  • Switching California from gas to electricity, one neighborhood at a time | Clean-energy advocates hope a bill awaiting Governor Newsom’s signature will jump-start projects that shut down gas pipelines

    Jump

  • Let's not forget how will only buy electricity back at a variable yet, sell it at a static rate and keep the profit.

    Also up charging a tax on selling electricity back into the grid for "use of their equipment", which understandable i get but again c'mon.

    The realistic progress needing to be done here is a battery storage solution as power needed during intense solar days is effectively 0% in California nowadays. We need to store that energy and use it during night but then it eats into PG&Es profits and we can't have that can we?

    Everything done under the guise of "progress" is helping a corporation somewhere.

  • How to save data for archive purposes?

    Jump

  • This is interesting, haven't heard of it. I think the problem with the disc format is you aren't getting 28 TB of content on there unless you span multiple discs which is a pain in the ass

  • How to save data for archive purposes?

    Jump

  • nobody out there has come up with a good way to permanently archive all that stuff

    Personally I can't wait for these glass hard drives being researched to come at the consumer or even corporate level. Yes they're only writable one time and read only after that, but I absolutely love the concept of being able to write my entire Plex server to a glass harddrive, plug it in and never have to sorry about it again.

  • What are we doing for TVs these days software wise?

    Jump

  • Nvidia shield is an option you should check out.

  • Climate at the Debate: Trump Ignored the Question and Harris Hedged

    Jump

  • Just another reason our election shouldn't be entirely dependent on 10,000 people in Pennsylvania.

  • EV sales have not fallen, cooled, slowed or slumped. Stop lying in headlines.

    Jump

  • If you want to create an argument against Tesla this is not the way to do it, they are by far THE SAFEST car on the market despite their full autopilot failure.

  • The Failed Migration of Academic Twitter

    Jump

  • As much as people around these parts despise algorithmic feeds, I suspect an algorithmic feed would've worked far better in this situation to feed all academic based content to someone immediately on account creation if they show interest/ follow peers in the field.

    This would've helped the migration since they most likely don't know the accounts of the Twitter accounts posting academic content as that was algorithmically fed as well. I'm really doubtful it's a problem with decentralization, seems to me mastodon had a problem with both not having a critical mass and the content that was there wasn't easy enough to find.

  • How do you deal with shin splints when running?

    Jump

  • YMMV but my shin splints stopped bothering me when I started taking a Glucosamine / Chondroitin / Hyaluronic Acid supplement (solaray). Might be worth a shot, not really any downsides to trying.

    Also Gastrocnemius calf and Achilles tendon stretches before sports helps me to avoid them.

  • French libs right now

    Jump

  • How do you get the stink out of your gym clothes?

    Jump

  • I play basketball 2-3x a week in the same workout shirts. Eventually washing did not help get the stench out.

    Soaking in oxi clean for 10-15 min then going through a regular wash has been the only thing that can get it back to fresh.

  • Workout planner/tracker app

    Jump

  • I haven't used it but I've seen BoostCamp recommended a lot and it should have 5/3/1 weights and reps.

  • Any “small-web” search engines?

    Jump

  • Personally really been enjoying Kagi for the past year.

  • US defense secretary says war with China neither imminent nor unavoidable, stressing need for talks

    Jump

  • China <> US relations have actually been at a much better place this last half a year. This articles pretty big on the fear mongering.

  • How do you guys feel about Loops?

    Jump

  • As a heavy tiktok user I would probably only use this if it had an algorithmic feed.

  • Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production

    Jump

  • Perhaps a bad example because most people undermine them, but China has still decided to move forward with 4 different nuclear facilities this year despite having an ABUNDANCE of solar manufacturing. If they found that decision worthwhile I would think the opposite, assuming most of the reasoning is current battery tech can't sustain dark periods at a massive scale, but I'm not an expert.

    Also just saw you mentioned nuclear costs in another comment, I suggest you look at South Korea and China's cost per facility compared to the US, they're able to build and maintain facilities at about half the US does.

  • Violence breaks out at UCLA after officials declare pro-Palestinian encampment 'unlawful'

    Jump

  • Google Play Store rolling out simultaneous Android app downloads

    Jump

  • Swapping to new phones is really dreadful because of apps installs. It seems like the whole process is great EXCEPT app installs.

  • ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US

    Jump

  • If you have to ask that question you definitely don't use Tiktok it's far far superior algorithmically than Reels and YT Shorts which are both absolute garbage.

  • ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say

    Jump

  • The article talks about why they'd prefer to shut down if you take their word it. Essentially the US is such a tiny portion of ByteDances revenue, it would be more optimal to shut down then to risk the sale of their algorithm. Assuming they're using relatively similar algorithms on Douyin, and they don't want whoever they sell to to turn around and sell to their Chinese competition, which is where the real money is being made for ByteDance.
