Electric cars use 1/4th the energy of ICE cars (https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/evtech.shtml).

Petroleum for transportation currently accounts for 27% of US energy usage (https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/).

If 100% of cars switch to electric (not happening any time soon) - we only need 25% * 27% = 7% more electricity.

We'll be on pace to add that much just in solar in 3 years. It's not going to be a problem to handle electric vehicle adoption over 15 years.
Is that not "limiting speech"?
>Chain hotels, love them or hate them, are more honest about exactly what you're going to get.

Yep. I'm almost certainly not going to single out my whatever Marriott brand chain hotel as one of the highlights of my trip. And, maybe I had a decent view out my window and maybe I didn't. But I pretty much knew what I was getting. There were almost certainly no issues with checking in if my flight was delayed. And I could leave my luggage at the desk if I wanted to walk around before departing the city.

But it's a case where "meets expectations" is what I'm looking for.

I get that others, especially traveling with friends or family, have different needs than hotels are generally setup to cater to and that's fine. And if someone with local knowledge can book me a place with more character that's generally good too. But I admit that neither I nor my parents when I was growing up ever felt a need to cook meals where I was staying.

> Once they have exited your chimney, the toxic gases (e.g. benzene) and particles that make up smoke freely pass back into your home and into the homes of others. (Research shows that nearly 70 percent of chimney smoke reenters nearby buildings.) Children who live in homes with active fireplaces or woodstoves, or in areas where wood burning is common, suffer a higher incidence of asthma, cough, bronchitis, nocturnal awakening, and compromised lung function. Among adults, wood burning is associated with more-frequent emergency room visits and hospital admissions for respiratory illness, along with increased mortality from heart attacks. The inhalation of wood smoke, even at relatively low levels, alters pulmonary immune function, leading to a greater susceptibility to colds, flus, and other respiratory infections. All these effects are borne disproportionately by children and the elderly.
This. It’s a short term strategy that blew up the long term. I submitted a bunch of answers to Quora way back when, but learned to avoid clicking links to the site because of sign in hassle. Which meant I was never on the site, so I stopped writing new answers.

I have to admit that I fell into a rabbit hole, and I noticed that popular tools like fakerjs or gofakeit[0] did not meet my needs.

I needed to generate realistic-looking identities; the person's photo must match the gender, same for the age, the skin color of the person must correspond with the origin of the surname, the first name should be common in the targeted country, and the residential address must be real, among other things.

You would not use this for test data btw, a common use case for this would be for marketing or spamming operations where you need realistic data. My consciense does not accept the later however ;-)

P.S. Nowadays, these fake data generators are too woke to provide genderized first names..

My understanding of the spirit of the license is that it should be fine as long as modifications are made available. Anyone know of any existing extensions in RDS that are AGPL?

>The US government heavily subsidizes gasoline (and every other fossil fuel), which is just as market-distorting as what you describe. The market price does not reflect the real cost of production.

Source? AFAIK the articles/studies that make that claim use a very generous definition of "subsidies", which include stuff like accelerated depreciation[1], and not taxing externalities associated with carbon emissions.

No, you changed the subject. You said:

To which the answer is no, but you don't need a million dollars to retire.

Whereas your link is not about retired Americans, it's about UN-retired Americans: "Statistics are for households headed by adults aged 32-61 at the time of the survey".

Properly operating a wood burning stove will release very little smoke. This is where the center stone is in the range of approx 300-600F (100-300C). The chimney will produce clear heat and there is no detectable smell when standing outside. Much different result than a fireplace.

It’s referred to as double combustion, or secondary combustion.

The article shows examples of ordinary claims backed by ordinary evidence, then jumps to this conclusion:

I saw no evidence of that here. “Strong” is a very different qualifier than “extraordinary.”

The "science" has no mentions of the stove itself, the wood used, how the wood was dried, the physical setup where the stove is being used, they also lumped in "fireplaces" which imo, negates the entire study, because those are open to the air.

I'm unsure if you're being facetious so I'll take your comment at face value.

Government isn't a static thing - especially one that is elected by the people (for the people). Sooner or later members within said government will also consider retirement. So even if you can elect a government that disagrees with #1, you won't be able to hold it for too long.
Radon's most stable isotope has a half life of only a few day, so if there's radon in the wood there must also be uranium or thorium in the wood to create that radon, and that must have come from the soil. Not impossible I guess, but I think if trees in your area have that much uranium/thorium in them, your primary concern would be radon coming up through the ground into your house.

If there's a correlation between burning wood and radon related health issues, I suspect it's not because of radon coming from the wood but rather smoke from the wood making residents particularly susceptible to injury from radon coming up from the ground. Such an effect is known to exist with tobacco smoke at least.

Between all my main development stacks, .NET, Java and node, I have still no reason to adopt Blazor besides toy projects.

I really don't know how to make out of it.

It started by being .NET for WebAssembly, and then it took a life of its own, with the team pushing it everywhere there is a Webview, as if the GUI civil war going on Redmond wasn't already bad enough.

Since WebForms was a victim of the "Python 2 / Python 3" like reboot of the .NET ecosystem, at very least Blazor provides a similar development experience for those folks.

For the rest of us, used to clean MVC approaches, without allergy to JavaScript, mostly working in mixed FE/BE teams, Blazor is a solution looking for a problem, not worth the additional amount of complexity layers between browser and applications.

Web Forms and JSF have taught me not to go there again.

The point is that you can't draw conclusions of quality of health care simply based of one statistic. There so many other reasons to cause difference in life expectancy.

This is complete meaningless non-sense. You can't draw trends from this. And it's not relevant to the discussion anyways!

You think you have lots of paperwork in the US?? Come to Europe man.
Quora requires a lot of moderation. It has become a popular site for white supremacists, child pornographers, and others. They've fired almost all of their human moderators and appear to be doing it exclusively with automation.

They do almost no moderation within the spaces, and many of them are devoted explicitly to racism. There is also a ton of explicit hate-speech trolling, much of it apparently coming from 4chan.

Not directly related, but adjacent to quora likely turning into an AI dispenser: I knew that it would generate a whole bunch of crap through existing channels— like the ones that were being fed by SEO-driven writers or fake product reviews on YouTube that are just a slide show of product shots taken from Amazon and their descriptions read in a text-to-speech voice— but I hadn't considered that it could make really low-quality previously impossible business concepts juuuust barely profitable enough to be worth it to someone.

Is there anything stopping phone companies from training models based on your voicemail messages? Imagine if data brokers started collecting and selling them?

Call me back when you get this message at nnnnnnnnn," and when you call, it's your simulated best friend breathlessly answering "OH thank god you called back.

If we're talking about "AI" as a nebulous catch-all and arbitrary label for whatever hype people are chasing, then sure, you're free to define it however you like, by construction.

Popularity and status quo doesn't change the definition of the underlying theory. I will push back forever on some demotion of the importance of ML (i.e. theory) as distinct from some hype-driven notion of AI.
Then why didn't the markets go up in Japan and Europe (per the GP)? Also, why do the US (and maybe other) securities markets increase when the underlying economy is performing poorly?

Exactly; there was a similar situation with Atari corp. Initial ST shipped without the planned but not finished yet "blitter" chip. With the STe they rolled that out, but a couple years later and it never got good market penetration.

But by the time they got to the late 80s with the TT030 and the Falcon 030 it become pointless because main CPU was in most cases faster than hardware blitting.

That's the problem with custom chips. An approach that was invaluable in the 70s and 80s for the 8-bit machines, but became a handicap by the 90s.
>Gasoline pricing is highly regulated.

In what jurisdiction? In most developed countries they're anything but. Prices go up and down in response to crude oil prices and other factors. If that counts as "highly regulated", I don't know what you'd call prices that are set by government review boards.

> Petroleum for transportation currently accounts for 27% of US energy usage

> 25% * 27% = 7% more electricity

There is no relation between amount of petroleum used and amount of electricity generated in the data provided by you. All you can say is we need the equivalent amount of 7% extra of total energy used today. You did not provide any data about how much of total energy used is electricity . If electricity is 7% of total energy usage, then we need 100% extra to charge all the cars.

TLDR: your math is wrong.

I have used DEVONthink in the past, and paperless more recently, and only more recently still discovered a real need for this in my life for personal reasons. Since I am at the point of picking a route, I am curious of how you find DEVONthink and its sync needs relative to something like a web app. I don't find myself with an always-on Mac these days, switching my desk between my personal and work laptop, and I would prefer have always access to the files, as well as sharing that access with my wife. I see DEVONthink has a companion portable app, but curious if you use it and what you think of it, though honestly I'm unsure the "scan anything to a SMB share" pattern is unbeatable by features elsewhere.

But buying VTI is also a tool to buy and forget and it maximizes returns compared to target date funds. They're lower due to fees as well as investing too much into bonds when young when it's not necessary, one should invest in bonds when closer to retirement instead.
I don't get the point of this article; is it a response to something else? It seems kind of obvious that there is a lot of strong evidence for many things, but why does that matter?

Also, I hate to quibble about details, but someone saying their name is "Mark Xu" isn't really strong evidence that their driver's license says "Mark Xu". There are a lot of people who go by names other than their official name. In my case, I tell everyone my name is Ken, but it's actually Kenneth. In the case of Xu, many people from China use a Western name like Mark that isn't their real name. Edit: I just realized that the odds that someone's name matches their drivers license is at most 6:1, since only 84% of the driving-age US population has a drivers license at all.

The paragraph about the Efficient Market Hypothesis is just wrong. Contrary to the article, it is easy to make money on the stock market: historically it has gone up an average of 10% a year. It is also easy to beat the market average: you have roughly a 50-50 chance. How difficult is it to get into the top 1% of traders? Uh, that would be exactly 1 in 100. And I really don't see any connection between this paragraph and the topic of the post.

The post seems to have something to do with calibration training, but that link takes me to a signup page for some mystery site, which seems suspicious.

>> 1 - People should be able to retire.

Why? Retirement is a very recent phenomena. The idea of someone earning enough during their working life to then fund several decades of non-working life is a very modern thing, maybe only the last sixty years or so. Only a very rarified few were ever wealthy enough to actively stop working prior to becoming physically unable to work. And then, for most all of human history, those too old to work lived out their remaining few years being taken care of by their children. I'm would not casually assume any "right" to the modern concept of retirement.
Only got halfway through this video. While it's interesting I find it exhausting how much he singly focuses on the VC financing. This is a classic case of mismanagement by senior management & overly optimistic decisions by the C level staff. Nobody forced them to take on that funding, and clearly it helped them in early stages to grow their company and outcompete the companies with less funding(subbable, etc.) which he handwaves away.

Honestly this is the reason I generally ignore these types of video essays, the people who make them generally have the most lazy criticisms that always end up pointing to the same boogeymen(VC, capitalism, US, etc.)
