When the government proscribes discretionary permitting to those items you mentioned corruption and scarcity follow. It is exorbitantly expensive and difficult to build a house, a powerplant, or a mine in this country.…
Cooling demand is only fractional with respect to the load: cooling 1MW of heat will only cost a few 10's to low 100's of kW, depending on the specifics. 10-20% overhead on cooling is probably a close enough estimate…
>This idea that Americans are genetically pre-ordained to be fat seems like fanciful thinking. The idea that it being genetic or not should matter is odd? Who cares why people are fat? They inarguably are fat and will…
Nonsense, one not just as easily say they are overweight because they aren't taking enough GLP-1 agonists. A patient with scurvy is proscribed vitamin C - they might even need to take it for the rest of their lives to…
For those of us at home who need to decide which team to root for its very much relevant when and what bills a party sponsors.
You as an individual? Probably not, but you could lobby your local government to, for instance, require any such dataset taken from information in the public be subject to the freedom of information act.
Pretty much. The discretionary nature of permitting, and other add-ons like CEQA, pose an enormous, and worse, unpredictable, burden on attempting to start a business in many places. It'd be one thing if the…
The point that it is a reasonable comparison: being able to reasonably compare the performance of a lump of silicon to a human being at a complex task in the real world means the Overton window has shifted, massively,…
What 3 year old is judging the depth of a puddle before jumping in? Regardless, consider what you are saying: how can you seriously compare a computer to a (young) human and your response is disappointment that the AI…
Replace agent with 'direct report' and you've just described middle management. For better or worse, companies have always run on non deterministic tasks doled out by persons who barely understand the work.
>any vulnerability in any software available for inspection is going to be instant public knowledge. Or at least public among anybody who matters. Shouldn't this naturally lead to a state where all (new) code is…
>Some level of permitting reform is warranted but I would think hard about whether you want to adopt China's policies. Given the current geopolitical trajectories we are going to be adopting their policies one way or…
And the meaning of the truism you so adoitly picked up on is that at reasonable projections trimet and similar public transit will be uncompetitive in price (and service) relative to self driving EVs. Ergo it is correct…
Assuming an average fare of 2.47$ per to make the math even, that's 6.00$/ride total cost. When a company / government gets the cost per mile to run a fleet of autonomous EV's down to ~60cents/mile or so, which is a…
How many tax dollars go into subsidizing a public transit ride? Varies from place to place but it's not insignificant.
Because the regulations, set by those with vested interest in real estate, make it difficult to build more housing. Otherwise anyone with any sense would undercut the existing housing stock and turn a 100k investment in…
Ianal, usual disclaimers, etc. The design files don't qualify for copyright protections, they describe the design which (maybe) qualifies for copyright protections.[0] The artistic design of a specific keyboard can…
Humans. Humans repeatedly violate traffic laws. Humans behind the wheel are killing 10's of thousands every year. Yet we keep giving these drugged up meatbags licenses.
Declaring "my position is a fact" doesn't make it so. Wanting something to be doesn't make it so either. Channel your indignation and anger into a more productive avenue, there's hardly a shortage of actual war crimes…
In what world is sinking a warship in international waters a war crime? Because it isn't in this one.
Future? I'm thinking a Borat style mockumentary in the present.
Someone should dig up the corpse of project Loon to deploy networking balloons over warzonez. Would be perfect for psyops/intel gathering.
I don't see the contradiction. Something can be both very important and not that difficult to learn and not known by a plurality of interviewees. People ask (and fail) fizz-buzz and that's hardly difficult.
Surprisingly often you do get an interviewee who just won't accept the premise of the hypothetical. I've had people get hung up on the equivalent of 'but I'd just use excel' even with prompting/nudging/explanation that…
You need to recalibrate your sense of scale if you think that this is a geologically relevant usage of energy.
