    Then the music focused tidal.com maybe be for you. They claim to send a higher percentage of revenue to the artists.

    Also, the learning curve on wind and solar is so much faster than nuclear.

    Tidal pays more for the artist and has a higher quality streaming option if that matters to you. Qobuz is another good artist friendly stream that historically paid the most to art…

    I would be more accurate to say parts of the planet will become hostile to human life that currently are not. India, for example, will have human shattering heat waves. And it is h…

    This does signal what type of person you are dealing with if they don't go along with the word change. For example, if I heard someone using the negro word I would think that there…

    I believe nuclear can be cost effective. I believe nuclear can be safe. I just don't believe nuclear can be safe and cost effective. We have been trying to solve this nuclear energ…

    It is interesting to compare US vs Canadian suicide rates to see what impact gun ownership could have. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

    The key is in the name, mobility. Being able to look at a map on the web on your home computer is nice, being able to look at map anyplace your phone works is the so much better.

    It is more complex, and worse than that due to heat domes. Air, when it descends, heats up. And a high pressure heat dome results in air descending, so the amount of heat is higher…

    A recent study put the Pfizer vaccine at a 97% hospitalization prevention rate, which is much better than the AZ one. How comparable all these studies is a good question. https://w…

    I don't see any evidence humans are smart enough to operate nuclear power safely. There are too many examples of humans not fully understanding nuclear, or just being stupid with n…

    Modern renewable power is like a server farm, whereas nuclear power is like an old mainframe. Server failure is built into the server farm model, whereas mainframes try to avoid fa…

    People weren't saying we are doomed, but were saying are doomed if we don't do anything about an issue. For example, if the birds are dying out because of ddt, we eliminate ddt. If…

    Elon Musk has start up ideas, and most start up ideas fail. Yes, he overhypes the ideas, but this is common in the start up world. The difference is he has been involved with three…

    The relative performance of these two queries will vary by data volume. Swap in a sales table for the weights table, and make that a massive sales table at that, joining it to much…

    Solar panels, which we have built millions of, are on a learning curve. The more we build, the cheaper they get. Storage is still a problem, but that too can handled in a distribut…
