There are a few things that might have a positive effect on this:

- EV access laws for renters are slowly gaining traction.

- EV batteries are getting large enough that you can get by with fast charging once or so a week off-property. I know tesla drivers that do not charge at home.

- craigslist has a checkbox for "EV charging" when searching for apartments.
Imho, while there are lot of people suffering from anxiety and stress these days, it has a lot more to do with info overload than info deprivation (which is what isolation does to the chimp brain).
Seems to be any topic mentioning libera chat.
I couldn't read the article, it said I'd reached my free limit.

But the reason I remember people saying the trend would plateau is because while the solar cells themselves can get cheaper, they questioned if the installation could.

Kind of reminiscent of Amdahl's law.

So I'm wondering if that proved not to be the barrier people thought.

Sorry, I could not understand that phrase. Who is getting killed, and what I equate to what?

> Oh and then denying racist policies are, in fact, racist just because they don't meet the dictionary definition of it.

It's really hard to talk to people which like to redefine words. Calling everything and everyone racists and literal nazis just because they don't like it.

I'll stick to the dictionary.

> And left-leaning activists shutting it down? Jesus dude. Read the constitution. You clearly have no idea what freedom of speech (in America) is.

Freedom of speech is far broader term than US constitution even in the US.

For example, UK has freedom in speech, but it is not in the constitution.

On the other hand, many authoritarian countries have more more freedom of speech in the constitution than the US. But they don't really have free speech.

"Cancelling" people for speech reduces that free speech even if it does not violate constitution.

I must say, you have no idea what freedom is speech is.

> I mean, Florida (a state run by a pretty right-wing governor) just passed a law essentially denying tech companies freedom of speech. The projection from the right is absolutely ridiculous at this point.

Denying companies right to deplatform people might be a limitation of business freedom or whatever, but calling it attack on freedom of speech, this is a hot take.

Yeah, we definitely have very different understanding of freedom of speech.

Just in case, this is a quote from wikipedia:

Freedom of speech: Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.

Censorship: Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. ... Censorship can be conducted by governments, *private institutions*, and other controlling bodies.

I work at a power company and while it can be cheap, in places like the Midwest, it's very unreliable. Solar? On average were budget for getting 10% max power generation out of single sided panels and about 25% for double sided. Wind? Prone to malfunctions and can get wrecked during tornados. But on good days they do well. Aside from that, still very unreliable when you have 5mph winds on a Friday night when energy need is at its highest.

Renewables got a long way to go. Storage is barely feasible right now and is the largest reason why it just can't work. This isn't a "Debbie downer" speaking here, these are facts. Green energy cannot support the infrastructure we've created right now. We could revert society to adapt to needing less power, but you're more likely capable of overthrowing the US government than have people be okay with using 30% if their max power usage nowadays.
In Texas I had a 100 amp sub panel with two 50 amp 14-50 receptacles on a 60’ run for about $1000 in a suburban home. A good outdoor rated charging box would run another $500-1000 or so depending on features. If I were a landlord I would request tenants have a service run specifically for the charger so it could be billed independently.

I imagine gross prices are slightly higher in California due to permitting.
"…no marketing whatsoever, other than LinkedIn posts, Twitter posts, the Slack App Directory, the app's dedicated web site, and the content marketing piece you're reading right now."
That's not really the same as not caring about your co-workers as human beings, though. I'm happy to leave introverts alone and not drag them to unhappy hour with me, but they're still worth something as people, and I'd still help them out if they e.g. got hospitalised and needed someone to bring them clothes and a book.

I interpreted "I don't care about you as a person" as "I don't think you have moral worth outside your instrumental value to me", which goes beyond rudeness and into questions of whether the person can be trusted at all.

Ho Chi Mihm was a puppet of china. There was no 'developing on their own'.

Vietnam is communist but they're not very friendly with China, nor have they been since about 1975; vietnam is certainly not a satellite of China. Starting in 1979 they fought a low-intensity border war with China that went on for over a decade, a fact you seem to be unaware of.
Ok it’s in vicinity of 5 percent and not 20 percent, still quite large, And ammonia used for what ? Fertiliser?
> EV access laws for renters

What are some of these laws? Does that mean I get to charge at more private chargers?

One of the big obstacles to going EV (besides the lack of cost-effective EV rental) is that all the chargers around me are private chargers whereas the gas stations are public.
From :

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/07/ammonia-renewable-fu...

The emissions add up: Ammonia production consumes about 2% of the world's energy and generates 1% of its CO2.

2% not 20%

> There was nothing, militarily, keeping the US from executing a full scale ground invasion of Hanoi and decapitate the North Vietnamese regime. It’s likely the US would have succeeded in that effort, much like it had 20 years earlier with invasions into German and Japanese held territories in WWII.

That didn't happen. That's a militaristic fantasy. What Zinn is describing actually happened. This isn't a debate.

> The risk of the US putting full effort into the Vietnam was not that the US would lose, it was that US would find its self in a direct armed conflict with other nuclear equipped powers, and this would have set off events leading to a global nuclear war.

Mutually Assured Destruction isn't "winning". Luckily that didn't happen either. We lost.
Unless you cut those plants that sequestered CO2 and bury them very deep, the CO2 will eventually be released again. We introduced a ton of extra carbon to the cycle, and taking it out isn’t easy.

The hard part isn't breaking the security, the hard part is not breaking the security. Web extensions are often only provided with nuclear options like overriding CORS or requesting full-page access. There's not really any new policy you can take advantage of here, it's just developers complaining that they have to resort to wider-impact, potentially dangerous hacks in order to perform basic actions.

In my mind, it's similar to when people hand-wring about extensions requesting access on all URLs. The security model for extensions is not fine-tuned enough to enable better behavior. It railroads extensions into over-requesting access to everything. I consider this to be a serious problem, but... I don't know, it doesn't talked about that much. To be fair, the web makes granular permissions difficult, and also to be fair Manifest V3 does try to make things more granular, in at least some ways. It's easier to make an extension now that only operates on some pages. But building limited extensions that don't have a lot of power is still somewhat difficult.

But regardless, I don't believe any of this is actionable advice you can use for your own pages. Which is good, because as a website author, you should not have the ability to override the user's decision about how extensions interact with your page; I would consider that to be an anti-web, anti-user sentiment in most cases. Websites don't get to decide what code can be run in an extension.
People may just as easily infer the wrong things from black and white still photography. There's no defense against people's ability to misinterpret things.

Could there be a balance?

Some grasses grow with partial light. With the right inter-panel spacing, could it be that a grazing animal might require more space, but not to an unreasonable degree? (I assume there are other considerations for the pasture...ease of finding the animals, moving them around, etc)
> If you have to dig into the details of a function to understand what it does, you have failed to sufficiently explain what the function does through its naming and set of arguments.

Which is often unavoidable, many functions are insufficiently explained by those alone unless you want four-word camelcase monstrosities for names. The code of the function should be right-sized. Size and complexity need to be balanced there- simpler and easier-to-follow is sometimes larger. I work on compilers, query processors and compute engines, cognitive load from the subject domains are bad enough without making the code arbitrarily shaped.

[edit] oh yes, what jzoch says below. Locality helps with taming the network of complexity between functions and data.

[edit] oh no, here come the downvotes!

Different stokes for different folks. To me, WFH purely means I avoid my crushing 2.5hr-each-way commute. If my employer built an office next to my house, I'd happily go to the office every day. Or even better, if my employer built an office in a cheaper cost-of-living area like the Nevada desert, I could move to a trailer there and happily go to the office every day. I'm not enamored with my home office. I don't really care as much about working from some room in my home as I care about not having to white-knuckle it down 3 interstate highways just to get to an office where I spend all my time having video conference meetings with remote teams anyway.

Because the Chinese government use their money and invest in things like Reddit, newspapers, media companies, etc..

Let me ask you this. Why was it wrong to call COVID the China virus, but now it’s ok to call the COVID variant that sprung up in India, the Indian/India variant? One would assume it’s because the Chinese investors influence the American media companies they have a say in.

But I’m speculating of course.

Geez the anti-crypto circlejerk is real. I understand that it's incredibly wasteful and inefficient, but on a global scale I'd be willing to wager it's not even a drop in the proverbial bucket of energy consumption in comparison to other pointless and destructive endeavors, like consumerism for example.

There are far more things we could be doing to reduce energy consumption in meaningful ways besides getting ride of POW/crypto.

> IMO it’s a tad silly to say that the U.S. lost these wars. Can you really lose a war with a massive nuclear arsenal on your side? It’s crazy that this seems to never be mentioned.

An observation not lost to the ground forces. I was in the US infantry 10+ years ago. We were well trained and lethal. We had an overwhelming technological targeting advantage. We had the support of a sizeable amount of the local population that we generally stayed a few steps ahead of the lower and mid tier rungs of whatever insurgency we were fighting (Al Qaeda in Iraq [ISIS predecessor], the Taliban, whatever-local-Afghan-village-thugs-in-later-deployments). We understood the war wasn't purely militaristic in "kill counts" or territory sieged, and the lessons of irregular warfare (hearts and minds) were beaten in to us.

The biggest issue, at least for us that actually had to kill and be shot at, was that the progressively restrictive rules of engagement (ROE) defanged us, both from lethal and willpower standpoints. There were so many nested bullet points and gotchas and just a wide breadth of rules that no person that wasn't a lawyer could keep up with it. Arbitrary things like "if you are in a gunfight with insurgents and they fall back into a cave, no matter who the insurgent is or how many casualties they were lucky to have inflicted on your forces, you absolutely cannot roll grenades into the cave." Very specific, very arbitrary, very confusing. Furthermore, it was beat into us that the full weight of the law was to fall on our heads if we screwed these things up. Which makes sense from a humanitarian point of view, but that lingering legal guillotine built in a sizeable amount of self-doubt and apprehension in us where we weren't ever sure when or if we were allowed to be lethal.

I imagine a set of ROE was drafted, and enough bureaucrats scribbled in "small edits" that the overarching sense of direction was lost in the sea of Great Ideas by Smart People and nobody with both the political clout and common sense was able to get to these revisions before they were inflicted on us on the ground. Not dissimilar to scope creep you see in software, except parties involved couldn't just vote with their feet and leave. That, and those functioning as the wars' PM's weren't as much concerned with delivering results as they perhaps were with empire building and political posturing. Just a god damn mess
There was no central location. As far as anyone can tell, the universe was always infinite and has been expanding at every point for all time. It's pretty hard to wrap your head around. References to sizes are probably the size of the "observable universe", which is basically the parts from which light is able to reach Earth. It might help to think of those more as ways to measure the expansion than the size of any actual object.
That’s why laws exist.

There’s generally no incentive to not kill someone except going to jail.
Given that wind and solar are effectively “free” when they’re running I expect we will see energy usage climb to consume the available power.
Oil would run out within decades. We can safely assume the presence of solar energy for the next million years.

Solar panels take land. But there is a lot of desert and semi-desert land which has perfect insolation, like 350 days of unrestricted sunshine per year. The energy produced there could be used to produce freshwater from nearby seas. The shadow afforded by the panels could help host some sustainable vegetation.

The dangerous chemicals can be, with the help of plentiful energy, transformed to more benign chemicals, or recycled.

As long as solar panels and wind turbines produce significantly more energy in their lifetime than it takes to construct them, they can pay off their own externalities.

There are countably many proofs, but a proof does not entail a single truth. Many truths are entailed by a single proof, in fact an uncountable number of truths can be entailed by a single proof.

That does not mean that all truths can be written down or enumerated, but strictly speaking it is not sufficient to conclude that due to the fact that the set of all proofs are countable, that the set of all truths entailed by the proofs must also be countable.

None of this should be taken to violate Godel's incompleteness theorems.

Finally, it's worth mentioning that not all formal systems are limited to finite proofs. There are formal systems where theorems as well as proofs can be countably infinite in length and where there are uncountably many proofs. These systems, known as infinitary logic, are often reduceable to second order logic and hence are incomplete.
Maybe a nitpick, but it's weird to call "Vietnam" the winner in the civil war between South Vietnam and North Vietnam.
That's because you're not seeing what they are.

Imagine buying a painting for a million dollars. Or a hand crafted watch. The markets for these talk a whole lot about the intrinsic value, the workmanship, the creativity. And people do love them for those things, but that's not why they pay so much for them.

Imagine being able to park a retirement fund into something that fits in your pocket. You can't even do that with gold bricks. But you can do that with watches.

It's just a way to store a very large amount of money in something you can take with you anywhere in the world without anyone noticing. NFTs are even smaller than a watch. They're just the new version of the art dealing hustle that has been going on for centuries.
Yes, the US lost. The government in Afghanistan doesn't have much institutional depth or very firm control of the country. It's not a military defeat in the sense of having your army crushed, but an occupation that never achieves peacetime status is a failure by great power standards. Don't feel bad though, the US is the 3rd empire to make the exact same mistake in Afghanistan. It'd be comical if there weren't so much human suffering involved.

Slightly off topic, but as a relatively recent convert from Android to iOS, one of the things I miss most is the ability to schedule messages with Textra.

I live on the East Coast now, but most of my friends are back on the West Coast. Sometimes, I have a thought or idea in the EST morning that I want to send to a west coast friend. That’s far too early in PST to be receiving messages—who knows who forgot to mute sound before going to bed—so I loved being able to schedule a text message to send during a decent hour on the West Coast.

Sounds like a super useful feature for slack. Would love it in iMessage.
I worry about the kids that have haven't received attention due to suppression of their parents. I think we all know that the voices of our kids/children don't generally hold the same weight that an adult does and I worry that with increased impact to mental health that kids are being pushed to breaking point because they aren't being listened to.

My other concern is that whilst the contributors to mental health can be incredibly broad I do feel that the attention needs to be paid more in understanding the "why". We can't reduce the numbers of kids walking into emergency rooms with mental health problems by creating more beds. We need to understand the root causes, which I am sure they understand the importance of.

One of the hypothesis I have is the fear for the future, often depression comes when you have dread for the future. We know that the cost of living is extremely high, the dream of owning a home and starting a family are becoming increasingly more challenging for even those in the middle class. That's not to say this hasn't ever been challenging, but I do think that it is significantly more challenging. Couple that with social media painting false images of our peers and the pressures to be doing something amazing are making it difficult for people to navigate life as an average person.

As a side note, I remember a decade ago when I graduated high school I remember being under so much pressure (placed on myself) to get into University because in my bleak view of the world at the time I couldn't shake the idea that if I didn't make it, I wasn't going to have the future I wanted.

To be fair, I think Firefox has this restriction too? I might be wrong, but I could have sworn I ran into some script-injection extensions that weren't working on some sites because of this problem.

It's been a while since I checked, I eventually gave up on the extensions because I wanted to thin out my list and I wasn't comfortable with them overriding CORS headers -- so things may have changed, or maybe I misunderstood the situation even back then.
