My grandfather apparently is such a person. Currently 94 and as lucid as he was 25 years ago and with an amazing memory at that, which he shows off by reciting poetry he learned in the course of the last 85 years or so.

Even if I inherited this trait and lived that long, I doubt I would be able to repeat this - he's been very active throughout his whole life and neither drinks nor smokes.

How long has it been since you updated the app? It used to work that way, but they changed it. It was a really disappointing shift. If you have a pending update from ~last year, don't update until you have to. I only get a few new posts from friends each day, so it's three scrolls and bam, random accounts and content ads. To see old posts from your friends, you have to click a button that says "See archived posts" after the last new post by a friend, but before the inserted ads and strangers.
I hadn't heard of any of that, so thanks for the link and description. As a recent WoW player, those archetypes are very familiar, and I'd say I'd fit into every category except maybe explorer, but the game has been out for an eternity. The friends I had in mind when I wrote the original comment are definitely just explorers as far as I can tell.

Also, in retrospect I need to apologize for how incoherent my original comment was. I wrote it at 5am just as I am for this one.
I'm lacking a bit of context. Your comment implies that 7 years is a long time to fill a reservoir. I can't find, either in your comment or in the article, mention of whether that time is long due to the amount of water needed (the bathtub is big), or whether that timeline is deliberately long to avoid impacting downstream usage (the bathtub faucet is at a trickle).

From the article, the Nile river is estimated to carry 84 billion cubic meters per year, so the reservoir holds roughly one Nile-year of water. Filling over 7 years means that the downstream flow would be reduced by ~1/7 during that time period.

> with ten downloads leading to about four fewer cinema visits.

These things aren't equal, though. As someone who loves the cinema I find it very sad, but maybe people just want to watch these things at home on their small screens now? The cinema industry hasn't helped matters by essentially turning cinemas into giant, automated TV screens.

If piracy actually hurt movie sales, they simply wouldn't do home media. They'd print film on reels making it very difficult to pirate (in high quality, at least). But they don't because home media makes them tons of money, despite the piracy.
I wish people could frame arguments without implied/covert vilification of the presumed opponents of your position - in this case introducing the argument with a reference to "rent-tribute to knowledge capitalists". If you accept the implication of this premise (the beneficiaries of copyright law are rent-seeking and capitalists) and your world view is already aligned with the author (capitalism is evil, rent-seeking is evil), then the rest of the pieces is almost superfluous.

Arguments based on this technique generally do nothing to encourage others to think about their own beliefs and are attractive only as a form of confirmation bias. They rely on the vilification of "other people" (capitalists in this case) for their appeal and to me just contribute heat rather than light to any debate.

It's nothing to do with my political orientation - I react similarly when a piece opens with some reference to "neo-marxists", "trump supporters" or "liberals", etc. - it's sucks out any enthusiasm I might have to follow the argument.

Stop spreading that myth. Nuclear isn't that inflexible, load following is possible and frequently done over here.

There are some differences between BWRs and PWRs, but the figures are not hugely different.

Yes decade old information for all the decade old nuclear power plants that are still running. We don't drive cars from the 60s anymore but still operate nuclear power plants from that era. You'll have to shut them down to avoid that criticism because it's perfectly valid as long as those power plants are online.

I didn't think of this until you mentioned this, so might do that. But I don't get the 'avoid Jinja2 entirely' part. Jinja2 is avoided with the current syntax already (which is definitely changing).

Lol, dirt cheap? Where? In Sweden, the average price of a solar cell package of 5 kW is approximately 90,000 kr (~ $10,500) including VAT. That's about 3 times the average monthly salary in Sweden

Growing up in Italy around the same time my experience was very similar, movies would come out weeks or months later, and access to english media wasn't great until fairly recently.

Piracy and torrents were amazing though. We could find any movie no matter how obscure, as well as books, comics and all kinds of stuff (my uncle gifted me a kobo e-reader many years ago, it was amazing and I loved it).

I basically learned English that way, and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that that's the most important skill I have. So much access to information, travel, and relationships to other people just would not have been possible if I didn't speak English well.

In a way piracy has improved my life tremendously, while not really hurting anybody (as if a kid in Italy without any money would have been able to buy all those movies even at a 90% discount).

Netflix is pretty great for this. Most of the Japanese stuff they have has both Japanese audio and subtitles even outside Japan. It's pretty anime heavy though. Rakuten Viki has some too but it's done by fans and not always complete!
Have you even seen an Amazon issue reported here that you had power to correct?
Of course nuclear is inflexible. It's entire economic case is built on operating at very high capacity factor. That reactors can TECHNICALLY operate at lower capacity factor is irrelevant -- the cost of doing so is prohibitive.

Economically, partnering renewables and nuclear doesn't work well. Nuclear does a very poor job covering for renewables intermittency, and renewables crowd out nuclear during the times they're churning out the power.
Thanks, folding's better for camping, but whatever is available.

That linked one is super thin and light, and much smaller area than my old one. Their claimed "20% conversion" is higher, IIRC, part explains it.

The exact direction makes a disproportionate difference (beyond dot product), and probably cloudiness too.

I hadn't thought of using a car cigarette lighter USB adapter - isn't there an issue with non-smooth voltage regulation, that might harm a smartphone? Actually, I don't know what phones can handle, nor what panels typically put out, nor how the "solar chargers" deal with it.

A better long-term solution might be to replace a phone's Li-on battery with (small 12v motorbike) lead-acid battery, for far longer life-time. But heavier for camping etc.
Hence “ This doesn't excuse Elon slandering Vernon Unsworth”. I still think Vernon’s response to a good faith attempt at solving the problem “stick it where it hurts” was distasteful.

No, those are complete opposites of each other. If you want to ruin your neighbors and run an import deficit you must first ruin your own infrastructure by not spending a single penny on it.
> The cost of tracking PV + batteries is already cheaper than CSP when fitted to the current demand curve.

Really? Any cost stats for that, I'd love to see that.

From Lazard's 2018 [1] and 2020 [2] reports, PV+storage (and only 1-4 hours of storage) is still more expensive for "In-front-of the meter" on the low end compared to CSP for storage on LCOE basis, and 2.5x-4.4x more expensive on the low end, for "Behind-the-meter" applications.

> What’s kept CSP limping along is you can use natural gas to supplement CSP while calling the project green.

And we can also cast light on the manufacturing process behind panels and how the materials are gathered for both panels and batteries… either way improvements are being made all around.

When you do “render_template()” Flask uses jinja2 - it will read it, pass it to jinja2 and render the response. This is what I meant by avoiding jinja2 entirely.

Good luck!
I’m not debating that Musk slandered him, and I think Musk should have payed out in court. However I still think Vernon’s response to Musk’s submarine solution was distasteful. Instead of saying “sorry, this won’t work because xyz”, or “we’ll try that if our original plan fails”, he told Musk to “stick it where it hurts”. Not a very professional response.
What about emotions ? My brain can function but a great deal of it less colorful than 20 somethings, which in the end feels a bit moot.
Ye it is quite strange that there is such a price difference between sites for the same ad CPM when the advertiser can select audiance somewhat through tracking anyway.
I think much of this is just a language problem leading to endless communication problems and debate.

If you are going to say consciousness has degrees then what about degrees of unconsciousness?

It doesn't make sense to be more or less unconscious.

When we say conscious though we don't really mean the opposite of unconscious most of the time. Usually it is the opposite of unconscious + many other things. Then we debate what those other things are.

To me this is exactly a language philosophy problem and imprecision in our language causing philosophical problems.
