Economic growth doesn't necessarily require energy expenditure growth. Figuring out how to do something more efficiently (for half the energy) is also economic growth.

It's anything that's traditionally fermented, isn't it? Beer, kefir, cheese, natto etc.

I don't think it will bring about appreciable results, but I think that's fine. Everyone has their own opinions on it. Government policy is the one that matters for me since they can force things.

People are going to do what they want to do. You can't use forceful policy to change it. At best it becomes ineffective, at worst you get unintended side effects that you only notice afterwards. Your best bet is to take gaming and to c

But they can go rent a car easily. Or they have a friend/family member that they can borrow a car from. And 46% already means that it's not the norm to not own a car.

The Overton window has been shifted. Before such arguments wouldn't have been entertained, now they are. For some, the banning of cars was probably the goal from the start.

I think it would've happened regardless. Cars took over the entire world. Even in places where everything is close-by it's abnormal and limiting to not have access to a car.

One of the biggest arguments you will hear in favor of government taxation is "Who will pay for the roads?" But very little of taxes goes to actually building and maintaining roads. We need new and innovative taxes on top of the o

Many other countries already have excise taxes on things like gasoline though. Gasoline costs more per liter/gallon in Lithuania even though people earn 2-3x less money. I think this is part of the reason why the EU economy is pretty s

I accidentally wiped a few years of files like that once. Now there's a gap there and it makes me a bit sad. I definitely go back and sift through some of the old stuff from time to time. It's pretty great.

Body temperature would be a big factor. As far as I can tell thermoregulation is the highest consumer of energy in the human body.

The study did look at activity levels separately. It found that activity levels have actually gone up, but I'm unsure what they specifically mean under "activity levels" ie would driving instead of walking county?

This is very surprising! Some outtakes from the study: * Total Energy Expenditure reduced by 7.7% in males, 5.6% in females. * Basal Energy Expenditure reduced by 14.7% in males (!!), 2% in females** * They adjusted for body composition b

Money might move from capital to labor, but you aren't getting any extra production of goods. The stuff labor wants to buy still has the same amount of scarcity. Ie you will get inflation. You need to encourage more (efficient) produ

Those horrible things are usually in trace amounts and can very well be impossible to avoid for food. But the caloric value, protein, carbohydrate, fat, and sodium amounts are not relative. I would like stricter nutritional labels, but I do

But the government does not really regulate what you eat. They require a nutritional label that has objectively true information on it. It's possible for others to check whether the information on the label is true. Even then it's

I don't know the exact age I was. I can tell you that I don't have any memories from before I could understand German. It probably was in the 1-2 (maybe 3) age range though based on what my parents have said.

Unlimited screen time taught me a foreign language that nobody in my family speaks. As a small child I watched German-dubbed anime on TV and picked up German from it. I know at least a dozen other people my age that had the same experience

This raises potential for the next AMD generation though. If they can reach better cost effectiveness but provide more VRAM then that could work.
