"what specifically drives the decision to burden the consumer with a significant cost?"

I wonder too. I know this is how most utilities work. My guess is that they want part of the cost covered up front in case your house burns down and nobody rebuilds there. And of course profits.

If it's an older refrigerator or a dusty house, check the refrigerator coils. In particular if it's set to a pretty cool setting but doesn't seem very cool or is running frequently it may be time for replacement.

You can also get any of a variety of temperature sensors (I like SensorPush) and stick one in the fridge to get a pretty good idea of how much it's running the compressor.

Another thing to look at if there's central forced-air heating/cooling may be whether it's set to have the fan always running. That can be useful in balancing temperatures between floors, but it's still a fan using electricity to move air.
> The black death killed a lot of the people who grouped in churches and ignored the common sense precautions of staying away from people.

Was that really considered common sense before we knew about germ theory? I'm not asking rhetorically; I'm legitimately curious about whether the average medieval peasant had any intuition about the fact that disease was communicable.
And those of us who may not have done it in multiple decades may just not remember.
As an engineer, I'm very interested in details of the fixes that went into the Apollo capsule as a direct result of the tragic Apollo 1 fire. It was about a year of re-engineering of it, and the accounts I've seen only dedicate a few sentences to it. Mainly changing the hatch design and not using 100% oxygen anymore.
Exactly, the first paragraphs read almost like satire.

I found the necessity to have a devastating impact on the planet's ecosystem fascinating. Even trying a "clean run" where you minimize pollution and number of killed aliens, you can't avoid the alien native's natural expansion. It's probably impossible to win without a lot killing.

That said, I don't think the game has bad intentions. It highlights the zero sum nature of resources and negatives of expansion at all costs.
I lost 20 pounds of fat/muscle in a month from Covid. I don’t doubt the bodybuilder having serious reductions there. It messed with my whole body in a way I still haven’t fully recovered from and that I can’t accurately describe to people.
Any decent economics HN is going to have to deal with amateurs kindly but also bluntly. (An amateur dilettante btw)
What do you mean "speculate"? Seems pretty straightforward: you're polluting and killing the native life. And? Do that in real life = bad. Do that in a game = ok. I think we all know that.
One way to do this without setting up a server or moving your phone number to another provider:

1. setup an unconditional redirect for all calls on your cell phone to a voip.ms DID that you set up ($1/month).

This redirect functionality is baked into the gsm system:

https://www.geckobeach.com/cellular/secrets/gsmcodes.php

2. On voip.ms, setup an IVR with a recorded message. Set it up to connect extension “1-2-3-4” or whatever your code is to your softphone. You should be able to whitelist numbers to auto-forward to your soft phone.

Cool thing is you can setup voicemail through this so you receive them as email attachments. SMS still works through your cell phone. Outgoing calls still go through your cellphone.

Doesn't Minkowski's work with hyperbolic space predate GR? I thought it was like a stepping stone between Special and General Relativity. I don't understand GR, I'm not even close and I tried for years twice or thrice to teach myself GR and I find it pretty impenetrable. Maybe I see Minkowski's work as a stepping stone because that's one of the paths that I was put into to understand it.
I don't think a video game necessarily needs to brush aside ethics: it's a game, you're allowed to be unethical.
I assume it's just an implied "if you leave here, your career in spaceflight is over, and you'll probably make the evening news (in a bad way) for doing it."

The 5 Cognitive Distortions of Founders
Any fuel you could generate on Mars would be overwhelmingly easier and cheaper to ship in from Earth; and you wouldn't need to land a million tons of freight on Mars first. A million tons of fuel delivered to LEO would take you quite a long way, and you could start immediately.

If you want to go somewhere beyond Mars, stopping there and then starting again just sets you back. (Same goes for the moon, or lunar orbit.) "Stepping stones" have strongly negative value in space transport.
Maybe the folks at MIT should look in to it
In this space, it is more they you don't want to lose all of the progress made in these older libraries. Coming up with a new ecosystem is an immediate race to parity with the older. And a lot of smart people were involved with that. (Such that you aren't competing with a single idea or implementation, but an ecosystem of them.)

Hats off for making a good shot. But don't be surprised to see reluctance to move.
Depending on the circumstances, yes. Probably not in this case, though.

Many of the treatments listed in the official NIH guidelines have significant negative side effects. Those are clearly acknowledged so I don't understand why you seem to think they're being hidden?

I tend to think it's going to succeed. Node is already getting displaced (by various server runtimes that hew more closely to the browser) - the true future of javascript remains where it has always been -- the browser.

deno is kind of a rust-wrapper around v8 -- how long before it becomes the api for the javascript engine used by the browser rather than v8 ...

I think (eventually) "import some_browser_only_api" will become an optional thing you can do when you want to make your code depend on browser only functionality -- with code that doesn't depend on the browser-only functionality able to run without it ...

Did you know that there’s over $8 billion of funding for building out regional clean hydrogen hubs?

Also, the vast majority of hydrogen will likely come from fossil fuel production.

I always believed that if a course assignment needed a student to look up anything online (provided that their background was solid enough), let alone the solution, this would be something professors would feel moderately self-conscious about.

However, I found out the hard way that also in respected universities, the actual assignments in "hard" courses were long-known, extremely challenging problems that were not really meant to be solved at this level, especially on a weekly basis.

Folks handing them in were often using solutions that were quite obviously inspired from online sources, if anything because of the weird methodology needed to solve some of them, without the course teams caring at all.

I think it helps to identify precisely what burned you out in the first place, and include if that was a specific person. Once you can identify one thing then that might give an idea of what to remove or resolve to bounce back from burnout. Otherwise, you go back into a meat grinder for more potential burnout in the future. In my case, it was my boss. I had to leave a job and I did, and my burnout evaporated.
These were the equivalents of 101-level classes, and passing a science 101 class, or even a bunch of them, is hardly equivalent to "excelling in the sciences". Doing actual scholarship, perhaps in understudied corners of the discipline where even basic reviews and surveys of existing work are hard to come by, is something entirely different.

You could potentially use a turbine engine as a generator in a hydrocarbon-electric setup. It would in theory be lighter, simpler, and require less maintenance.

For now there's already a lot of momentum with ICE and they are very polished products. But I think the potential for turbine is there given the shift towards electrification.

Some hurdles include working with materials that can tolerate very high stress, and finding ways to improve efficiency from significant heat loss.

IIRC they continued to use 100% oxygen in space. O2 N2 mix on the ground at above sea-level pressure, replaced with 100% at low pressure in space (5PSI). Thereby mitigating the need for N2 tanks and associated equipment, and also mitigating the fire risk on the ground when above ambient pressures were required in the spacecraft.

After Apollo they moved away from 100% O2, I think the ISS has a similar composition and pressure to terrestrial atmosphere.

There's a "game" called Critterding, which was passable at evolution and stuff, lots of knobs to manipulate the creatures and environment. Then someone made another version called Critterdrug which adds a "shared canvas" that all creatures can see and manipulate if they want/can.

I'm hoping that some day the source code is released, i've talked to the critterding person, but they don't seem amenable to it. Critterdrug is probably my favorite evolutionary algorithm example.

I'll never be able to do the game(s) justice, even if i link a video of the shared screen.

Why is it anymore ethically dubious than having more solar or wind power in first world countries? But no, I'm not necessarily saying that.

Great questions.

I can only assume they'll maintain it; this was quoted to me as a "construction co-pay". I would have to do some digging on if others have this high of a cost, but I'm literally two blocks from a school, there are hundreds of single-family homes around me, and I had Charter when I rented here only eight blocks up a hill. Baffling.

Co-WISPers might number in the dozens if I'm lucky and ambitious; I know of some high quality colocation spots and we have a lot of line of sight opportunities but I'm sorely unqualified to actually run a WISP but out of principal I might have to just to stick it to Charter/Spectrum......

I was looking into Starlink Premium, $2500 for each hardware + $500/mo for "premium" service which looks to be for low-latency (20-40ms) around 300mb/s. Potentially could recruit some neighbors to split that cost, but I would be better off with T-Mobile-supported 5G hotspotting, which is my current approach. It's enough to get by, certainly not enough to support a significant home power user network.

In my article I talk about the people that Einstein collaborated with in his struggle to arrive at the field equations. Minkowski was not one of those people (although he was one of Einstein’s math teachers in school).

I don’t think this work of Minkowski’s that you mention is directly relevant, but, even if it’s part of the mathematical background, Minkowski is not part of that particular story. Now we talk about "four dimensional" spacetime, and that point of view is largely due to Minkowski. But it wasn’t Einstein’s point of view, and for years Einstein remarked that he didn’t see the point—it seemed needlessly formal and academic to him. But he sort of came around later.
