Concentrating Solar
Date: 2017-10-26 11:43 am (UTC)After going off them a bit for while I find myself back to being quite keen on concentrating solar receivers because of the internal storage and the ability to extend solar power out in to the evening and to smooth some of the daytime peaks and troughs.

Date: 2017-10-26 08:00 pm (UTC)I'm uncertain whether the rat park study is accurate or not, but I'm not more certain after reading Scott Alexander's piece of trash. He's mostly very good at writing about medical issues (as opposed to other issues, where he's a fairly typical Less Wrong crank), but dear gods, anecdotes about Ogedei Khan and stats about Native American alchoholism in an era when we know even unconquered populations were dying in massive numbers from European diseases. This sort of dubious "anecdata" is one of the primary reasons that I think most evo psych (especially that done by strong proponents of evo psych) is junk science.
