Look at the trend lines. Solar and batteries are getting cheaper on an exponential curve; nuclear and fossil fuels aren't. Those trends won't continue forever, but they're pretty much locked in for the next few years…
That's not new rules. It's just a basic application of existing rules. We already have definitions of what realized and unrealized capital gains are and we already have the rule about how much capital gains on a primary…
Every non-trivial organization everywhere has some level of law breaking. We should try to avoid it, but we will never get to zero. Secret courts on the other hand undermine the entire concept of rule of law and we…
Nonsense. It's going to be the cheapest no matter what.
If you are borrowing against unrealized appreciation of more than the $250k that is exempt for a primary residence, you should be. If you are borrowing to buy the house in the first place, then all of the capital gains…
Anthropic has ample resources to fight this law if it is unjust. They should get vigorous, to-the-letter enforcement of the law to stress-test it for people who don't have the same level of resources. Selective…
And the current US administration is on the wrong side of almost all of them.
Seasonal will be handled with wind-power (tends to produce more power when solar is producing less), building extra (power being too cheap in the summer is a great problem to have) and long-distance power transmission…
Secret courts are anathema to democracy and need to be abolished.
With the way prices are trending, soon solar power is going to be the cheapest power source even in the winter. No one is going to complain that electricity is too cheap during the summer.
There's still sun during the winter; you just need more solar panels for the same amount of energy. Also, there tends to be more wind during the winter, so wind power makes a good complement to solar.
Good riddance. If they would rather lose access to one of the most lucrative markets ever to have existed than pay a small share of their dragon's horde, then we won't miss them.
Efficiency is often directly opposed to resiliency. Governments and militaries should prioritize resiliency over efficiency.
Dual class share structures like this need to be abolished from public companies. If you want the benefits of being a public company, then you shouldn't be able to keep absolute control of the company.
Cookie banners aren't really about cookies. They're about tracking, which can be done with or without cookies.
Yeah, it's going to be hard for someone to pick an arbitrary target and get into a position to exploit it, but there are an enormous number of people who are in the position to exploit someone. One rogue employee at…
There's basically no difference between Saudi oligarchs and western oligarchs. They're all just the same assholes who think they should get to dictate how other people live their lives.
Not directly, but ultimately its funding is non-voluntary and is backed by the state's monopoly on violence.
This is the #1 problem facing the US. Consistent application of the law is only available to those who can pay for it and far too slow even when you can pay.
No, I don't that a cooperatively run streaming service needs to have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force in a given territory. There could easily be multiple competing cooperatives.
Which instances do you think aren't misleading? Other than the explicitly electronic ones, it seems like nearly all of the awards are either from the Nikkei Hoshi Shinichi Literary Award or have some caveat like only…
Because there are a million literary awards and some of them are awarded by people who are bad at recognizing quality. Additionally, many of these cases were only partially created using AI or aren't proven to have…
Yeah, you have a lifetime appointment to one of the most powerful jobs in the world and it pays >$300k with a great pension. You should not be allowed any other sources of income full stop. Same for the president. No…
I'm thoroughly baffled by this story. Digger was non-stop laughs when I saw it. The End of Oak Street I don't remember as well, but I'm pretty sure there were some moments that got big laughs.
The entire economy is a grift now.
