Just about to post the same.My copy disappeared but I think it had great photos. There was a vengeful account of a tribe killing a boy left alone. He was trapped inside cliffs with no escape. Thesiger Said he respected Bedouin more than his Eton chums.


Informed consent disclosure to vaccine trial subjects of risk of COVID‐19 vaccines worsening clinical disease https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7645850/

It seems that the new data invalidates that conclusion?


What about the Neanderthal race?


Well he’s saying Site is being demonetized. It’s posting this interesting comment in the articles(that seems to contradict some of the posts on this thread):

Both NOAA and NASA appear to agree, if you read between the lines, with NOAA saying we’re entering a ‘full-blown’ Grand Solar Minimum in the late-2020s, and NASA seeing this upcoming solar cycle (25) as “the weakest of the past 200 years”, with the agency correlating previous solar shutdowns to prolonged periods of global cooling here.


-A decision was made to do nothing based on ambiguity in perception, and the emergency braking was turned off because it got too many false alarms from the sensor”

So instead of solving this problem it was decided to go forward;abominable. At least the truth came out.


These would have been the 1st battery tests by the car company, surely? Child chasing ball is obviously important scenario. Lidar/sw didnt recognize human/bike combo? But blob was moving & system failed to see or avoid moving blob.That makes me think there should also be a pretrip system check like airlines.


Yeah, well, whatever. "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs," to quote another comment from this discussion. /s

Apparently killing bystanders is now okay, if there's a software component to the massacre.


Elaine Herzberg probably casually jaywalked previously but human driver slowed.this time she got surprised by robot killer that violated asimovs 1st law. Safe av's are coming but why so impatient?


The first myth of management is that it exists.

That list is funny.

My preferred line is the first one: "Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence". It applies to so many behaviors in various fields.

Then there is one I am not sure I agree with, it really depends on what "level of management" means: "The degree of technical competence is inversely proportional to the level of management". In my experience, technically-challenged engineers, but who somehow end up with management/supervision roles, also s.ck at that too, big time, so much that you'd wish there was a universal law against it.


Can quantcom be used to compute genesis blockchain?


In the USA heating, HVAC, etc.. account for half of the energy used in residential buildings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy Direct solar water heating (passive) has been used for quite a while and has a maximum efficiency of solar thermal systems are between .46 & .74. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

That compares to a solar panel efficiency of .15; and I guess a lot less when applied to water heating due to conversion. And implementing in dense urban areas, passive is not as viable as active. If we were serious we would first implement passive systems. But we don't. I guess there’s something I don’t understand.


Why would you expect physics to dominate economics?

For investors, a big power station like this is a purely economic decision (will it be profitable or not).

For a homeowner, a few dollars a month for hot water is not a significant motivator to make a change (replacing a thing that works to save money after several years is not exciting).

It would probably be a good idea to figure out how to incentivize rental property owners to increase building efficiency. Or maybe just pay for it directly in exchange for a few years of not capturing the benefit in the rent.
