   Sorry for the broken link, Google URLs on mobile are a mess. Here's the link : https://www.ipcc.ch/apps/njlite/srex/njlite_download.php?id=...

   With a more scientific approach, the IPCC[1] models show we could see mass migrations between 200M and 1.5B due to climate change before the end of the century. Not a total collapse, but the collapse of a dozen of countries due to unsustain

   I wish RISC-V could launch a new generation of French foundries ! No Intel tax and no US-backdoors anymore.

   Your statement is mostly true, but you can fire someone for economic reasons. Still, most startups rely on armies of unpaid interns as a workaround.

   I worked in both French and US startups, and the french startup ecosystem felt like cargo cult. Our business school culture is so prevalent, techies are always ignored. Engineers are poorly paid, if not at all. And the rare VCs have zero te

   This is a great introduction nicely designed ! Do similar websites exist for other genres?

   Users don't like to type their credit card number again. I wonder if the payment friction counterbalances the lower fees.

   You'd be surprised : there are more astronauts alive than YouTubers with >10M subscribers.

    A significant part of Niantic's servers were overloaded with bot requests at that time, which caused massive lag for everyone. Banning was their only option. They came with a shadowban technique later though : https://www.th

    Satoshi wanted a world without banks and centralisation. Now his tech is used for the exact opposite. Just like the Internet that was diverted by big corporations. Let's not make the same mistake gain.

    "The thermometer hit 50.6 degrees [...] in the Rajasthan desert city of Churu." Churu has 120k inhabitants, you can call that a population center.

    Just like Record labels are obsolete because of SoundCloud and home studios, Hollywood could be obsolete. Pure creativity would flow without investors and maniac producers. The future golden age of indie creators could be fueled by this.

    Is unemployment the problem ? Or the redistribution system itself ? It's sad that Universal Basic Income and 20h work weeks have been theorized for decades, but never reached the political debate.

    This is literally a $200 coffee vending machine with a $25,000$ arm to move the cup. Except the Wow effect, I don't see the value of this. This is a Emperor's New Clothes situation. No one dares to say how dumb this is, in fear of

    I would love DeepMind to put that AI on the ladder as they discussed during the last Blizzcon. The APM and camera restriction is not for entertainment, it's to develop intelligence rather than 1500+ APM. The interesting part of StarCra

    Today, 1/1 games without the camera hack were won by the human. This is disappointing, but their PR is a success. Mainstream media is already saying "AI has beaten StarCraft". Another lie for the AI bubble I guess.

    If any Facebook compression engineer reads this, please fix the sound in Messenger videos ! The sound bitrate is absolutely terrible, only for ridiculous bandwidth savings.

    It's mostly because HN is one of the most rigorous communities online. And it's worth it, it's the only website where you learn more from the comments than from the article itself.

    YouTube demonetization is such a big problem for most creators, I'm sure a last impactful YouTube scandal could push a lot of users to another platform.

    That's true. Watching the first WCS championship is extremely cringy even for a normal-skilled player today. It's cool to see how the meta has improved in recent years !

    I agree, I've spent way too much time on Google Earth VR ! But I still think virtual tourism will stay niche in the future because of the social reasons I stated.

    I'm skeptic about virtual tourism. We already have 4K HDR screens that display gorgeous pictures, but people still go to the museum to admire paintings. Tourism is more of a social act than a content-consumption one. People brag when

    This is why we should be way more interested by future research on StarCraft 2 by OpenAI. This game favors Macro over Micro oven more than Dota2 and the original StarCraft.

    Jeanne d'arc is a myth in French history. Just like the other shows about King Arthur's and Les trois Mousquetaires. The park is more about culture and folklore than royalist propaganda.
