The efficiency of modern cold-climate heat pumps plummets to 200-300% at 40F and perhaps 175% at 5F.

Not to be pedantic (ok a little bit), but you don't normally include any costs on your balance sheet, but you might want to include them on your income statement.

I don't think so: they say explicitly that they hired to "match and fuel [...] growth".

While not 90%, transmission and distribution are around 40% of the cost of retail electricity, so lowering those substantially would go a long way.

I guess it depends on the country? In Germany (and a couple of other countries that I know of), the owners of a company are public.

You can surely see how this could be problematic? Q1: Should we lower taxes? Q2: Should we introduce 5k/month UBI?

If they did what you suggest, wouldn't you also conclude that they are doing it for the sake of (future) profit?

Name one thing that you, as a consumer, have not been able to get a consequence of the Seuz being blocked?

So do it? I really don't see the problem. I get that Deliveroo puts you on their platform even if you don't agree (the apps where I live don't do this), but if that's the case the …

No it doesn't make them fascist, and that's not what Eco is saying. Combining Saint Augustine and Stonehenge is syncretism, which is a symptom of Ur Fascism (as discussed) above. S…

I am not sure I understand your use of the word "symptom". Being syncretistic, by itself , is clearly not indicative of fascism (as you point out all religion is syncretistic to so…

I returned to this essay when I saw the photo of the Jake Angeli in the Capitol - a Q-supporter wearing an Indian buffalo mask and a tattoo of Odin, storming the capitol alongside …

I used Miranda - seems likes its getting developed

Austria has FM4, which is an amazing radio station and well worth license fee. ORF Sport is also pretty good.

That's fine - that's awareness marketing and if you want to do it with online ads that's up to you. But then you should consider it compared to your other awareness marketing chann…

The Nazis also built highways.

What about the morality of the situation? From a purely self-interested perspective I think its pretty obvious there is limited benefit given the risk. But if you are relatively yo…

It was an op-ed, not a story by the NYT.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand the role and requirements of serious journalism. One is attempting to corroborate information, and weighing that information by the likeliho…

Can you be a bit more specific on what you believe to be so important/surprising/relevant about this story that would make an entire journalistic career? What is the story that is …

Have you ever seen a bus or garbage truck accelerate 0-60 in 3 seconds?

Even if this data was correct, the difference is that in 2020 there were pretty stringent measures in place to reduce the spread of Covid (which were not in place in the past for m…

"What the writers had in mind" is one way of interpreting laws in the present day, but by no means the only way. You will probably find a ton of laws in effect today that are appli…

I think the key here is that it is bad according to society's legal norms, rather than any "socio-political norms". I think it is absolutely justifiable that Google filters based o…

Do you have any examples of socio-political bias relevant to the discussion at hand?
