  • Don't forget that if you do vote you're pro-genocide, which means I don't have to think listen to you. Also if voting changed anything they'd make it illegal. What, they're trying to? See, doesn't do anything. Wasted effort. General strike or bust. Discord counts as organizing right?

  • "the back" is a distribution center a couple towns over, because modern retail is a tightly integrated and logistics heavy industry. How don't you know this Carol? This has been the standard for like 40 years CAROL

  • TIL the cost of transporting energy around

    Jump

  • Those transmission losses don't have immediate health and environmental costs, though, and even discounting those there'll be conversion losses on both ends (e: for chemical energy carriers) if what we want to get out of it is usable electricity from renewables. Dont take my skepticism for poohpoohing btw, this kind of counterintuitive thinking is one of the more fascinating things about economics. Or maybe I just like to argue :P

    I'll look up the paper, this is an interesting topic.

  • Pipelines are cheap because we already build a lot of them. We already use them to move multiple products. It's a somewhat generic technology (which is very impressive, dont get me wrong).

    I'd be interested to learn how the capex breaks down for the HVDC lines. Is it labor? Procurement? Those can both be optimized with scale. Expand the qualified workforce and incentivize competition among suppliers. If it's raw material cost it might be a little harder. I imagine right of way costs are also quite a bit higher owing to the large footprint. But then once you acquire the RoW it stays there in perpetuity. Still, I bet my favorite hat that once you consider the externalities and conversion losses the transmission lines are a clear winner. The electrical grid really only causes fires when its neglected, whereas gas infrastructure leaks constantly.

  • HSPA+ is not 4G. It has a max theoretical throughput of 168Mbit. It was sold as 4G. Same with Wimax and earlier LTE implementations.

  • mistakes like selling the evolutionary upgrade of the previous generation as the revolutionary next generation? That kind of mistake?

    Never forget that the original 4G spec promised gigabit.

  • Yeah, never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. I just wish he'd make more mistakes faster and that midterms came sooner.

    Assuming there are midterms, which I hope to god there are. The alternative is very bloody, and while my teenaged self thought he was ready to die in a ditch for his ideals my thirtysomething self would like to have the joy of building a just society rather than the satisfaction of dying for the hope of one.
