Companies don’t want to pay for in house architecture/etc and developers are generally ultra hostile towards ops people.

I've found that setting my iphone to black and white completely broke my desire to use my phone. I would really recommend it as the first step for anyone who wants to limit the amount of time they spend on their device.

Can they build bigger cooling ponds? The South Texas Nuclear Generating Station is on the Colorado river in an area where ambient temps are 90-100F daily year around but it has an absolutely massive cooling pond.

Outside of Australia (where they do indeed mine Lithium ore) most lithium comes from brine water solutions.

It’s too hot for them in most of the agricultural centers in the USA. Plenty of goats though.

Many call centers do not allow the workers to disconnect the call without going through some sort of formal procedure, so this could be exploited until that policy changes.

Once the plane is in the air? Fantastic! It’s when the plane is on the ground and the main power and filtration is off is where the danger is. On my last few flights I’ve brought a high quality co2 meter and it consistently hit 3000-5000P

I live in Houston with a 3500 sqft house and 8 tons which pulls about 6-8kw at peak load.

Texas had grid problems because of the natural gas demand was off the charts, along with peaker plants being offline, renewables being offline, and a perfect storm of other issues during an unusually cold spell . I assure you it wasn’t fro

That’s nonsense and mostly a big oil talking point. In the south every single home has at least one large A/C unit, most of which draw the amount or more as an electric car being charged and yet the grid doesn’t fall over when it’s noo

Do they have a copy of the source or any ability to reproduce your work? If not, just take your ball and go home.

Wasn't that the reason the iphone was only released on AT&T at first? The "smart phones" before iphones were riddled with adware and other carrier installed garbage.

OpenPilot doesn’t have a data labeling team. I think you should do some more research before doing a drive by comment on something you know nothing about.

by shiftpgdn 4y ago
That’s a misleading headline. Tesla let go of their labeling team because they weren’t needed anymore.

I have 14 ft ceilings in most of my house. It’s great other than the heating and cooling bill.

Fun fact: Txdot, who spends 97% of their entire massive budget on expanding freeways, is responsible for .5% of all global carbon emissions.

The lentils were meant to be a meat replacement cooked the same way as ground beef.

I am one of the people affected by the daily harvest lentils. I did not need major surgery but ate them after Daily Harvest sent an email saying they were perfectly safe and to make sure they reached 165F. Daily Havrest has offered me a $10

There is extreme vendor lockin with services like Deno. I'm sure that it'll be much more expensive in the future.

Is it just one rack? Just get an enclosed rack and have your companies marketing people get a vinyl overlay printed for the front (ala the current Cray Supercomputers.)

Do you drive like a maniac? Even here in Texas where you need to run the a/c full bore most tesla drivers see 250-300wh/mi.

It should not surprise me that the Washington Post, the paper that ran 2-3 hit pieces per day against Musk after he announced his intent to acquire twitter is now running a hit piece against Tesla with a misleading title.

My point was that denying mixed use is what creates the American suburbanization mess. Most cities have limits on delivery hours anyway, making the parent comments concern moot.

Denying mixed use because it might be noisy for hypothetical residents is how we wound up with the current disaster that is American urban/suburban planning

The wind farm operator wants an 11% annual return guaranteed to them by the states electrical operator. If the wind doesn’t blow then not only does the state have to buy external energy but they have to pay for wind turbines that aren’t spi
