> Geothermal wasn’t viable on the slope and with the space we had to work with, so we switched to an air source heat pump for exchange. The bigger issue was that the energy demands for the house, which included hot water heating for the pool and hot tub, outstripped the electrical supply we could get on a rural residential build: 400A. We eventually settled on supplementing our electrical generation with propane, which we had hoped to avoid. High-efficiency electrically powered water boilers and other mechanical systems are more advanced in Europe, but we found that subcontractors were wary of importing anything unfamiliar (and unrated for North America) and prefered to use gas.

Huh, as someone who wants one day to build a passive house to live in, this is all very interesting. Sounds like they're not getting quite as modern of a home as they wanted.

This is an interesting concept, but it lacks the "share what you find" idea that's behind my vision of the web :P
Shouldn't the people who use the resource more pay more for its maintenance and upkeep? Seems silly to force everyone to equally maintain a resource that not everyone equally utilizes.
But isn't the idea of a "utility" that it operates as a unique type of company that prices its services in sync with costs? In fact many utilities are explicitly cooperatives.

To me, "privatized utility" is an oxymoron and that point is just a company with a mandated or de facto monopoly.

Children with no commorbidities have NO reason to get exposed to the risk of taking the vacine. Yes, it's a small risk, but ANY vaccine must be a cost benefit weighted decision. Rabies is a 100% lethal disease, but that is not a valid reason for everyone to get vaccinated for it, the risks of vaccinating everyone in this case outweigh the risk that a randomly selected person would eventually die from rabies. This whole discussion is so stupid, from the beggining everyone could see the stats and see who was at real risk or not from this disease.
I see.

I agree with the generally good moderation and I'd like to see more of the low effort comments being removed. I have been noticing more juvenile jokes and puns lately.
This piece doesn't go nearly far enough.

Blue pill: prices are economic signals reflecting supply and demand and play five distinct roles in capitalist economies...

Red pill: prices are a statement of relative power between and among interacting entities that occasionally take economic factors into consideration, but only occasionally.

Subsidy irrationality and many other artifacts mentioned in this piece that are difficult to reconcile in a blue pill world make complete sense in a red pill world.
I think social media has shifted from wanting to keep up with friends and family to serving as a distraction from the general malaise most seem to feel. TikTok and Instagram are bright and shiny and distract people via images of attractive hopeful people. Facebook is just seeing that everyone else is doing as badly as they are or perhaps worse, better. I think it ties in with the boom in crypto, everyone is looking for a moonshot to escape. I think the country is going through something very unique, like a social despair and that companies need to adapt. I could be projecting.

> Retrieve the information based on some word I might remember

See, your memory is using some words as index to access stored information. And it's indexing it asap (well, some re-indexing probably happens when we sleep). Thus, I don't think an efficient digital memory extender can work without active human participation in indexing. Otherwise, it will produce a lot of garbage.

If you mean any kind of physical or mental issues I could face recently - definitely not. I have a family with 3 kids and my beloved wife supporting me.

I suppose it can be a result of me thinking of my career and what I can achieve by what actions. And, probably, I can admit that I am not as hot these days about making others' dreams coming true rather than some my dream, which makes me not so passionate about spending 12 hours a day to deliver some code.

These days in relations with the employer I think more about having a balance between what I get and what I give, rather than hoping for the boss to notice me and rewarding me a high position or an equity.

This allows me to plan how much income I can put aside in order to eventually start my own product/business.

By asking your question you made me to sit for quite a long time and think about that "other reason", it's quite insightful, thanks!
We have way more than enough for anyone who wants it.
I think that’s the consensus because Facebook specifically blamed TikTok on the earnings call. The question is if we should take that statement at face value.

It’s easier to blame competition than to admit that users are growingly apathetic towards your product (sans competition).

Facebook’s falling engagement, in and of itself, is great news for other social media apps.

TikTok’s rising engagement is, in and of itself, bad news for other social media apps.

I don’t think these two pieces of information net out poorly for other social media apps when overall social media usage is rising.

We’ll see in short order. Earnings calls are coming up in the next 7 days.

are basically not true. This whole thread isn't saying everyone is a shill, there is ONE comment that said that.

Crypto is full of scams, just like traditional banking. Yes there are people who absolutely shit on crypto here, but there's also crypto enthusiasts who can't take ANY constructive criticism. Both extremes aren't warranted. Stop pretending that crypto advocates are being victimized here...they aren't.
It's called slipstream I believe.
Bizarre how Tiktok went from being a Chinese sovereign state/public enemy that was going to be 'bought' by Oracle/Walmart but is now starting to destroy the 2nd gen social networks, the original concern.
I've assumed for a while FB was being sunset'd/Yahoo'd to prep for a next gen surveillance capitalism engine but the TT Chinese data mining allowance continues to surprise.
Meanwhile the 'off' platforms - Rumble etc - continue to expand, and given Trump's vast small donation $100m+ war chest it seems likely there will increasingly politicized factional networks very soon

Really tough to tell because there's a lack of data. Parents aren't vaccinating their young children because they have the strongest immune systems and it's unnecessary.

I think two things happen as online communities grow.

1. People, consciously or not, start forming their comments with upvotes in mind.

2. People realize that positive comments don't generate as much discussion as neutral or negative comments. Less discussion, less upvotes.
I'm not sure I even understand what the point of this substack article is and it is oversimplified. Is it him just examining what net-metering is then realizing that the utility provides more value than just electricity generation and that is eye opening to him?

There's no conclusion and no cohesive argument just that the world is full of pricing distortions or that what you pay in prices isn't always exactly what you get (subsidizing some other development). Is it a take that NEM is flawed?

Is it him moralizing that the climate tech industry is taking advantage of subsidies? "Don't cling to a subsidy longer and harder than necessary" --> Please look at the on-going subsidies to Oil & Gas - its absurd.

If you really want to understand electricity generation pricing you should start looking at all the pricing nodes in real time and bring in energy storage, capacity payments, spinning reserves, non-spinning reserves, day ahead market, 5 minute market etc. On top of that you should start layering in how the federal government subsidizes different energy industries and add that layer on top of it. It's incredibly complex and certainly not clear what you are paying for.

The top layer of how retail get's comped for the generation (in California) is interesting and a long-term risk for the utility (if enough people/companies put solar on roof and use NEM) if solar generation truly takes off. Long way to go as someone who works in the industry.
I would guess construction costs for this home would be around $2MM including labor, materials and management overhead, but excluding land.

The problem with Net Metering is that some politicians don't understand how electricity (and energy) works, but feel like they need to "do something" in order to tackle climate change.

Net Metering was a great way to subsidize solar when it was a niche market. Now it's not. IMO, we should stop subsidizing solar and start subsidizing home batteries. IE, only allow "Net Metering" if there is a battery, sized to match the panels, that the power company can control.

This way, we can make the system "win-win." The consumer benefits from cheaper electricity, and the power company benefits because they can tap the generated electricity when it's needed most.
Sports/eSports are more fun to watch live, because it's going on right now and you're finding out the results the same time as everyone else in the world is.

As for the SC2 bots, it sounds like they aren't very good. Chess bots, on the other hand, are, and these ones are playing a standard classical time control that is often used by human players. Time management is a super important part of this (indeed there are often separate neutral networks that are used to determine how much time should be spent thinking about a given move). The game inherently takes place live over a given window of time, and so long as that's true, why not stream it live too?

Given that the poster said norovirus immunity lasts from 6-24 months, having been infected before the vaccine wouldn't guarantee you're safe.

And while sure they could push back your vaccine requirement a few months, that'd require a fair amount of additional overhead and add an additional risk of having gotten a false diagnosis.

I just wanted to chime in (since you're being downvoted) that this is exactly what I'm doing and I viewed things roughly the same way as you.

The difficult part is finding a reasonable plot of land. During housing booms (bubbles?) land also tends to be overpriced, and you need to be aware of local regulations (how far well water needs to be from a leach field, etc.)

In my case, I'll only be required to go into work twice a week at most in Boston, so I'm building the house 3 hours away in Maine. I enjoy the rural lifestyle and also have personal connections to a builder - I'm not saying this is for everyone necessarily.

In this type of climate new housing can be justifiably built to an incredibly high level of insulation with only some intentional (and controllable) fresh air allowed. ICF is better than wood if you plan windows ahead of time. Eventually this will save you money in heating costs when you live in New England.

Anyway, yes it's still possible to build houses in America.
And your trust in the government. If your prior on the government is that they aren't to be trusted then it doesn't matter how good of a job the FDB did in analyzing the data -- you aren't going to believe what they release to the public.

I think this is the bigger issue. Most people I know who say, "I'll do my own research" are the same people who asked me what kind of computer to buy. And they know a lot more about technology than medicine. But its they don't trust the government.
This is one of the key concepts in how Codescene analyses a code base by mining the Git repo.

Right, the claim that renewables are cheaper than nuclear and other alternatives are a half-truth.

It's true that renewables can be highly affordable when the sun is shining but when the wind is blowing but the reason why they work with the current grid is that natural gas is highly available and cheap and the capital cost of gas turbine generators (very similar to jet aircraft engines) is very low.

Hydroelectric can fill some of the gap but at an environmental expense: if you want to support a healthy ecosystem you need a relatively continuous flow in rivers. If it is starting and stopping a lot you are depriving the ecosystem of a valuable service.

The idea that consumers can match demand and supply is also limited in applicability. If you turn off power to an industrial facility like a microchip factory you can destroy days if not months worth of production. Wholesale electricity prices can range from negative to astronomical and it is outright cruel and unrealistic to expect ordinary consumers to be exposed to that.

Options for power storage have improved dramatically in the last decade thanks to the development of electric car batteries but they are still orders of magnitude too expensive. If they follow the same curve solar has they could come within reach but with any setbacks they could remain science fiction.
He's BSing or just ill informed.

If you taper properly before the flat cutoff a squared off back (Honda insight is the quintessential example) is fine because the real turbulence happens a few feet behind the vehicle. At speed a blunt (even if it's rounded) nose just isn't great no matter how you cut it but with careful attention to corners, shape transitions and whatnot you can mitigate that quite a lot (modern crossovers with their bulbous front bodywork make heavy use of this).

This is a subject with a million gotcha's that add up to a lot. Be weary of anyone peddling rule of thumb solutions.

Getting Covid should be treated as though you got a vaccine based on the data I have seen, which also means its immunity effects wanes over time and would need to be boosted periodically either by reinfection or vaccine, again the vaccine being the safer approach.

Whether or not you should be "forced" to take it should be based on risk to others in the situation that it is being forced, just like you are "forced" to not speed while driving on a public highway.

I am not sure what the current latest scientific data is but my understanding is that virus and vaccine both reduce the risk of a subsequent infection, spreading the virus if infected and getting severe outcomes requires hospitalization (which reduces hospital capacity). Since this protective effect fades in both circumstances a recent booster would need to be "forced" if not recently having been infected assuming there is no issue with vaccine supply.
I'm shocked by how easily electricity prices are easy to find yet no one knows what theirs is! Example: https://utility.report

The thing that gets scarier about that - is that in the past I am guessing a "civil war" was probably not possible because you don't know what side anyone is really on. Everyone from every political background lives everywhere. Your neighbors.

> One of the differences between European and American trucking is that owners-operators are very common in US and not so much in Europe. These people own their own trucks and pretty much live in them for months at a time. Semi-trucks with conventional cabs feature longer wheel base, which makes them a little more comfortable. Also, they tend to have a lot of room inside. Owners modify their trucks to include huge living compartments – something not common in Europe.

I wonder why owner-operator truck drivers are more common in USA than Europe? Is it an externality of our lack of worker protections and safety net?
Cryptocurrencies[1] are trying to be decentralized and free of regulation. But it turns out the world is run by people who like regulation.

[1]: There are so many people in crypto with such diverse views that it doesn't really make sense to say cryptocurrencies are X for any non-tautological value of X. Some people are 'code-is-law' crypto-anarchists, and some people are actually sane and can't wait for the law to get its shit together so they can build their cool decentralised prediction market without accidentally losing the ability to take international flights or something.

Diesel engines have no throttle plate that controls the airflow into the engine.

The closed throttle plate in a gasoline engine is what creates a gasoline engine's brake effect, by pulling a vacuum in the intake below the closed throttle plate, which produces the brake effect.

With no throttle plate, the remaining mechanical components in a diesel engine provide minimal friction, certainly not enough to produce any brake effect.

The jake brake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_brake) converts the diesel engine into a huge air compressor when activated, which provides an engine brake effect. Unfortunately it also often creates a very distinctive, and often loud, sound from the exhaust as well.
