The Kahe (oil powered) plant at electric beach is still operational. The coal fired power plant that shut down is a little further south of there, closer to Barbers point.
For those confused by this comment, "It" refers to the coal power plant from the article, not the Kahe powerplant in the parent comment. I definitely went down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to confirm/deny that Kahe or Waiau shutfown before realizing my confusion.
Seems like the presence of the accumulated gunk in the cylinder means the hot water must be cleaner by definition? The accumulation being the net difference between what was dissolved in the incoming water and what is dissolved in the outgoing water.
With the exception of gunk that is from the lining of the cylinder itself of course.
How would one go about trying to get this law enforced on a company? I live in California where this tactic has supposedly been illegal for 3 years already, but when I go to cancel my AT&T internet subscription, I still can not do it online and am forced to call.
Basically we need 1W/m^2 of cooling for the earth, so if you could get a radiative cooling device with 100W/m^2 you'd need to cover about 1% of Earth's area
I assume the actual radiative power is greater than the cooling capability, since cooling power = radiative power - heat intake from atmosphere - heat intake from sun
so the math works out even better than it seems...?
I think the sentence is meant to be read: "As many Jews as [the number of] Signal readers" i.e. equating the size of the groups, not saying that they were the same group.
I understand that. It's probably also the reason the date (late autumn 1943) was picked. But in the haste of claiming guilt-by-association and showing a razor-sharp anti-fascist mind to the reader, the author wrote a meaningless sentence, and then fucked it up. That's bad writing.
It depends on the r value of the virus. A more transmissible virus requires a higher level of population immunity. Most common estimate I've seen for covid is 70-80%
Having no background whatsoever in this area of science, I would imagine that the percentages change over time as some individuals are still going out more or less living their lives and some are holed up extremely risk averse and won't be infected unless their 1 trip to the grocery store per week is compromised.
And it'd be similar for who is readily willing to take the vaccine vs. will refuse to ever do so.
There was a pretty good sci-fi story in (IIRC) Omni, wherein someone figures out how to make a computer that can scan in a document and produce a clear, simple summary.
The main character is a friend of the inventor, who can't seem to make any sales. Later, they run into each other again, and the inventor is HUGELY rich.
Turns out he realized that the original idea was a flop, reversed the process, and sold it to law firms.
I think that'd be a much harder thing to do well. You'll have a lot of false negatives. Missing nuances in complex sentences can change the meaning significantly whereas when adding extra words to a list of facts as long the words are pretty neutral meaning-wise you'll be fine.
It looks like Axios is launching something like this. I asked and they want 6 digits a month - way to much for us so I haven't demo-ed so maybe it's not AI but more simple suggestions
I learned the hard way that options agreements tend to have additional clauses allowing the company to unilaterally restrict sales. The contract might look like it has a straightforward process for employees to sell, with a company first right of refusal (with the company purchasing the stock instead). But there is usually additional fine print that basically gives the board veto power over any transfer of stock.
I'm definitely not an expert on options contracts, but the examples of clauses I've seen are:
(In the options exercise agreement): "All certificates evidencing shares purchased under this agreement shall bear the following legend: "The shares represented hereby may not be sold, assigned, ..., except in compliance with the terms of a written agreement between the company and the registered holder...""
(On the share certificate):
"This certificate and the shares represented hereby are issued and shall be held subject to all ... bylaws of the corporation, to all of which each holder ... agrees to be bound"
Either of which seems to give the company the ability to unilaterally reject any transfer/sale of shares.
There are reasons to do this also, as the number of shareholders can trigger reporting requirements even if you are private (jurisdiction dependent, of course).
In my opinion selling within the existing pool shouldn't be restricted, but this could become a sticky issue around board control so that probably contributes to the desire to control/curtail it.
If the person intends to naturalize in the US, a 6+ month period outside the US is also presumed to break the continuity of residence, which resets the 5 year clock for naturalization.
You can challenge the presumption of a break though.
