That's why we should be advocating for more research into SAI, but the reality is we will do it anyway when situation gets bad enough. Global warming has happened and will get only…

When the alternative is failing crops and hot bulb events - it will happen eventually. We did this for over 100 years btw., just as a by-product of burning fossil fuels. Cleaner te…

It's far easier to start doing stratospheric aerosol injection than to stop burning fossil fuels.

I'd rather keep my warranty.

I was happy to confirm my suspicion that the author is polish and the name is indeed a pun (piwko being a small beer in polish).

You should look up how much NATO members in Europe were spending on defense during the Cold War.

6502? Luxury! In my times you were lucky to have a processor.

I went over "Writing an Interpreter in Go" and "Writing a Compiler in Go" but instead of doing it in Go, I did it in C. In hindsight it was a very good decision, because it forced …

An iphone todo app that's tailored for my needs and motivates me to commit to completing some amount of small tasks every day (even if it's just a single "rest and relax" task). Cu…

This article is based on false premise: he was not arrested, only escorted by police to a parliamentary commission hearing.

LCOE doesn't make much sense when you think about it. It doesn't include storage necessary for intermittent energy sources, nor grid costs. It also doesn't account for how much var…

It's only 75Hz. Why can't they make a decent pro monitor with a reasonable refresh rate?

Apparently not much.

Considering it's lifespan and low external costs (like grid extension and energy storage for renewables) - it is cheap. What makes it expensive is politics.

Definitely, cheap and predictable energy would be fatal for Australian economy.

Population of European Russia is ~110 million people so a bit more than Germany.
