I read the article as saying it ignores all upper-bounds, and 4.0 is just an example. I could be wrong though - it seems ambiguous to me. But if we accept that it currently ignores…

He's calculating EV above cost. If you look at the calculation, the first term is -1000 to account for the initial investment. So the final value is tell you that you got back the …

Nothing wrong with sticking a summary up top, and then laying out the arguments below.

I feel like the process of editing my own stuff is at least as important as getting it down. That's when I go back through it and realize all the conclusions I leapt to, things I d…

They also mined by tearing apart mountains, and threw noticeable amounts of lead into the air doing it. > Roman-era mining activities increased atmospheric lead concentrations by a…

I feel like PassKeys and browser-integrated password managers both solve this problem better already. And yeah they're extra things to do, but so is this.

There are recycling pilot projects out there, but yeah it's a problem. Do you also wonder how we'll get rid of used coal power plants, massive piles of toxic fly ash, and tons of p…

> I wouldn't say the planet "barely" supported life before the oxygenation event. Otherwise we wouldn't have as much fossil evidence as we have. I believe you're talking about Eart…

Definitely a thing. Just yesterday I was annoyed by my auto mechanic's credit card fee, and said they should've told me up front. She pointed out it was on a sign on the counter th…

Isn't the local equivalent of Reddit just NextDoor? Which seems to mostly be worse, from what I can tell.

If I understood the article correctly, you can get a feed that isn't moderated by their team. So I'm not sure what your complaint is? That other people can get moderation if they c…

Since they're mostly not public, I'd say probably very few. From TFA: > To make things even more complex, many of these large companies are not traded publicly on the stock market,…

I think you're missing that person's point though. This evolution implied in the thread was: 1. Write "logging" data (observability, whatever) 2. Someone else starts using that to …

Maybe yours is set up for WiFi calling?

If your management is waving off the waste of something so immediately convertible into dollars as their (probably) highly-paid engineers' time, then they're idiots. Usually the ha…

I haven't followed the AV much, but I did mess around with using Oculus for work a fair amount, including trying that app and others. tl;dr, it's not super great. A few random reas…

You seem to be thinking specifically about documentation for one particular project, eg API docs. And in that context I'd agree. But Wikis are useful for things that are shared, or…

>V2G/H is more than likely to be a thing in the near future further putting the EV batteries to work stabilizing the grid. Yes. Even before we get to full V2G, managed charging pro…

Works if you live in a first-floor, street-facing unit and can reliably park in front of it. Otherwise it can be tough. It's unfortunate that EVs make the most immediate sense in h…

>at one point just the cost of the frame for keeping the cell integrity (specially under wind loads etc.) would start dominating costs Pretty sure I've seen that the cells themselv…

>Most of those flats have large balconies on the back... with a staircase. It sounds like you're describing an external staircase - loosely speaking a fire escape. I could be wrong…

> or if you die, then it immediately becomes illegal to possess again. Arrest that corpse for possession of radioactive material! :P

Lazard LCOE 2023 puts solar PV including storage as cost competitive with natural gas CC plants. The very first chart puts solar+storage at $46-102/MWh, with gas at $42-101/MWh. ht…

> Not really: batteries and solar need to be replaced more often that coal plant. The design lifetimes are on the same order of magnitude, and the components of the coal plant need…

Good news - the volcanoes are already moving! Bad news - they're moving at a geological pace, and away from most of the state's population and power demand.
