- Comment on When both partners work from home: the hidden cost of always-on technology 1 week ago:
I’m sure there are some scenarios where this is bad, but like anything else the quality of the relationship is going to come down to the people in it. My wife and I had 2 years of simultaneously working from home and it was amazing.

Noklahoma?

Not sure why anyone would want more Oklahoma
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Yeah I’m always unclear on headlines. I’d rather de-clickbait them but some mods are very particular about only showing unedited headlines

- Comment on China’s Four-Year Energy Spree Has Eclipsed Entire US Power Grid 1 week ago:
They still have a shitton of thermal (e.g. burning hydrocarbons of some sort) baseload, but it’s really shocking to see how quickly renewable capacity has been added. Anyone want to do the capacity factor calculations on this to see where they really are?

Damn. Some people have all the luck.

I would pay good money to unlock fast charging mode.

Is that the beast with two backs?
- Comment on Will 24/7 trading have a similar kind of negative effect as the introduction of 24/7 news did? 2 weeks ago:
I think the token is just a 1:1 representation of a particular share on the chain, and they use the chain because it’s an immutable ledger.
- Comment on Solar is the new oil 2 weeks ago:
The thing is, unless governments really bring the hammer down on the installation of PV panels and batteries (and I live in FL – the sunshine state – where it can be very difficult to get permits and insurance for PV panels) or force you to buy a certain percentage of power from your utility (I could DEFINITELY see my state government try some BS like that), eventually many people will simply not need coal, gas or oil. As batteries become cheap enough, more people will install them, source more power directly from the sun, charge their cars with it, etc. It really is the endgame, the fossil execs are just trying to string us along for one more generation to squeeze every last dollar out of the market.

I think “integrity” in the finance market is actually extremely important. It’s not moral integrity though, it’s literal proof that a transaction happened, which is why they’re using blockchain tech (this is a thing it’s actually good at). But my thoughts revolve around whether this will make it easier or harder to detect manipulation, or some other unintended consequences.
- Comment on Solar is the new oil 2 weeks ago:
The “problem” with solar is that you can’t meter it. Nobody has yet found a way to sell you electricity from sunlight today and then sell it to you again tomorrow, which is what they’re accustomed to doing and believe is their right to do somehow. That’s why it’s so incredibly disruptive.
- Comment on 'What the f***': Modding arch-sorcerer casually invents Minecraft x Hytale crossplay, defies laws of god and man alike 2 weeks ago:
I doubt it. Hytale was built for modding and Minecraft has an extensive modding community with tons of netplay experience. This guy just wrote a translation layer between the two (not to diminish his efforts at all, it’s freaking awesome).

I’ve seen this post a dozen times and I still thought the lady was a muppet.
- Comment on AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow 2 weeks ago:
That’s what I’m saying tho. If the government is all-in on this, and basically the only reason the stock market is growing is because of AI related things, they will get a backstop or a bailout. At which point we’ll probably be forced to use it even more to justify that action.
- Comment on 996 isn't about productivity, it's about keeping workers' living expenses low 2 weeks ago:
From 9 in the morning till 9 at night, 6 days a week. 996
- Comment on 996 isn't about productivity, it's about keeping workers' living expenses low 2 weeks ago:
If you’re salaried there is effectively no limit on the hours you can be made to work (or else get fired). The job description just has to make clear that it would be impossible to get the workload done in a typical 40 hours. And even that is mostly optional.

It started in china, and douchebag valley tech bros are now breathlessly trying to make it a thing here so they can have their own little fiefdoms.
- Comment on Nuclear fusion would be a clean-energy game changer. How close is it to being a reality? 2 weeks ago:
Only 50 years away!
(Just like it was in the 1970s)
- Comment on AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage | Cory Doctorow 2 weeks ago:
I admire Cory’s perennial optimism, but the more billions the governments pump into this scheme, the less likely it’s going to be. “Too big to fail” and whatnot.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 3 weeks ago:
I’d rather see better discovery tools and better community/account migration tools. Id be worried about topic-specific instances potentially backfiring by concentrating too much influence for a given set of subjects on the “preferred” instances
- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 3 weeks ago:
There is at least graceful degradation:
When the battery dies, the glasses continue to function as a traditional pair of single-vision specs, ensuring the wearer is never left in the dark or have safety compromised such as when driving or operating machinery.
- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 3 weeks ago:
There’s nothing about a subscription in here, and there’s no need for an internet connection. Sensors just watch how your eyes are trying to focus and adjust the metal lens that’s sandwiched between the glass parts.
