>In some areas, density is appropriate, and in some areas it's not. Indeed, the way we have effectively banned density everywhere is wildly inappropriate. Cities should allow dense…

I've heard talk from some folks telling these people that their concerns about data center water use, power, noise etc. are overblown. Water companies disagree, saying data center …

Amazingly, they managed to _undersell_ the ill effects that the oil industry would have on even just the US, such as the oil-driven military actions we've taken over the years.

The "coastal elites" they resent are made up by conservative media. No behavior changes by the yuppies can affect the ever-increasing resentment people feel in response to this sne…

Deploying thousands more gas turbines in a short time is impossible. Lead times for gas turbines are already multiple years.

Market efficiency as most people in the US mean requires the presence of things like roads in decent condition and regulation of RF spectrum use. Both of those are funded via taxes…

One of the problems is that rather than billionaires being it for money, they’re in it for money. They don’t lack for money to live, sure, but they do want more money for the power…

I agree but I also think this end up a case of "worse is better". Sure it sucks that doing things with AI is slower and more prone to issues, but now you can be more lazy and still…

Apple's market cap would have dropped by 30-50% if they had signed CUDA drivers? How would that have played out?

I agree that we must stop subsidies for cattle farming.

Whoever added the pause button on the image carousel on that page, I applaud you.

There are plenty of long, straight, flat roads around town here, where riding at 28mph would be perfectly safe. People driving feel free to go 30+mph, after all. My e-bike's assist…

I propose a new and improved e-bike classification scheme: Class A: Bikes that can not go over 10mph via a throttle. And can’t go over 28mph with pedal assist. Or set the pedal ass…

How did we go from "wealth extracted from [Europeans and Europe]" to "wealth extracted from a company"?

Having used Android Studio for work for a few years and used Xcode quite a lot for longer, I find the praise for Android Studio to be puzzling. I would give it "fine" but no way I'…

This problem is very real. There is at least an ok way to avoid it getting too bad: make lots of View and ViewModifier structs, with each one having smallish amounts of code. Split…

I've used it to make proper sheet music out of tabs people post on Ultimate Guitar. It was a slog to get started, but I suspect that is because of the wide range of symbols etc I n…

I’ve had this happen as well. Unfortunately I only book — and want to drive — sedans, so I learned I have to make sure to say so to the rental company employee if they say they’re …

I am surprised to see these are subscriptions when the Mac versions are one-time purchases. I wonder if they will make the subscriptions work for both these new iPad versions as we…

Why would everyone high speed charge? You can get 250 miles in Model 3 at 12 hours of 6.6kW (~22 mi/hour). Even only eight hours would get 170 miles. Eight hours of charging per ni…

I’ve used ARC with a stereo pair via my Apple TV for a while now. It sounds amazing. I can even play FPS games on my gaming PC with the audio piped to my HomePods, through the Appl…
