Government investment in charging infrastructure, increasing fuel prices/registration fees on ICE vehicles, etc., those are approachable and realistic options, and things we can do right now . I personally believe, that come 2026, car

I think it's more like how it's Pope Francis and not Pope Francis I, since he's the first Pope Francis, you don't add the number. We will only do that after the fact, i.e. when another pope chooses the name Francis. So

But where does the money for whom that is purchasing those things come from? Eventually, all profit can be traced to human labour input.

You are correct, and so I have corrected the error. English will forever remain my second language.

Capitalism works, because democracy makes it palatable. Without democracy, capitalism would surely have collapsed before us. It's how some socialists consider social democrats their true enemy, as they have prolonged the existence of

Like crushing an old car and replacing it is more damaging to the climate/environment than keeping an old car going. Even if that older car is far less fuel efficient than the modern alternative. Same goes for all hardware... general

It's not necessary to have played Maniac Mansion beforehand? I'll admit this has been my main hesitation. I remember when Monkey Island III was big in the late 90s, I was hesitant because I hadn't played the two games that

I don't deny that the US is far bigger. And its density far lower, even in individual states. I'd imagine that does raise costs. But the US is also proportionally richer than Denmark, per capita ($62k vs $52k), not per square k

In Denmark, it appears to be about US$800,000 per kilometre.[0] The article mentions, that 17 billion DKK has been invested to dig down 3,200 km overhead wires. It further notes, that 5.7 billion DKK of the budget is spent on buying the c

I am genuinely curious why in a rich country like the USA, wires aren't dug down. I realise using my own country - Denmark - is an unfair comparison, since it's much smaller, but all wires leading to houses are dug down here. Ev

But it will feel like more is happening, thus lowering impatience, and it will also mean that even if the lights are synced, it's harder to get up to a dangerous speed in built up areas. So it's also safer. In cities, I don&#x2

And in my opinion, the problem is that the cycle itself is too long. If they merely tweaked that, the impatience would be lowered, and you might even get smoother traffic.

A lot of junctions in the US have 'intelligent lights' (I don't know the exact term), where there are plates on some lanes, so it only turns on for a lane if there are cars in it. That is mostly noticeable for left-turning l

by Svip 7y ago
Americans should consider shorter junction cycles instead. My experience in the US is that traffic light cycles are long, leading to impatience, and long queues building up at lights when they turn red, which may even spill into a junction

Speaking of LA, according to Politiken,[0] their leadership believes their terrible showing in the polls is partly due to a lack of financial support by the Danish industry at large. Specifically, they mention that LA got 3 million DKK les

I am not arguing for another language than English, but rather to maintain the status quo and keep all 24 languages official. Including English, even if no member state technically provides it. Which is probably what is going to happen an

I'm sorry, but this opinion piece sounds pretty dumb. It almost reads like a troll post. The fact that so many in this comment thread seems to be concurring with its suggestion is troubling enough. If you really want to alienate the

What confuses me most is the why chose American English? Considering that British English is already a working language of the EU, why go for a new one? That's just going to mean more work. If you are going to promote efficiency, a

Considering Sailfish OS has done that, they might just have forked that instead. Indeed, I believe there are other re-implementations of the Android Runtime out there, they could just have forked.

I was wondering the same thing. Why not rather than build a new database engine, write a library like an ORM that transpiles a language - like EdgeQL - to SQL, so you can attempt to use it, without switching underlying database engine, and

The brackets make it look like they are both subqueries and contained within in the EdgeQL examples. As such, you could write the examples in SQL like this: SELECT count(*) + 1 FROM table And SELECT *, 1 FROM table Both o

Odd. I can't find "secure google search" on the website. Are you confusing it with "Encrypted Search", that allowed you to search anonymously?

I own two cars, and love driving. Which is why I take the train to work. If I were to drive every day, I would start hating it.
