I have a real problem with pieces like this that define "recession" in terms of abstract measurements of bits of the economy. Real recessions are about actual people and their lives, and although there's a definite correlation between the sorts of measures cited here and people's lives, it's much weaker than the article implies. We have very low unemployment right now, and most the features of a people-affecting recession are absent. Yes, the economic situation is really complicated and has some worrying signs, but calling it a recession based on the quoted numbers even when they are embedded in a not-seen-in-100-years context seems rash to me.

Every IQ micro and battery you add adds more ability to deal with current surge requirements. On my 8.5Kw system with 30KwHr of Enphase LFP batteries, I can handle turning on AC when I have full sun and partially charged batteries without going to the grid.

AC is a difficult load. Get the inrush current here: https://www4.enphase.com/en-us/support/faq/how-support-hvac-... and you will be able to figure it out.

Your refrigerator will be fine. Its locked-rotor amperage requirements are small compared to AC.
The study was barely scientific. The researcher was his own test subject, and the result has never been replicated. Also, most crashes probably occur under conditions where the driver can't be aware of whether the cyclist is wearing a helmet or not. "The cyclist suddenly came out of nowhere" is a common defense.
Risk compensation or risk homeostasis is one of those hypothesis that sound good to economists and the moralizing class, but has never been proven.

After a while assimilation and integration occurs and thus the argument would not apply to present day California. The U.S. made no attempts to incorporate Panama, as a whole, into the U.S. Poor Panamanians were prevented from getting mangoes in the Canal Zone. It took rioting and deaths before the Panamanian flag was flown in the Canal Zone. I don’t think the comparison to California is apt.
There is a story that Verrocchio hung up his pallet after seeing how good one of the pupils in his workshop was at adding a cherub detail to one of his paintings. The pupil’s name was Leonardo. The story is likely apocryphal but to your point, the ‘factory’ model isn’t new to art.
This is one of those situations where there is a lot of fear and anecdotes but data shows that more accidents and injuries occur with helmets than without.

A company should design their safety protocol well and it includes what equipment workers should and should not wear to protect them best.

So prohibiting helmets is very responsible. Criticizing them seems to be taking an irrational stance that it’s better to address your feelings than the actual reality of what happens.
So basically a trigger warning for the mentally weak to manage their crippling envy?
Can you elaborate? The US has such a high incarceration rate for in European eyes often benign offenses that I find that statement hard to believe even though I don't know the Dutch laws (I'm German). E.g. I can't imagine a Dutch person being incarcerated for injuring a cyclist unless it's on alcohol/drugs. I can totally imagine that for the US though. But I might be totally wrong. Would be really curious for some details.

My opinion on this might also be heavily and incorrectly influenced by popular media sprinkled with a few factual statistics that reinforce the bias.

What isn't a ponzi scheme these days? If you're passively investing in stocks, it's a ponzi because of the reason you outlined. However, if you're actively investing and bought a stock that's a little too popular (eg. tesla), then that's also a ponzi because "the company doesn't make a profit and the way people are making money is from new investors paying older investors". Hell, even if you only buy blue chip stocks with reliable earnings, some of your original complaint is still there (ie. people mindlessly buying it because they know it's reliable, new investors paying old investors).
It's inevitable, inattentive other drivers will eventually hit one of these cargo bikes no matter how safely their operators are riding.
At the risk of getting semantic...

Value is not a single concept. The value of something to me is different to to you. And for both of us it changes over time. Value cannot really be defined, let alone measured.

So we are stuck with prices. And prices are sort of connected to value. But the connection is very non linear.

We can know the price of crypto (or gold or shares or credit default swaps). But it's value is purely a matter of personal taste...

It seems silly to me to bother replying with a comment that just says "Yes" but I guess to elaborate I think that there's clear evidence that a ton of post processing is harmful to people's body image perception. A marking that makes clear this is not a "real photo of a real person" would make a ton of anxiety go away without literally regulating away the fun parts of photo editing.

I think it's fantastic to incentivize people posting photos that are unedited beyond brightness and contrast (ignoring focus and stuff) even though I know just photo composition is enough to significantly alter a photo already. I've taken enough photography courses to know that a good photo looks much better than a bad photo even without airbrushing. But at least it's based on the physical world still rather than entirely in an algorithm, I don't know where else you'd draw a line even if there is a little grey area.

I use data oriented design a bit, and also fsms constantly. I feel like fsms contract dods intentions a little: dod likes to imagine that every function just has a bunch of data it iterates over and that the logic doesn’t have to worry about application state that way. However, that is never true, and you end up adding application state variables all over your data tables so your fsms or other techniques can figure what step in a multi step process they are at for that element. At that point, it feels more and more like oop but without any encapsulation and the paradigm is starting to give me doubts. Honestly curious about this
When?

A lot of people are getting 10 years out of a pack down to about 80% capacity.

With careful management that same pack can run at around 80 percent for.. a long time. Cells start becoming dangerous and getting cut out of the circuitry, a 60% lithium battery isn't really a thing, they come in full, worn out, and dead.

20 years maybe? So after 30 years we recycle them.

Edit to add: a use pattern like this is ideal from the perspective of recycling. When you're taking a hundred tons of battery out of commission at once, there's incentive to be thorough.

Just to put an extra-fine point on this...the backup generators are typically fossil fuel fired, so the unpaid externalities apply to those as well.
Nothing has changed.

For all the polarizing division in US politics on the issue of foreign policy (and even on many domestic issues) the two major parties are completely aligned to protect and benefit the capital-owning class.

Sanctions on Cuba? This is not because Cuba or Castro is "bad". We have absolutely no problem propping up horrific dictators as "allies" when it suits us (eg Pinochet, MBS, Saddam Hussein until it didn't suit us, even Erdogan, arguably even Netanyahu). What's the real issue with Cuba? Castro nationalized assets and resources that belonged to US corporations.

Sanctions on Venezuela? Again, Venezuela took the unacceptable step of nationalizing their oil assets. And with Russia's unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine now threatening the energy sector, suddenly the Venezuelan sanctions aren't as important as we made out [1].

Sanctions on Iraq following the first Gulf War? Consider the words of our then UN Ambassador later Secretary of State Madeline Albright [2]:

> In that now-iconic interview, veteran journalist Lesley Stahl questioned Albright – then the US ambassador to the United Nations – on the catastrophic effect the rigorous US sanctions imposed after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait had on the Iraqi population.

> “We have heard that half a million [Iraqi] children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima,” asked Stahl, “And, you know, is the price worth it?”

> “I think that is a very hard choice,” Albright answered, “but the price, we think, the price is worth it.”

The US government works for the Bezoses, Gates, Buffetts and Musks of the world. Never forget that.

I remember when I got started with webdev around 2002, a lot was built on flat files. And so did I, because that’s how my “internet mentor” did it: guestbooks, bulletin boards, mailing lists, shoutboxes, CMSs. All in flat files, except I used php and not Perl like him.
Are we sure about that? The cave paintings at Lascaux are of recognizable animals. Egyptian and Maya art are naturalistic too, and highly refined toward realistic portrayals.

For most of Western art's history, content and style were both dictated by the patron. Even the ideas we hold around art and freedom of artistic license had to wait until the 1800s and the Salon de Refusé to come into existence.

Most buyers and makers of art today still gravitate toward figurative drawing and naturalistic landscapes. It seems like we have always used art primarily to reflect and comment on the real world.
Of the negative effects of IG, knowing which photos have been digitally altered doesn't seem high on the list. I'm not sure who you'd be significantly helping with this feature.

Even if this does solve a user problem, it'd be difficult to make this label accurate for photos altered outside the app. An inaccurate label might be much worse than not having a label.
Yeah, I used edges as a tell.

For instance, the train at dusk on a bridge was really well composed overall, but some of the bridge cables were slightly transparent.

I think the ultimate solution would be a policy for fair and slightly premium return value for dead battery from manufacturer upon battery exchange or sale.
It will make companies recycle their own batteries, get customer financial reason to recycle it and also a steady second supply of rare/expensive raw materials for producing new batteries which will reduce pressure on existing resources.

Risk-free loss? But maybe it's better than cash, the only other risk-free alternative? Perhaps you're paying for preservation of capital as the asset bubble deflates, and maybe that's not a bad deal?
True, though it appears to be the same liquefaction risk that above homes are subject to. [1] Geological surveys would be more important and I suspect compensatory insurance would be harder to acquire. That said if the automation brought the cost of these units down far enough then perhaps only liability insurance would be required as the unit could potentially be recycled if it were designed with that in mind. One could rent an excavator at $150 to $400/hr depending on size required to remove the top soil. If the rooms were modular then the excavator could lift or maybe even drag out the damaged room to be swapped out. If not modular then a crane would be required.

There are bomb shelter companies designing underground facilities that can withstand earth movement and allow the occupants to escape harm. I won't link to those companies as I feel they are over-priced and this could be done much more efficiently with advancements in automation and recycled materials. For small facilities like homes I believe this is a mostly solved problem.

A harder problem in my opinion would be a commercial mine due to the size/scale. Steel I-Beams and steel plates throughout a lengthy/deep mine would be very expensive as opposed to the wire mesh and 8' anchor bolts and shotcrete used today. A modular home would be far less likely to cross liquefaction and plate fault boundaries.

Aren’t the at fault vehicular manslaughter laws in the US the same for drivers who hit cars, cyclists, and pedestrians? If you kill a cyclist in the US and you’re at fault, that’s likely jail time (same for hitting a car or pedestrian).

If inflation somehow keeps rocking at 8.5% for a decade straight we have a much bigger problem on our hands than the relative yield of a treasury bond. Technically anything is possible…but I’m willing to risk saying that won’t happen.

This demands proof, citation, and of course, controlling for how many cyclists in an area wear helmets vs. not.
I think this fits into a larger pattern where someone asks a question that touches on an area where they don't understand (or maybe just don't care) that there is a lot of complexity someone will have to deal with, and even then results will be far from perfect. The asker might know this, but think that a partial solution is better than the current situation.

There is a limit of resources and economic output per year, the ones
owning the more productive processes will get a progressive bigger share of the
output. More and more, lots of activities are zero-sum and the long term is a complete zero-sum. [3]

It's not a view from mainstream economists, because many do not want to be seen as heirs to Karl Marx ( an Economist let's not forget, not a politician).
It's also a discourse popular from a certain political current, that spouses the "we can all benefit mantra".

I prefer to use Constrain Theory [1], and be reminded that if somebody creates a more efficient Amazon, faster, cheaper, better then Amazon will not prosper. If somebody opens a new service, or creates a new product, there will less disposable income from the customers of this product to shop at Amazon.

Reminds me of a story, normally told with several variations so my details are not exact.

Bogle himself talks about a bigger danger than price discovery etc - when all companies are owned by index funds effectively nobody owns them - and so they’ll be run by the managers for the managers.

It’s likely that we need to actually take ownership and not just let everything go as it goes forward.
The shock from the Target and Walmart earnings that caused the single largest drop since the 80s for both companies was not just the pain of inflation that is adding to their costs but also from rising inventories because consumers seem to be already sacrificing discretionary purchases.

Will be interesting to see if discretionary spend continues to meaningfully drop and whether we will actually start seeing price cuts/discounts eg deflation as retailers look to reduce inventory.
I thought I noticed this in one of the Netflix movies I watched with my wife:

* audio sounded odd, like it was dubbed but it did match facial expressions. It lacked any reference to culture or geography, like it was made to simply swap out sound tracks in another language.
* the settings were minimized: house, hospital, vet… and not much else. This also was unnerving because it felt like it may as well have been shot in another planet.

I assumed the dialogue and the sets lack of references resulted from an effort to make it really easy to just swap audio tracks and launch it in another country with as little work on their end. I understand they’d want to do that but their cookie cutter formula resulted in a terrible movie.
Why? It makes more sense to remanufacture them into new batteries. This means less raw materials that need to be mined from the earth.
Yeah, not sure how more careful a rider you can be when you have your own toddler in a child-seat behind you — and yet my bike went down on an unexpectedly slick part of the pavement. I had a helmet on, as did my toddler.

I don't buy the argument that because someone has a helmet on they're intentionally (or even subconsciously) reckless. Shit can happen.
I have a ski helmet at home with a big crack in it. My daughter was wearing it. She's a cautious skier with a lot of training.
Being stable just gives it a certain risk profile: regular profits, with a chance of occasional apocalypse. Modest, of course, relative to the sum "under management." Two-and-twenty. The kind of game we've been known to lose.

I don't think it really matters what the underlying assets are. Once the bank runs, it'll probably run dry. "Equity cushions" don't work. The banks own shares suck as a hedge against a run. Assets do hedge against a run. But, once a run is truly happening... it's unlikely to stop. Eventually reserves run out. Assets, credit, etc. I don't buy the idea of assets "calming" a run. In a collapse, the assets are only good as a currency to literally pay out exiting holders.

That said, it's possible to keep the game going a long time. Decades even, depending on the levels of greed and luck.

Stablecoins are still new. The derivatives death star is still not fully operational.

You provided no data.
I used this and can recommend it, since it also shows you the outputs of different versions.

But as another commenter said, when I got to the point of needing to diff my notebooks, I realized that I could move some of the code into separate python files.

If you're a business analyst, one use case is if you need to process some data e.g. every quarter, but the data changes a bit every time so you need to update the approach slightly (e.g. data structure changes, new mapping rules). With nbdiff it's easy to keep track of changes while having some helpful visualizations in the same file.

The walk doesn't count because it's two blocks away and I walk anyway around regardless of whether I'm grocery shopping, but sure, throw in 3x5 minutes walking for 3 grocery store trips a week (I average 1 or 2 a week, but whatever.)

To that 3x5 minutes of walking to and from the store, add 3x10 minutes for walking around the aisles picking food off the shelf, and another 3x5 minutes for checkout. That adds up to an hour a week. That's far short of "a few" hours.
