I'm still trying to figure out why everyone, including Deutsche Bank, seems to think the Tesla Battery is such a great deal at $3500 for 7kwh. I can buy 18 35Ah 12v AGM batteries, plus 0 AGW conductors, for about $1350.…
Agreed that deflation is terrible. I hate paying lower prices for goods and services. Thankfully we have central banks to fight the scourge of lower prices.
Could someone explain the market reaction here? When rates are lowered, it puts both competitve pressure and supply pressure on the currency. This can be seen in all historical interest rate cuts. You cut rates to…
You are probably being downvoted because every single Abrahamic religion advocates violence and killing as a response to blasphemy in the basic holy texts. It's an issue of facts, not offense.
So basically, they are better on every possible front, and the technology has existed for a while? Yet, LWR is still the dominant design. So, what's the catch? There's clearly something preferable about Uranium LWR that…
Yes. A debt crisis that the US is walking into almost exactly alike, but a decade behind. And nobody cares.
How adorable.
This isn't music, or anything like it. The article touches on the Millenials' refusal to learn anything below their chosen layer of abstraction to be a systemic risk to anything they build. It's more akin to every…
Maybe I have a lack of imagination, but what on earth could possibly be the failure modes of floor tile?
Because the brainwashing of Western education is that the values of the Enlightenment are the only acceptable values.
Excellent programmers are only paid well if they have a good internal idea of their value and are able to negotiate. I've known countless great developers with terrible self-esteem and/or total inability to effectively…
Addendum to #3: Motivation is necessary but not sufficient in software development; it is one of the professions that really does have minimum cognitive capability and working memory requirements, which current research…
I may be persuaded that the individual tasked with signing and updating the canary got drunk over the Holidays and forgot. Nobody is going to convince me that same individual went on a twenty day bender and sobered up…
Not without cause. The recent UVA scandal, the semi-recent duke lacrosse scandal, and the unconscionable number of rape convicts being exonerated and released on account of dna evidence being tested with modern methods…
Just do vnode-based consistent hashing on the client side.
was perceived widely in the West Because of our propaganda. We heard all kinds of things about Russian military mobilization, conspiracy theories about who shot down the airliner, how much Putin hates gays, how horrible…
Most wells don't run at full capacity, and absolutely alter draw speeds to maximize the life and economics of a well. This is correct, but only to a point. Many producers still lease land for limited timeframes (some of…
Sabotage? How, exactly? I have heard of no major corruption or performance bugs in ZFS, what am I missing?
Unclear from their site what MagicLeap even does.
In both of the stories you cite, it's a case of journalists beginning with a narrative and then seeking a story to corroborate that narrative. Whether it's feel-bad narratives like "rape culture is rampant in…
Unless and until our recent era of mass global travel results in a highly genetically uniform species, we will continue to have population groups that share allele groupings differently than other population groups…
Unable to reply to your other flagkilled comment, so I'll reply here. It's amusing that bringing up facts in a community ostensibly self-selected to prize discovery and reason is sufficient cause to be silenced. pg and…
Physical attractiveness is not "completely subjective". There are very well established body proportions, symmetries, and other physical indicators of human attractiveness that are consistent across cultures and…
Not sure about idyllic, but iD software started in a lakehouse in the middle of nowhere a distance out from Shreveport, LA. You don't need ready access to endless city noise, light pollution, or urban gang violence to…
You're probably not up to speed with the cultural expectations of the ceremony itself in the modern U.S. In terms of social signaling, an elaborate, extravagant ceremony, preceded by presentation of an outrageously…
