People are fickle, mostly stupid abt politics, they only care abt themselves -- which is fine, representative democracy works just fine this way.

So understand..? No. UK electorate could have 'understood' WWII situation and vote for the guy who won it, but they didn't. Churchill's ass was grass.

The decision to keep the incumbent is in very general terms, a combo of 'how am I doing', 'do I like this guy', and 'did he stay too long'.

"Right populism sounds like fascism"

Noone sits around and defines these nice little categories for people to fall into; politicians (therefore the people) naturally gravitate towards certain blocks bcz of certain optimality. A hard-ass parent, tough, strict with their children, would this person be more "work till you die" type of person in his economics, or otherwise? The categories arise naturally. If the natural categories are not followed, take that as a sign of fail, artificiality in the system.

"The rivalry between Europe and China in emission-free hydrogen technologies could become one of the defining business stories in the global effort to stop climate change.

"The formulation that slavery was tolerated as a necessary evil at the time of the Founding, and that the Founders expected (overoptimistically) that it was on an inevitable path to extinction, is a fairly standard one, and mostly an accurate way of putting the more complicated story of Founding-era slavery and anti-slavery into a nutshell.... The Founders’ optimism was misplaced. But they did have a plan; it just didn’t work out the way they expected"

Nice.. Github lists the computer languages used in your repo in percentage. My tutorial repo has roughly,

JavaScript 0.3%

That's exactly right. TeX is high in the list, obviously, the whole thing is written in LaTeX. Python is next up, the main language of all computations. Java is from the sub-blog, the non-math, tech part. Some my early AI posts are in Lisp, GH caught that. Very good.

The grid is inefficient as hell. De-electrification is needed.

#disruptTheGrid

"I'm most interested in seeing how Bloom Energy can potentially solve two problems at once with a new strategy. The company recently announced a new solid oxide electrolyzer that it expects to have available in 2021. In its simplest form, an electrolyzer simply uses energy (usually electricity) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms. It's the reverse of the chemical reaction that takes place in a fuel cell.

The reason electrolyzers are important for energy is that -- if they're cost-effective -- they could essentially make fossil fuels obsolete by creating clean, abundant fuel. Water is abundant, and there's more than enough wind and solar energy to replace all fossil fuels, so clean energy isn't a problem either. Bloom Energy plans to use this fuel for its backup markets, but it could also be used in large ships currently being developed by Samsung Heavy Industries and Bloom Energy. This could disrupt shipping as well as the grid"

The Atlantic: "The U.S. and China both offer different social and governance models—one is generally free and open and the other is authoritarian and closed. Each threatens the other, not necessarily because of the foreign-policy choices the leaders make, but because of what the governments are at their core. Beijing believes that the freedom of the press, the internet, social media, NGOs, economic interdependence, and exchange programs all have the potential to undermine their regime. They are not wrong. Indeed, many Americans saw this as a positive side effect of engagement. Many Americans rightly understand that China’s authoritarian model has negative externalities that threaten U.S. interests and freedoms. Tools of repression domestically find their way overseas. Beijing seeks to censor all criticism of its regime by coercing other governments, companies, and individuals. It sucks up data on foreign citizens. It employs mercantilist techniques to pursue dominance of new technologies. China is actively seeking to eviscerate liberal norms around human rights, anti-corruption, and freedom of speech. The regime interferes in democracies to advance its interests. Neither side can accommodate the other without compromising the essence of its system"

"The first submersible application of fuel cells is the German Type 212 submarine. Each Type 212 contains nine PEM fuel cells, spread throughout the ship, providing between 30 kW and 50 kW each of electrical power. This allows the Type 212 to remain submerged longer and makes them more difficult to detect. Fuel cell powered submarines are also easier to design, manufacture, and maintain than nuclear-powered submarines"
