What does that mean?

Rare earths are "rare" for two reasons - they are spread about and don't appear in high concentrartions - at least one is "as common" in the crust as copper but it doesn't form in massive lumps of "quite a lot together" in the manner of copper (which forms in several types of clumps, eg [1]).

The other reason they are rare is that they are mostly geochemically bound to other things in the way that silver and gold are not - a strong chemically reaction is required to free them and make them appear - that's a lot of wetwork with acids | reactive gases | etc [2].

What's actually crazy is how relatively non-"lost" it really was. Once you know what it's called you can go find it on Amazon, and there's reviews from 2000 still just sitting there; it's probably been on sale this whole time. Someone put it up on YouTube in 2010.

F-150 Lightning are not selling well because they are insanely overpriced for what you get. Ford claimed it would start around $35k but the lowest trim I've seen was $80k and they're supposedly selling it at a loss.

CT will likely sell primarily to people who don't want/need a truck but are buying it for novelty and have money to spend.

I think Elon made a mistake with this one (and has even alluded to that). Pursuing CT over the $25k was a bad idea that might set Tesla back some years.

I'd like to know this too, the article only let me read two paragraphs.

I found a NASA stat that an US average car will emit a metric ton of CO2 in 3 months of use.

"The U.S. EPA has found that a typical 22 MPG gas-based car emits about 5 tons of carbon dioxide per year. On average, you emit one ton of CO2 for about every 2,500 miles you drive".

CarbonCure(the partner of Heirloom here) agrees with me on the math: "CarbonCure’s global network of concrete producer partners has produced more than five million truckloads of carbon mineralized concrete, removing and reducing more than 365,000 metric tons of CO2. That’s equivalent to taking more than 80,000 gas-powered cars off the road for a year."

So this 1000 metric ton CO2 DAC plant could offset the activities of 100-400 vehicles in a year... minus the activities of the employees to get to the plant. That's what I wanna know. When are the workers going to stop driving 60 miles round trip to work? And how many need to be at work everyday at the plant?

I guess at least California is pushing electric cars.

Stepping back, and looking at the situation as a whole: the real problem is a lack of privacy laws. Banks, businesses and employers should be prohibited from sharing your personal information with third parties.

I live in Switzerland, where this is the case. Even the government doesn't get this information. If the government thinks you're cheating on your taxes, they have to use warrants and follow the same procedures as for any other crime.

The only financial records accessible are records of legal debt collection actions ("Betreibungen"). Before offering someone credit, you can find out if other people had to sue them to collect.

Yet, even with so little information - without credit reporting agencies - everything works just fine.

FWIW, due to international pressure (things like FATCA), Swiss law was changed so that banks do report on international customers.

> However, in practice, any attempt at de-identification requires removal not only of your identifiable information, but also of information that can identify you when considered in combination with other information known about you.

So, anonymization may be well intended and sophisticated, but is only effective as long as you control and anonymize all the data available to your adversary. Which you obviously cannot. The best you can achieve with anonymized data is to allow non-malicious users to run some analysis on your data in a controlled environment without exposing them to information they should not see. If that's your employer's business model, well, there may be a market niche for that.

> nicotine by itself is nowhere near as dangerous for health, it even has some benefits for well-being.

So, recently I had to learn that nicotine is super toxic and can be lethal or at least severely damaging to internal organs, especially for children, toddlers, babies, small animals (dogs, cats), etc.

Maybe Google it, or ask your doctor, if your assumption that "by itself is nowhere near as dangerous for health, it even has some benefits for well-being" stands.
Matthew includes the name YHWH as opposed to the ordinary word referring to any god (el). It would be more analogous to the many Greek names along the lines of Apollodorus / Diodorus / Asclepiodorus. This makes it unlikely to have an Arabic cognate.

It also appears to be based off a nounal stem "gift" as opposed to a verbal stem "give".

But yes, it appears to be a fundamentally similar name. There are more; Jonathan combines the explicit YHWH reference with the verbal stem of Nathaniel.

That's silly. That's like condemning logic or mathematics.

If you want future viability, you can ask if there is a cheap way or an expensive way to get what you want. That's economics. It says nothing about what your goal is.
Humans have a huge base model trained over billions of years of evolution. It’s impressive how quickly we learn, but it’s arguably comparable to fine tuning an existing model rather than starting from scratch.

Conversely, I find it insanely impressive how human-like LLMs have become by doing little more than feeding a vast quantity of reading material into a very basic neural architecture. I wouldn’t have ever believed how successful that approach would be.

Strong opioids are the only option that works for many people with chronic pain. In some countries (but not the US), heroin (technical name: diamorphine) is used for extreme pain, like late stage cancers.

You're forgetting a key factor though: politics.

What you're arguing is a rational idea of economics that doesn't exist. Instead, we have this bastard version influenced by politics, which in practice, cares nothing of the key objectives which concern future viability.

Instead, we get this thing that demands infinite growth and consumption. That's modern economics and it's destroying us.

> being extraordinarily well positioned to compete isn’t a crime or legally anticompetitive

Actually, using profits in one sector to dominate a second is pretty classical monopolist behavior. I’m fine with competition but if the bid is insincere because they’re not going to do the work for that number - the winner typically pays what the 2nd bidder bid typically in such contracts - or because it’s to capture a monopoly position and recoup the rest of the investment through rent seeking over the long term, these are negative behaviors we should discourage through various means.

> And it’s not reasonable to say the EV market lacks competitors.

That was true of the internet too. Yet somehow we ended up with a handful of major tech companies.

> But I fully expect a Standard Oil world where EV charging is owned by Tesla. Then, legal market remedies would be squarely on the table.

Wait. So you agree this strategy that Tesla is employing is likely to cause a problem in the future but your position is to remedy it in the future after it’s obviously an even bigger problem with jobs tied to it making it more politically risky, the legal and political climate being a joke on antitrust at the moment?

Also the rest of what you wrote is basically “there’s no law against it”. I’m saying there should be laws against predatory pricing and simple ones like your penalty is paying a fine which is based on what a fair price would have been and how much you’ve cost the economy through that behavior which government regulators and academic economists get to determine independently (& pick the highest price). You don’t need to do this for all companies - just ones who have enough cash flow that such behaviors are possible in the first place (a startup that’s not turning over a billion or so per quarter has a hard time pulling this kind of shit). Oh and treat fundraising like revenue a bit in that it counts towards you being regulated (eg if you’re market cap in a private market is >1B you can’t have any loss leading products).

The last one, not burning it in the first place, is the thermodynamically-easiest thing to do.

However, there's already a lot of CO2 in the air, and we'll be wise to pull that out, too, so the impacts of warming are blunted.

Part of the way people will begin to vote for carbon-usage restrictions is when they begin to discover exactly how expensive it will be to remove from the air. The big catalyst, of course, is when they begin to personally feel acute effects of climate-change.

This [1] was my catalytic moment. Everyone's will be different, but we're each going to have one or more experiences that change our view on fossil fuels.
