   I believe it's 51% of the greenhouse effect, that include 20ish percent of co2 emission resulting from cattle + the effect of methane which is a much more powerfull green house gas than co2. (now whether this number is 51% or something

   In theory, it is 7 hours a day (for 35 hours a week contracts). In reality, most office workers are pulling unpaid extra hours. It's also possible to get 38.5 or 40 hours contracts, where you would get extra holidays to compensate (ove

   I hope flatpack becomes the de facto standard. It seems to solve problems the right way. Between that and wayland being ready for showtime, I think the future of linux looks pretty good!

   Yes, the EV industry needs to come up with a standard as quickly as possible now that it's pretty sure EV are here for a while.

   I wish the oil/coal/gas price would go up... That would make solar so much more competitive and discourage people from buying combustion engines.

    I wouldn't call that storage though, it's more of an efficient way of buying energy on a grid market.

    I think hyperloop is the product of mismanaged communication. People need to move on about this one, not much to see. Tesla and Solar City on the other hand seems to make perfect sense. Why do you think it's shady? (ahah, shady, solar.

    they might as well put a real payload on it right? It's not exactly cheap to launch a full rocket, especially when you involve hundreds of engineers. I would be curious to know what's more expensive. Build again a satellite that e

    I can't believe an LED that adapts the colour temperature to the time of the day like F.lux does isn't a standard yet. LEDs are great but boy are they agressive to the eyes. (Yes that's a bit unrelated, I figured I'd ran

    It a matter of finding the right balance. You want scalability? you have to drop your constraints and external keys in your DB. In fact don't use a DB with a schema. You want safe data? Use a good old relational DB with well designed s

    I'm really looking forward seeing big cities adopting EV for buses and cabs. In London the black cabs are noticeably more smelly than regular cars, and buses are... well buses.
