The very computer you are typing on and throw away in a few years poisoned people in its production and operation.
We are all alive for selfish reasons and compete for resources with others, including clean air.
An absolute standpoint does not help. We have to aim to improve and optimize.
- Symbiote 8y agoThese MPs have made their proposal for a way to improve and optimize: use zero-emissions cars instead of petrol/diesel. CalRobert has made their proposal: the same, but also reduce the number of car trips by improving cycling infrastructure. Neither proposal is absolute, though they exist: ban all [private] cars [from cities]. What's yours?
- lixtra 8y ago>> People are dying en masse but because you can't see it and say "my car was the one that killed them" most people just. don't. care. People are dying en masse, because people read forums like HN. His argument is poor. Wheter building cycling lanes is a net improvement can be discussed. It will depend on the details.

My main PC is from 2011, still going strong with only minor upgrades (RAM, SSD, new GPU). My laptop is of a similar age. I don't foresee replacing either anytime soon. We need to stop the ridiculous gadget race.
