I wonder if the terminal value of an EV will be higher than ICE. This seems possible if there are secondary users for batteries, motors, or if the mineral content is more valuable (e.g., obviously rare Earth and lithium…
First order logics can be provably sound and complete when they do not express certain arithmetic operations.
Window placement with multiple monitors is broken beyond belief. I am hoping someone from Apple is reading this thread.
There are two views of this. The first is that at any given point in time, my instantaneous energy use is offset by renewables. The second is that over some period of time (e.g., one month) my aggregate energy use is…
Power is pooled. If I buy from a supplier or group of suppliers that (1) procures only from renewable resources (2) isn’t reselling power from non renewable sources, (3) hasn’t sold the power more than once, and (4) is…
Missed the part about XP. Question still applies to the 95 disk.
Is this why there was a copy of Weezer’s Buddy Holly music video was on there too?
This doesn’t seem right to me. Is this 200k per dispenser? The dispenser is really just a fancy switch and a plug in a kiosk. If you are talking about the central transformer/switching systems, then yes that makes…
Congress currently has, and always has had, control of regulatory agencies. There are many ways this works. In many cases, congresses created the agencies by legislation so they can simply change the powers of the…
Chevron eliminated discretion regarding how an agency interprets what powers it has been given if the law is unclear about such things. It does not eliminate the ability to make and enforce rules if those powers/rules…
At the time they had an advertising product they were offering to solar installers based on site quality that used this feature. If I had to guess they probably stopped offering it when that product didn’t take off.
From the parent: “Political uncertainty about the future energy system is jacking up the rate of return investors are demanding of gas plant projects without contracted revenues.” Your argument about lobbyists creating…
Why call this political uncertainty as opposed to economic uncertainty? The future is intrinsically uncertain. The only thing that has changed is new entrants to the market. If gas plants can be replaced by something…
If I have a hybrid car and I make a trip that doesn’t use the engine, are you saying I can’t say I didn’t use the engine because I could have?
Rivian made scalping extra valuable by freezing the price for early reservation holders and raising the price for later reservation holders. Further, vehicles purchased in 2022 may qualify for a tax break while most ‘23…
The point about speed would be true under pretty much any incentive model except an hourly rate for the buy side. My point is when you are buying, your agent wants you to pay more. This is not what you want generally.…
If a buyer’s agent gets any percentage of a sale, the buyer’s agent and the buyer have misaligned interests. They might ‘represent’ the buyer, but the buyer’s agent has the same economic incentives as the seller (higher…
Zoning plays a key role in building because it derisks investing in building capital. If I know that all the parcels around me are residentially zoned then I can build a house with confidence knowing that someone isn’t…
The growth rate of this installed capacity is just astounding. Lots to say about timing, land use, tax incentives, stranded costs, etc but it is truly remarkable just how much steel/silicon has been put in the ground…
What do you think the price would be without solar? The answer: higher.
And institutions often have multiple goals for which they are more or less capable/flawed. And not all goals are equal: some things are intrinsically hard and we should expect failures that don’t undermine either the…
I think the average high school price is incorrect. I would love to see better data. I edited my previous bullet to reflect this.
The first bullet says: “$23,839 is the average annual tuition among the nation’s private K-12 schools.” Edit: it looks like there is an error on this page. The bar chart the numbers are much higher. Anecdotally, private…
The first bullet says: “$23,839 is the average annual tuition among the nation’s private K-12 schools.”
There is a chart at the bottom. Costs doubled over twenty years since 1999, directly comparable to the college rate over the same period and well above inflation.
