It has been a few years since I last used Tor, but even back then you could download at megabit speeds over the network. I would assume that the situation has improved, I’m surprised that you seem to report the opposite.

PCPs don’t have the capacity to follow all medical research either. They depend on a network of institutions and regulation to do their work. How do you propose to scale that without the bureaucracy?

I agree that we’ll actively have to do something if we want to reduce carbon levels. I’m not convinced that we’ll want to reduce carbon levels badly enough to spent all that money. It’s very hard to convince voters that they’ll have to spen

You still need to turn incredible amounts of biomass into charcoal or other stable forms of carbon to make a dent in atmospheric co2. It would take decades of hard work on gigantic scales to unburn and bury the fossil fuels we used.

The problem with any scheme to capture and store carbon from the atmosphere is the incredible amount of carbon we've blown into the air in the last 150 years. Just look at the size of the machines we use to harvest coal. Essentially yo

If people depend on remote downloads from different companies for their CI pipelines they’re doing it wrong. Every sensible company sets up a mirror or at least a cache on infra that they control. Rate limiting downloads is the natural cour

Time saved to increased productivity or happiness or whatever is not linear but a step function. Saving one second doesn’t help much, but there is a threshold (depending on the individual) where faster workflows lead to a better experience.

If Uber were cheaper than the depreciation and running costs of a car, what would be left for the driver (and Uber)?

I’m happy with the late nineties web and miss renting physical movies. Chatting peaked in the the early 2000s. I’d be fine with a late nineties salary if cost of living hadn’t exploded since then.

Is anybody still spending significant amounts of money on lightning? I always turn lights off when I leave the room out of habit, but making tea consumes more electricity than running LED lights for hours.

Yeah of course scientists can still learn more, but at some point the layman can’t really get any new information from the press release.
