Measured in terms of mass * distance, trains with steel wheels will beat anything with rubber pneumatic tires.
Part of the magic of hybrid trains is that you can have multiple generation units that can be turned on or off as needed.

Efficiency is just one consideration for a power plant.
Historically, reliability has been more important than efficiency, especially for industrial applications like locomotives. In other words, locomotives are probably not as efficient as they could be. For instance, you could use a lower viscosity engine oil for lubrication, but that would reduce reliability as engines fail due to friction.
For any particular person, you can tell a story that satisfies "Why?". But for a large number of people, you have to answer "Why?" for one sub-group at a time.
In other words, there's not a single answer that will answer this in a satisfying way.
To answer a different question: It appears that the Israeli government and military wanted to bomb Iran again, and the United States executive branch and military decided to help out. This is an incomplete and unsatisfying answer. Sorry.
Of course, working in a legacy codebase is also torture.
Software development is a hyper-rational endeavor, so we don't often talk about feelings. This article also does not talk much about feelings.
Reading between the lines, it looks like reverting the code is supposed to affect how you feel about the work. Knowing that failure is an explicit option can help to set an expectation; however, without a mature understanding of failure, that expectation may just be misery.
With a mature understanding of failure, the possibility of a forced rollback should help you "let go" of those changes. It's like starting a day of painting or drawing with one that you force yourself to throw away; or a writing session with a silly page.

If someone thinks that they are giving you good advice, but it sounds terrible, then maybe they are expecting you to do some more work to realize the value of that advice.
If you are giving someone advice and they push back, maybe you are implying some extra work or expectations that you have not actually said out loud.
Advice is plagued by the tacit knowledge problem.
Regarding the rest of the article: it reminds me of how things like nursery rhymes or fairy tales or Shakespeare's plays used to mean something very different and very specific.
Which means that reading someone else's shell script (or awk, or perl, or regex) is INCREDIBLY inconvenient.
It's very, very easy to get shell scripts wrong; for instance the location of the file redirect operator in a pipeline is easy to get wrong.
Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.
If you have lower capacity, your body feels bad and this is reflected in your emotional and cognitive state.

As written, this sounds very glib. I cannot take this comment seriously without a game theory scenario with multiple actors.
Many people in or related to the current administration have spoken in favor of free speech, which feels quite ironic.
The problem with the current push on "illegal immigrants" is that
1. It has been incredibly brutal
2. Many of the currently "illegal" immigrants were not illegal until their status was revoked by the current president.
3. The question of your immigration status, under the current system, is decided without proper access to legal representation.

Some people feel that the current push is solving a real problem in the real world.
Unfortunately, the real world is actually very complicated, and you can't flatten that complication without violence.
If that is hard to imagine, replace the ICE acronym with Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, Bureau of Land Management, or Internal Revenue Service.
I feel like there is a range that might be described:
I don't care very much about you one way or another. (Small/no signal on social media, very unlikely to be boosted)
I care enough to fight for you. (Big Signal on social media, likely to be boosted)
I care enough to calmly discuss the problem. (Small signal on social media, unlikely to be boosted, likely to be trolled, unsatisfying in the face of active fighting words)
"How do I show that I care about you?" might also be called "virtue signaling". Unfortunately "virtue signaling" has taken on such a negative meaning that it is no longer useful for communication.
I'd love to see them incorporate visual detection of vehicle crash debris as well. There are two intersections in my area that consistently have crash debris like broken window glass and broken plastic parts and license plates from crashes. I know they are dangerous, but I don't know if autonomous vehicles also know that they are dangerous.
Data egress and ingress are always possible, but then you have to manage authX (etc) in more than one place, more than two places, oops now it's 3, 4, 5 and now we got ransomware'd
Bureaucracies have many fathers, the society we have is the result of conflict and incentives.
1. (Big one) For virtually EVERY study, and especially human science studies like psychology, sociology, health; The Headline of the Press Release will imply things that the study does not claim, and especially that the study does not provide evidence for.

Pertinent quote from this article:
Everyone seems to be interpreting this paper as follows:
Aha! We thought the heritability of lifespan was 23-35%. But it turns out that it’s around 50%. Now we know!
We built a mathematical model of alternate universe in which nobody died from accidents, murder, drug overdoses, or infectious disease. In that model, heritability was about 50%.This headline seems to imply quite a lot for a relatively small study based on survey responses.
2. For the mass market social media platforms, it's pretty easy to get emotional support inside your bubble, at the cost of ... everything else.
I feel like the huge and obvious problems with social media hide a small and subtle, but insidious problem: How do I show that I care about you?
I feel like there is a range that might be described:
I don't care very much about you one way or another. (Small/no signal on social media, very unlikely to be boosted)
I care enough to fight for you. (Big Signal on social media, likely to be boosted)
I care enough to calmly discuss the problem. (Small signal on social media, unlikely to be boosted, likely to be trolled, unsatisfying in the face of active fighting words)
How long does it take to learn to juggle 3 items? 4? 5?
How much time will it take you to measure the coast of England between Brighton and Seaton?
> It prevents you from estimating things longer than a sprint, because it assumes that's impossible.
And yet, management wants estimates for a whole project. Projects have to get paid for somehow, and project estimates are a key part of that in many many organizations. Ever wonder why government IT is SO BAD?
