Actually I think that's exactly the concern - that people won't be allowed to keep their carbon-fuel heating systems, even as a backup.
Don’t worry! You would replace that with a new white knuckle anxiety that misconfiguring your infra deployment would exhaust your four figure cost limit, causing AWS to helpfully shutdown ALL of your infra to avoid any…
Ah, the good old days!
I’m all for websites collecting less personal information. But I wish they wouldn’t base it in child status. Now all I read is “websites must collect a ton of personal information about you and send it to the government…
I wonder if charges can be configured to wait for a given time to begin charging. That way you could plug in your car whenever you want, but still get the benefit of waiting.
Not necessarily - reducing the workforce and closing stores may well be a healthy consolidation. Taking on debt may perform the same function on the balance sheet. You should worry if they take on debt to expand stores…
This is likely simply due to the fact that more homes have AC now: ... "By 1980 that number had risen to 63%, and in the 40 years since then air conditioning has grown exponentially and is now present in a whopping 95%…
The issues with these articles is that they focus on money, and the price of energy, which leads people to believe either consciously or not that something can be helped with money. It can't. There is a fundamental…
Instead of what? Making the switch will require tremendous effort that must come from something else, which Germany will necessarily lose (not produce). Likely this would be distributed through the economy so that there…
"I will do everything that's in my power" Will you pay money for the content you consume?
I personally like it when the text is presented as a gif. Especially a gif of cursive scrawl, containing a long URL.
The problem with the word “costs” is that it’s too easy to conflate this with money, and just think it means spending more of an abstract and essentially unlimited resource (money). The reality is that it means we will…
Thanks for the level head and second-order thinking. Still outrageous - but beware the knee-jerk reaction as you said.
I don’t know, I think there are a lot of people that might not want to be owners anymore, but they just can’t bring GM themselves to sell and pay the taxes. Especially if they are, say, 60 and in dubious health anyway.…
It provides a large artificial financial incentive to hold onto a property that you otherwise would sell. I also think it's not right to create this kind of arbitrary, large tax break that only applies in specific…
Really the only problem here is the step-up cost-basis at death that you mention. This is indeed a big problem, and the fix is simple: Your heirs inherit your cost-basis as well (likely $0), so that when/if they sell it…
Like gigawatts? Probably expressed as an expected average, rather than peak (or both).
I think there is very little meat on the bone here. Possible? Sure! Certain? Hardly. Of course we’re going to start turning up chemicals in our bodies that weren’t there before we started using them. And the increased…
Gizmodo can say what they want about Epson, but right now the thing I am most irritated by is the adware on that page. I would buy an Epson printer if it would remove Gizmodo's ads.
And I didn’t advocate either way of doing it in any case. I just offered an alternate that may or may not be better.
This is a form of rationing in the face of reduced supply. Another option would be allow electricity prices to rise and people to make their own choices about how to respond to that.
I still do not understand how any human-developed carbon capture techniques is going to be better or more efficient than just planting a tree. A (living, growing) tree can capture quite a lot of carbon for almost no…
Did they give you your money promptly? How?
"Today I decided I would try to change Google." The best part for me is "try to" rather than the much more common and nonsensical "try and" that I see all the time. I think I would pay for a Chrome extension to…
Yes - for clarification I'm talking about using a stove-top whirly-pop style pop-corn-popper. I can do about 250g at a time.
