>Seriously underestimated Seems to be the rule of thumb with climate apocalypse now. There really is no precedence justifying a conservative/reactionary stance on climate change. T…

Fish is awesome, but it lacks features and shortcuts of bash/zsh, and it's sometimes hard to translate things. It's also quite buggy IME. Great out of the box experience. Tho, I wo…

I wish the wiki had a bit more redundancy and TL;DRs. Way too often you are "required" to understand some related issue completely to follow "the arch way". Problem is, this stacks…

I don't know... This year I lost all hope for Germany's future. This goes beyond VW. Until now, I kinda thought everything is going to be alright, Germany is a rich country and all…

That's not the argument tho. You liking Apple's ecosystem doesn't mean they aren't anticompetitive. And really your point is kind of... weird. It's not like you don't have to go ou…

The new Siemens offshore turbines put out up to 16MW. This has blown me away. Tho, they are scary machines and I get uncomfortable looking at them (like single balcony on a huge wa…

I think offshore wind farms have been proposed to protect the US from hurricanes. So apparently they substantially decrease wind energy.

I think in Germany it fails, because reporting positive tests fails. Nobody doubts, if the app was promoted and reporting working flawlessly, it would hugely contribute to managing…

Could you elaborate or link a source. I have a hard time believing acting on lethal blood oxygen levels somehow does not apply if infected with SARS2.

Neither extrem weather events, nor pandemics are expected to be freak events in the coming years. SARS1 was a warning shot. I don't think pandemic monitoring and response preparati…

I imagine for semi-criminal actors, injecting code or "accidentally" using systen data, are still two different scenarios. I mean, state actors could also just follow you around, o…

Also, isn't x86 ISA just a translation layer today? I thought on the metal, there is a RISC like architecture these days anyway.

Because with Linux excitement can change things. What are you gonna do if you miss something in iOS/macOS? The right people can in principle make anything work in Linux but with ma…

Something like this... but a lot cheaper please. Like <500€ please.

Thanks for jumping in with way more info than I could provide. I love how the DNA language, much unlike spoke words, is in close relation to physical properties of the world. There…

I was actually about to write the net benefit bit, but decided against for avoiding some knee jerk reaction of the HN crowd, drowning the argument XD

I don't think your comment your comment is a fitting response as I clearly stated this is about the general, theoretical stance, where you can't make assumptions about either the a…

As a German, I don't see VW getting it together rapidly. Germany doesn't get life in #Neuland. VW and most of the German industry are respective leaders in some niche by being good…

Yes, for the looks, but this was based on old Intel.

Now I imagine God looking into the petri dish watching car and paperclip forming entities fighting each other over the measured resources of the experimental culture medium, seeing…

Yes ofc. I was making a theoretical argument. Assumptions about the data or hardware matter in practice, but they are not relevant for the theoretical exploration.

Yes! Thanks for pointing it out! > ... but it's energetically infeasible to replace petrol based plastics (2nd paragraph) I am using this throw-awayish account with a lacking mobil…

What?! I got that book somewhere. That's hilarious, I didn't expect that. Now I have to read it.

Thanks for the insights! Still I think ebooks are a different product. At least in my head. I have a different emotional relationship with a physical book. The information within i…
