The real issue is that no tool really will be able to work well for teams over 10-15 ish users. Its the same issue DropBox, Drive and Box has. They are really “just” glorified network drives. Email by its de-central nature still is the best

Youtube can do what they want but let's not forget that they use WHO as a guideline for what is considered within the Overton window. WHO has repeatedly been wrong on a number of occasions not the least mask, travel bans, and very slow

Can dumb matter become conscious? Apparently yes if you count us as conscious. So the question becomes, what is to hinder AI for becoming conscious? How you answer that question defines if you can conclude. For now I would say the answer is

So in other words. You can't back up your claim about the future. No one claimed that there won't be battery storage or grids in the future. But the claim that it can somehow be done with renewables is simply flat out factually wr

You are the one claiming things about the future you can't prove, not me. I have pointed to a source you haven't pointed to anything. I will leave it to others to judge who have facts to back up their claims.

Yes through countries forcing it and still not more than 1% of the global world energy consumption.

by ThomPete 6y ago
It's the other way around. You are the one claiming so you need to show how you are going to store enough energy around ex. the US to be able to reliably provide energy from renewable energy sources to everyone that needs it or let&#x2

I'll gladly own my words for 5 years. Lets meet in 5 and see. I have been accountable for my words for a long time now, more than 5 years. And I have still to see any of your claims come to fruition. Go back 5 years and you will see pe

Please point to a single place where this works at scale. It's wishful thinking.

Density is a problem and that doesn't go away by saying it's just an economic problem. Heat is just one example of a problem with density. Again there is a lot of wishful thinking out there but the second you dig into it you reali

I wish it was that simple. Solar and wind are less than 1% of world energy consumption and not expected to grow substantially. It's nothing what so ever and there is a reason why a lot of funding for renewables died out in the beginnin

It's always a feedback loop. You can get it cheaper because we have better technologies that make it possible and we have better technologies available because we can make it cheaper. There are real attempts at all sorts of things. Tha

I have followed this strain of industry for many years and have been actively looking for something to invest in. Storage is not even close to being at a useful stage for anything other than pilot projects which is why that is what we have

The hype around renewable never ceases to amaze me. The complete absence of any critical journalism is just astounding. So many "in the future" "potential" "could" "might" "eventually" in th

You dont need to have that to get a great high paying job. Most jobs in the tech industry are talent based not merit based. There are some areas like doctor or experimental physics where physical presence makes a lot of sense. But most educ

you are missing the point. with your logic much more should be banned and censored than is. People also believe WHO and did harm too. You are walking down a path that doesent lead to anything good.

so what?

Please point me to the storage technology that works at scale and economically. We are not even close to having anything that can do that. Furthermore the reason why oil, gas and coal and to a lesser extent nuclear are so crucial for a mod

Those studies are nothing but wishful thinking and I would challenge you to point to exactly where they prove it's possible in anything but theory. If it was that easy Germany or Denmark would have done them already. There is a world o

point is that they need backup from either nuclear, coal, oil or gas to be reliable, but the very people who want more renewable is normally against nuclear. Wind and solar is less than 1% of the worlds energy consumption and not expected

there is a reason we havent switched to renewables and that is that they are unreliable.

I literally just downloaded Steam on the mac to show my boys Team Fortress only to be met by this sad news :( I really hope something like TF2 resurfaces in some form again. I never liked the feel of Fortnite.

Read the sources I posted elsewhere. It's a well known secret of most people who know a little about tax in Denmark.

Please read the actual source. Here is another https://www.investopedia.com/articles/wealth-management/1215... It's obvious you don't know Danish tax law. Let's just leave it at that.

That doesn't mean you should assume I don't know the difference between Denmark and Holland. Tax haven is not an official title for any country or place but a definition and Denmark is by definition a tax haven for holdning compan
