That thermodynamic argument was the least convincing part. If you wanted to, you could beam your power plant's infrared radiation towards space, or put the plant itself in space and have it beam its waste heat away from the planet. The idea that heat dissipation is limited by the black body radiation of the Earth assumes that your house is part of the power plant's radiator, which itself implies that you will be living in a power plant's radiator. :-)
Is there any fundamental limit we’re hitting on magnetic fields or might we see another 10-100x increase in field strength in the future?
Drugs are not the problem, mental illness is and drugs are one of the coping mechanisms. Regulating them and having production quality control would go a long way towards reducing bad outcomes.

Not in my experience, delays of a couple of minutes are standard and 15 to 20 minute delays are not unheard of.

Mind you, commuter trains with 30 minute intervals.

And again, I didn't say Switzerland is worse, just that all that praise is mostly a hype.
It seems pretty low risk. Given that not all cultures are rice-based, it seems unlikely that rice has any mysterious nutrient that's essential but not in other foods we eat. It's also unlikely that having somewhat less of it in rice will have dramatic effects.

After all, people do eat a variety of different diets and often change their diets.

I think the sweet spot is to charge a nominal fee as opposed to making it outright free. We tried free in Seattle and it resulted in buses full of nuisance activity such as drug use, harassment, violence, toilet use, and other unpleasantries that resulted in a lot of people avoiding transit altogether.
And that's important as well because a lot of people who don't personally drive cars on the roads use goods transported in that manner, take long distance busses, etc.
I just experienced 38 degrees heat with 30% humidity here in Berlin just a few days ago. and then 28 degree heat with 60% humidity. I'll take 38 degrees at 30% humidity every time. It was fine. At 60% humidity, you are sweating non stop and it's uncomfortable because not enough of it evaporates. You feel sticky, hot and miserable. At 30% humidity, sweating cools your body really effectively and while taxing, you recover quickly in the shade. 38 degrees (slightly warmer than you) is no joke. But at that humidity, I prefer it over much cooler temperatures with higher humidity. The combination of high temperatures and humidity is lethal.

The dimension I use is independent (most cats) vs dependancy (most dogs).

If someone is a dog owner type, I often stereotype them as wanting to both nurture and control, more parental. Cat owners often encourage independence. The relationship they want to have with a pet often bleeds over into the relationship they have with a partner.

I do strongly agree that evo-psych makes little sense: just-so narratives sound good though!
If you don't have the resources to inspect overseas facilities, maybe try trusting the agencies in those countries? And if you're not willing to do that, and you're sure you're not going to have the resources to inspect the facility, then don't buy vaccines that you're not going to allow yourself to use. And if you _are_ going to have to send people to inspect an overseas facility, why not do it sooner rather than later?

But buying vaccines that are supposed to be used in an _emergency_ (i.e. against bioterror https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/before-pandemi...) and storing them overseas and not allowing them to be used in a crisis because you haven't inspected the facility that produced them seems like the worst of all worlds. This government spent resources on vaccines, pretended this made us safer, and refused to use them.

I have a bag of supplies for an inevitable earthquake. Using the logic of our government, instead of storing it in my home, I should keep it in a distant self-storage locker ... and I should refuse to drink my emergency water because the bottle could have BPA.

And they won’t say why.”

I think when you fail hard, you shouldn't get to be smug at the other countries that (a) produced the vaccine and (b) had their inspectors do their jobs in a timely manner.

I have lived most of my life on the great plains and while I don't know of sea or mountain, I have lived a few years in a forested area and I felt twinges of claustrophobia the whole time. No farms, no horizons anywhere - just trees. Not for me.

I dunno, I love the wide openness of it. The wind trying to push you around. The rolling clouds, the dark skies. Try and live on the western edge of small town - even better if you're on a slight rise. You get a sunset every day, cloud watching on a stormy day feels very pagan, and every day smells ever so slightly different.

> 1 - drier air feels cooler, and has other advantages (reduced condensation on surfaces, etc).

This is the cargo cult problem. When it’s too humid, dry air feels better. So HVAC engineers pick a nominal coil temperature based on some design climate and use it everywhere. Dryer does not feel better in hot, dry places.

> 2 - it’s more efficient for them to do so, considering heat exchanger surface area, the phase change temperature of the refrigerant, etc.

I have not gone through all the math, but I’m willing to bet that this follows from #1. Engineers picked a coil temperature and designed from there. There are multiple refrigerants on the market, the operating pressure of a system can be controlled at least a little bit, and it’s even possible to operate the coil warmer than the refrigerant with no fundamental change in COP. (Hydronic systems do the latter regularly by recirculating some of their working fluid.)

As far as I can tell, there is no market for an air conditioner with better humidity control because no one has created a market — everyone expects that air conditioned air is unpleasant, and no one has marketed their superior system well.

(Lots of people in very humid climates think that comfortable air conditioned air is too cold — they have to set thermostats to 70 or even lower to be comfortable. This is because of inadequate dehumidification. Lots of people in hot, dry climates think that air conditioned air is too dry. These people aren’t wrong.)

> Tar is pretty unusual for an archive file format. There's no archive header, no index of files to fascilitate seeking, no magic bytes to help file and its ilk detect whether a file is a tar archive, no footer, no archive-wide metadata. The only kind of thing in a tar file is a file object.

tar = tape archive. It was designed around streaming files to a tape drive in a serial fashion. Tape bandwidth has almost always been slow compared to source data devices. You need to start writing to the target device as fast as possible. Taking time to construct a full index just delays starting the slowest stage of things, while providing only relatively minimal benefit.

Generating an index is fairly straightforward, the file headers give you the information you need, including what you need to know to get to the next file header. Your only bottleneck is just how fast random reads are. If the file is on disk, it should be relatively trivial.

It's even possible to do this relatively cheaply with Range headers if you're looking at a tar file stored on an HTTP endpoint, though you'll likely want to think about some smart pre-fetching behaviour.
Exactly my thought. :) And it did ended well.

If you dehumidify first, you it'll be much easier for your existing system to cool the air.
I'm less worried about fatality and more worried about long-term health consequences.

COVID worries me, but not because it might kill me. I'm more worried about long-term brain fog and respiratory problems. I'm more worried about being permanently disabled. I'm worried about having to life a kind of life where I feel like I'm substantially less than I once was.

But back to the point, I'm curious what the odds are of getting monkeypox and never quite fully recovering from it.
IIRC there are some dew points where you wanna be using both AC and heat in a vehicle.

On an EV you'd have to use resistive heater since you just can't flip the valve while AC is running and turn it into heat pump instantly.

There seems to be a lot of innovative ideas and a lot of them seem to be quite doable, which is interesting for investors. One I really like is FirstLightFusion [1]. They are using a ballistic system to shoot at a small fuel cube, which creates a fusion reaction and then use the generated heat to power a turbine. There is a nice behind the scene video with some interview from FullyCharged [2].

I believe that there might be a way to have a compact and efficient fusion reactor which we just don't know yet (and a time traveller would be able to "hold my beer" us into it)

For example, there's this plasma-producing microwave + cut grape trick, what if you use something like this to supply really hot deuterium plasma?
> Maybe a separate dehumidifier like the one in the article combined with an oversized system could work?

Wouldn't a "right sized" system plus dehumidifier be better? If you oversize the AC to the point it short cycles, it won't be providing as much dehum as you have now, so you'd just be shifting that load to the dehum, not helping overall.
The best Scottish players go south and play in the Premier League in England or the Championship. But England can be very sink-or-swim in my opinion, Billy Gilmour was (and IMO is) a promising youngster who has basically been told he's got no future at Chelsea even though he's very talented. There's been a potentially promising recent trend recently of a few Scottish youngsters being sought out in Italy - Aaron Hickey had signed for Bologna a year back and a great season, Liam Henderson is a regular at Empoli and Lewis Ferguson left Aberdeen for (coincidentally) Bologna this season. I say it's a trend because it's so recent and so unlikely, previously if a Scot played in Italy they were truly a superstar. We're talking Joe Jordan, Denis Law and Graeme Souness. Personally I hope Gilmour ends up in Serie A or La Liga.

That said, you may have a point. Many Scots boys grow up idolising Celtic or Rangers. It could be that many get signed for their boyhood club and choose to remain there, even if a club who is better for their long-term development is interested.
The only problem is that this is blatantly false. Having suffered trauma a couple of years ago, I can attest that the actual, physical functioning of your brain is changed. For months I'd feel weirdly alert when walking alone at night. I'd be afraid of the specific place the truma occurred. It's like there's a built-in circuit in my brain I never knew about that would start screaming "don't go there or you'll die!". It's all hardcoded in there. The effects persisted for about a year, maybe longer, with a linear-feeling falloff.

The experience didn't impact my life negatively in the long term, but it definitely changed the way I think about trauma. If a single experience can fuck up my brain semi-permanently, I have utmost respect for people who suffered repeated trauma, sometimes even during early development. I cannot imagine such experiences not leaving debilitating scars of physical nature.
It's not too late, but it may be too expensive to transfer, and if you have to retake all the classes, you might get bored. It doesn't sound like a good idea to transfer to me, but if you attach a lot of importance to going to the "best" school, then do that.

Counter example: if we can make computation 1000x more efficient per teraflop, we could use computers to trivially design drugs to cure cancer etc (just a random example) and yet our energy consumption would not change.

Then you get super hot deuterium plasma, which is unconfined and so won't fuse.
Apples to oranges. Investments are compared by their up front costs and rates of returns.

Crypto up front costs are dirt cheap as most of it is open source software, and in a bull mania the rates of returns are astronomical.

Nuclear is a mature industry with R&D for fusion that has some of the largest up front capital costs on the planet for cutting edge materials, controls, land, and safety requirements. To top that off, the rates of returns are abysmal and take forever even compared to coal plants.
Yes, it will be for the second half of this century, if we make it there.

Side comment: fusion can be seen as a solution to many of our worst problems. But another way to see it is that without a complete change in what societies value and how they act (i.e. a cultural/philosophical/storytelling change), fusion is just going to increase the rate at which we are transforming this planet into a giant pile of garbage, whether its solid and liquid garbage (leading to wiping out 60% of wildlife in 50 years, spilling the phosphorus of our soils into the sea -making them sterile and killing life in the sea- etc etc), or gas garbage (typically greenhouse gases).

We do that by extracting resources nature concentrated for us for free for millions of years and dispersing them all around in our buildings, phones, playstations, fertilizers, fuel etc.

As long as Black Friday is the highlight of the year, there are reasons to think fusion might be more dangerous than helpful.

It’s good to have an increasing ability to transform matter, as long as you are using that ability in the right direction.

If you're in the US Reed Art & Imaging [0] is one of the best photo printing companies in the United States. They're (I think) the only commercial studio licensed to use the true Diasec process in the US. Diasec is what most museums prefer for their photo prints, just as a reference of quality.

I've also used White Wall [1] in Germany with similar results. They use basically the same process, but an unlicensed version. Bumblejax [2] in Seattle is also great.

The other thing you can look for is local camera stores that still develop film. Chances are they'll have a high quality printer and paper. Giclée printing (basically very high quality inkjet) is what's most popular right now and supposedly is the most durable, but I personally prefer chromogenic (C-type) prints which is where they use lasers to expose photo-sensitive paper. There aren't many places doing C-type prints anymore, so that's generally a mark of quality.

Since you asked, you seem to be missing the difference between these two distinctly different outcomes:
(a) losing 10% to 17%, probably to make it back within a few years
(b) losing 66%, 99%, or 99.99%, without any likely path to ever make the money back.
By this analogy, I suppose they could sell to, say, Aprilaire. On the other hand, it’s not particularly hard to stick a nice blower on their device and sell a self contained unit. Plenty of vendors will gladly sell them excellent ECM blowers.

You don’t mortgage your house for a high interest savings account. It’s just stupid. Sure. They were manipulated. But there has to be some point at which adults are accountable for basic financial responsibility. You should not trust someone so much that you bet your home on it. That’s idiotic.

If you can’t hold someone accountable for such decisions you are basically saying they should not be allowed to manage their own finances. People need to have critical thinking skills.

I wouldn't say the (recent) past was grim, but rather that the technology to build an _affordable_ commercial device had not yet been developed yet. We designed and built ITER at such a large size and cost (€20 billion) since high temperature superconducting magnets were not yet available.

In the meantime, all of the experimental devices (JET, AUG, EAST, DIII-D, etc.,) have been gathering evidence on how to operate ITER when it is turned on, and not necessarily focused on achieving breakeven.

>all physically measurable quantities are rational

That's not even clear, unless you also assume you can measure exactly a unit length, which is not physically possible. Assuming you can measure something as a perfect rational value implies infinite precision, which is not possible.

All physically measurable quantities have uncertainty is what I think you mean, but that doesn't say anything about possible cardinalities.
