Literally a couple decades like 20 years? I just don't think that could be true, at least not where I live. Looking at the listings in a broad radius around me, there is still a lot of housing built in the 1960s and 1970s being bought

Oh this is the oldest trick in the book. If you need to greenwash, then just burn the coal somewhere else. Easy. Los Angeles has been doing this for decades - for years the largest single energy source for LAPW has been an 1800MW coal burni

In principle, if you got everyone to agree to it (and this would be a big if), this would probably be an interesting enough ticket that it might just win. Maybe. In practice, Romney is 77 years old and is ready to retire - and think how oft

Your example is a poor one, and does not represent the actual risk of money market funds. Customer assets at brokerage are required to be held by a 3rd party custodian. Customer assets are not held at the brokerage itself and cannot be tou

Seems like these job scheduling systems are a dime a dozen these days. Since we're an AWS shop, eventually my team ended up just building a system based on EventBridge and Fargate, killing off a previous system built on top of Quartz.

As someone that is currently in the market for a new car, I would love to get an EV, but I also don't have a good way to charge. Seems like most EV owners just charge at their house, but what about people that don't have access t

Just trying to understand, what do you mean by a "Mexican US Citizen"? When I read this originally, I was a bit confused why the child would not have been a US citizen as well by merit of being born to a US Citizen...but I think y

Many states (by now) have already passed legislation to the effect that if/when the federal government allows it, they will simply stay on DST year-around. There are a number of bills on a federal level that would allow states to do th

I don't have an opinion either way on your position here, other than a fact check. Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) is a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft. Before that, he worked at Dropbox.

Well, there are some nuances you're skating over here. Remember that GMAC Bank (the direct banking company) and GMAC ResCap (the mortgage/real-estate company) were two different entities owned by the industrial loan company GMAC.

Yeah, I remember that. I never do a separate home partition though, so I ended up with the entire disk in Btrfs. I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have when setting up partitions during installation, and didn't totally

by therealrootuser 6y ago
Agreed, Btrfs has been out for quite a while. I think it is only now beginning to become more widely accepted or noticed by the broader community, which is both a blessing and curse. That said, I'm going to continue to opt for Ext4 or

Many have rightly brought up the issue of energy storage for solar. Could hydrogen fuel cells provide an answer here? I believe there is some fairly recent research describing efforts to use solar energy directly to produce hydrogen (as opp
