Straw manning? One of the earliest critiques of central planning was its inability to learn and respond to unforeseen complexity in the real world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_calculation_problem
Funny to see “rationing” used to describe bidding, instead of the clear rationing approach used first: each food bank got an allocation of all foods based on population served. Just because the new approach accomplished…
Two emails are in your inbox. :)

This is fun to see. Some of my family are Division 10 contractors: their GCs love them because they spot design coordination and code issues early and keep the project from getting derailed. Bringing that to the entire…
I typically see “bodged” used more like “hacked”: fixed/made to work in a clumsy way, jury-rigged. So I’d botch my attempt to build a shelf by cutting a board too short; I’d then bodge it into shape by screwing on a…
Berkshire East is working on a micro pumped storage facility. Interestingly enough they’re already net producers of electricity. https://berkshireeast.com/the-resort/100-renewable-energy
What does the iPhone 8 have to do with this discussion? The linked piece specifically refers to iPhone 6S and iOS 15.8.
Some smoothly disingenuous rhetoric going on there. WRT FaceTime - turns out video calling had patent encumbrances. Apple was sued for massive amounts as soon as they rolled out FaceTime on their own devices. The…

For anyone interested in ending CAF abuses: Institute for Justice has been doing strong work for years. They help victims of CAF recover seized assets while setting judicial precedents that rein in LE abuses of the…
> The people in power have F-35s. What is your collection of (admittedly, unnecessarily powerful) guns going to do against that? Military inventory, while powerful, isn't the end-all. Just ask Afghans about their…
Left unexamined: how long ago and why did employers decide that a 4-year degree was the minimum qualification for general employment? And why should someone without a degree be excluded from socio-economic advancement,…
Saw plenty of leaf blower usage in Frankfurt, FWIW. So maybe some areas/cultures are just more fastidious about leaves than others?
One whole section of the keynote was dedicated to how HomeKit is being subsumed by Matter, a standard all of the major home automation companies are collaborating on.
Similar experience here. If I'm ever on trial, I'd be happy for the people I sat with to be my jury.
A 20% reduction would result in ~£800k/yr.
Even more effective: drain water heat recovery, preheating the incoming water with the outgoing waste heat. Quick overview from one manufacturer here: https://renewability.com

It's hard for 'the market' to solve political problems.
The argument of the YIMBY/"fix zoning" team is that our current regulatory environment restricts what the market is allowed to provide. Based on what I've witnessed in my NEC metro neighborhood, this is correct:…
