Sorry, you're quite right that they don't use rare earth metals -- I was thinking of the Cadmium telluride and CIGS combinations used in some thin-film solar panels (which aren't rare earth metals -- it's been a while since I've done chemistry), but looking at it some more it seems like they aren't toxic (even though the constituent elements are). My bad (though I don't know who Shellenberger is.)

However, since the currently proposed solution for renewables is to pair them with large battery banks to solve the reliability issue, the greenness issues with batteries still stand.
> I know a lot people who were injury by the vaccine.

we are just trading anecdotes here, but i can can definitely say after taking the vaccine, especially the 3rd one, my long covid was relieved greatly and felt great afterwards... should i go around telling people to get the vaccine multiple times to cure long-covid based on that anecdote?

i won't deny your experience but let me just ask you this, whats the chance of getting myocarditis from real covid vs vaccine? which one is potentially more dangerous?
No prices for Portugal?

Why in Spain is the electricity so cheap?
There's a solar power boom going on right now. That kind of thing tends to attract bad actors, so you get sub-par installations performed by poorly trained people. That's the cause of most of the fire risk.
> There is very little competition

Then that's not really capitalism.
All of these are our choices though.

For instance changing taxation to make small, slow and pedestrian friendly cars way cheaper could have a drastic effect (some countries do). That can be combined with putting limitations on what category of vehicle can enter city centers. Introducing parking lot sizes privileging smaller cars etc.

It’s all cultural, and either solution will take decades of effort, education, changing people’s behavior and costs tremendous money anyway.
Never heard of kiwifarms before… what a cesspool.

> If the universe expands today, how does it follow that it was also expanding yesterday

The universe is not only expanding, it's expanding faster and faster... it's very hard to see how anything could explain the rate of expansion could have started off negative, then instead of just collapsing into itself, it reverted somehow and then started accelerating. The simple explanation is that it has always expanded, though at a slower rate, just like in the future it seems it will continue to expand at a faster rate.
Einstein's equations are time reservable and deterministic, so the evolution has only one path and ultimately it doesn't matter which end you start at, you'll get to the other unique end point regardless.
The problem is to get the correct start conditions that makes the other end of the path end up somewhere plausible.

It is largely a matter of training and temperament if you think it's more rewarding to start from the observations of current phenomena that all have some uncertainty and laboriously work backwards to predict an early universe that doesn't match the observations and then have to start over, or if you think it's better to start from the distant past and work toward the now only to find a problem and having to start over.

You can really claim with a straight face that invading Afghanistan and killing two hundred thousand random people was to help?

Juts to think about the difference a bit more, in MDI you could open new windows within the application-window, say multiple text-editor-windows within the MS Word application-window, if I recall.

What you could not do is open a new application-window from within the application window. And that would seem rather useless. But it would not be useless if the whole desktop worked that way, open new child-desktops from current one, recursively.
Education is about using intelligence not gaining it. That said, in practice knowledge can be more useful than intelligence if the circumstances presented fit the available knowledge well.
Modern universities are a bizarre amalgam of research, liberal arts education, and job training, with the result that each of those aspects tends to undermine the others. [EDIT: I forgot the most important part! Exclusive social and athletic clubs.]

Unfortunately, employers have decided to favor degrees from research universities in their hiring decisions, which creates an enormous demand for such degrees.

A lot of people want to blame government-backed student loans for the problem, but that's looking at it only from the supply side, not the demand side. If university degrees were no longer advantageous for employment, then the demand would drop off massively.

There's still a general question of whether it's a good idea for the populace of a democracy to receive a university-level liberal arts education. (I would say yes, and it should therefore be subsidized by said democracy.) But I do feel that industry should take a lot more responsibility to subsidize job training. (For instance, [rhetorical question] how much are the big tech companies paying to fund the computer science degrees that they demand for engineers?)

Everybody knows that college degrees are expensive. Especially degrees from prestigious schools. Employers know it. So when employers favor college degrees in hiring, especially degrees from expensive prestigious schools, then employers are effectively discriminating by personal or family wealth. (I suppose a lot of this is "works as designed".)

> How old are you if I may ask

Early 40s, I now live in Bucharest but I grew up in a town besides the Danube, Bulgaria was on the other side.

> But I often walk around and try to think of what they were going for and the purpose behind many things

There was definitely a "purpose" behind most of the stuff they built back then, especially in the '60s and the '70s (in the '80s things were already getting tougher from an economic pov, so at some point they started cramming apartments building close to apartments building in the name of better use of the land, or something like that).

> Also I will add, the block started with 3 floors, and then a fourth was added on top of it afterwards

The norm here was ground floor + 4 floors in the small and medium towns, plus in some neighbourhoods of the big cities, including Bucharest, or ground floor + 10 floors in the bigger cities and in Bucharest. There are also buildings with ground floor + 8 floors (I now live in one, on the 8th floor), but they were not the norm.
Back in the day of Amazon Drive Unlimited there was a a data hoarder that had over 1PB of camgirl content stored and indexed on Amazon Drive, this is largely believed to be one of the reasons Amazon Drive Unlimited was discontinued.
I don't want to be discouraging but if this is the level you are at right now, "deploy and maintain on your own" is very likely to get you electrocuted. Grid level electricity generation is not something to "move fast and break things" with.

That said, get acquainted with:

- How the electrical grid works. You will at the least want to have a working understanding on how generators synchronize to produce a coherent grid and how frequency regulation works. You should be able to at least immediately tell the difference between a MW and a MVAR, or to clearly explain the impact of power factor correction on transmission line capacity.

- The various different primary energy sources (fossil fuels, nuclear, wind, solar) and how they differ.

- Your local electricity grid regulator will have published rules for the local wholesale electricity market. Learn those and how to interact with them. You should probably be aware that for most markets the minimum bid size is in the order of megawatts, which is enough for about a thousand homes.

- The economics of how power generation works. Power generation has massive economies of scale and single-person initiatives are unlikely to be able to compete.

- Last but certainly not least, get yourself up to date with safety regulations. Grid level electricity will not only kill you, it will hurt the entire time too.

If you want to "just" make enough electricity for yourself, get some solar panels on your roof. I'm sorry this post is probably not what you were hoping for but electricity is really really dangerous and not something you should be going into if you don't have a firm grasp of what you are doing.
Some avenues to consider/investigate (consult with your doctor before trying any treatment, but expect to hear "there's no reason to believe that will work" in many cases):

FLCCC I-RECOVER protocol: https://covid19criticalcare.com/covid-19-protocols/i-recover...

"Could tiny blood clots cause Long COVID's puzzling symptoms?" (article reports some people have had success with anti-coagulant therapies, but be especially careful with those): https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02286-7

Theory of Long COVID as Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (from one of the physicians who pioneered use of fluvoxamine in treatment): https://twitter.com/farid__jalali/status/1315060197988036608

From personal anecdata, I took a PQQ/CoQ10/NAC combo supplement recommended by the local supplements store after both of my two infections, and have never had any long-term symptoms. NAC in particular seems to show up often in the various recovery protocols that are floating around.

That's skipping a whole bunch of steps. Start by showing me proof of even the tiniest violation of the First Law. That's a Nobel Prize on its own.

The fact that this doofus has been working on this machine for as long as he has, without publishing a paper establishing a violation of the First Law, is enough to tell me that this machine plays by the same rules as the rest of the universe.

Would be cool if the Second Law wasn't true either, though! The whole "heat death of the universe" thing bums me out.

And I want to add that side effects of the vaccination are often treated as long COVID as well. Long COVID is a representation of symptoms, therefore this is not unusual that it is classified the same, however one might mistake these as virus related when some are not.

Maybe I wasn't clear or went too fast on some things, I'm not a native speaker.

This is all about semi manufacturing, and the position that TSMC now has in the fab space, thanks to Apple (yes, really, that's what I went on about in the previous comment). No part of my comment referred to arm, architectures, anything of the sort, just that Apple's money, applied broadly at first in the semi manufacturing space, then in a very very targeted way, took TSMC from tier 2 manufaturer to the best in class.

If you look back a few years, only x86 chips were having volume at the bleeding edge of manufacturing process. Gpus, Smartphone, everything else was one node back at the very least. Apple threw money and orders with a massive volume (iPhone + iPad is pretty close in units to the x86 cpu market, above 300M roughly off the top of my heard) at TSMC and that early + continous investment helped them fast forward their processes while Intel is still stalled in 2015.

Apple is using TSMC today (the best bits), AMD is using TSMC today (the second best bits) for the performance part of their chiplets and so will Intel tomorrow for the exact same reason. This is the relevant bit that I was pointing at.
I remember doing some web development work for HardKernel/ODROID back in ~2010 and I just did it for free (I loved the idea of an "Android Game Boy," plus Chris Pruett at Google recommended it for gaming and game development[1]), and they ended up sending me an ODROID-S out of the blue. I was totally surprised and felt I didn't really deserve it (MSRP was like $200-300 and I was a poor college kid), and I'll never forget the gesture.

HK earned a longtime fan with that move for sure, haha. :) This new handheld looks great, I hope they have their "mainstream moment."

Doesn't the US pride itself on having abolished debtor's prison due to the immorality of incarcerating people for unpaid debts? That the converse is happening; forcing people to rack up huge debts for being incarcerated seems unbelievably mean and downright farcical.

A certain amount of searching should be required before forcing homework onto others. You can literally google "risk of fire increases with roof-mounted solar panels" and you will see it from tons of sources including pv-magazine and others.

After a lot of trouble, I was able to extract my private keys from Authy by installing their deprecated Chrome extension and using some hacky javascript found in a gist. Now, I'm on the search for something else to load my keys into.

All the other 2FA apps out there that I've looked at are lacking in some way or another. Ideally, I'd like as a basis: iOS and MacOS app (not electron) support, easy import/export, no requirement for a phone number, some sort of encrypted 'cloud' backup, open source, decent UX.

I'm half tempted to just import into Bitwarden (which I happily pay for) and call it a day, but I'd like to keep my password manager separate from my 2fa... just seems awkward to combine them.

Bueller? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS6f1MKpLGM

This is needlessly antagonistic towards economists. The majority of them are boring academics. The others are employed by the rich to whisper into the ears of politicians as you describe. This is precisely why it's important to learn economics: so you can vote for economically literate politicians who are be better resistant to lobbyists' BS and vote against politicians who are clearly trying to favor special interest groups.
Arguably, elementary, middle, and highschool are mostly about providing subsidized child care for the masses. The education part is somewhat secondary [unfortunately].

Higher education (college+) is where the big ROI can be obtained. It doesn't take much education to flip burgers or do other jobs that don't require an advanced degree.
Since, as of today, electriciry cannot be stored, but is consumed the moment it is generated, we have all those problems. Base and peak load, PV and wind being less (not completely unusable as real life data shows) in line with eletricity consumption... The list goes on. And that fact is part of the reason why prices are going haywire.

Electricity isn't stored, it is consumed.
What allowed him to be so brutal to his political enemies is that he commanded the army. The economic reforms came after the coup d'etat and suppression of the opposition not before. And they were far from smooth sailing: ironically Friedman coined the idea of a "Miracle of Chile" in an article at the beginning of 1982, shortly before Chile was plunged into a deep recession.

Either way, the comment further upthread ranting about Keynes was weird considering that Keynesianism really didn't involve shooting people, and whilst the ideologically opposed Chicago School policy didn't either, it was famously most faithfully implemented by a military junta Friedman himself had plenty of time for.
It depends on answers to questions like “are these groups actually committing a disproportionate amount of the crime?”

Hah cool! That is how I more or less discovered 'structured programming'. I had already made three tries at that and failed miserably. Then 'functions' came along and suddenly I was able to write code in the 1000's of lines and not get lost. (Before then it was all GOSUB 3300 etc.)

The BBC Micro (the machine I was working on at the time) had a version of Basic that allowed for procedures (something that doesn't return a value) and functions to be defined with a name attached. It's incredible if you think about it from a present day perspective that in that sense the original BASIC was even worse than assembler, which at least allowed you to attach a label to an address.
If you have million lines of code, it’s probably because you can’t tell the difference between the actual, human-written code, and stuff that shouldn’t be committed in the fist place.
