First, feed lots are a blight. Feed lots are not the only way to raise livestock.

Second, there is very much a way to manage water while ranching — the main thing is to have the herds help you maintain healthy soil (which retains and regulates surface water), rather than destroying it like in feed lots. You make sure you can move them to a different section of the land.

Third, livestock and crops can co-exist onsite, and there are mutually beneficial processes between the two. Most farmers and ranchers do one or the other. Combined with notill and letting limited grazing on fallow land, what would be toxic runoffs from manure turns into adding fertilizer back into fallow lands.

Fourth, price of meat should reflect the added cost. People keep using feedlots because they want meat factories and cheap meat.

Solutions already exist.

If you include PHEV, Tesla is second behind BYD. Even if you look at EV only, the margin is not insurmountably large. When the big automakers (Ford, GM) truly change over they will dwarf Tesla.

I think this debate, also known at the "Ousterhout dichotomy" [1], has been moot for many years. (I believe, though, it was relevant when initially stated, i.e. ni 1998).

See for instance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ8u_sWT9Ls or a presentation I gave 10 years ago [2].

Who is advocating banning farming?

I think the point is that putting effort into reducing the water waste associated with farming is higher-impact than residential water use.

But we should be putting effort into both.
That means they have no future of consequence. Charging networks will be a mediocre low margin business and they'll be hyper plentiful with little to no serious moat. It'll be like owning gas pumps as a convenience store (yielding pennies on the dollar; the money will be in generation there, as it's in oil/gasoline in gas pumps). Batteries are and always will be a horrific business with low margins (just ask eg Panasonic and all the other players what their battery businesses are worth, especially compared to what Tesla has been making from automobiles).
it would be amazing if more people realized that keeping the car you have is still the most environmentally friendly solution.

I'm going to keep my ICE car until it is unreasonably old or impractical for me, which is probably at least 8 more years.

At that point who knows what the electric car landscape will look like, but certainly production will be massively more ramped up.
PHEVs will be the perfect car for most people. It will do 99.9% of people's trips on pure electric, and not have any compromises on long road trips either.

And the water needed to produce all of their food, which is way more calories than they end up giving back.

And their daily water need, which comes out as urine, which pollutes the nearby environment.

It's a valiant effort to defend living in SF, at a time when many others are critical of the idea, and I applaud the effort. I am not convinced, but I admire the spirit.

There is even some justification to many of his points. Any essay that makes interesting points and stimulates interesting thoughts, even if by defending a point that I disagree with, is well worth reading.

I can't help noticing, though, that he mostly seems to be contrasting the idea of living in SF with the idea of living in the urban Northeast, or else Miami. It is as if he has never noticed the "flyover country".

I also have the impression that the government in, say, NYC has at least pivoted squarely in the direction of acknowledging and attempting to address the problem(s), whereas SF government has not (or at least if they have it is not apparent from my own, admittedly rather distant, perspective).

Lastly, there have been three office buildings sold in SF recently (the first in years), and they all sold for very steep discounts on previous valuations (>2/3 reduced). As night follows day, every other office building owner in SF is going to go to court to get their property tax valuation reduced. It is not clear to me how SF will cope with the budget cuts that are required.
At some point, nice is subjective. And Mission definitely has some sketch spots. But Castro, Eureka, Noe border it and are even nicer; then there's Hayes and the Haight and Alamo Square; head west on Haight and you get to Cole Valley and the Inner Sunset; north of Haight you'd hit a few patchy blocks on Fillmore but then come to Japantown, Pac Heights, the Marina. And that list is not even close to exhaustive: the point is that there are large contiguous areas that are nice, walkable, and safe.
In terms of usefulness, right now, not Tesla.

At some point there will be a research breakthrough in ML with models that can extrapolate physics which is the current thing that is missing from self driving being actually good.

At that point Tesla is going to be the winner without a doubt because they have the hardware and data to train en masse and deploy to cars.

Distilled water is also said to taste bad on its own from the lack of minerals.

A script is mostly human-readable text that is A) intended to be consumed by an interpreter, B) short/simple enough for one person to create/maintain it without having to consider it a second job, and C) where the interpreter facilities B.

I wouldn't use the term "script" to describe binaries of any type.

A module or plugin is a bit of binary code that can be inserted into a larger body of code, either during startup or while running.

Program is the ambiguous term, sort of like application and operating system. I would say anything executed--or possible to be executed--within a process's binary image is a program. So a program would consist of an executable, plus any modules/plugins, but not non-executed/interpreted data. A script requires a program (the interpreter) to run - after all you launch the interpreter (explicitly or implicity) and not the script when you're "running" a script.

We have the term "bytecode" to describe non-human-readable data that is intended to be consumed by an interpreter.

Human-readable text that is A above, but not B or C ... I tend to use "program" for that - I don't know a better thing to call it.
It's not data problems per se. It's the lack of willingness of authorities to take reports. They will do anything possible to throw the crime reports out on a technicality. And even if the crime is crystal clear, the DA won't prosecute. All charges dropped, all the time. Maybe it's their idea of reparations. I think its blockbusting being done on a massive scale.

As a thought experiment what would be the best way to seize the assets of downtown building owners or at least buy them in a metaphorical fire sale? Blockbusting! The background and history of the term is left as an exercise to the reader.
All the rhetoric around California being the source of all food is made using Californian agriculture BY VALUE, not by caloric capacity. So of course, all the very expensive crops grown in California seem important by that metric, but they are only important to the value of land in california and the wealth of a few individuals who own those farms.

In reality, middle America probably grows an entire magnitude more food calories than california, and most of that is inefficiently turned into beef, or ethanol for cars. America does not need to be worried about starving. We literally throw away like a quarter of the food we purchase, and for incredibly stupid reasons like people swallowing the "Best By" dates as gospel and refusing to eat food with a bruise. This doesn't even consider the massive amount of farmland that we used to use in plenty of rural states across the nation that just aren't as profitable as the factory farms that own the markets nowadays. My state used to produce mountains of potatoes for the entire country but got outcompeted by Idaho and now is stuck growing niche crops and small batches of broccoli for local consumption.

The data reported by that study doesn't even support the hypothesis, both the hybrid and adjusted fertility rates of women with <12 and 12 years of schooling are shown to still be higher than those of women with college and advanced degrees. Unless I'm misinterpreting something all this suggests is that there's a partial reversal, not an upheaval, of one of the most widely studied trends in fertility worldwide. The study does point out that childcare costs have outstripped wages of women with a high school diploma or less education though, which is alarming.

Reddit admin:mod ratio is 1:N, the fediverse changes that to M:N. Between that and the funding model (or lack of one), I'm curious to discover the many failure modes that will occur in the coming months. I suspect instance owners (who pay the bills from personal funds) will be even less willing to "negotiate" than the current Reddit leadership.

I'm a big fan of decentralization, but the naivete of Fedi-zealots and the lack of tooling/standards is shocking to me. The Fediverse needs machine-readable equivalent of Subreddit rules, and which instances are (de)federated. The clients need to surface this info in an easy-to-use UI, and will massively help with automation, there current levels of human-moderation cannot scale; though there are plenty of gatekeepers who don't want to scale.
I’m not denying those achievements of those individuals at all. But I am saying that those individuals didn’t invent or discover those ideas out of the blue. There was information gathered up until that point in their lives that allowed them to make those connections and form ideas from there. No idea exists in a vacuum, yes someone needs to be the first to do anything, but all knowledge is passed on.

In the end - there's basically no serious scientist saying the world is going to be destroyed from global warming. There's going to be more extreme weather. Life in hot areas in third world countries is going to suck more.

But add up all the deaths and inconveniences from this, assume it gets worse, and the world is still incredibly better off than it was in the 1980s.

Tesla did not have 100% market share. Nissan Leaf came out before the Model S. (And if you want to count the Roadster, you should count the EV1, etc.)

But I think the point is that electric cars will take over the whole market, and so if Tesla’s US market share falls to like 20-30% from the current 60% or whatever it is but that market is 10-30 times larger, that’s a huge win.

How is that not monopoly behavior? Why don't they just put an iMessage alternative in Android at that point?
I don't know about the NA, but that is definitively not the case for most superchargers (or any other brand of fast chargers, for that matter) in Europe. Batteries are expensive so this is only done in very special cases. I know they've used battery banks at some of the electrical ferries in Norway, simply because the cost of running new high-voltage power lines was deemed more expensive and the schedule of the ferries makes it very easy to model.

Power grids are quite large, so any fluctuations across the grid is going to be minimal. They are quite good at modeling these things, otherwise we'd have rolling blackouts quite often. For homes it's the last mile that's usually the biggest limiting factor.

But I agree with what you said, for /most/ people anything more than 2kW (so 240V/10A) is more than enough to charge up overnight. A perk with CCS2 is the support for 3-phase power delivery. With very simple wiring and some smart(-ish) electronics you can opportunistically deliver around 11kW to a single car, or divide it with other house appliances or other cars. It's fairly common with 400V TN-system in some parts of Europe, which makes the support of 3-phase in CCS2 very handy.

That said I'd agree with missing the feeling of being unreachable - it was a different feeling that you can't have anymore IMO.

Its not the same as turning off your phone - people didn't expect or have a way to reach you. Just wait until you came back home.

cool, thanks for the insight. are there any materials you'd recommend for reading up on this kind of stuff? I have a fair bit of insight from having done things in various frameworks over the years, but if there's any resources you have in mind, I'd be more than happy to take a look.
DAC seems like a distraction to me.

In what situation does investment in DAC make sense over replacing fossil fuel infrastructure?

To run DAC, you need power. Why use dirty coal power to run DAC instead of using that money to replace the coal power?

What if the DAC plant is powered by green energy? Use that energy to replace fossil fuel consumption.

What if it’s powered by a 100% renewable grid with surplus that’s isolated? Move currently fossil fuel dependent industry to this grid! Put a data center there instead of somewhere that burns coal.

Sure, we should research it, but until we’re running 100% renewables it always makes more sense to build a solar farm instead.

Maybe an apt analogy: building DAC infrastructure right now is like sending a contractor to a currently burning building to install a fire sprinkler system.
Haha, everyone I know who says this is not saying this because it's the truth but because it's rationalization. Having hit 35, the number of people who stated this position and have changed their mind is 4/5 and I estimate that the last will change their mind too.

The no-child holdouts (4 so far) have all stated it as a personal desire not to have children.

Therefore, my position is that in my socioeconomic class climate change as a rationale is associated with people who have a constraint that they do not feel comfortable sharing. When the constraint is removed, they change their mind.

The constraint seems to be associated with age: either higher income or a change in spouse opinions.
Backblaze B2 and Backblaze's Personal Backup product are completely different and have completely different pricing strategies and customers. B2 is priced at $5/TB/mo in storage, so this is 2x that. But the service also has to cover API costs and transit egress fees, so you can't just run it exactly at market price, either.

I guess you could just put all your music on a Personal Backup account and use whatever music player you want, but the whole point is that you're kind of paying money for the web UI, for it to be always online and available, etc. I don't even know if Personal Backup will let you do things like shallow copies of subsets of your backups, which would be necessary to get music on multiple devices. Why copy your 1TB music collection to 5 computers? How do you get it on mobile, etc.

Yeah, it’s an idea I think about sometimes but don’t really get to try on in words. I get frustrated when reps hide unpopular actions behind bureaucracies and unelected bureaucrats against the people’s voice or best interests, like your example or something like net neutrality.

It’s getting more common to shift the system towards their ability to move unilaterally. In my home state, for example, this last legislative session they changed the referendum law to be non-compulsory on their part, with the argument that citizens are weaponizing it to stall land developers.

That was the only political redress we had available as it is becoming more common for the capital-captured legislature to ok plans that are unhealthy for the continued thriving of our communities in the name of money. As an example, severely oversubscribed water shares in the face of ultra high density housing is becoming a serious problem that they conveniently ignore when approving developments.

There are definitely more and lesser measures that would facilitate a shift back towards the citizenry, but it feels like less and less of a possibility every day our options get diluted in small ways.
