The equivalent of 'days since last injury' bonuses is the first method that comes to mind, until you consider that this would mean people would be more likely to hide things going wrong.
So then many things are to rely on executive culture, and an executive who will walk the line and get their info from people at the bottom is like a unicorn. That won't scale, but it does work if you do have such an executive. Naturally they would need a basic understanding of how supply is created in their firm.
Yet there is something. Toyota Hiluxes and Honda Super Cubs got popular due to maintenance ease. AK-47s. Miele vacuums. Older Thinkpads.
What measures would make the human equivalent visible?
Those consume nowhere near as much electricity as data centers.
Of course electricity wouldn't be such a problem if US government chose to invest in cheap, sustainable energy sources and upgrade its grid. China is building solar and nuclear like crazy, and that gives them a massive advantage here.
Hopefully in future elections Americans choose a candidate and party that isn't bought by the fossil fuel lobby.
No, we will only get to pick between “bought by fossil fuel lobby,” and, “degrowth moron” - case in point Newsom, a serious presidential candidate who is killing off our refineries while not doing enough to make EVs work for common people. You can say that’s a hard problem and takes a ton of time and work, but a responsible politician would not hurt the high percentage of Californians who can’t afford an EV or can’t charge it, by driving out refineries.
And Newsom also doesn’t support nuclear, while our electricity prices are already over double most other states.
The Democratic Party’s modern strategy about energy seems to be to just throw wrenches into the existing fossil fuel world (because that’s the easy part) and then wag the finger at consumers when they complain. “Well, you gross polluter, you should have just bought a $40,000 EV and a $700,000 house to put $25,000 solar panels on!”
To be clear, I’d love to vote for a Democrat who had a real energy policy that replaced dirty energy with clean, and was able to get tons of people into EVs where practical.
industrial greenhouses make noise? I live near Forest Hill, LA, which is where tons of nurseries set up, dozens and dozens. they all have greenhouses. No noise. I bet their electrical connections don't raise prices of local residents, either.
So is it the water? I don't know where i sit on the water argument. Equinix near LAX had chillers, i guess, but really it's just massive HVAC. chillers don't work everywhere (my understanding). I don't remember plumes of humidity coming off the facility, either. I also don't remember being able to hear it from outside the building, or even in the foyer before you went through the mancatchers.
It's been this way at least since the Administrative Procedure Act. Solidified later with Chevron. Chevron is struck down, but in effect not too much has changed.
Yes. The 10 wealthiest men in the world in 1919 didn't have CT scans, ultrasound, dialysis, pacemakers, knee replacements, CPAP machines, asthma inhalers, air conditioning, or computers.
I was thinking the other day that Apple is best positioned for drone companions- not even necessarily humanoid, but solving the battery charge problem to have an assistant follow you everywhere.
At some point I started to include jokes in documentation to encourage people to read it. For the most part, this only entertained whoever the knowledge or project admin was.
As a lifelong script kiddie, the thing that made it all possible in my youth was simply time. The more time I had, the more hours I could spend figuring out that 0.01%.
