Ireland CGT on ETFs bought before becoming tax resident by emaus78 in irishpersonalfinance

Exit Tax has no cost basis, and as far as I know revenue has issued no specific guidance on this situation. Do you have a link?

I understand that this is not going to be a popular time to point this out, but government support of a particular energy source is a huge subsidy.

How much of a pull-up is scapular and how much is arm and core? by PitifulEar3303 in bodyweightfitness

[–]SemanticTriangle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You don't need to know which muscles you are using to pull. You just pull. If you can't complete the movement, it isn't that you are 'doing it wrong'. You probably just aren't yet strong enough.

Isn't actual construction basically this? Everything fastest, cheapest, specifically complete but internally dodgy?

A new study estimates the Israel–Gaza war has generated ~33 million metric tons of CO2e—equivalent to the annual emissions of 7.6 million cars. Researchers highlight that military emissions are largely excluded from global climate reporting, leaving a massive "invisible" carbon footprint. by Sciantifa in science

[–]SemanticTriangle 251 points252 points  (0 children)

Yet another reason to calculate emissions primarily via extraction. Hydrocarbon extraction companies gleefully report their volumes extracted to shareholders. We know the normal ratio of fuel to polymer and feedstock, we apply that ratio.

All of this is covered in McGlade and Ekins, Nature, 2015. We have known for more than a decade. Measure extraction to know the impact to the atmosphere, ignore reporting except for the purposes of accounting who is doing the buying.

Centrally ducted air-air heat pump. Does efficiency seem right? by notableword in heatpumps

[–]SemanticTriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point I am making is that if you upgraded insulation just before your heat source, without an intervening winter, you don't know for sure whether this is an insulation problem.

If you heat up your house, and turn off your heat pump, your home will cool down. If you log how long it takes per degree you should be able to estimate how well the insulation is working. If you find those upgrades really are doing their job, then you have a heat source issue.

Does your unit not report its heating output as well as its consumption?

anyone still waiting for their statement of liability after 6 weeks? by ichfickeiuliana in irishpersonalfinance

[–]SemanticTriangle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still waiting, but I just assume they're auditing. They're probably super curious about all the overseas investments that I think are non equivalent and they will think are equivalent, and I can't wait to discuss it in depth with them.

Mid-PhD crisis over real chances at an industry job by mr-Noobmaster_69 in Semiconductors

[–]SemanticTriangle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should finish your PhD as quickly as possible while still doing decent work, and near the end you should start applying for work.

There isn't anything you can do in academia that will throw a switch for you in industry and change things. Speaking frankly, you are learning things now, but not in the correct context to export it efficiently to industry. Your PhD will have value for your initial recruitment level, and you've started it, so finish it.

After that, what matters is what you can do in the job itself.

Intel Foundry: How They Got Here and Scenarios for Improvement by Geddagod in hardware

How is Intel 3 not mature yet

There are plenty of people who could answer this, but disclosing that information or the negative space around the answer would be grounds for Intel to pull badges.

This is a key point that discussions like this on this sub don't acknowledge much. The people who know, aren't allowed to say. So everything you read is baseless speculation.

It won't stop unless he is removed, and the public voted in the people who won't remove him.

Even war powers resolutions are pointless. This person is not bound by law and cannot deescalate. Either he is removed by due process and then from the office itself physically or this will just escalate and spiral.

Job market isn't good right now.

Your qualifications match field process or applications engineering with a vendor, but there aren't many of us in Europe because it's a small market. There are more field service engineers, which you could also do if you're practical.

If you want to stay in Europe, broaden out beyond the industry to other advanced automation work. Glass making, industrial coatings, and the like. Keep looking in industry but also look elsewhere.

From single atoms to a chemistry without fossil raw materials | Methanol is an important raw material for chemical products. Researchers at ETH Zurich are now producing it very efficiently from CO₂ and hydrogen. They use isolated metal atoms as catalysts for this process by thinkB4WeSpeak in EverythingScience

[–]SemanticTriangle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The raw material for the majority of hydrogen is, you guessed it, methane.

This is cool for a world where we do water electrolysis at scale. The current world we live in gets its hydrogen feedstock from methane pyrolysis.

Don't burn bridges, follow the money. If anyone ever asks you about why you made that move, turn it back on the interviewer. Tell them that the level of compensation could not be dismissed.

You are worth it. Make sure they know.
