Is it fast enough to stop a huge economic and biological burden hitting our children? It’s sad how short sighted the majority of people in the US is today. Small sacrifices could lead to hugely greater quality of life for everyone’s grand children but everyone is special and deserve everything they desire right now.

Letting states choose how they hit their CO2 allotment is totally fine as long as there is a universal per capita CO2 goal for the whole country. If there is no cap then self serving states will simply emit as much as is maximally profitable

> One battery to explode and can easily do 100 casualties

That’s definitely not true. A 66KWh battery is not a tactical nuke

Gives me very low confidence that these people understand society at all. And they’re supposed to be the gatekeepers? According to… themselves I’m guessing?

Ah yes a pompous letter where we list all of our impressive formal accomplishments will surely get these rubes to take their hands off of our toys

Why is FTX more connected to Wall Street than coinbase? Only one of them is public

Funny I remember warning people on various reddits many months ago that there is no risk free 10-20% investment and asking where is this yield originating from. Let’s just say people weren’t very receptive. Greed is a hell of a drug

Even in games composition is much better and what pretty much every engine forces you to use these days. It’s a lot more flexible too as you can compose a new boss out of ten different components rather than having to refactor a crazy tree of nonsense

I disagree. Teaching people to think about abstractions wrong is not in any way helpful. Everyone I know including myself had to spend years writing bad code before realizing that this way of thinking is counterproductive. It reminds me of this quote from Kung Pow

Don’t worry about Wimp Lo, he’s an idiot. We’ve purposefully taught him wrong… as a joke.

Composition is an infinitely better method to teach if you have to teach OOP. That way you don’t need to unlearn what you thought was the right way but is actually useless at modeling almost anything.

It’s a terrible anxiety medicine as probably the most common side effect is anxiety.

I believe it metabolizes differently. Even as an daily smoker/vaper at one point who never ate edibles, 10mg would get me very high.

I’m sorry but why don’t you just put less weed in if it’s too strong?

I wonder how this naming scheme continues and why are they skipping over half the numbers given that this set will soon run to 0. 7nm - 5nm - 3nm - 1nm. What’s next?

They were marketing hard at one of the coworking spaces I was at which was full of tiny companies that didn’t make Much revenue . Couldn’t they figure out the math doesn’t work out prior to doing all this work and then backtracking ?

I’m guessing they were just chasing vanity metrics for a funding round

But then you presumably need to build these extra power plants that can use that fuel?
