If CO2 taxes were high enough, one could make and then burn hydrogen instead, for long term or rare storage needs. And this is still likely cheaper than going with nuclear.

The only photo I remember from China in 1990 is the Tiananmen square photo of the guy standing up to the tank.

Did you see that photo in China?
I imagine that the effect is so small that it's negligible. Wouldn't an entire forest block more wind than a field of turbines? And forests aren't known to have that kind of effect.

Solar panels are also on a tiny fraction of the Earth's surface, the rest receives and treats radiation the same way as always.
People understand this, but they refuse to understand this.

I think it's perfectly reasonable for you guys to do it, and I am pretty certain that most of your userbase won't care.

"would the same thing be against the law if it happened here" is a somewhat common benchmark in treaties and laws about respecting and acting on foreign law enforcement requests, presumably that's what's meant. (When it comes to extraditions it's often called the "dual criminality" requirement, and can involve quite a bit of transfer to make things comparable. E.g. since Assange is charged with conspiring with Manning to steal US military data, the UK extradition ruling was considering if it would have been a crime in the UK if he had conspired with a UK service member to steal UK data)
Storage alone isn’t a fallacy. Digging into exactly how much storage is excessive would be another, but that’s a perfectly valid debate and not the root issue with the kind of nonsense people regularly bring up. Here’s one that seems to be about storage but is really a #2 example. It arbitrarily picks 50% solar 50% wind 0% hydro and then does a bunch of meaningless calculations as if that’s ever what people would build in the North East: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/20022019/100-percent-rene...

The issue with that article isn’t storage it’s the energy mix used and the lack of excess production. As #1 points out you get to 100% not by building that in a day you build more storage, more wind, more hydro, and or more solar and then figure out what else is cost effective to add. Currently there is seemingly excess solar in California with prices going negative except unlike what’s mentioned people are actually still building solar because it’s cheap enough that even without selling in the middle of sunny days it’s still profitable. It’s really not obvious that that’s going to happen just running some

Yeah, the article may say that, but that just means the article is wrong.
Popular history is being written in a way allowing it to be easily consumed. So no, it shouldn't contain a list of thousands of engineers. I'm not arguing that it is good or bad, just stating how it is.

In a way it is a progress. Wars had thousands or even millions of causalities, but history says mostly about generals. No one interested enough in a fate of a private John Smith. Now education came to a point when privates of army of brilliant engineers is not interesting enough, because there are too many of them for a cognitive abilities of a regular consumer of a history.

Maybe some day in a future, we'll come to a history ignoring individuals from an army of Elons, and focusing instead on some superhuman who led them.
You can't have the cleaniless of Tokyo in a US city unless you're willing to harshly punish people - Singapore style - for transgressions. That won't stand up legally in terms of civil rights. You have to entirely remake the culture to get that outcome, and that's not going to happen. Urban US culture is largely mediocre. The last thing the US needs is another Las Vegas, building another major US city in the desert is moronic.

In general the US does not need more cities. The US can't operate its existing cities properly. It's embarrassing how disgusting and violent most US cities are. Culturally the US should figure out how to run the cities it has before building new ones. To say nothing of the fact that the US has no need of new mega cities from a practical standpoint, we're facing population decline or stagnation, not a population boom.

Cities are cultural extensions of the nations they reside in, along with regional influences. It's highly predictable what you'll get out of another city built in the US. Let's focus $400 billion on public transportation improvements for our existing cities, including rail and a lot more electric buses.
Interpol is simply a way for law enforcement to communicate across borders.

If the Chinese government files a request by means of Interpol, it’s very dishonest to say “an Interpol request.” It’s a Chinese request.
This point is weird. No reasonable person would understand that sentence to include "and we won't even comply with court orders".
Exactly, thanks.

Eh, it's all horses for courses.

Sometimes you have to hit a date, sometimes you don't.

Sometimes having something is better than nothing, other times unless you have all the functionality it's worthless.

Sometimes you can know all the requirements upfront, other times they are ambiguous and require testing and failing.

The only way to be wrong is to pick one methodology and apply it to all circumstances. There are times pure agile will work, there are times waterfall will work, and there are times that neither of these are right and you have to do something else.

The article starts with:

I think Germany proves that if you have neighbors with high base loads and you double electricity costs you can achieve a pretty significant use of renewables without sacrificing grid stability in a normal year.

I don't think the but storage is used to argue we shouldn't build renewable resources.

I see three parties to this argument in the states.

1. Climate change deniers - These people don't ever really ever argue about storage in good faith. Because they don't believe climate change is a problem.

2. Pro-Nuclear climate change believers - People who believe climate change is a problem that needs to be addressed and believe nuclear is probably our best bet. This is the group that brings up "but storage" all the time.

3. Anti-Nuclear climate change believers - These people believe that storage isn't really an issue or will be fixed shortly. They believe solar and wind is the solution to our climate change problem.

Group 2 is believes in replacing fossil fuels with renewables. But when it comes to finite amounts of attention, and funding they believe nuclear is a better option.
The thing is we don't have the best part of a billion people living in a desolate backward, almost jobless countryside that needed to be funnelled into economically productive occupations over the last 30 years, as China has. Most of our populations are already urbanised. The majority of the people who would live in this city already live in cities.

We do have urban housing shortages and all sorts of demographic problems, I'm not saying a project like this is by necessity flawed, but the motivating dynamics for us are very different from what has been happening in China and SE Asia.
Interesting project, seems to be available at https://www.elecrow.com/crowpi2-raspberry-pi-portable-laptop...

Disclaimer: Paying Protonmail customer

I hear you. But in that case, why not just use Gmail?

For $50/year I do expect Protonmail to be more like a life coach for privacy and surveillance. Not for me personally, but for the people who really need protection. It's just email, I can get it cheap anywhere.

For example, their one and only blog post about Tor is from 2017.

I expect better. Promote Tor on the homepage. Publish about what percentage of your users use Tor. Fight to change norms not just pass the buck.

Get with the times, Protonmail. Or someone else will do it for you.
The difference, I guess, is that someone wouldn't start protonmail in the US precisely because of this. If Swiss laws changed for the worse, they might consider changing their country of operations.
2nd answer - I'd love to build supply chain 2.0. An open source, well documented, creative commons licensed guide to making everything, along with an actual chain of suppliers, that is independent to a sufficient degree.

It would be awesome if there could be many of these, in smaller and smaller cells around the world as time went on, such that any disruption could be handled, to prevent an 1177 BC style civilizational collapse.
Honestly, I find it better than naming a chat protocol "Matrix", which either brings to mind the movie or the mathematical structure (it also makes it a pain to search for and distinguish from linear algebra libraries). I'm more bothered by the laziness of using a thesaurus on a competing product which was badly named to begin with (Element was previously Riot). I'd rather have it some nonsensical (Zulip, Jitsi) or misspelled something, partially descriptive (Rocket.chat), or better yet based on a portmanteau (Talkyard, Mattermost) or some kind of clever wordplay.
We begin to see why you are #1 in the leaderboard; you have help.

But concerning controversy surrounding ivermectin I found this interesting text:

An important controversial point to consider in any rationale is the 5 µM required concentration to reach the anti-SARS-CoV-2 action of ivermectin observed in vitro,17 which is much higher than 0.28 µM, the maximum reported plasma concentration achieved in vivo with a dose of approximately 1700 µg/kg (about nine times the FDA-approved dosification).24 25 In this sense, basic fundamentals for assessing ivermectin in COVID-19 at a clinical level appear to be insufficient. Among other reasons, we believe this might have led WHO to exclude ivermectin from its Solidarity Trial for repurposed drugs for COVID-19,12 which raises questions about the pertinence of conducting clinical studies on ivermectin.

> People don't carry game consoles around in their pockets all day

No, but most people also don't need SoCs which performance doubles every 2 years. If the software was properly written and optimised (which would be more common if the firmware developers expected the hardware to have a long lifespan), there would be no reason any phone manufactured in the last 7 years to be sluggish. Anyway most people just want their basic apps to work (e.g. phone, emails, whatsapp, agenda, hotel booking, photos, maps, chat, music player, etc.), none of which should require a very powerful CPU or tons of RAM...

Interpol won't tell you it's a Chinese request though. You can claim it's dishonest by Interpol, but not by the party receiving the request at the end of the line.
That’s inhabitants per acre. Dwellings is probably just under half of that figure.
I think it matters to communicate the language/tech in an open source project specifically.
Birdwatching and Hiking mostly

Birdwatching is a very rich hobby I’d recommend it to anyone.
Addendum to point 3. It's not just a metal can, it's a metal can with some people in it. You have to keep them alive and useful for roughly a week, not just fling them at the moon.
Just know it’ll be at least 2x as thick if not more.
As a very curious/inquisitive person who sometimes struggles to carry those tendencies over to my personal life, I love this question!

I’m in a rut with some of my personal hobbies partially because many of them are too similar to my day job. This thread is a golden trove of ideas.
Peak energy demand for planning is the yearly peak, not the daily peak. Thats why the duck curve mostly shows up in spring when solar production is high and cooling load is low, and total demand is substantially lower than summer.

All grids have a lot of excess production thats only used to meet occaisional peaks. This is not a bad thing in itself and not something new to renewables.

Wind only displaces gas and coal when governments aren't shutting down nuclear to persue it like in Germany, California, New York, etc.

That region is wildly over-populated for the amount of water available.

“Best” depends on your use case. I don’t even think a SQL database is an option for a chat app since it’s write heavy. FB Messenger uses HBase and Discord uses Cassandra and they’ve done their research at scale, so those could be possible options.
Probably because America has only about a quarter of the population that India has? Also, the ideal of the American homestead or even suburban home is one that doesn't place a high value on sharing space or being close to your neighbors.

Hi, one of the revolt developers here, We plan to have a built-in discord/matrix/etc bridge.
Sorry, I thought you were trying to understand why Chinese people might be happy with their government after you add it all up. If it's just cold war arguments and demonization, I can't help you with that.

Consider, even if you're that hardcore about it, 'know your enemy' has some value. They understand us but we don't understand them, and sometimes it's willful on our part. We'd rather tell ourselves a story.
how to become an investor?
I actually just wrote the policy on this topic for a space project I work on.

It really depends. It’s often not cheaper to use such commodity stuff unless you can tolerate a lot of risk. A lot of normal and automotive components are used in space, but it’s mostly simple stuff that’s relatively easy to qualify. A snapdragon cpu will basically never be fully qualified as a single component because you cannot control each state, let alone test it in each state (I am oversimplifying but bear with me). What you can do is apply overcurrent detection, external watchdog timers, redundancy and other techniques to mitigate the effects of radiation.

Then, you can almost fully test that mitigation in theory but not really because it will cost you millions of dollars with huge technical risk and the part will probably be obsoleted or made by a different fab next time you need it. So, you choose older proven easily-hard stuff where you can, or for anything mission critical or related to safety. Better to just buy the $200k rad hard cpu and save your millions.

Then, you are left with only bonus items such as this helicopter that simultaneously do not have many reliability requirements (because it’s not mission critical) and are not possible with traditional space grade technology due to performance requirements.

“Easier to work with” is only true when you take risks too. Yeah, you can start developing right away using a devkit and Linux, but if you find your project needs reliability or safety requirements, you may find you are spending person-years of software engineering time if it’s even possible at all. You might be required for the system to be deterministic and avoid dynamic memory allocation, for example.

Interestingly, students making cubesats don’t “know better” yet. And while the overall failure rate is probably bad on a per mission basis, it’s probably good on a per kg or per dollar basis. There’s a ton of cubesats and cubesat payloads that have raspberry pi’s inside for Leo missions.
> what does Protonmail offer in terms of privacy that is better than GMail or Outlook, given that USA and Swiss are both adhere to democratic standards.

Well for a start the privacy policy of Gmail allows them to use your data for advertising purposes.

Secondly, emails encrypted at rest, are still encrypted, so at least the body is protected.

Unless you were receiving emails that were encrypted prior to being sent that wouldn't be the case with Gmail.

The threat model for Protonmail is fairly clearly defined under the "ProtonMail recommended use cases". https://protonmail.com/blog/protonmail-threat-model/

The fact still remains email was probably not the right tool for these people as there is a lot of data stored server side.
Small price changes don't necessarily always impact purchases, as in the example of the diner the other poster gave. You also wouldn't pass up a gum stick if it was 57 cents instead of 56, and you wouldn't buy more if they were 10 cents. There was a term for this in my economics class but I don't remember, essentially elasticity of demand is not always a perfectly continuous function in reality. Somewhere like Wal Mart might have the price figured out perfectly by their team of researchers but probably not most non-chain restaurants.
It takes a lot of time and effort to measure those things. Presenting those measurements also requires some political skill, since bugs/outages/resource waste can also be misattributed to individuals.
That's a pretty weak response, most likely someone being negative about capitalists are already upset about all the ones you mention.

Disclaimer: Protonmail customer and considering switching

Wtf are you talking about here? No one expects a service to not be able to take logs or change their host country.

I do expect Protonmail to explain how they have to obey the law and what that looks like. That despite the picture of the Swiss Alps they can be compelled by the Swiss govt.

I do expect Protonmail to tell users about Tor, support Tor, and talk about limitations of Protonmail and Tor.

Sure, you could say this would be bad for business but this whole "security fortress" marketing scheme is unsustainable.
When you’re used to pay little amounts of money for things, it takes time to rewire your mind. I remember being upset at chocolate or cheese prices when I moved to California for at least one or two years.
Yeah, when you start thinking about what you could do for infrastructure in existing cities for $400B then you start realising what a bad idea this project is.

> All devices should come with unlocked bootloader. No exceptions.

Agree, but I would say it differently : users ought to be able to push their own keys while keeping the "secure boot" feature. e.g. "fastboot key push <key>"...
