In the US RWD manual cars have been exclusively sport/GT for decades. They aren't cheap and a hybrid swap and/or daily driving miles would destroy their value.

It's just trying to visualize bang for buck. Not science, much less pseudoscience.

EA ended up getting coopted by people who weren't interested in altruism at all but that doesn't seem like this.

Yeah man if a barbarian fells a tree in the forest but nobody is around to hear it, is it still barbaric?

That's about the US West. It might as well be a different country, with respect to water. East of, say, Omaha, the concern is more getting rid of water than collecting it.

Low power and high power electronics don't actually have a lot in common other than the broad types of engineers you need to be educating.

China has industrial policy. The country and companies are able to invest in BEV technology knowing that everyone agrees on the direction.

I think there is a misconception that FAANG type coding interviews are trying to find stars. They aren't, otherwise they would not cap the difficulty and have a bank of approved questions which can be crammed via leetcode.

They are testing for diligence just like exams in Confucian based systems.

Definitely not true. Otherwise we would have really fast C++ compilers and no one would ever have implemented hacks like precompiled headers.

Founding editor of this magazine works for Mercatus Center which is a F.A. Hayek fan club. You know, the Pinochet guy.

You already know what the conclusion is going to be, the interesting part is how the author gets there.

Nothing, really. You can't build a company on a hack.

I didn't even think the link to greenhouse gases is denied any more.

The merchants of doubt ran out the clock and what I hear from the former deniers I know is that it is too expensive and too late to do anything now, being warmer will be nicer, and CO2 is a fertilizer.

Gauss supposedly did it when he was 7. The hardest part for the compiler is figuring out that you have a loop that computes that sum and does nothing else important.

No, these types of accommodations don't really exist any more. That's kind of the point of the article -- they were becoming extinct 30 years ago.

If structured the right way, agricultural land has numerous tax benefits that can range based on jurisdiction from carve-outs on inheritance taxes all the way down to property tax exemptions on what could not even be considered a hobby farm (very large exurban lots)

I've got a ton of mason bee tubes. They are awesome.

To use a silicon valley analogy, nobody has figured out how to scale out mason bees. Not to the > 200sq miles of pomegranates, pistachios, and almonds owned by the Resnicks. The Resnicks funded some in-house research and apparently considred it a failure.

It's probably possible. Might not even be hard once you know the trick, but it's certainly not a slam-dunk.
