Does anyone know if there's ever been any sort of proper retrospective why the forestry policies of many countries have been so disruptive. Ie supposedly the most organized, high trust, low corruption and scientific societies in the wo

Most common video seems to be a balloon filmed sideways from a fast flying aircraft, with parallax giving the illusion that the balloon moves very fast.

I bet some individuals would bring back smoking in submarines in a heartbeat, if offered suitable sponsoring...

I think it's useful to look at the whole, but also Europe is not very monolithic. One can also look at regions, especially per capita. One nice page: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/interactive-publications&

Yes, sorry, my criticism was meant to be directed at Burke, since the thermos comment has always bothered me. You're correct about payload fairing. Also, Space Shuttle External Tank was spray foamed, causing the Columbia disaster when

Actually... Rockets don't use thermos bottle tanks. Having two surfaces with a vacuum in between, like in a thermos bottle, would be way too heavy. That's why you see these chunks of ice falling at liftoff from cryogenic rockets.

Is some party or coalition putting forth candidates that stand against this?

I think there's a lot of independent startups that provide these kind of kits?

Interesting that they replaced the central panel with something more traditional looking?

Yes, sure, it won't solve everything and wouldn't be perfect. In a corporate environment, if you can measure something with a number, then you can set a target and pass/fail criteria and so on. Developers' personal opini

Organic farming, at least over here, has also wellbeing criteria besides just controlling the food. For example a lot more space per animal, ability to go out and so on. Organic meat is a bit more expensive, but not hugely. So it shows it c

I wonder if there is some easy way to have a "spaghetti index" of a codebase. One could then have different criteria for different projects / parts of projects. If it's a business critical thing that also expects to see

Actual CPU progress stopped so it's become a color and light show.

There's a hydrogen fuel cell version too that has been demonstrated. This is one potential pathway towards cleaner aviation.

To reciprocate the naming of Wine, maybe it could have been named Line. Also, both have this positive clang, being associated with "having a good time".

Maybe some trains could be more redneck coded somehow? Steam trains with sweaty stokers and buffalo shooting from the windows of course had plenty of that, but how to bring something from that aesthetic to the present? Bar carriage with spo

Awesome! Maybe there could be even larger speeds and timesteps.

If they are in sun synchronous orbit, I assume it would show up as a south-north string near the terminator (sunset / sunrise). Not visible at midnight.

But wouldn't it be cheaper for them to just hire more people to do the same amount of hours so that no overtime was used? And they would get better work output as well, since people would be rested.

Maybe a bit far forward looking but I think the idea has merit from first principles. It makes sense to analyze things from power perspective. Of course there are other limitations as well.

It's a relatively new thing but over here, in a cold climate, data centers are now often built so they are connected to district heating networks and the waste heat is utilized.

It feels so slow. I would like to have an electric car or e-bike. I live in a building that is part of a housing company that has many owners (most of them people living here). It is slow to decide and implement renovation, and the pipeline

I am not a historian but the difference is between a society with a "rule of law" and "law of the jungle". Probably high democracy correlates with rule of law, but they are not the same thing.

Should also give designers periodically small displays with low maximum contrast, and have them actually try to achieve everyday tasks with the UX they have designed.
