Requirements about surcharge notifications and displaying all-up prices are nice, but the gap here will still be about enforcement and not regulation. The core problem for dollar-s…

it's also important to know your audience. If they've spent their career reading technical papers or dense prose, that's one thing. If they've largely grown up in the social media …

I've been using the Viture XR Pro glasses and they're fine for occasional PC use but I don't like them enough to use a daily driver for work. It's great for gaming and movies as yo…

In terms of impact, it doesn't sound major, I agree. But it's still work that will need to be done. As industry and transport become more electrified, and electric generation gets …

> The work may be niche, but the impact could be high. About 1 percent of SF6 leaks from electrical equipment. In 2018, that translated to 8,200 tonnes of SF6 emitted globally, acc…

There's a good DEFCON 29 presentation on this topic. https://youtu.be/cIcbAMO6sxo If you skip forward to 16m 33s you'll be treated to a lively streak of invective from the passenge…

The catch here is the cost of the buildings you'd need to destroy in order to build the surface portion of the windcatcher. The deep underground lines run under heavily populated a…

Good share. fascinating rabbit hole to fall down. Interesting to read about other vessels which had been lost or abandoned in the same area and many months later washed up ashore r…

I'd like to know more about the near-miss. Was it close to either port or was it during the open-ocean portion of the voyage? The "Loose Ends" section of Teplow's write-up mentions…

I agree that the current nuclear proposal seems intended principally to extend the life of the coal and gas plants. It's likely born from a cynical attitude of 'who cares about how…

was really hoping the threshold is 65,535 because I'm much more likely to reach it counting backwards.

I read it as solar + batteries, not solar alone.

Will be interesting to see how Australia goes. They have extensive rooftop solar already, and one of the major parties in the current election is proposing to build nuclear power p…

If you listen to the episode you'll learn that such escalation did occur, and unfortunately the harrassment by local LEO did not cease.

The supercavitating supersonic submarine is a nice endpoint for the evasion discussion but I can't help thinking about the wake that would leave. Yes it can depart the firing area …

yes. I don't think "most of" one thing and "a large portion of" another thing are mutually exclusive.

More that they don't have it in the right places, or they don't have the ability to shift it temporally to when it's not so abundant. Per the article they are forecast to add 300 G…

That's over 8,000 miles. An aircraft with that kind of unrefueuled range could go pretty much anywhere from New York, except Australia, SE Asia, or the tips of Africa and India.
