Your first statement is not true. Eggs can absolutely have salmonella in them if the chicken ovary is infected as the egg is forming. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC173326/ Unless the rules changed within…
NuScale/Fluor claim they can bring the UAMPS project in Idaho online by 2027 at an amortized average energy cost of about $55/MWh. https://www.powermag.com/nuscale-uamps-kick-off-idaho-smr-nu... That would make it more…
I don't know enough about importing capacity in that other grid since they're hooked up to the western half supposedly but I agree with your points. TX being hooked up to the rest of the US could have saved them and…
Texas had blackouts due to extreme cold as recently as 2011. The findings from the investigation after that event were ignored and we are now seeing a repeat of it exactly 10 years later. It has not worked "just fine"…
The regional grid above TX is also instituting rolling blackouts due to this weather.
The latter. They do not want federal regulation. For the pedantic TX does have connections to other grids but the capacity is so low that it wouldn't have mitigated this event and is under whatever threshold is set for…
As a programmer in state government this approach is not feasible for many reasons the chief of which is that at almost every level of government we lack technocrats. In the very unlikely event that one is appointed or…
I failed my interview with Amazon and I blame them. They tried to rush me to an onsite after passing my online coding assessment. 4 different recruiters were in contact with me about the same position. Review materials…
I don't know which video you're referring to and a cursory search didn't turn it up. Perhaps you could link it?
Here is a very early(2007) and unintentionally humorous attempt to script in Perl with voice recognition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzJ0CytAsec
Algal oil is a potential substitute. There was a laundry detergent manufactured from algal oil instead of palm oil however there was pushback from consumers because the algae were genetically modified.…
Because it was a pointless blanket statement? Anecdote - One classmate went on to study phage therapy in Europe, another went to work for Intralytix a phage therapy biotech in the US, both PhDs. They were not laughed at…
Yesterday I signed up for Proton mail to start splitting off my data from Google. The announcement that they are now vacuuming up health data without patient consent is unacceptable. Had Google made this announcement at…
You do recall what happened the last time California opened up the electricity markets?
PG&E is a monopoly. In the vast majority of cases you can't shop around for electricity or gas service, the only alternative is to go without electricity and/or gas service. In the event that a competitor tries to enter…
You can, they're just not marketed to consumers. Search electronics retailers like B&H, Newegg, etc for "commercial displays" or "digital signage" and you'll see a lot of familiar looking units that don't have all the…
One big thing that's changed since you graduated is that the program is going to Python as its language of choice starting this fall. C will only be taught in one or two classes. IMO this is a mistake but one rationale…
ABET accreditation for Computer Science undergraduate degrees is utterly pointless and should not be used as criteria for selecting a CS undergraduate program. For example.…
If you have no data to back up your claim you should not make that claim. The word "many" is a borderline weasel word.
Pluto TV has a 24/7 This Old House streaming channel that I often find my way into as it makes for wonderful background entertainment while doing other things around the house. Always interesting DIY material, drama…
Pine Street Market in Portland is a lot like what you envision. In typically Portland fashion it is a little on the fancy side and priced somewhere between fast food and pub fare but still reasonable in my book. Food…
You're leaving out the cost of owning and powering a chest freezer which is not insignificant.
This may sound ridiculous but what I really want to try is an Almost Impossible burger. The flavor and texture of a regular Impossible burg was a bit off from a regular burger but still tasty and close to an all beef…
Coastal cities have other advantages too. Better weather, favorable access to trade, better access to travel. Software could arguably be made anywhere but that severely discounts the importance of face to face…
