I'm glad to see this. I don't want to live in the mental straight jacket that these "activists" want to create.
This is an article by ourworldindata, who aggregate a bunch of (mostly economic) metrics from countries around the world. It is common for energy use to be reported in that way on a country level. This looks like an…
It looks like they're venture capitalists, so I won't hold it against them!
Ha, aren't you describing wall street right now? We're already living this!
This looks extremely cool. I'm doing a masters right now and would definitely use it! My one question though would be how are the notes stored? Is it possible to download them as latex or a markdown file or something?…
Layoffs seem to be up, but that's a questionable chart if ever I saw one. I doubt they have had representative coverage of the market for that whole period. With those numbers, looks like it's as much a chart of the…
Oh man, that's literally the only thing holding me back from thunderbird. I used it years ago and would love to go back!
Without megaprojects, we'd all probably still be living a subsistance agrarian lifestyle. It's hard to tag specific dollars to a specific public project, they often work as multipliers across the economy.
Suing contractors for the bureaucratic nightmare you create means that every future bid will now have a buffer to cover the expense of that.
I think you can technically mitigate some concerns for the people who understand that, but practically it's going to be a very different story. People will believe who/what they believe, and an expert opinion on…
That sounds great on paper, but you would almost definitely get people squeezing around the letter of the law. I mean, take noise. It seems easy to regulate because you just put a decibel limit on it, but that doesn't…
The solution seems to be a Goldilocks zone between popularity and death, too popular and it devolves, too unpopular and it dies. HN manages to keep itself tucked neatly into that zone I think.
Tunnels are also significantly more expensive, which is why they're so rare. With a tunnel, you generally have significant earthworks, possibly a permanent groundwater issue (you may have essentially created a boat that…
It's like that smart home post from a few days ago. The dream is that lights, heating and entertainment automatically turn on and off and adjust throughout the day. The reality is that someone in the house has to become…
Where I grew up, they used the number of cranes visible on the skyline as an indicator of the strength of the economy.
There is balance in all things. Engineers shouldn't be ignored, but we are also not omniscient. As an engineer myself, having worked on product and having been a client of engineers working on products for me, I can…
Ha, I did the exact same thing. I guess the fed has it all wrong! Edit: I guess it's not as fair to the player, but maybe there should be more randomness in there, or perhaps some kind of forcing function that makes…
I don't know why you're being downvoted. Something like a third of GHG emissions come from heating, if you can extract the heat from a datacentre you're displacing something like gas, it is something to hope for.
It's a bizarre situation, they'd actually probably be better off voting to leave the UK and rejoining the EU.
3blue1brown is fantastic. Every once in a while I'll be like "what is the intuition behind determinants again?", and boom, there's a thoughtful and concise video on it. However, there's no magic bullet that will let you…
What's old is new again I guess? These types of ideas have been around since the 1970s. Block randomization and incorporation of features to model the response surface are already fairly standard well known methods.
I think Salesforce is fine for large companies with teams of sales reps and a well staffed IT department, but it's overkill for most small to medium sized companies with just a few sales reps. If you can run on a creaky…
I don't think it's questioning anyone's competence to suggest that a single scientific result might have confounding factors. This is one study done by one team. If the result was repeated in several studies, all coming…
Maybe rocks in the scree cool down the air in the pores between them. Cool air is denser so it sinks and flows out at the bottom of the porous layer, and new warm air is pulled into the ground towards the top of the…
Invest in very boring things, like S&P500 and AGG ETFs. If you feel tempted, try investing a couple of percent in something more exiting. You'll find its easy to invest with hindsight but very hard to do it in reality.…
