Central timezone, actually. Perth is not part of the NEM, and pretty sure the plan for this is coming out of the Northern Territory

From a competitive point of view, yes. The conversion hardware is common in both cases, the difference is one side needs more storage than the other. As others have stated, with the propagation of EV voltage conversion equipment, that's essentially mass manufactured too now.

Edit: I'd also like to add that for something cheap and mass manufactured that we shouldn't concern ourselves with, we sure don't have a lot of it on a grid that already delivers some of the most expensive power in the world. ie one that should be able to afford it a lot more than others

Sure, but that how many is a critical factor in the overall cost of energy delivered

Yes, but will it wipe out the advantage of solar by adding cost to the generation capacity? As I said, batteries still aren't cheap, and their replacement lifetime is still not good. We could rely on future technology, but is that a sound investment plan?

If this project is viable, then it'll probably be more viable to have a massive solar farm coming from India, where the timezone shift is in the correct direction, and it would outcompete Australia.

I keep seeing stuff about the viability of the cable being laid. The thing that gets me though, is the timezone shift around peak solar generation is the wrong way around. In Australia at least, peak demand is in the evening, when people get home and turn on their ACs, or cooking devices etc. I don't know about the demand patterns in Singapore, but given their heavy use of AC, I imagine their demand for power does not peter off in the evening much.

Meanwhile the peak of solar generation around midday in Australia is being sent off to Singapore in the morning who are a couple hours behind us. Presumably the morning is when the least AC will be used there. By the evening in Singapore, it'll be night in Central Australia, meaning there will still have to be plenty of peaking generation or, will need a massive ton of batteries which has still not quite there for grid scaling.

We've already got Identify and Disrupt, what do they want next?

Note that he says estimate of human survival. It could well be lower. Also some people are going to have lower thresholds than others.

The premise is contingent that all mosquitoes are bad. Turns out there are non blood sucking mosquitos that are eaten by other things, as explained in the article. So basically: blood suckers, yes, other mosquitoes no.

These are starting to catch on, as someone else said Heat Exchanger, but that's a more general concept and this is the thing you'd actually want https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_recovery_ventilation

Would definitely be interested to hear how he got in this mental state. It's a matter of frustrating and predictable reality that people who are poor and non-influential easily end up in a suicidal spiral. The same cannot be easily said of CEOs, especially ones who work for the public good, particularly combined with reformative policy and a progressive attitude to the workforce. I can't help but think there is significance in his choice to commit suicide by means of the thing he managed.

I think you should have put (2015) in the title to give this even more context, because there's probably a lot of people thinking, oh this article is probably from after SARS-CoV-2 got out.

I'm going to guess Paul Graham, who wrote the tweet. One of the founders of YCombinator and HN (just in case people who read this don't know).

People still give a shit about this title thing?

I mean, yes. That's pretty much the case anywhere, I don't see how China is an exception. Especially anywhere where there's a lot of competition, employers will use any excuse to choose one person over another. Employers want simple indicators that don't use lots of time and effort to select graduates (most of the time). Then if credentials aren't enough, they're going to resort to interview processes that double as hazing rituals. The reality is that employers can't really effectively measure a persons objective capacity. They are dealing with people who are putting the instagram treatment to their professional image, and employers are made up of humans.

This goes to a deeper issue with human psychology and game theory. No one can afford to comprehensively assess other people, so they resort to all sorts of shortcuts to judge others. It's how bias and stereotyping occurs. This occurs everywhere, not just in education for employment. The very fact that people are judged by their wealth and social standing instead of other factors is the ultimate judgement shortcut, because getting to know everyone personally is a big time investment. So this isn't an isolated case of stuff that only happens in hiring, but to societies everywhere.

So in conclusion:

The scam is your actual education not the degree you receive.

If this were true, then being an autodidact would be a lot more prestigious than it actually is.

40 acres. 16 hectares. A 400m x 400m block (equivalent). Not sure that's really enough for a city. A very small town perhaps.

The big thing here, is that it's a way for Corporations to basically not be bound by all the laws of the state. That's, concerning. For all the reasons that have been covered numerous times in scifi dystopian media.

When you have the population density and city pollution levels they have in big Indian cities, I don't blame them for trying to discourage the use of petrol. Even if you don't believe in climate change, there's real haze over many of their cities which has well documented effects on respiratory health.

Opportunities for young people have been getting worse perhaps?

There are other things that are important aside from customer purchasing power.

If we read into this article as pushing an agenda, then the agenda is probably written here. https://blogs.imf.org/2019/02/05/cashing-in-how-to-make-nega...

My own thinking around this is quite simple. We want to keep secrets from people who are sufficiently close in our social circles so that the consequences of them knowing and spreading it to the people with the most obvious power over our lives.

The consequences of data collection don't relate to people within our social circles so it is much harder to be viscerally affected by it. Without that emotional drive, it's one of those things that gets pushed down the priority list in our lives.

Oh so basically somewhere between normal and type 2 diabeties

What is this impaired glucose metabolism you refer to? What are it's causes?

They'd probably respond "But what about that big f off dish transmitting brain control waves" completely oblivious to the fact it is receive only.

Interesting idea. I find that it's pretty hard to modify the end of a password though, I'm likely to press enter rather than add anything else. Probably a good idea to change the first character, so you have the rest of the password to remember that you're supposed to do that.

Because evolution doesn't work to produce good solutions, just good enough ones. For example, your body works out it is in a low oxygen environment by sensing an elevated amount of carbon dioxide, not measuring oxygen levels. As such, it feels painful when you hold your breath, but going into a room with only nitrogen won't make you feel anything, except maybe breathe faster.

Interesting point. I guess it's confirmation bias. Say something people want to believe about themselves, and the rest follows.

Interesting perspective, and one I imagine will have a lot of criticism. Honestly I find the perspective too interesting to start picking holes in it. I do wonder how many criticisms will come from idealised notions of intellectualism. Which is of course in direct conflict with the base assumption of this article, which is that what we believe is often tied to emotional needs.

So before we get comments about MtF having an advantage of male muscle or something, let's not forget that intersex and other hormonal conditions are permitted to compete in the Olympics as female too.

I don't know, all I know is their quit message includes some lee-side.pdf

Why did they fail to communicate anything? What a good way to destroy trust. I'm now observing one channel who previously supported lee, and am curious if the stance will change, now that they have to jump through hoops to get their channel reregistered. It's currently full of unopped idlers.

Can mining cards be used for something other than crypto mining? eg rendering? Could they still be used in VMs and then route virtual display outputs via network?
