Well, we'd get there faster, of course. But that's still not right now, that would be still many years, especially for the third world which can't afford the investment.
Renewables are great and are absolutely the future, but energy security and current needs demand fossil fuels as well. We cannot simply shut off these sources and hope to make it. The transition includes keeping lots of legacy capacity before we wind anything down.
Don’t really care for in person interaction. In the past however many jobs I’ve found that the only reason you are “friends” with people at work is that you see them every day.

It’s well understood that meat was a calorie dense food that helped human beings not starve in the past. This was its primary evolutionary advantage.

In the world where food is abundant and chronic disease caused by overconsumption of calorie dense foods is extremely prevalent, it’s worth re-examining meat as a staple food. This is not touching on our polluted world and meat’s role as bioamplifier of toxins in our foood chain, along with a bunch of other good reasons to re-examine our relationship to meat as a society

Do you drive a lot? Drivers are very used to the audio disconnect.

Before I did my licence I was a firm believer in "no earbuds on the road", but after a few driving lessons I got so used to taking in the traffic situation with eyes only that I quickly converted to an earbuds all the time cyclist. A few years later I stopped driving so much and my cycling reverted to ears-always-open without me even noticing.
Crop-based corporations and Animal-based corporations tend to NOT be on same side.

This is ancient as the bible (the first murder, when the crop farmer murdered the animal farmer).

I don't know if anyone at Cargill has read the bible, but they are the largest ag company in the USA and raise livestock, food crops, and animal feed crops. They have over $100B in Global revenue each year.
"A" benefit? I'd say no. It's a wide range of benefits ranging from "not spending a night in hospital" to "surviving". If you know that the benefits and risks result in similar distributions of the risks, then you can just compare the numbers. If not, you have to check the distribution first.

As a former driver of many Audi quattros and a Canadian who lives on top of a hill with a AWD Tesla 3 I can say it's the best handling car in snow that I've driven (given clearance limits of a sedan).

The instant reaction speed of its electric traction control to slippage will vastly outperform any manual transmission. You can drive like an idiot with the pedal to the floor and the car sorts itself out.
Neither of those are contained fusion. I think gp is implying that it might be impossible to have net energy gain for contained fusion (which currently seems to be the case even with most advanced designs)
It's looking at total energy consumption, not electricity consumption. The UK only generates about 4500 kWh per person each year - far off that 30,000 kWh number. In the UK (not sure about the US, but it's probably similar), about 25% of our energy consumption is space heating, 30% is road transport, 10% is air transport, 11% is domestic use and the remaining 24% or so is services and industrial. We don't really do AC here - I imagine that's a big chunk of use in southern US states.

The big thing that the article doesn't mention is that "developed" western countries outsource vast amounts of manufacturing energy usage to other countries. The UK is especially bad for this. We don't make most of our steel, aluminium, plastics or chemicals - so the many kWh required to make them isn't reported in our statistics. China does that for us.

"In addition to further reducing sulphur dioxide emissions by 85 per cent, the decommissioning of the stack is expected to cut the complex's natural gas consumption in half."

We need to stop judging the past by today's standards, and focus on the progress we actually make.
The government is always the biggest obstacle to improving land. People try very hard to improve their land and the government puts up tons of red tape. We need less government involvement, not more, and certainly not more in the form of a harebrained utopian scheme like Georgism.

Some of the better sci-fi movies aren't received well initially and take time to pick up a following. If they're lucky they go on to be 'sleeper hits' or 'cult classics'. Sure, re-releases help but a lot of it is there's a small group of people, like those commenting here, who remember a film/series and sing their praises long after the critics and mass audiences have forgotten about them.

Also, there are people like myself who are always scouring recommendations lists to see what we've overlooked. I find some very interesting movies that way.

The world death rate is about 8 per 1000 people per year. If there are 50 pounds of edible meat on a body, then human deaths could supply 0.001 pounds per living person. This is also low-quality gamy meat because the average age of death among people is incredibly high for meat animals. Enacting worldwide cannibalism for humans would provide as much additional meat as spending one tenth of a cent per person annually on conventional low-end meat.

Not worth the social debate or the medical risk.
It has probably been a mistake to have so many articles that are effectively "We measured A and its value suggests the following theory" rather than "To test theory B we measured A and found it did(n't) agree"

I reckon that lack of a good theory is the by far best predictor for non-replicable results.
Yup but no. Bathroom fans are never on continuously.

I think the misleading part was representing it as that person specifically had 90% chances, even though 90% may be aggregated probability and this person's chances based on personal history may be much lower. Given CK does have access to personal history, one might easily get an impression that the prediction is a precise calculation based on it and thus imply more accuracy than warranted.

Fahrenheit is nice because the normal range of temps for most climates that humans generally prefer to inhabit is about 0 to 100. Over 100 starts to be dangerous to humans without some form of cooling, evaporative or otherwise. 0 F (-18 C) is about as cold a temp as most (not all) people would want to live in. Ironically, viewed from that perspective, Fahrenheit gives typical temps a nice powers of ten framework, which is normally one of the great advantages of metric systems. Celsius fails in this regard, going from -18 C to 28 C for the same range. Less precision and no intuitive decimal framework.

On the other hand, I completely agree that the rest of the non-metric measurements are just a mess. However, the binary nature of cups, pints, quarts, half gallons, and gallons are kind of quaint I suppose.
I switched to Tidal a few months ago after getting sick of them pushing podcasts non-stop and some other annoyances. Tidal is fine, but I do miss all the user-created playlists from Spotify.

I also still sometimes buy music through Bandcamp if it isn't available on Tidal or if I want to support the artist.

Even with regular gas powered cars, the tyre noise dominates for a long time already, except at very low speed. A Tesla isn't much more quiet than any other modern sedan (thanks to wide tyres with soft rubbers). It's really just (wannabe) sports cars, old trucks and god damn Harleys where it's different.

Context is important. The point of writing “the car was used to murder someone” was to show that in this story, it was just as nonsensical to claim the AirTag was used to murder someone.

samatman: It seems relevant that the most shocking story they could put together was about someone who found the AirTag and got a protection order against their stalker.

SadTrombone then links to what they think is a more shocking story because the AirTags were presumably part of a plan to murder someone.

Me: points out that SadTrombone’s story is not more shocking because the AirTag was used to track, or stalk, but not as part of a plan to murder someone, as was insinuated.

I think the original story of a stalker stalking an ex is more shocking than someone stalking their girlfriend/boyfriend to verify if they are cheating. Most people would simply break up at this point, but that this girlfriend became enraged enough to cause violence or kill is unrelated to AirTags.
Hyundai, Kia, and Audi EVs have paddle shifters which controls the level of regeneration braking and feels very much like downshifting. One paddle (+) steps up the regen to the point where the “drag” gets progressively stronger. The other paddle (-) steps down regen to 0 where the car can coast and there is no regen drag whatsoever. Note this is not the same as Neutral. The car is always in Drive. The function only affects what happens when letting off the power pedal.

The nice thing about the regen paddle mechanical control is the no-look ability at your fingertips to change the car’s response depending on driving context. There are moments when you don’t want the car to tip into a regeneration drag when letting off the power pedal and sometimes you feel the need for the “engine braking” to engage right away.

All the other EVs just have strong regen (B setting) or low regen and the selection is a preset you have to choose either on the screen or somewhere near the shift cluster and isn’t exactly a no-look control you can change on the fly. The older VW Golf EV used to have a stick where you can tap up and down two levels of regen on the fly and that was also a great experience but now buttons have replaced the stick. (Sigh, it was nice while you had it, VW!) The Chevy Bolt has one paddle but it’s designed like a brake-with-your-hands lever when depressed. Not quite the effect of stepping up or down.

In sum, the feeling of downshifting, such as into a turn, can be controlled. On the other hand, there is no need for “upshifting” if the EV had adequate power to get to a high speed. Tesla’s power and torque band is already covering high and low speeds with one gear, although an additional top gear would probably get them to a really insane top speed. I think Toyota’s goal is to eke out more range because they want to use less powerful motors where the power and torque bands would benefit from gearing. My dream is for Tesla to add mechanical paddle shifters and do what Hyundai does.
Of course! But it doesn't hurt.

In my founder "generation" at least, many of us got excited and felt heard reading PG's old blog posts. A YC rejection can feel more personal when you've lionized them for years.
The book Windup Girl [0] is a SciFi novel set in a universe where climate change has completely altered the world. Fossil fuels are no longer available, so production is limited by genetically engineered products or human/animal labor to charge in-universe batteries. Calorie cost of items becomes front and center to many activities.

Sequoia and a16z are probably a better measure of hype bubbles, pumped billions into crypto nonsense. They have also both funded QC but to a much lesser degree so I would concur with your analysis.
I am not talking about investing in companies. I am talking about how these companies invest their R&D capital in projects.

> QC "changing the world" is a tail-end event. You allocate according to the risk

But, nobody has a clear idea how it's a risk. They just invest because others invest. You might as well allocate some capital to protect against giant aggressive pigs ruining the southern US.

To put it another way. What value is being provided by the managers of this capital? If they just put money in everything that seems popular in tech media (because it's a tail risk), then couldn't anyone do their job?
Tesla would have gone out of business years ago if Musk hadn't been running it. His leadership of the company, his wealth, and his showmanship and thirst for publicity have been essential. So what if he wasn't one of the founders?
Congrats! You've killed it.
Nature/evolution is working on a macroscopic scale, too, for billions of years. Still, there was and is a lot of "combinatorial space" for human engineers to explore, like inventing the wheel, for example, with which nature didn't bother.
Does this mean that full song play from the API doesn't work anymore, or it's about something else?
A simple example is when somewhere in code you set a value that causes you to go into the wrong branch later. You may have tested that every single branch does what it is supposed to, but this "state here causes unexpected behavior there" can still be open.

GOG's original business model was basically selling legacy games with copy protection patched out and added patches for compatibility and localization. In the beginning CD Project/GOG did that through reverse engineering, so for publishers it was free revenue for old projects.

I have an article I wrote about how I did this, but may have lost it to time.

The short version is I have SLIME running inside Emacs, and my text files open in vim. I would just reload the changed file(s) when needed (originally with cl:load-file, then later with asdf, which is roughly "make" for lisp). I used slime similarly to how I would use gdb. It was a big improvement over using vim with the clisp[1] REPL both because SLIME was more powerful than the clisp repl, and because it worked with other implementations like CMU CL (which sbcl now is a fork of).

I mostly just used the menus for interacting with emacs, but since the shortcuts are listed beside commands, I did learn the more commonly used ones.

I continued like this for years until I discoveredevil-mode[2], which was the first thing close enough to vim to be usable for me (and even then I had to add a few keybindings that it was missing).

On the contrary, the only way to be successful while not putting in a lot of hard work, is to start off from a very fortunate place.

The idea is that we want the system to be more meritocratic, and that a good place to start is to acknowledge that it's currently not as meritocratic as we tend to think. That's what the "meritocratic trap" is: thinking we have meritocracy when we don't.

Ignoring that I haven't made any case for major dietary changes (not here, at least), and though I haven't read the GBD I doubt they will have said any more than a reduction in an individual's red meat consumption is probably a good thing - ignoring all that, I'm willing to bet they've taken into account an obvious factor like smoking. Additionally, the claim in the GBD, according to the Times, is regarding unprocessed red meat.

And indeed, correlations aren't causation, but the claim is “The study said it had identified causal relationships between eating red meat and coronary heart disease, breast cancer and strokes, on top of links already established with diabetes and colon cancer” and the "serious errors" are that “the study had failed to take into account the nutritional benefits of red meat as a source of vitamins, iron and protein, that should be weighed against any risks”. I find that a misleading use of the word "error". Don't you?
I dont believe anybody has ever suggested taxing it above 100%.

100% is the level whereby 100% of the profit a landlord makes will be due to the quality of the improvements and 0% will be due to land speculation.

A landlord owning a shitty building in a hot location will lose money. Hopefully a lot. That is by design. They sell up, somebody demolishes it and builds something better and denser and therefore makes a profit.

>Private money already wants to develop their unimproved land

All the private money in the world isnt enough to convince land owners in San Francisco to demolish their low density housing and build high density housing to accomodate all the people who want to live there.

Tax them on the land and not only will they stop NIMBYing private money at every opportunity theyll sell up gladly to property developers to avoid paying their eye watering LVT bill.

> At this point, parents are RIGHT to be leery of the most vocal parts of the queer community, because we refuse to eject predators.

This is something I feel too, having seen some of the most fringe communities on the internet (a good example is furrys) and how they act predatory around children. I am afraid to say it to any of my friends, colleagues, or even my partner as I feel like I would be seen as bigoted.

I think some people don't see how some behaviour is completely inappropriate (like that Reddit moderator who had a parent that raped children in the attic and, thanks to Kiwifarms, you saw how they were also very predatory). It seems that as soon as you say this about someone that is trans though, you are a labeled a massive bigot.

What annoys me is this is the exact behaviour that turns people into right wing lunatics. It provides the fuel for their conspiracies/hoaxes/insane ramblings.
no one cares about the potential difference in torque

This stops being true the first time you depress the accelerator on an EV. My Kia has a 0-60 time comparable to a low-end Porsche.
I would say energy doesn’t just appear itself, it comes from good infrastructure+support, which comes from a well planning from the government, which also require the govt to be competent, which require a well govt structure. Therefore the energy correlation is there but not a causation.
Plenty of them do have bells, ring them a lot and only start shouting after the bell is repeatedly ignored. Stop pretending to be deaf and all will be fine.

> 80 gsm (grams per square metre) paper at A0 size weighs precisely 80g. A4 paper at that density therefore weighs 5g since it’s been halved 4 times
