Yes, in a neutral environment everything can be discussed and its a "healthy". The problem is that hydrogen was used as a discussion poison. It uses up air and blocks talking about the important stuff. You cannot discuss every crackpot idea for everything always.

I am tried of it. It only got traction in the first place because it was something that seemed to work "like people are used to" ie. tanking fuel at a fuel station and at the same time needed "development". This made it a nice way to show your car company was hip and with the times and at the same time didn't mean you actually had to build the things since more development was always needed. Battery powered cars were always too easy to create into whatever disapointing lackluster form they had at that time in history.

For me unless you preface that you have an interesting use case for hydrogen or solved one of the fundamental inefficiencies in getting hydrogen and using it then I am not interested in hearing about it. Especially in combination with personal transportation.

Oh and Green Hydrogen functionally does not exist. Ditto Blue Hydrogen (as in that CO2 sequestering probably doesn't work). That leaves grey Hydrogen from steam reforming and that how hydrogen is made from natural gas creating a lot of CO2. Shilling for Green Hydrogen basically means Shilling for grey hydrogen and that is the worst.

I have some hope that pyrolyse will be used in the future instead of steam reforming because it seems you actually can sequester that carbon it creates but its less efficient by a lot vs steam reformation and emitting CO2.

Paying Google for things was a massive pain in the ass for us at times too, until we were "big enough". I don't know exactly how we earned the privilege of easy payments, and there may have been some decision other than a mechanical threshold.

What you're saying is false. There isn't much fraud. Also elections are double checked. There are recounts if margins are too small. States like Colorado do risk limiting audits of every election.

A lot of domestic water meters have a simple backflow prevention valve built in.

Though most of them are not easily testable like the commercial connection backflow prevention valves. If the property has non-potable water as well as potable water under pressure, then one or more commercial grade BPVs are necessary.

> without doing a iota of research into procedures which are a century old?

Assuming you're referring to procedures around altering one's body to resemble the opposite sex, there're no long term studies on the effects of modern drug treatments, such as lupron, especially when given to children and adolescents.

The highly ideological activists surrounding this issue have made this field a wild-west, and I fully expect in the coming years, there will be more and more similar stories coming from women in particular, who have been damaged by inappropriate hormone treatments prescribed for what turn out to have been unrelated mental health issues.
This is a fundamentally wrong rule because, as we have learned, researchers and reviewers basic competence has come into play repeatedly. The further you get from quantitative physics, the worse it gets.

That said, if you are going to criticize something based on the idea "this result doesn't agree with my preconcieved notions so I'm going to say that their sample size was too small, the effect size was too small, or they made some sort of incorrect calculation, and conclude the paper can't be trusted", you owe it to yourself to read the paper carefully enough that you can make the determination they made a major error.

Unlike most people, I read the conclusion, then the methods section. For most papers I can't get enough from the methods section to conclude that I trust the authors to make their claim, because most methods sections are missing major details on how the corrections/controls were made.
Bankers are well positioned to profit whether crypto dies or succeeds. Disabuse yourself of any notion that crypto will "defeat the banking system". It is cool technology and might move commerce forward (remains to be seen) but any empowerment of "non bankers/elites" will be limited to those who have had time/education for deep technical literacy. Average people will largely use crypto solutions through intermediaries who will be "new bankers" and pull lots of the same BS we don't like bankers for pulling. See: OpenSea insider trading
This is why research ontologies split labels from concepts, and link them with contexts (e.g. citations). When parties join into this framework of understanding then discussions get down to the nitty-gritty details of what meaningful work can be done with the concepts. None of this says that any of it is "real", complete, precise etc., it says that if we agree on x, then we can do something useful, y. Want to label "the exoskeleton bearing 6 legged ... etc." a "fish"? Go ahead, we'll go back to think, read, and understand what is being discussed, and given this deeper understanding agree to do something useful (perhaps preserve said "fish"), or not, i.e. we'll do law-stuff in this case.

This of course doesn't work unless the parties agree to playing in the shared framework, otherwise labels/words have untethered power, which is typically what happens on the internet. It also isn't universally effective, sometimes going deep gets in the way of doing meaningful stuff.
While this is certainly an interesting take, it seems like you're cherry-picking data to tell a story that ends in the following conclusion:

>you'd expect a well-off socially accepted trans woman on HRT to live longer than a genetically identical cis man. She has an improved immune system due to lower testosterone...

I don't think this is a very factual conclusion. When it comes to the long term physical and mental outcomes of transgender hormonal therapy, we simply don't know. If we don't know the long term implications of infusing our bodies with synthetic hormones, then I would consider that to be a health risk.

While I fully support adult's decisions to put whatever chemicals they want to into their bodies, hormonal therapy seems like a health risk and is certainly, by any definition of the term, unnatural. I don't believe I am a bigot because of this opinion, either.
For a start, miners don't pay your local rates. They find something cheaper.
The guy manifested himself some lengthy prison sentence.
I'm not an expert on Bitcoin's power usage, however a few things spring to mind.

- Electricity costs are not constant everywhere, not everyone burning that power is spending the same amount as you (and in general, home farming Bitcoin using the cost of electricity in your area is probably not profitable, at least for most people reading this). It's almost certainly a mistake to use your local electricity rates as a baseline for how much money mining costs.

- Not everyone mining Bitcoin actually pays for their electricity, some of it is stolen. Some mining happens on hacked hardware, sometimes mining rigs tap into electrical sources that they shouldn't have access to.

And the really big reason that springs to mind:

- You are not paying the full electricity cost for mining Bitcoin in transaction fees, the generation of new coins is offsetting some of that cost.

Remember that Bitcoin is a speculative asset first, and a transaction method second. The network, and payout/fee structure for transactions are also constructed in a way that can mess with market forces a bit. There's a lot more going on than just "you want to spend money, pay enough to cover the electricity fees to make that happen."
I once met a programmer who, while broadly skilled, had looked around and seen that .NET programmers were in high demand: "So, I became a .NET programmer!", and things worked out well for him.

SEEKING WORK

Location: Remote

Remote: Yes

I am a generalist programmer but mostly been coding in Python for many years. I have mostly used it for scraping/automation and creating bots of different kinds and platforms(discord/Telegram/Slack etc) and connecting existing systems via APIs with these platforms. Speaking of scraping I have developed systems that maintain state of scrapers and give stats about it in a kind of dashboard, also which scraper got broken or not. But as I said I am a generalist so looking to work on something pretty interesting, either in finance , health sector or climate change. So, if you have some interesting idea then I can even negotiate in price, all I want to do is to work on something pretty interesting.

Besides Python I also worked on PHP and Go in recent past.

So talking about generalities, there are plenty of statistics that show that women have lower paying jobs and get paid less even for the same jobs. We can argue about the reasons but the fact that they are paid less has been shown many times, so if you are disputing it you should be provide some compelling evidence.

So the the question is are QA jobs lower paid or not. That's easy to check and is a pretty good (though not perfect) indicator of status. A quick Google would have shown you that this is generally the case. Funnily enough you will also find lots of dismissive posts which shows that at least some people think QA jobs are inferior, because "they don't code, but just use the software".
I’ve had a pretty good experience with Route53 on AWS. However, as with all things on the AWS console, it is very configurable and thus can be a bit confusing and over complicated.

I’d be interested in hearing about other smaller services that work well.

Nissan Leaf batteries have some of the worst designs for a car as they're air-cooled instead of liquid-cooled. There's really little comparison of the quality of those packs compared to practically every other EV out there.

> expensive home systems to recharge their batteries

It cost <$200 to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage and the charger was included.

> the cost of recharging network

I've spent ~$225 in charging cost to drive my EV ~8,200mi so far (8200mi / 3.5mi/kWh * $0.096/kWh). A 25mpg car (seems about normal for a crossover) going that distance would use 328 gallons of gas (8200mi / 25mpg * $3.50/gal). If we just say gas was ~$3.50 on average over the last year, that means I would have spent $1,148 in gas driving the same amount. Even if you were to amortize the entire cost of the outlet install in the first year of driving (which, I mean, you wouldn't, that plug will be fine practically until the house gets torn down), you're still talking ~$425 versus ~$1,148. And that's just the first year of ownership, this difference then compounds even more every year after.

Tell me again about how expensive $225 is compared to $1,148.
Why stop at 100 fans when you can have one winning lottery ticket or one sugar daddy. "100/1000 true fans theory" ignores the difficulty and luck required in getting those 100-1000 paying fans. It's a nice story or idea, but impractical for the vast majority of people. Getting even a handful of fans is probably very hard for most people unless you are lucky or famous.
That kind of work is hard, expensive, and likely to be fruitless. And in the case of many softer sciences it would more or less remove the need for the field (in their current forms). Sociology is a band aid until we understand biology better.

That being said I agree with you entirely and we shouldn’t shy away from hard problems because of this.
> "The companies" aren't marketing high-cost options in any way. Twitch's highest subscription tier is $25/mo. Patreon suggests a higher tier of $30. Those are not "ruin mom's credit" or "dump your life savings" prices, so it's disingenuous (at best) to suggest that something nefarious and exploitative is happening in regards to platforms' marketing efforts.

You're ignoring superchats and tips which is where most of the money comes from. Watch any fairly popular livestream, especially during the "just chatting" style periods, and you'll see $500, $1000 or higher superchats getting dumped in every few minutes.

I mainly watch VTubers (never paid one money, for the record...) and the so-called "Girlfriend Experience" (or Boyfriend Experience, to a much lesser extent) is a real thing. Look at what happened to Uruha Rushia -- she accidentally leaked that she was dating someone and that caused her entire contract to get terminated.[0] Her "GFE" style made her the top Hololive earner in 2021, making $1.6 million from superchats alone.[1]

> šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square

Oh my, I don't even know the names of those letters.

Edit: Found more info about this:

> The area previously known as Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza has been renamed šxʷƛ̓exən Xwtl’a7shn, and the Vancouver Art Gallery's north plaza has been dubbed šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square.

According to the city, šxʷƛ̓exən Xwtl’a7shn means "a place one is invited to, and a place one is invited to celebrate" [..]. The other name, šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square, refers to a place where cultural gatherings such as weddings and funerals are held.

The names were chosen by a committee of city staff and representatives of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations.

Each uses words from both the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ language used by the Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh language of the Squamish Nation.
Russia’s ‘failure to pay’ bond interest triggers credit default swaps
Certainly, the endangered species act ought to include insects, but as written it just doesn't. The opinion itself makes that crystal clear by showing the plain language of the act itself, the context of the relevant language, and the legislative history.

In context, it's clear that the legislature intended "invertebrates" to mean aquatic ones. There is zero textual evidence to the contrary.

The California legislature ought to step in and do a quick amendment to include insects and be done with it.

This court is legislating from the bench. This opinion is an embarrassment to the legal profession.

> and for the part they don’t, well how your parent raised you should matter

I think you nailed it.

There's a strong cultural component to doing well in school. Just the parent's perception of schooling matters a lot (is reading for fun something they do or encourage?). And of course there's a lot of implicit knowledge about test taking and what really matters at school. Someone who navigated these exams before will be a much better guide for sure.

> By preventing elite high school from selecting their own students, by creating as many parallel admissions to colleges that were purely competitive exams based.

How much of that is to increase racial diversity?

> On the other side the obsession of the French with education is unhealthy, where your career at 50 is still determined by an exam you sit 30 years before, and this tendency of having clubs within clubs for the elite to run the country with little competence or accountability

Maybe that's why there are so many French expats here in the Valley!
