Masonry can be basically on any type of housing right?. Here in the Neherlands the inside is often concrete with lits if thernal mass, also in floors/ceilings, which are often big fat slabs of concrete.

I think wood, stone, concrete and glass are all not great insulators, so that should be found in thickness, layering with different materials and airtightness (assumjng mechanical ventillation preferably with heat exhange). You can do that

This is the important part in my opiniom! And it's why Europe is warming up again to wood based construction (cross laminated timber from sustanaible forests). All the other differences (ie isolation) can be achieved (or messed up) wit

Many will see there are differences, there will be some puzzledness involved by part of those but I think there's little % left that then jump to conclusions about stupidity and greed.

You're saying it like rhe chiming in is bad or at least tiring. But that's how we come to insightful discussions like this one. Plus there IS a difderenc which does make articles like this at least different to interpret for the n

We're living in an airtight, concrete, triple glazed house in europe with mechanical ventilation with heat exchange, plus heat pump on a ground source for heating amd (moderate) cooling. It's amazing, temperature is great 24/

Very relevant nitpicking! Also makes vaccination more tricky as it should ideally cover all strains to prevent the same effect.

I thought that the hemorrhaging wasn't necessarily related to a strain, but _is_ a possible heavier outcome regardless of the order you get them in?

Sure, one thing (it being OK to drop an already open source project) doesn't exclude the other (suggesting a fork if there happen to be any).

To maintain something you will need a match between what type of person is needed and what type of person is available. To start something, any type (well, very simply put) of person will do, often the need emerges from what they initiate.

Yes our lives are limited so we can not do it all. And comming to peace with that is a process that is different for everyone. Every choice rules out others, hence the paradox of it. Your own struggle with learning new things does have some

Here that would take care of your health insurance for 2+ years (basically covering your health care for that time regardless of any misfortune that comes your way), or more than half a year of (University) tuition. In US? Probably not so m

It's an improvement in what it does now, but I think the point is it is not necessarily bringing the end goal closer. Like a side track that runs dead at some point. No matter how much faster horses may have had become by selective b

Clarification as I totally misunderstood your comment (possibly due to not knowing the relevance of the term basin here): The BBC article covering this article describes this as being caused by deforrestation / dying trees. Part of the

I think you and parent came up with a possibly better example than the one in the article quoted by the grandparent comment, more so than it being a clarification of how single DNA mutations ripple out to be big problems.

It's a bit more nuanced isn't it (or am I mistaken)? All you see in the ledgers is the (hopefully single use) addresses the money is sent to, plus all addresses that come after it. There's not much in the system itself that l

Is there some merit in comparing this to regulating concert prices? There too one might argue to let the market determine the price, but there too that might lead to a very unequal situation for many, that may eventually backfire.

This is a bit of a two wrongs don't make a right: the fact that your energy retailer is taxing you doesn't (by itself) make it 'right' to use that energy for mining. Ofcourse I totally understand you do as you do, on an

It seems it is, I'm Dutch and also don't recognise this at all (but not married yet, so who knows). It does remind me, again, how many HN and Reddit discussions so often are by default seem US-centric, until stated otherwise. I am

I'm sorry but that doesn't make sense to me at all. Is that based on anything more than intuition because if not I'd like to say that mine sides with op. I'll add some numbers too. If a dishwasher has a lifetime of 20 ye

That this is 'M1' is relevant for me personally, as my current Mac is dead old, I 'need' a Mac for iOS development, the Intel ones are a dead end and seem to run hot often, and it is unclear if all my dev needs will be m

The chips you describe, are they responding to brain activity, or are they connected to something outside it, and if so, is that remnant muscle tissue or remnant (peripheral) neural tissue? And if so, do you agree that if that's missin

So then you're back to square one right? Where (apparently) the preference was given to DST (with its downsides), above sub-optimal schedules. (Edit: Combining both your replies I think that may actually be your point)

I somehow never considered you can just test the soil for nutritions, which is utterly stupid as I do just that with my freshwater aquarium.

> Most crops are grown with this thing called "rain" Do you mean 'most of the volume' or 'most of the crop types'? In case of the first I wonder where that's based on? Perhaps you even have a source? I

I've been using Mendix for a while now (for a client), which is more low-code than no-code. I enjoy it quite a bit. It's very easy to add a new entity (table) and some screens for CRUD stuff. Even without code you can customise qu

Funny thing I: I added some AI to my CS curriculum in Uni. They said back then: "20 years ago, they made a lot of AI predictions, but they obviously did not happen, but 20 years from _now_ : oh boy". That was 20 years ago, and wel

I don't get it, Trumps name is only mentioned twice, and both times it concerns facts to place Manafort in the bigger picture.

Opening a company of your own solves all your problems and brings back others, only you can decide which you value more. An in-between route would be to go freelance, which in my area (Amsterdam) and our field (software dev) seems just as &
