Trucks have a higher duty cycle than cars so a battery pays for itself quicker. Truckers have legally mandated breaks that largely mitigates charging time. Charging infrastructure …

"To find out how many deaths actually occurred during the last two decades among FIFA players (2001-2020), we used Wikipedia - "List of association footballers who died while playi…

Recreational doses are 10x-30x that of medical doses and those effects are quite a bit less at medical doses https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/drug-users-use-a-lot-o...

>And it's with this decision that every reasonably happy, veteran developer I know distinguishes themselves. They all choose Extra. Selection without causality can explain this. Tu…

Yeah the tech seems feasible but I'm skeptical of controlling capital costs when you need carbon nanotubes membranes as a core piece. Air capture is also quite expensive and I'm no…

Many of those shareholders are diversified and may benefit more from a freer Russia than they lose in short term google profits

This seems good but falls apart with.long approval chains (which are maybe the core issue). If I need library PR approved so I can make a service 1 PR so I can make a production re…

Anyone can take a battery and just decrease the discharge rate and claim "long duration storage". The hard part is making it cheaper per kWh. If they made it cheaper per kWh then t…

Them: Please randomize a list in O(n) time. Me: so you just want me to generate O(n lg n) bits of entropy in O(n) time? That's not possible.

My username is "fucky" after I used an name to describe my feelings of having to create/use a Microsoft account. Exercise to the reader to guess the unshortened name

That's what qualifies as "compact" these days?

Yeah. I have a poor view of terraform since my first interaction was trying to a few one line changes to avoid repetition but couldn't find why it didn't work without setting up co…

IEA has consistently underestimated solar/wind deployment and cost improvements. Predicting minimal change each year even as prices drop and deployment soars. Should we really expe…

Thanks for the answers. How is session state kept? Is /event required (as data would be sent in /next?). Also as I understand, Processors won't be involved until they are needed. E…

Would be interested in: 1. How you implemented this on the backend? Did you consider using something like Temporal, AWS Simple Workflow, or AWS Step Functions? 2. Interested in how…

The source of this capability is hidden in that you had to pass in a Foo to the call site. If you had done similarly in the struct example by passing in the function Bar to the cal…

Coverage is pretty good. It is great for traveling abroad as it just works in most countries. However I'm looking to leave because Google's terrible handling of Hangouts which many…

It's bragging rights like owning a original painting when copies/replicas exist. Real question is how mucg is preventing a second competing NFT from existing for the same item via …

GP frames it wrong but building codes make make affordable housing very hard to create in ways unrelated to safety. >most homes built in Des Moines will be required to have a full …

An attack is anything that makes it take less than a brute force effort (of 2^80 operations). A 2^63 effort is really expensive in 2007. But by 2015 computation was maybe 2^5 times…

It's just potential energy minimization. A tall thin iceberg will float on its size in 2D or 3D.

This is a good overview of property based testing but the mentions of Cucumber threw me off. In my job Cucumber seems to add little more than just commenting and sequencing functio…

Do you have a sturdy table you could do a lateral row on? Maybe even just get a wood plank or bar and put it between two things?

75 kWh doesn't take a few hours with a supercharger. Doing similar with hydrogen is probably a similar level of infrastructure.

1. Hydrogen distribution might be able to use/share natural gas infrastructure (not high yield so embridlement isn't as big an issue) 2. Hydrogen is used for chemical processes (re…
