Mostly oil fields which are not or improperly flaring or gaz infrastructure which are leaking. Can also be landfills where decomposition create methane but still mostly the oil industry. For “normal” emitters, you can add to that cattle far

I think you have that reversed. For the past few years, credits if you could get them were basically free money given the very low interest rates and the tax shield. Meanwhile VC wants shares. You are actually selling parts of your company,

> I noticed people from hacker news routinely read scientific papers. Highly doubt that. It’s very hard to actually read scientific papers when you are not actively doing research. You can’t just read a research paper in isolation. It’s

I agree there is an issue. I don’t agree about what the issue is. The problem is not Unicode rendering. The problem is improperly mingling information of a different nature. File extensions are not a good way to tell you if a file will be e

No one in Europe wants to create "hospitality-driven" cities. Who do you take us for? It's not bloody Disneyland.

It’s going to be great the first time an European sends you a message and nothing displays because your system can’t render the diacritic in their name.

I see, now, it makes complete sense. I'm sure museums in France are free for French citizen under 25 and the unemployed in order to draw in more tourists which would come and pay anyway. That has absolutely nothing to do with these cou

It's 2023. Pretty much everyone is using Unreal Engine, Unity or Godot for the bravest. Custom renderers are a thing of the past. The reason game developers don't release on macOS and Linux is the costs of testing and supporting t

The war against clickbait titles has been lost for good and the Washington Post post-Bezos acquisition is a sorry shell of the newspaper it used to be. Welcome to the modern world.

The issue is modern newspapers. They need to generate traffic and impressions so they go for what people click and what people click is not thoughtful, researched, and nuanced articles on what’s happening. What people click is bold titles a

The issue is not that it’s heavily subsidised. It’s that it has piss poor results for what it costs the French public compared to what’s done by others. Bourdieu didn’t need to propose anything. He proved data in hand that the system was un

Europe never defunded its oil and gas industry. I have no idea of what you are talking about. Germany used to buy Russian gas. The European oil industry is mostly in France and the UK (and Norway). Anyway ESG never was big in Europe and i

Not really. An ambassador is the head of an embassy while consuls are heads of consulates. A country have one embassy per foreign country but it can have multiple consulates. The Ambassador may have the responsibility traditionally held by

It is. The OP is wrong, probably because he has never used Mercurial, which wouldn’t be that surprising given it doesn’t have a lot of users outside of the few remaining companies still using it.
