When you wage a war you take any wins you can. You fight for every corner and every street. Western policies create a forcing function on the technology development. We need to make products so good that they win even without climate emerge

Hopefully we can force similar rulings in other countries and on the EU level. This ruling may be a precedent since it is partially based on the European law. The same could be attempted across the whole world where judicial branch holds ac

There are other legal protections and courts are there to weight them. If a company knowingly cause harm to third parties they must be sanctioned. Your right to swing your arms ends just where the other man's nose begins.

We are not capable of annihilating life on this planet. If we detonated all nuclear arsenals the planet would barely notice. Chicxulub impact event had yield comparable to 100 million megatons of TNT. Assuming we have 10 000 nuclear warhead

Yes, indeed. My point is that there is nothing impressive about it. It is just a good idea.

I don't see anything impressive in this paper. They basically say what they want to do, no results. They are not even original with the idea for this type of paper. In September last year Aran Komatsuzaki posted: "Current Limitati

Most likely because there are tradeoffs. Tesla is using other vehicles as guides, so it is possible.

Very unlikely. For Bitcoin this is just another day. 10-20% drops should be expected by anyone who knows anything about crypto.

That is anarcho-capitalism to you. Even though I'm a libertarian leaning, I still think we should put a tax from CO2 emissions on crypto transactions. Something in range of 300$ per tonne of CO2. So with bitcoin emissions at 0.5T per t
