Your objection has merit, but this discussion seems to be focused on "what should we do going forward". While we currently suck at good & economical long distance transmission, this hardly seems to be based on physical limitat

To answer this question we'd need to have the same fundamental believes. Many people apparently want to optimize for stuff like human happiness. Something else looks more relevant to me: Evolutionary fitness. The entire rational might

I see two options going forward: - Filters, Article 13 style. Youtube, Facebook and Co have to ensure you can only post legal content - Accountability. A justice system is able to drag you into a court when you've done something illega

Sure, passengers usually want smooth rides. Software piloted cars could easily achieve this due to more cooperative behavior. E.g. distances to other cars telling you what they intend to do can reduce to that necessary for an emergency bre

It always fascinating to me when Americans pretend freedom of speech will automatically solve all struggles between people having incompatible worldview while their own political landscape in recent years has become more divisive than ever.

I'd say the easiest source is the archive of a reputable news site, since journalists are historically responsible for collecting and refining this information. Thus we are back at the initial question: How to get Slower, Better News?

How do you know whom to vote for? I understand the US doesn't have a lot of choice on the ballot, political news is highly polarized and latest/developing news is probably not worth following. But somewhat keeping up with what you

Steam is not our friend, correct. But they also had a quasi monopoly for a long time and didn't become outright evil. I give them a lot of credit for that. Hell they still allow Devs to sell on their own site but give steam keys (afaik

Long term a big difference would be your space station being isolated from everyone else. This avoids many bad incentives (like prisoners dilemma / tragedy of the commons). For now, space is just a good training ground. It is not neces

Your numbers seem way off. My first google results [0] mentions a single plant producing more than 100,000m³ waste requiring special treatment. Most of it on the less bad end, though. Or are you just talking about fuel waste and convenientl

Your numbers are a bit off (2018: 155TWh solar+wind; 65TWh biomass+hydro; 2006: 158TWh nuclear as of [0]), but I'd agree with your conclusion. The biggest disappointment in those graphs is the near constant use of lignite, but politici

No, reducing carbon footprint is not the only priority. It is an important one, but doesn't top everything else. I don't want emergency responders driving slowly just because its for the environment. Nuclear, especially the waste

Of cause the carbon footprint is stationary, since both nuclear and renewable are good on that front. Replacing nuclear with coal wouldn't be stationary and graphs [0] look like renewable has decently taken over former nuclear. I don&#

Keep in mind that the US uses first-past-the-post voting for many elections, meaning the party with most votes takes the entire pie that was voted for. Thus not voting for one of the two biggest parties will help that other big one you like
