I always thought the 1st Amendment was about prohibiting "The Government" from curbing speech. I think a lot of us have gotten used to being able to say anything--things unbridled in scope and unlimited in quantity on (private company) Social Media, but such expectations are not guaranteed by Our Goverment's Constitution.
Re:Ask HN: Best HVAC system for a new house?
on Tuesday October 13, 2020 @02:11PM (#24768143)
There are 2 aspects to home comfort: Having the right amount of heat in your house, and keeping the temperature in your home from fluctuating. As others have pointed out on this thread, there are many ways to add and remove heat from your home. I would suggest that the second point, the thermal mass of your home, is an often overlooked item that is very easy to design in pre-construction, but very hard to add as an afterthought. Interior stone, concrete, and water (like a fountain, for example) efficiently and perpetually absorb and radiate the existing heat into an already conditioned space in a way that is eminently comfortable.

Re:Dear Amazon, We Picked Your New Headquarters for You

I've lived between Denver and Boulder for a couple of decades now, and my gut reaction is that Denver/Boulder is probably the type of area that Amazon is looking for to attract talent. Louisville, CO (outside Boulder) is often ranked #1 or #2 for great places to live, and Louisville has the abandoned Storagetek campus (~432 acres) and immediate access to HWY36 and the 470 Tollway. Whether or not adding a mega-campus of 50,000 to the 80027 zip code (or frankly, even one 20 minutes south to Denver proper) is good for the Corridor is another conversation entirely.

While it is true that many of us will experience some kind of brain failure (if we don't die of something else first) making claims about absolutes like "zero" and "none" are not perhaps constructive to the conversation. My experience with my 90-year-old father in law is that he can recite far more stories about being 10 in rural Kansas in the '30s than I can of being 10 in Colorado's suburbs. He'll also demolish any who care to challenge him at Scrabble or contract bridge. Also, he happens to be the nicest, most unassuming guy ever. Dementia may eventually come for him, but today is not that day. YMMV

Extrapolating this graph (whose last data point is approximately 1998), we should expect a commercial reactor very soon--perhaps in about 2005.
