-pages [0] to deploy via a GitHub Action workflow. It's been working great for general static webpages, or using Vue/React.

However, there are some limitations such as if you need to add custom headers.

If you need more customization, then S3/Cloudfront also works well too. I also use Netlify and had minimal issues.

it's one thing to interconnect a few GW here and there, but to power the Texas grid you need 80GW or so. That is a humongous amount of power. You would need at least 10-20 HVDC projects that span thousands of miles each.

BTW, Texas is already connected to the other grids, but not synchronized, e.g. https://www.tdworld.com/overhead-transmission/article/209645...
As we all know, these kind of connections were not enough during the big freeze.

But say you make that investment. That is still not a guarantee that you won't have a continent wide lull without sun or wind. You just can't risk it. It's cheaper and more effective to just install some gas turbines for backup. If you fire them up 2 times a year it won't matter for the CO2 budget.

I don't think the degree to which Erdős optimized his life for math is underrated at all. I'd say it's a key feature of what made him who he was, and you'll hear about it in anything involving him that goes past just the work he's done.

> I'd imagine that between the drug usage and the hosting, these collaborators didn't get that much sleep. Furthermore, because of Erdős' lifestyle, I'd bet that these papers were primarily written up and refined by his co-authors (Ron Graham in many cases). I doubt he'd have the time, what with the constant traveling.

A few of those collaborators were my professors in grad school. You're right: not much sleep was had while Erdős was in town, and the business of publication was primarily handled by the collaborators.
The hole is the lack of access to the courts to to appeal decisions of the Government on maybe 90% of the business of the Governement. If you read the rest of the article it's actually pretty cool if old fashioned. If it was justicable it would be awesome.
I'm sorry to hear about that situation.

Having said that, I am possibly a bit like your boss. I am a major bottleneck to my employees, and they struggle to overcome technical skill gaps between their knowledge and what they need to work on. Frequently I find they are blocked for days or weeks and when I finally get to sit down or spend time with them, their problem is sometimes solved within minutes. Sometimes I resent it because it's clear to me with some basic effort in learning new skills, they could get over these humps but they seem to take an attitude that if they hit something they don't already know, it's perfectly reasonable to stop progressing it and just declare they need help. It's really alien to me because as a young developer I would never have done that, I would just keep acquiring knowledge until I solve it (possibly taking a lot of time). While I'd never outright deny a direct request for help, I will often redirect where I think they can figure out the problem themselves with some investment in their own learning - "you need to learn about X, do some reading and tutorials, I think that will help", etc.

I am curious if you would have advice? Assume you can't solve the problem of actually getting your bosses' help (they simply have too many responsibilities to be helping at a micro level), how could one develop a culture of self-learning and proactive responsibility to progress things?

> Most (not all) of Erdos work is considered of very limited quality

Are you kidding? Do you have an example of a paper that you'd say was of "very limited quality?"
Storing hydrogen is only one piece of the puzzle. Yes, if you happen to live near an abandoned salt mine that's a convenient place to put a large quantity of hydrogen. That doesn't solve the problem of massive electrolysis facilities, and turbines that can burn hydrogen.

And it certainly doesn't answer the question of whether or not this represents a viable grid-storage solution, since we haven't built it at remotely close to the scale required.

It's not "if it isn't already being done, it can't be done"

It's "if it isn't already being done, it is extremely reckless to assume that it can be done cheaply at a massive scale".

Screw it, let's just use fusion. Nobody has actually built a fusion plant? Well, who cares if it hasn't already been done, that's a "foolish argument" in your own words. /s
Anecdotally, its true for books too. Amazon is a great way to figure out which books are the best reviewed before deciding to get one (whether paper, kindle or 'other means').

I recall hearing about one contestants strategy for recalling the most digits of pi using this technique. He said he'd imagine a room with many objects in it. He'd assign 100 digits on the light switch, 100 digits on the top drawer, then the next drawer, and so on until reciting was just a matter of walking around the room in his mind and reading off the numbers from the objects in the correct order.

1 The State shall strive to promote the welfare of the whole people by securing and protecting as effectively as it may a social order in which justice and charity shall inform all the institutions of the national life.

2 The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing:–

i That the citizens (all of whom, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means of livelihood) may through their occupations find the means of making reasonable provision for their domestic needs.

ii That the ownership and control of the material resources of the community may be so distributed amongst private individuals and the various classes as best to subserve the common good.

iii That, especially, the operation of free competition shall not be allowed so to develop as to result in the concentration of the ownership or control of essential commodities in a few individuals to the common detriment.

iv That in what pertains to the control of credit the constant and predominant aim shall be the welfare of the people as a whole.

v That there may be established on the land in economic security as many families as in the circumstances shall be practicable.

3 1° The State shall favour and, where necessary, supplement private initiative in industry and commerce.

2° The State shall endeavour to secure that private enterprise shall be so conducted as to ensure reasonable efficiency in the production and distribution of goods and as to protect the public against unjust exploitation.

4 1° The State pledges itself to safeguard with especial care the economic interests of the weaker sections of the community, and, where necessary, to contribute to the support of the infirm, the widow, the orphan, and the aged.

2° The State shall endeavour to ensure that the strength and health of workers, men and women, and the tender age of children shall not be abused and that citizens shall not be forced by economic necessity to enter avocations unsuited to their sex, age or strength.
