Plus he can hail you a cab.
Skylights are usually terrible because they heat the most at midday (when it's already the most hot) whereas conventional windows heat the most at dawn/dusk when it's colder. Skylights also suck because they're exposing…
I'm pretty sure the subtext of that comment was that the benefit of electric motors in retro cars is the emission reduction (and possibly cost and maintenance reduction), and not improved specs/experience. Saying "ye…
Renewables are very predictable, they're just intermittent.
Facebook/etc aren't a free-for-all, they're much worse than that - they selectively provide a stream of news designed to drive "engagement", of which angry obsession is one type. Social media aren't "platforms", they're…
Housing is also really weird: - the main input (land) is also an output, so when the price of the output goes up, so does the value of the input. - economies of scale don't really work, due to the impracticality of…
So you want all parents to be helicopter parents?
A CD is 100% technologically capable of having the duration and physical size of a vinyl.
I don't dispute your own personal motives, but if it's never been a goal for most people, then CC0 would be more popular than the BSD or MIT license - it's simpler and much more legally straightforward to apply.
PACs.
Certification isn't a moat; either the software is certified as safe/bug-free or it isn't. If it's safe, that just makes it more valuable to pirates.
Okay, but you don't have to - and "efficient" coders won't bother, thus starving the commons.
>They are largely concerned about employment (and more generally economic stability) and to that end seek measures intended to protect workers. Pffft no. Most of us think that AI is being used as a political trick -…
That would be insane for aerospace software, where you might spend most of that time getting the code certified (required to break the $0 revenue threshold), let alone paying back your costs and then making an actual…
Lots of people who don't read the HN Guidelines, apparently: In Comments Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less,…
Chinese state govt is building them in response to poorly thought out federal govt incentives. That plus backup plans (since China had plenty of coal but needs to import gas, so it could easily be navally blockaded by…
Now ask it whether it produces more renewable energy than the rest of the world combined. BREAKING NEWS: China is big.
There's at least as much battery production of batteries in Ireland as there are viable coal mine sites.
Indonesia would be the obvious replacement - Indonesia is a pacific island nation (the islandiest) which exports a ton of coal.
Nuclear also relies on sea imports - nuclear fuel still needs to be imported, unless Taiwan has a uranium mine on the island. So nuclear doesn't solve the problem, it just kicks the can down the road.

It is. But solar produces most around midday and then tapers off toward dawn/dusk, so it might supply 100% of demand at midday but only 10% around sunset. If you build more solar it'll meet 100% of demand for a larger…
>Only if you ignore all externalities Not even then. Coal is dead, and gas killed it. The externalities are a distraction, coal plants are just straight-up uneconomic.
>It's because of the rules of the European Energy Market where all electricity has to be as expensive as the most expensive source. Are you talking about the marginal cost? Don't blame the govt, blame the economics…
>Coal is cheap No it's not. I'm not talking about the environment either, coal plants are just straight-up more expensive than gas plants and renewables. Coal plants are necessarily steam turbines and not internal…
