Summary:

Perhaps Whitty should have been more in tune with the moment when Carol and Hex had somehow got onto the topic of emotions. Continuation of To Be Or Not To Be Dinner, though can be read as a standalone.

Preview Snippet:

Perhaps Whitty should have been more in tune with the moment when Carol and Hex had somehow got onto the topic of emotions. He'd been a little distracted at the time, given that he'd had one near run-in with an agent following the whole, mess, at the soccer field. Thankfully not Updike, and Whitty was able to get away before he could be cornered, but the encounter stuck in his mind.

So, when Carol had mentioned something about crying, and Hex had given the somewhat more logic-based explanation that he wasn't really capable of crying, being a robot and all, Whitty had made the mistake of giving his answer a flippant tone as he replied that he didn't cry. Ever. And then looked away because someone moving on the periphery caught his eye, someone wearing white, and completely missed any apparent plan being cooked up between his two friends.

It made him completely unprepared for when Hex and Carol asked him to come to Carol's house, with the invitation to watch a movie. It sounded like a nice one, for sure, something about a mouse?

Smol starter for @cloudyfenrir

He didn't know how long he'd been here... all the days merged into one ugly instance, though no less ugly than his time spent in that awful laboratory.

Important to take things one step at a time, but where exactly was he supposed to start while slowly starving to death or dying of exposure were his only feasible options?

At least the sound of the trains coming into this place was a touch soothing, a reminder of something vaguely familiar at least. This place was so foreign, and the smell was worse...

Khum'a pulled the blanket a little tighter around himself then as yet another throng of people padded their way onto the station platform.

He just wants to go home.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s a harsh reality we face today. The ever-increasing global temperatures and Unpredictable climate patterns are a clear sign of our collective impact on the planet. Among the many contributors to this crisis, manufacturing industries play a significant role in carbon emissions.

India’s manufacturing sector is undeniably a cornerstone of its economic growth. It has the potential to create millions of jobs, boost exports, and elevate the nation to new heights of prosperity. However, the shadow of environmental concerns looms large over this potential boon.

The rapid industrialization we are witnessing is mirroring China’s trajectory, with the risk of falling into the same pollution trap. The question is, can we afford to prioritize short-term economic gains at the expense of long-term environmental sustainability? The consequences of unchecked carbon emissions are stark – from deteriorating air and water quality to extreme weather events

seeing people saying gfycat going down is "a sign of the internet being commercialized" and "now everything has to be paid for or have ads" and its like.

girl, that shit was already true in the early 90s. how on earth did you think otherwise. did you think the people who venture funded gfycat did it for charity

gfycat's been an asset of Snapchat for a number of years now, did you think it was just a charity or a mistake?

Venezuelan political and economic analyst Luis Vicente León, from Datanálisis consultancy, points out that Venezuelans perceive the economic improvement in the country when comparing the current situation with “the most recent worst situation” — the ‘hypercrisis’ of 2018, when there was widespread shortage and long lines. “But even today many people are living with a lack of energy, water and consumption capacity”, analyzes Léon. And he adds: “Now, the country is not well because we lost 75% of the GDP in seven years and we are far from recovery”, he says. In an interview with a local radio station, economist Asdrubal Oliveros, from Ecoanalítica, a Caracas consultancy, said that economic growth exists and is mainly driven by the private sector. He, however, added: “We were at level 12 below zero and now we are at 8. Economic growth is real, but it is not yet perceived by the majority of Venezuelans.”

Catherine Wolfram: High-energy scholar

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/catherine-wolfram-high-energy-scholar/

Catherine Wolfram: High-energy scholar

In the mid 2000s, Catherine Wolfram PhD ’96 reached what she calls “an inflection point” in her career. After about a decade of studying U.S. electricity markets, she had come to recognize that “you couldn’t study the energy industries without thinking about climate mitigation,” as she puts it.

At the same time, Wolfram understood that the trajectory of energy use in the developing world was a massively important part of the climate picture. To get a comprehensive grasp on global dynamics, she says, “I realized I needed to start thinking about the rest of the world.”

An accomplished scholar and policy expert, Wolfram has been on the faculty at Harvard University, the University of California at Berkeley — and now MIT, where she is the William Barton Rogers Professor in Energy. She has also served as deputy assistant secretary for climate and energy economics at the U.S. Treasury.

Yet even leading experts want to keep learning. So, when she hit that inflection point, Wolfram started carving out a new phase of her research career.

“One of the things I love about being an academic is, I could just decide to do that,” Wolfram says. “I didn’t need to check with a boss. I could just pivot my career to being more focused to thinking about energy in the developing world.”

Over the last decade, Wolfram has published a wide array of original studies about energy consumption in the developing world. From Kenya to Mexico to South Asia, she has shed light on the dynamics of economics growth and energy consumption — while spending some of that time serving the government too. Last year, Wolfram joined the faculty of the MIT Sloan School of Management, where her work bolsters the Institute’s growing effort to combat climate change.

Studying at MIT

Wolfram largely grew up in Minnesota, where her father was a legal scholar, although he moved to Cornell University around the time she started high school. As an undergraduate, she majored in economics at Harvard University, and after graduation she worked first for a consultant, then for the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, the agency regulating energy rates. 

In the latter job, Wolfram kept noticing that people were often citing the research of an MIT scholar named Paul Joskow (who is now the Elizabeth and James Killian Professor of Economics Emeritus in MIT’s Department of Economics) and Richard Schmalensee (a former dean of the MIT Sloan School of Management and now the Howard W. Johnson Professor of Management Emeritus). Seeing how consequential economics research could be for policymaking, Wolfram decided to get a PhD in the field and was accepted into MIT’s doctoral program.

“I went into graduate school with an unusually specific view of what I wanted to do,” Wolfram says. “I wanted to work with Paul Joskow and Dick Schmalensee on electricity markets, and that’s how I wound up here.”

At MIT, Wolfram also ended up working extensively with Nancy Rose, the Charles P. Kindleberger Professor of Applied Economics and a former head of the Department of Economics, who helped oversee Wolfram’s thesis; Rose has extensively studied market regulation as well.

Wolfram’s dissertation research largely focused on price-setting behavior in the U.K.’s newly deregulated electricity markets, which, it turned out, applied handily to the U.S., where a similar process was taking place. “I was fortunate because this was around the time California was thinking about restructuring, as it was known,” Wolfram says. She spent four years on the faculty at Harvard, then moved to UC Berkeley. Wolfram’s studies have shown that deregulation has had some medium-term benefits, for instance in making power plants operate more efficiently.

Turning on the AC

By around 2010, though, Wolfram began shifting her scholarly focus in earnest, conducting innovative studies about energy in the developing world. One strand of her research has centered on Kenya, to better understand how more energy access for people without electricity might fit into growth in the developing world.

In this case, Wolfram’s perhaps surprising conclusion is that electrification itself is not a magic ticket to prosperity; people without electricity are more eager to adopt it when they have a practical economic need for it. Meanwhile, they have other essential needs that are not necessarily being addressed.

“The 800 million people in the world who don’t have electricity also don’t have access to good health care or running water,” Wolfram says. “Giving them better housing infrastructure is important, and harder to tackle. It’s not clear that bringing people electricity alone is the single most useful thing from a development perspective. Although electricity is a super-important component of modern living.”

Wolfram has even delved into topics such as air conditioner use in the developing world — an important driver of energy use. As her research shows, many countries, with a combined population far bigger than the U.S., are among the fastest-growing adopters of air conditioners and have an even greater need for them, based on their climates. Adoption of air conditioning within those countries also is characterized by marked economic inequality.

From early 2021 until late 2022, Wolfram also served in the administration of President Joe Biden, where her work also centered on global energy issues. Among other things, Wolfram was part of the team working out a price-cap policy for Russian oil exports, a concept that she thinks could be applied to many other products globally. Although, she notes, working with countries heavily dependent on exporting energy materials will always require careful engagement.

“We need to be mindful of that dependence and importance as we go through this massive effort to decarbonize the energy sector and shift it to a whole new paradigm,” Wolfram says.

At MIT again

Still, she notes, the world does need a whole new energy paradigm, and fast. Her arrival at MIT overlaps with the emergence of a new Institute-wide effort, the Climate Project at MIT, that aims to accelerate and scale climate solutions and good climate policy, including through the new Climate Policy Center at MIT Sloan. That kind of effort, Wolfram says, matters to her.

“It’s part of why I’ve come to MIT,” Wolfram says. “Technology will be one part of the climate solution, but I do think an innovative mindset, how can we think about doing things better, can be productively applied to climate policy.” On being at MIT, she adds: “It’s great, it’s awesome. One of the things that pleasantly surprised me is how tight-knit and friendly the MIT faculty all are, and how many interactions I’ve had with people from other departments.”

Wolfram has also been enjoying her teaching at MIT, and will be offering a large class in spring 2025, 15.016 (Climate and Energy in the Global Economy), that she debuted this past academic year.

“It’s super fun to have students from around the world, who have personal stories and knowledge of energy systems in their countries and can contribute to our discussions,” she says.

When it comes to tackling climate change, many things seem daunting. But there is still a world of knowledge to be acquired while we try to keep the planet from overheating, and Wolfram has a can-do attitude about learning more and applying those lessons.

“We’ve made a lot of progress,” Wolfram says. “But we still have a lot more to do.”
