It is entirely reasonable to believe that China is transitioning away from fossil fuels in the medium term and that they're freeing themselves from vulnerable oil+gas supply lines in the short term, in preparation for a possible Pacific conflict. What alarms me (for both reasons) is that the US and its allies are not doing the same thing. (*Yes, I know the US itself has plenty of domestic oil, but plenty of our critical allies are equally vulnerable to blockade.)
You're describing a zero-sum game. That is, increasing your chances of living by sharply reducing chances of survival for someone else's family. I personally know a family who lost their father to this equation. (His funeral was the largest I've ever attended.)

On the other side of driving are millions of drivers now have to spend their trips surrounded by moving walls that reduce visibility to fog-like levels. Being able to predict traffic by seeing far ahead is increasingly impossible - and this reduces reaction time from 10 or 20 seconds to less than 2.

An aggressive driver is an issue that moves on from me. Visibility killers don't. They dominate most every trip, continually making everyone else less safe.

Elliptic Curves GPT: All Things Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
"True HEPA" is an unfortunate side-effect of companies like BlueAIR, which use names like "HEPASilent" to refer to filtration which doesn't meet HEPA requirements. (Note that I'm not saying that HEPASilent is better or worse than HEPA H13, just that the name is designed to obfuscate.)

Companies need some way to help consumers differentiate filters which meet HEPA requirements from those which don't.

I know it was only one piece of the article that talks about RTO, but as an aside, I don't think I've ever once in my life, in person or online, seen someone arguing for remote work that provided even a single piece of data, a single number, to back up their assertions. Their arguments instead just presuppose that RTO is awful and remote work is amazing, as if everyone "just knows" it. And apparently everybody that's involved with RTO is supposedly just a complete idiot that doesn't know anything about their business, or, as hinted at in the article, they're involved in some sort of grand conspiracy to force an "ineffective" RTO on workers for conspiratorial reasons.

Florida considers socialist model to combat soaring insurance costs
If the government borrows and slack remains in the economy, standard economic theory also predicts limited effects on inflation. What about MMT is different?

The two concerns that standard economics seems to have around the government borrowing excess money is higher debt load, and crowding out.
Having used four different CPAs in the past to file taxes, I spent far more money to spend about the same time working on it. I was audited three times, have never been audited since using FTU.
Typically at the moment we talk about a price of about $15 a MWH for Wind and $14 for Solar (last year anyway). So around $0.15 p/KWH for the power to charge and discharge it. Assuming the wind/solar is only going for a third of the day that brings the average price up to about $.209 p/kwh when we take into account battery wear cost. That is definitely economically viable in a very large number of places in the world.

Incidentally the totals work out about the same on a home solar system, my battery is 0.09 p/kwh and the Solar output averages out to about 0.07p/kwh but get paid for export at 0.15 p/kwh.
If you're in a typical situation (salary, investments), doing your own taxes isn't particularly hard. If you're a freelancer or business owner or you have a lot of weird sources of income, sure, paying an accountant is probably worth it.
> gas backup for such scenarios (which are relatively rare, and during which renewables will still operate at some non-100% fraction of the required energy)

Now you have built two energy systems and one of them has to be on standby and ready to be used only rarely. Cross your fingers and hope everything still works. You also have to maintain long term storage of gas, staff that knows how everything operates, etc.
Because I personally don't like remote work, I'm ok with requiring 100% RTO. But bad management is a problem.

Yes, this. Large bureaucracies tend to resemble each other for pretty understandable reasons. It doesn't much matter what the name of the organization is, nor whether it's governmental or private.

Hmm. I can't think of any time I've thought the app was really missing something, or didn't work. In fact, I always thought the app was pretty smooth and "just worked".

By comparison, several years ago, I was regularly streaming Netflix content without any trouble. One day I streamed a show on the HBO app on mobile data and it ate up almost all of my month's data usage. I guess it's behind the scenes work, and not so exciting, to e.g. stream a smaller resolution for a mobile phone, but in moments like that you realise there are a substantial amount of things to think about when making such an app.
It also depends how much one overbuilds the supply, since the batteries need to be fully charged at the beginning of that 12 week drought.

Based on a quick reading it seems they are assuming the average supply is 130% of the average load over the year.
Yes. If you can necessarily and sufficiently prompt an LLM with authoritative facts, it can usually generate reasonable copy around it. For example, if you were a PwC or McKinsey consultant tasked with rapidly generating a voluminous, glossy deliverable in need of a consistent, formal style, LLMs offer an initial starting point Easy Button for content generation prior to human editing (perhaps assisted by an on-prem "grammarly" app) and pasting into ye olde templates.
Well, we are forced to constantly be seeking continual growth as individuals. If you don't, you are viewed as stale, a dead-end. So the least we can do is expect the same in return from our companies.
And why are limitless german highways (I live very close to one) so safe? There are way less death there, by any measure you want, than on U.S. highways.

1/4th the population of the US and yet only 1/14th the number of deaths on the road.

Deaths on the highways in Germany amount to 270 people or so. In the US it's something like 5000.

There are 2 versions of the PS5: base and digital. The base version comes with a Blu-ray drive that can play Ultra HD Blu-ray discs.
Are you looking for something that accepts a metric from your end (number of appointments found) and alerts on a rule (Zero appointments found in the past 24 hours)?
This is HN in 2024, and people are complaining about aspect ratios? For about 15 years now I have been feeding physical DVDs & BluRays into < $100 USB DVD/BR players, filtered through makemkv, and then through mpv or whatever which understands AC3 pass through to at first a NAD pre-amp and currently now that my NAD died, Denon receiver, which does the down mix to 3.0. Looks and sounds glorious, aspect ratios are not a problem at all, and a backup drops out, huh.

peace of mind is not that big of an issue and the guide-through UI does provide a lot of time savings relative to say filling out the raw forms.

Hey, maybe you should consider writing fanfiction to satiate these urges and analyses. Not joking. I don't write fanfiction, but I read it, and whenever I read the author stating their motivation for writing, it's something like this, just for the story of some particular series, books, or game, rather than it being noted as a trend.
240W are reached using higher voltages (48V@5A), not higher currents, compared to 100W (20W@5A).

The only real concern is arcing while making or breaking a connection, and the 48V mode has special provisions to avoid that, including the cable having to have provisions to make the the control pins are disconnected before the power pins to give the power supply time to lower the voltage.
> Students chanted “Free Palestine” (...) with fury and at times glee, like they were reciting catchy songs instead of slogans demanding the erasure of the Jewish people.

It seems the author is incapable of distinguishing pro-Palestine from pro-Hamas, and equally incapable of distinguishing anti-Israel from anti-semitism. A pity from someone who is ostensibly advocating from critical thinking.

I always find it fascinating how many anti-Palestinians insist it's an atrocity not to condemn Hamas, but themselves see no reason at all to condemn Israel, which has now rendered Gaza "uninhabitable": https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/05/un-warns-gaza-...

To be clear: Hamas is a horrific terrorist organization. The vast majority of people are not advocating for or defending them. Most Pro-Palestinian protestors are, however clumsy their wording, advocating for the right of Palestinian citizens, women and children, to have a safe place to live.

I think this is intended to offer simultaneous dual-band (2.4GHz and 5GHz) using two separate radios, as all decent APs for over a decade have done. The SoC provides one of the two radios, and the second is connected over PCIe. Whether your 2.4GHz or 5GHz radio more badly needs an upgrade in a few years can be hard to predict.

I barely know anything about taxes but I've heard restructuring an LLC into an S corp can help specific tax situations but you have to have a firm handle it so you can pay out taxes every month instead of only once a year. Is that something FTU can do?

Is it region locked? In the UK it's basically cobwebs. 99% of new stuff is just unwatchable filler. Template stories with dialogues probably written by ChatGPT.
Am I confused or after 5 years is this essentially a wash? E.g. previously in year 1 if I had one dev earning $100k I could deduct $100k from my revenue and pay taxes on the remainder. Now I need to spread that over 5 years. Thus if this dev kept their income at $100k (to make the math easy) I would write off $20k in year 1, $40k in year 2, $60k in year 3, etc. After 5 years we are back to what taxes were previously...
> The way it was overlooked by me is because a ‘bin’ is something you clear regularly, but deleted records will likely persist forever.

Clear regularly, but usually also has the option to undo. The article sort of suggests something similar to clearing regularly.

> So you may eventually find yourself writing a hard deletion process which looks at soft deleted records beyond a certain horizon and permanently deletes them from the database.

Another other reason to do soft-deletes up front, then hard delete later is because in some DBs (eg: OLAP), deletes can be extremely expensive. It's sometimes better to soft-delete (or invalidate references), and handle the hard-deletes in a batch-oriented manner on a regular basis.
Could you share your list please?
I think there's an important distinction here though. We access copyrighted material all the time though, as accessing copyrighted material is not always protected in the ways you describe. We view copyrighted images via Google Images, for example. That works because Google stores metadata to point at the content and then loads it. Copyright is (broadly) more about the "not copying" it part.
I don't know if this will work or not, but I believe it is a good idea and well worth trying. What's better is if successful it could be adopted by any state.

Here in Michigan we have investor groups where they meet every month but almost never do a single investment. It apparently is a big social club for well healed individuals. Maybe a place to get good pitching practice but nothing more.
It doesn't have to however. There is nothing inherent in the mining of lithium that requires CO2 emission, we already have electrical replacements for the industrial vehicles that do the mining in some mines already and its simply a matter of time to replacing the rest. All the solar companies in China run off their own panels and cover their own power needs so the actual emissions are dropping all the time.

Just because an EV being charged emits CO2 today when charged from the grid does not mean that emission wont be reducing over time, it will as the grid power comes increasing from renewable sources. So it is with the production of batteries, PVs and wind turbines a lot of these companies take this as a bootstrapping exercise you have to burn fossil fuels to make the transition but once you do you use the green power to make the next versions with considerably less impact.
