Your hypothetical meat eaters are stuck at the side of the road where they ran out of petrol.

The best we can come up with is not electric cars and synthetic meat but bicycles and vegetables.

Western agression (if you want to put it like that) does not justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Nor would it reduce the threat Russia poses. Surely it would increase it!

A modern industrial estate could be more useful than somewhere more remote. You get large car parks to park vehicles and build things. Warehouses to hide equipment, do maintenance, and provide shelter. You have access to grid power and w

Maybe the west did make some mistakes in its dealing with Russia. But that does not justify Russian aggression or negate the need to repel that agression.

It could get a few extra sorties out of the airplanes before they are all shot down or out of action due to technical difficulties. For a small country with limited external support that could be worth the relatively small cost. Also, the

I think the visual effects made a huge difference. The practical effects were good enough to be impressive and believable. But also some placed limits on the craziness of the story. Modern VFX has just destroyed that balance.

Correlation with other factors can also hide interesting science and understanding. There may well be mechanisms at play that we don't understand.

I think the is a big issue across aviation. The system just gives up and dumps the problem on the pilot who then has to parse conflicting data quickly. I wonder if it would be better to treat this more like a navigation problem. Fuse toge

My local newspaper is just unusable without a blocker. Multiple megabytes of ads and dozens of trackers all trying to load in a random sequence. You start reading a story and the site just loads something and moves the text.

That seems like a solution in an emergency, but these kind of interactions must happen all the time. And it is part of a wider problem where the baseline data about the world changes and not communicated in a standardised way. It could be

Depends how broadly you define HR. The company I work for has hr but their role is pretty limited. Payroll is handled by accounts. Recruitment is mostly done by hiring managers. Day-to-day issues are handled by line managers and office

The answer is that companies have limited cash reserves and need external capital to do anything. Particularly when you are looking to build something hugely expensive that cannot generate revenue for years. The real "plant builder&q

I wonder if servers could be located close to solar or even attached to individual panels. So that during times of excess you sell cheap computing resources. This could reduce demand on the electricity grid at peak times.

I was reading about the hydrogen projects around Teeside in the UK. You have existing hydrocarbon infrastructure, industrial customers, offshore storage, spare land, and an existing grid connection to the wider grid and renewables. This p

I think ui is like a language that you need to read to be able to navigate software. My experience is that many older people learn to use software by rote and can't read the UI well. Even quite technically skilled people. But my nie

I think most of the response needed to suppress bad behaviour is cultural and peer pressure. Rules and regulations just externalise that problem into an administrative function. People can demonstrate compliance without having to worry ab

And the modern world is full of those kind of black boxes that only a small proportion will ever understand. And it is a necessity because that is how we build on the work of others. Personally I think mental arithmetic is worth learning a

A lot of places in the developing world have a large rural population that is widely spread out. You may have a family dwelling every 100m surrounded by a small farm with each dwelling connected by foot tracks. It is like taking a large c

It is very high population density surrounded by some places with very low density. But the places with best wind resource in England tend to be AONB, national park. Areas like Lincolnshire, East Anglia have plenty of space.

What I heard is that it wasn't actually a good fit for oil companies as they tend to focus on building one-off installations. Renewables is more similar to serial production where you have to do the same thing many times. Which is a

The science of understanding environmental impact has improved hugely. We can actually know pretty well the answer to those kind of questions. And often the impact will be less damaging to the environment than what it is replacing (such a

Also our sources of gas are relatively diverse and secure compared to some main land countries. The UK maintained supply just fine, the problem was price. And arguably that had more to do with lack of nuclear capacity in France.

I think you are assuming that turbines would be paired with a certain number of batteries and taken together that would provide continuous power. But that is just not how a grid works or how the economics work. Battery storage is economic

Although magical thinking seems to be alive and well in all corners of life. Maybe we still have those kind of behaviours, just expressed in different ways.

I agree, although to be fair magical thinking was often the only explanation people had for why things happened. It is inexplicable now because we have much better explanations. So an element of ceremony may have been mixed into other thi

Not all nature is the same. Wetland birds often have limited energy reserves, particularly if they have just migrated in. They evolved to take off when they are disturbed. Increase in disturbance can have a real impact on mortality. And
