I also hate that. Like, why even bother linking the article if all you're offering is the headline?

Anyways:

LONDON, Nov 26 - U.S. oil and gas producers are unlikely to radically increase production under president-elect Donald Trump as companies remain focused on capital discipline, a senior executive at Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), opens new tab said on Tuesday. "We're not going to see anybody in 'drill, baby, drill' mode," Liam Mallon, head of Exxon's upstream division, told the Energy Intelligence Forum conference in London. "A radical change (in production) is unlikely because the vast majority, if not everybody, is focused on the economics of what they're doing," he said. "Maintaining the discipline, driving the quality, driving the information, will naturally limit that growth rate." Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, pledged during the election campaign to boost domestic oil and natural gas output. Reuters reported on Monday that his transition team was preparing a wide-ranging energy package to roll out in the first days of his presidency. The United States has become the world's top oil producer following a surge in shale oil production, pumping over 13 million barrels per day earlier this year. It is also the world's leading natural gas producer. Relaxing of land permitting processing could provide a short-term boost to production, Mallon said. BP CEO Murray Auchincloss told the conference on Monday that he looked forward, opens new tab to the Trump presidency, saying the Republican leader will help accelerate permitting time for energy projects. Exxon earlier this year completed the $60 billion acquisition of smaller U.S. rival Pioneer Natural Resources, consolidating its position as the largest shale producer. Exxon expects to grow oil production in the Permian shale basin to over 2 million barrels per day, Mallon said. "We see growth beyond the 2 million probably for a couple of years but not at that continuous same rate ... certainly up to 2030 we see it growing," he said.

I live in Canada and tbh I'm with the Chad on this.

Not saying "turn off your furnace" but energy use (and cost) baloons exponentially based on how hot you have your thermostat set at. Lower your thermostat to the point where wearing a sweater indoors is enough and save money. It's not even just about the money, it'sresponsible energy usage.

And I'd be happy to subsidize the first X GJ/mo to help people keep themselves from freezing, but if people want their apartment to be the tropics that's gotta be on their dime.

Same with electricity. I'll subsidize keeping your lights on but I'm not paying you to mine crypto.

Same here.

But there is middle-ground here. My wife came from a very temperate country. She wants the thermostat set at like, 26.

I'd be happy to have it at 17 and wear sleeves indoors. 9 degrees thermostat difference makes a hell of a dent in the utility bill.

What's the difference?

Somebody has to pay the tax to get the items off the boat. Spoiler alert, everyone will pass the cost on to the final consumer.

You don't even have to go into quantum mechanics. I vaguely recall using a real/imaginary plane with a rotating vector to do something about electricity in first year engineering?

Don't worry I'm not actually an electrical engineer.

But my point is that there are applications for imaginary numbers with very practical engineering applications. Foundational, even.

I'm guessing they maybe mean that they have a more trivial practical resolution to real numbers, in that i^2=-1?

Kinda like "yeah they're imaginary but I understand that if I hit them with a certain stick they become real"

I don't think it's wrong for people wanting designate some events as being "family only". You might want something else, and I don't think that's wrong either.

I think this is a scenario with just two incompatible but valid visions.

That being said, I align with you on this one. I just think it's important to acknowledge that it's not unreasonable for someone to prefer to not have a stranger (from their perspective) around.

If I were you, I think I'd square it w/ my wife and if I got the green light from her to tell the family that you'll be spending Xmas w/ the friend. Either on your own or with them!

Can they SEE why...

One of the most insideous and common bot karma farming techniques is to "replay" a historical post.

They'll look at a post and comments from like 8 years ago, and have one account make the post, and then have other bots copy the original top comments. Then have another set of bots post the original responses to those comments.

As a result, none of the bots look like bots... Because they're actually more accurately "ghosts" of other real human users.

So when people are talking about bots, it's not just LLMs. It's also accounts which "fill out" the space, but which are actually just airing re-runs.

Flip side of heating could be to lower the temperature of freezers. If the energy is free anyways.

Hold the power button for like 3 seconds

That's my understanding as well.

But, as the original comment suggested, it doesn't really matter.

If every other cast iron pan goes up 15% in price, what do you think Lodge will do?

1. keep their price the same, see modest relative increase in market share with a demand for investment in additional production, knowing full well the tariffs aren't going to be permanent leaving them over-invested in production whenever they drop the tariffs.
2. Also raise their prices by 15%, immediately show increased revenue at no additional cost to shareholders next quarter. CEO gets massive bonus.

You can't make the hole for the air to escape with your hands though

I'm still missing something here. For it to be useful, I'd imagine that it would need to inform decisions, and do so where existing senses would fail.

At least in my environment, if I can smell rain, I could also just as easily use my eyes to see the cumulonimbus clouds and say "rain, due east".

In the savanna are there scenarios where the only awareness of rain would be smelling it? Can you derive directionality at 5 parts per trillion? Does it matter?

I don't see the two environments as necessarily being at odds in any way.

If implementing feature X is going to take a developer 10 days... It's going to take a developer 10 days. I can say the deadline is 1 day all I want, it's going to take 10 days.

If I want to get my Volkswagen golf down a 1/4 mile, it doesn't matter how hard I push the gas pedal, it's going to take as long as it takes.

In a corporate environment, if deadlines are what you're optimizing for, you have options. You can cut scope. You can add resources. You can decrease quality. You can forgo time intensive processes designed to reduce risk. These are still all agile activities. Making deliberate decisions, and continually evaluating those decisions is agile.

Agile doesn't mean there are no timelines or goals. It's just that the design and implementation are routinely examined for suitability to your ultimate goals.

So I actually think agile is better suited to corporate environments because of how volatile the definition of delivered value is. Open source projects usually have a less volatile vision

Do you have any idea how many jira states our development workflow has?

I wonder how much appetite there is for project managers and scrum masters in the open source world.

That's an interesting description of lemmy.ml

I'll just say that hiding not only the instance, but also any comments from any user registered with that instance has made my Lemmy experience about 1000 times better.

Edit: oh shit I'm thinking lemmyGRAD.ml lol
