  1. Is it a production car if they have made one and have sold zero?
  2. It's not the high income countries choice.

    If you reduce your consumption the cost of oil will fall towards the cost of production and middle/low income countries would consume it.

    The only way someone in a high income country can prevent this is to buy oil and permanently bury it.

  3. If you truly believe that then the options for what happens are universally bad.
  4. The simple reality is that humanity is unable to reduce greenhouse gas emissions without an alternative that is superior.

    For every ton of CO2 that the west has reduced in the past decade China has produced three tons of CO2.[1]

    We need another breakthrough on the scale of the Haber process.

  5. The "feels like" temperature weather reports use is an approximation of wet bulb.
  6. Have they not heard of wet bulb temperature?

    The chart in this wiki article is really good at showing the various effects.

  7. I'm gonna say his analysis of the groups is just wild guessing.

    > Mostly married with low credit limits and high utilization rates. These customers may benefit from tools and programs to manage their credit usage.

    > Mostly single women with low c redit limits and high utilization rates. Offering credit management tools and financial literacy programs could be valuable for this group.

  8. Wide scale fraud isn't necessary when elections are decided by 10k votes.
  9. I believe the high cache skus were Mac exclusive.
  10. >the dissection triggered a hunger response in people

    this is supposedly from the formaldehyde

  11. How does this article not mention anywhere that she had brain cancer?

    That's almost certainly the answer to the headline.

  12. Two thirds of the title is true.

    That's pretty good.

  13. Most of the things you think of as static video files (say youtube) are actually video segments operating more or less exactly the way live streams work.
  14. > As an aside, video decoding is offloaded onto hardware, so it's not as battery intensive as it used to be.

    This is technically but not usefully true with most videos on the web today.

    The video decode itself is accelerated, but each frame passes through JavaScript to be composited.

    The only time video is fully hardware decoded is when it's a simple video element to a static video file.

  15. I think this guy misses something pretty significant.

    Many Americans have professional business relationships with people whom they vehemently oppose politically.

    Politics is simply bad for business.

  16. How would anybody else know?
  17. Reducing production is simply impossible.

    There's billions of people on earth who are desperately poor compared to even the poorest American.

    There is absolutely no chance those people just accept their position as ultra poor.

    If individuals want to reduce their CO2 output the only viable strategy is to buy and permanently store fossil fuels.

  18. Simple math unfortunately.

    To offset global human CO2 production you'd need to biochar all plant matter several times a year.

  19. It's much more effective at extremely high frequencies used in compact radars, like the kind used on fighter jets.

  20. The YouTube video acknowledges the over engineering in the title.
  21. > The grid has become so expensive due to the cost of fire proofing infrastructure

    Power in California was incredibly expensive long before any of the money was going towards fire proofing.

  22. Pretty much all of the FOSS AOSP alternatives leave it to the user.
  23. I haven't gotten a paper cut in years.

    So much less paper in the world.

  24. Who cares?

    The panels themselves are basically free.

    The mounting system and the inverter are the expensive part.

  25. It's the only thing you really need money for.

    If you don't pay your taxes in your nations currency you go to prison.

  26. The more solar/wind on the grid the harder it is for gas peaker plants to respond to the instantaneous shifts in supply.

    I won't what the cost of power from a solar+battery facility is that had enough batteries for seasonal variations.

  27. Why?

    Modern games all have 10GiB+ updated constantly that you're not disassembling.

    What's the difference?

  28. This is still playing defense.

    Anti-cheat needs to be more or less a kernel level remote code executor.

  29. Yeah if this doesn't come with a substantial endowment it's not a donation.
