Yeah that's what this community likes to do with conflicting information.

We trust the CEO on his word, but a Gadsden flag hanging out of a window must be either a fake rendering or someone else must have snuck onto an airport runway and hung it there in an unrelated event and waited for this event to post it.
That sentence has one of the highest amount of citations I've seen on Wikipedia.
It's hard to avoid the obvious similarities between parties.

A Republican claims climate change isn't happening, or isn't human caused, or isn't a big deal, or we'll solve it somehow, and does nothing.

A Democrat claims climate change is the biggest issue facing humanity, it's a huge deal, it's all our fault, we have to take control of the economy to solve it, and... then does nothing.

Biden's plans didn't even hold up in the face of the risk of slightly increased gas prices before he was asking OPEC to do us a solid and pump more, please. They at least had the good sense to tell him to solve his own problems.
I often hear criticisms like this (and it's perfectly sound criticisms).

My counter-argument is that, at the time, given our resources and our understanding we had to take wide scale measures and a lot of compromises were made and negotiations happened between people, institutions, governments, etc. so that we wouldn't just shut down everything. I believe most of the time these oddities and weirdness are consequences of those compromises and it's still the case.

Sometimes it's easy to frame things like that and sometimes it's not (especially when the measures is only put in place for 3 days or a week. Eg when they asked people to sit alone next to train windows, rather than all next to each other or when they cordoned off books in supermarkets so bookstores that just reopened could have clients). I don't know how far off the mark I am.
> Those that do have such detailed maps, if they do, probably aren't likely to talk about them.

Though I think it's a reasonable inference that the US is probably didn't have them in 2005 for the whole ocean:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_San_Francisco_(SSN-711)#Co...

> The seamount that San Francisco struck did not appear on the chart in use at the time of the accident, but other charts available for use indicated an area of "discolored water", an indication of the probable presence of a seamount. The Navy determined that information regarding the seamount should have been transferred to the charts in use—particularly given the relatively uncharted nature of the ocean area that was being transited—and that the failure to do so represented a breach of proper procedures.

> Nonetheless, a subsequent study by UMass Amherst indicated that the Navy's charts did not contain the latest data relevant to the crash site because the geographical area was not a priority for the Defense Mapping Agency.
Such a market need grows daily. Hopefully only a matter of time.
No, he's not. Those are low-priority bugs and the only thing that made them stand out was the fact that he dropped them online without a patch. RCEs get priority in patching, and his priv esc issues were not as important.
My respect for William Shatner is only increased by his words and reaction. Meantime, my respect for Bezos is only lessened by his.
The construction of (fairly) new nuclear power plants near the shared borders with Belgium and France is actually an argument I hear quite often.

In many debates people argue about why Germany should go ahead and quit using nuclear if the neighboring countries keep building and running new plants, also posing a huge risk to Germany in the event of a catastrophic failure (actually the risk in case of a failure is probably higher for Germany than it is for France or Belgium).
PinePhone is our only hope! Still a ways off from being consumer ready but it's heading in the right direction.

True the remarkable is “more open” than the iPad… but not open enough to let me install software that matters to me.

> In fact people historically have taken advantage of cheaper night time electricity prices to shift heating to night time.

Night time is usually when heating is most needed.

Shifting AC to night time in hot regions would be more impressive.
A country run by gangsters. Mass organ harvesting & genocide together. It isn't what they are doing that is galling however; if you were to go to Africa you would see plenty of comparable savagery. It is that the CCP are making these affronts to human dignity with competitive efficiency and scale. They make an art out of being abominable.

Imagine NatSoc Germany was never defeated, and their economic might lead us all to agree to disagree, and let them do as they please, so long as we can trade to our mutual benefit. I think that is what is going on. Appeasement.
The larger point still stands.

Investments look more bad than they should when:

- We ignore externalities

- We ignore that demand changes too, whether in response to monetary magic, or simply do to elasticity (it was always there, we just didn't know it).

This applies to both Keynes's examples and nuclear.

Their part to fix the problem would be to make sure they're able to do the maximum to affect things at a macro level. That means not bothering to obsess about individual acts of emitting carbon, or putting finite resources into guilt-mollifying individual carbon offsets. If an environmentalist needs to attend a conference where they can better-influence the movers and shakers of the world, then they should take the most convenient form of transport to get there, not a sailboat.

Yeah, I do taxes for a living, and people seriously underestimate how hard it is for anyone to hide a substantial amount of money that was made in the U.S. As soon as you want to do anything with it besides hide it under your mattress, there's going to be a record of it that either the state or federal government can obtain.
You are structuring your argument as if it was a one off and not a culminating crescendo for some people. News have been getting progressively worse over the past few decades. This just happened to be a very clear and visible sign, because it is just hard to find something so visibly wrong.
It's not just some money it's insane amounts of money and even then you can't always do it, for example because you cannot own slots for flights you don't actually operate. Those revert back to the airport and get sold to someone else.
I've been working in the industry for 15+ years (including internship). I've job hopped every few years (currently working for a FAANG company), but I know devs with similar experience who have had the same job the whole time. Both can be very successful.

I think the biggest differentiator between a good engineer and bad engineer is ownership. Care about your work (not to the point where you have no work/life balance) and be passionate about your craft. That's what separates a good engineer from a bad engineer.

As for your career, remember this is your livelihood. If a company is falling apart, go look elsewhere. If a company isn't giving you a raise you deserve, talk to your manager.

An observation of Griddy during the Texas disaster shows that we should be very careful in designing a real time price mechanism that’s applied to consumers. In the worst case this can take the form of passing all the risk and cost onto consumers who cannot handle this. This is particularly pernicious for HVAC, because during outages this puts consumers in the un-enviable position of deciding between their savings and not freezing/boiling to death.

Some loads can be moved, such as ev charging, but others cannot. The issue is that a lot of consumer load is less shiftable than you suppose. House heating (presumably we’d electrify this, because global warming) cannot be deferred for too long, and most households go through a hot water tank a day. These loads can be deferred for short periods of time, but proposing that people go without hot water or temperature control for even moderate periods of time is a political non starter. From an infrastructure standpoint it’s also worth mentioning how many people die and how many buildings get ruined by even a few days without power during severe weather events, which is often exactly when prices would rise.

A holistic view of the situation shows that while there is some smart grid stuff we can do, we still need to provide a guaranteed minimum worth of power generation no matter what. Ideally this would come from grid level storage so that we can run everything off renewables, but we’re just not there yet. The reality is that until we get there, the choice is between nuclear power and some other form of fossil fuel, typically natural gas. I think on the whole we’d be well served to commission one last set of nuclear power plants to get us through this crisis, and plan on decommissioning them in 2050 or so once grid level storage makes them obsolete.
Both are correct actually: Schröder's Social Democrat/Green government first decided to phase out nuclear in 2002, then Merkel's Christian Democrat/Liberal coalition (partly) rolled that back in 2010, only to change their mind in 2011 after Fukushima...

I am following you here, but I also took this another way.

I think what this comment was about was a person who recognizes his own mortality but could put that against the backdrop of the bigger picture of our own shared human mortality.

I believe Shatner was recognizing the pure inhospitability of space to human life and the fact that we are propelling ourselves into it. If anything I think this was precisely a commentary on the very nature of the risk and adventure that space represents. Also a recognition of how much we thread the needle even just living on the Earth.

For if it were not that true exploration and adventure came at risk of life and limb, if the very risk of living did not include the risk of death, then what is it really? Thinking of the early explorers of the Earth, many who died doing so, and who risked it all in the name of exploration and adventure.

If I ever heard a more realistic characterization of what it truly means "to boldly go" where no one has gone before... I can't think of it.

I am eager to see further debriefing from Shatner, I think he will have much to say. In so far as they wanted to achieve sending a different kind of personality to space, to learn what human experience would be like, I think this was an incredible success.. putting all the commercial aspects aside.
As a correlation, when it's being touted as the most shocking news ever on OANN, newsmax and the washington times, in addition to fox news, you can be absolutely sure it's absurd.
Considering this came from an economist, obviously not. Just that we've been doing it wrong.

(Consider this year's Nobel, awarded to people who demonstrated....we were doing it wrong.)
It's completely logical: the Russian and Chinese ruling classes want to hide their ill-gotten money from taxes, from journalists, and from being arbitrarily seized by greedy officials and well-connected rivals. Thus, they move money from the somewhat transparent Russian and Chinese institutions to the safety of more murky Western economies.
They have been underpricing themselves to maintain position against other companies. Regulations keep costs increasing. Unions keeps labor prices increasing.

Did you expect your $200-300 cross-country flight to really give much of a profit to airlines after airport taxes, landing fees, fuel, maintance costs plus labor, insurances and everything else?

Those flights should cost 10x as much if you want the golden treatment fliers received in the 60s.

> We trust the CEO on his word, but a Gadsden flag hanging out of a window must be either a fake rendering or someone else must have snuck onto an airport runway and hung it there in an unrelated event and waited for this event to post it.

um... the post you're replying to says:

>> Or else one dude flew a flag and also there was a massive scheduling failure and the two are unrelated.

and also

>> Either there's a vast conspiracy that involves NOAA, the FAA, airport admin, air traffic controllers, Southwest, the pilot's union, etc.

So...

1. I'm not just trusting the CEO.

2. I never claimed the picture is doctored (because even if it's not... who cares? What is that evidence of? One person. I don't need to check the veracity of the picture because it doesn't prove anything substantive... it's an anecdote, and a poor one at that.)

Try again.
AOC rebutted this point years ago. I'm starting to think we will be having these pointless discussions for decades or until the system completely collapses. There is just so much disinformation out there and it is still being peddled today in 2021.

I have to wonder, given that astronauts in the past have talked about getting the Overview Effect from seeing all of the Earth pass beneath then, and that they'll have had hours to take this in - do people going 100km up over a single spot for 10 minutes really experience it?

Or have they just heard that the Overview Effect is a thing, and are projecting whatever it is they do feel while they're up there, onto it?
It may be pragmatic - but politically tough - to keep the nuclear plants open longer, if that can be done safely, and invest heavily in renewables + storage to take all that awful lignite/coal power generation offline. And phase out the nuclear plants once enough (storage) capacity has been built.

I wonder if people have modeled for how fast that could be done, and how expensive it would be. We have the technology (cf. grid scale storage, there is a fascination array of options, several of which are tried and tested), it's "just" a matter of scaling it up.

The current plan only phases out coal by 2038 which seems... way way way too late. Cf. https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/spelling-out-coal...

> we’re not there yet.

The UK power grid has pumped hydro storage for decades to handle a huge tick in power demand every time the BBC goes to commercial break during a very popular program, as everyone simultaneously goes to make a cup of tea with their several-kilowatt electric kettle.

> Right now the choice is between a nuclear power plant during these moments, or a natural gas one.

False dilemma. You left out energy storage, of which there are multiple proven technologies.

Iron chemistry batteries are looking like the biggest win. Non-toxic, cheap, simple, easily scaled, easy to build and maintain, and the materials needed are bountiful...and there are working production systems right now.
We're following the 1970s "Limits to Growth" predicted curves pretty closely - and, you're right, we're almost exactly at the top of the energy and industrial production ones before the tip over and head down at an alarmingly fast rate.
Yes, it should. But this drives up the cost of new housing when we’re already struggling to produce enough housing of any quality. As always, these things come with trade offs.

(For the record my house is very well insulated because I agree with you emphatically, but I also recognize that I have the material means to afford that insulation/construction cost that not everyone else is able to)

That's precisely what I did and apparently that was my mistake. Hope you learned something at least.
I don't think anyone actually believes this number. Think about what your life would be like if you literally believe the end of the world is coming in 7 years. I certainly wouldn't have kids. And if I were trying to change the world, I certainly wouldn't be focusing on Western countries who have had their emissions going down in absolute terms for the last few decades. I would focus on China who is the largest contributor to CO2 and is the fastest growing contributor. But dunking on the Chinese government isn't as satisfying as blaming the west.

Sure it might not be fair that China would never be able to enjoy the luxuries of the US, but we're talking about the literal end of the world. So lets focus on the place where we can make the most impact.

And to those that will reply that it's all actually driven by western countries outsourcing dirty production to poor countries, if you look at the trade adjusted CO2 emissions (excludes production for trade purposes), you'll see that consumption based emissions are still ~90% of China's CO2 ( see China: Consumption-based accounting: how do emissions compare when we adjust for trade?)

There are bad actors in every field. I would just be careful in using such anecdotes to distract from the overall message, which as you spelled it out in detail seems sound (with perhaps just a note that a 5X ROAS is not bad for most unbranded campaigns, but I get your point).
It feels like it is close (but not really) to a trademark violation. If I search for "A" and get a screen full of results for "B", if I need to scroll to even see mentions of "A", then that feels like it is really close to "passing off". I could see an argument for saying that this "passing off" causes customer confusion that requires trademark enforcement.

I realise that would probably be an impossible argument to win under current law (IANAL), but it _feels_ so very close.
Why not? You can always buy some beer...
This. That map explains why so many people people are afraid of nuclear.

In 1986 one plant had a major accident, and look at all that contamination across western and northern Europe, thousands of kilometers away. Hundreds of millions of people were affected, and the consequences are still quite real, 35 years later.

Sure thing, but at least most european countries have a lot easier when it comes to lower the emissions from cars.

Seems incredible wasteful for everyone to have their own car. Perhaps it will be more of a taxi service in the future with electric cars but until then even electric cars does release a lot of carbon when they are created and their batteries etc is not that great when they expire.
Indeed and this is yet another aspect of the car dependency trap. It's so hard to move around in the built environment without a car that individuals will rightfully ignore licensing requirements to tend to their own affairs. Once you force all of your infrastructure to be dependent on a single mode of transport, this mode becomes essential to functioning of the system. This is why it's so difficult to encourage multimodal transport in the US.

In the wizard you get modules. You can hot swap modules because the are really USB-C under the hood. The laptop essentially has 4 USB-C ports and a module system to plug adapters in. You can avoid dongles this way.

I'm not entirely sure why they did 4. 4 is more than other competitor laptops in this size category have. It could have to do with what the processor can handle or the space in a form factor of this size.
