It is never only about physics when we talk about impact of climate change. Even if you talk about catastrophic runaway warming, it is caused by ecosystem-level feedback loops. The question raised is what are the possible net-good feedback

Terrorism is unrelated to integration problems. Also, Germany is the (second? Idk how that's measured) most inviting country? Why does it have least attacks on that chart? That chart actually reinforces my point ... Just empty populism

This is nice example why are some people less cooperative. Everybody paying for something that majority wants is labeled as "coercion". So "if I don't like I should be able to not cooperate". And we end up with game

Actually all mentioned countries have sizeable immigrant minorities (except Denmark I guess). I'd say burden of proof is on the side claiming "developing integration problems" and such in Australia / Sweden / German

Considering how many people are preaching "do not use electron, write true native apps", the argument is the same (use lower level tools) and reply to it also stays the same: Dev time is the most expensive resource.

Problem is - we need the line. If someone is openly calling for someone else's death, is it ok? And neo nazis - just by embracing the historical association - seem to be ok with crossing any line. Of course it brings other problems, as

You do realize it actually is not getting worse? Fukushima barely killed any people, while Chernobyl has ~100 casualties. The radiation of areas around Chernobyl is bigger and more lasting than those of Fukushima. Not to mention these are 5

It IS an effective argument when public accepts solutions like Energiewende - ignore age of nuclear plants and decomisdion them all while building coal capacity. Guess why so many people like nuclear when observing such stupidity.

It seems to me like he argues that scaling nuclear is mostly known (but expensive) problem. And that scaling renewables is largely unexplored, and very likely similarly expensive problem.

Please compare it with how expensive energy storage is.

Billions of dollars to modernize plants? Where are you pulling that number from? This is what parent meant - scaremongering (and resulting ridiculous hyperbole) destroys progress.

You have your facts wrong. Fukushima didn't kill even ten people, let alone hundreds. The region got so small radiation dose it is already basically harmless ... Decontamination efforts will make it pass even irrational radiation safet

Well the problem lies in exaggerations of not-actually-using-javascript crowd. If the "cycle" would be five years, would it still be that bad? If the previous framework would be of the very first generation of actual workable JS f

"thick" client is really meaningless term, when it can mean anything between "5k+ LoC" and "100k+ LoC". I'd argue redux is best used for projects closer to that upper bound. But I don't have real expe

So why aren't you panicking over dangerousness of wind turbines? This is pretty bad argument.

That's not good analogy (living in hotels), better would be to compare how many people own their flat/house and how many rent it. Which would imply that a lot of people will still own their car ...

That's very wrong POV - you can train someone else to work with tooling/software/processes specific to your company, while still being less skilled or otherwise beneficial than him/her overall.

I don't really care and don't see why should I. Hysteria over tracking / "loss of privacy" seems overblown to me.

Isn't it because people naturally assume e-cig smokers are actually ordinary smokers trying to quit? Most e-cig smokers I know fall in this category so I view all vaping people through that lens. And in that cotext such dismissive reac

And thanks to "political" discussions between highly informed HN members I learned that (Paris being toothless). I'd say I benefited a lot from that discussion, as did a lot of other people. So I guess create controversy with

Conservation of fuel. Especially as the fuel for "classic" two stage rocket would be vastly cheaper than magic-fuel they used later in the movie. Why everybody brings up this honestly stupidest ctiticism about the movie is beyond

There were several plotpoints about how there was NOT surplus of antimatter (or whatever propellant they used). And in case of "blowing up" they could use those am engines as LAS (they apparently had enough thrust), so what risk a

Frankly asking here about frontend is a bit pointless as it's too fashionable to bash it. It'sof course not too late, actually situation is now pretty stabilized ... There are 4 major frameworks (React, Angular2/4, Ember, Vue

Gosh, you sound like there's nothing to learn on backend. Seriously, maybe more humility will help you improve. Frontend is super easy to learn for beginners (anecdotal evidence of me and like 4 other friends/guys I know). And MDN

Look at the share of the GDP being spent. You probably have smaller (% of GDP) budget than we do.

My experience is the opposite - paid workout without many responsibilities is nice job. It's monotone as hell and you have to forget any real ambition. Also bosses often suck ... But when you find position under good managment it IS st
