The car problem is solved. There are huge battery factories built all over the world right now. Most major car manufacturers are releasing several electric cars this year. I’d bet you that few cars run by fossil fuels will be sold in Europe

The problem with nuclear isn’t that it in theory can’t be made safe. The problem is that is is run by humans, in combination with the failure modes being so sudden and large scale.

It’s in Sweden, where almost all electricity already comes from renewables and nuclear. Also, the comment was a response to the claim that steel production was hard to do without fossil fuels.

Eh? Earthquakes and Tsunamis happen, so it’s a bit weird to remove them from the equation.

Talk about cherrypicking the results. Yes, slightly more 30-44 year olds are willing to pay more for renewable energy than 18-29 year olds. But both of those groups are much bigger than the two groups 45-59 and 60+. So the reasonable conclu

Yes, but that is nothing new. How many people do you need to run a mine today compared with 40 years ago. Or cutting down lumber or run a steel mill. So most communities far from cities are already gone. In addition, trucking et c. will no

The sad thing is that the necessary actions would impact people’s life directly much less that the COVID restrictions. Petrol and flying would become expensive, and some jobs would disappear and be replaced with other jobs, sometimes somewh

It’s just enough that enough of their constituents do for them to start caring. A lot of young people and people with kids already care a lot. If people can worry about the deficit 10 or 15 years down the line people can worry about climate

But during the summer there’s actually quite much more sunlight in the north than closer to the equator. The growing season might be shorter, but it has potential to be very productive.

The COVID response showed that governments (not all) can take drastic action when needed, both to limit the spread of the decease as well as to protect the economy. If they treated the climate emergency as the crisis it is, they would have

Kudos for spending four hard years to publish a negative result! It will hardly make any of them famous, while it still is a very important result. Hopefully this means that we can leave the whole EmDrive debacle behind us once for all. And

If I would have given birth to 10 kids, seen 5 of them die, and maybe just becoming a grandmother, I would consider myself old even if I only had lived for 35 years. I might live for another 35, but my strength, health and looks would defin

I thought it was obvious that you, except for the most trivial systems, would have to roll some kind of replacement. The advantage of rolling your own would be that it could be a simpler, tighter, framework just for your specific use cases.

That's because they are served cured and fermented and never fresh. So there's no season for them.

I said “he tried”. His intentions were good, but it almost got him fired.

I think he tried to use mature, respectful language. But he apparently anyway put his foot in his mouth. Of course everyone should do their best in being sensitive in their ways of expressing themselves. But many people could definitely sho

That was a really good explanation. In particular the part that we don’t flip left-right, but rather forward-backward and how she illustrated it with the glove.

You need to learn how to code without crutches. IDEs are great, and people should definitely use them, but I’ve met too many programmers who just are lost without them. The worst example was a guy who couldn’t even navigate his own small pr

They select people who have a lot of discretionary time. I guess that is ok, if you want an organisation consisting mostly of young people without family that are happy to work weekends and evenings. I’m very happy to be in a position where

It doesn’t sound like antisemitism. Some people choose to pretend all criticism of the state of Israel is. -Israel is an apartheid state. -You fucking nazi!

It certainly helps to vaccinate the most vulnerable people in all countries, instead of vaccinate everyone in certain countries first.

That is apparently wrong [0]. I recently heard a podcast with some of the scientists involved. They were very frustrated with how hard it had been to get any attention at all for the negative result compared with the original research. [0]

Not freeing memory, but tracking down memory leaks. We rarely even hear that term nowadays, but most large commercial programs used to have them.
