People built 1000s of churches and cathedrals which, at face value, was a collossal waste of manpower, materials, and space. And yet we admire them and keep them around for 100s or 1000s of years, because of their greatness. The same for th

Would one be able to extract energy out of the hot tiles as electricity? With a heat exchanger?

It makes sense to put nicer looking tiles on rooftops if you value the looks of them. You would then find normal looking tiles a tax. That‘s why it could make sense to put solar panels on roofs that don‘t impose this tax on you even if thei

Given that I‘ve grown up with zero people in my environment that showed behavior of ADHD I wonder how much of it is just consequence of our ever more stimulus-intensive world. It seems most extreme in the US - the TV program there is a cons

There are plenty of examples where the young renegades veered off and produced their own products in an AOC or DOC region. It just means the onus of marketing is upon themselves. It just makes more sense to create a brand that binds hundred

Glass recycling (as in refilling) is done all over Europe. I’m surprised it’s not done where you live. So it’s certainly done in the developed world.

I don‘t understand the downvotes. If you drive more than 10000 km a year with a car you are not only doing yourself a disfavor, you are also a huge liability for society. The priority should be no travel > walking > biking > transi

They would make the most sense if the parking lot that surrounds them were converted into 4 story residential housing, a commuter rail station, and a bus stop.

In the end it only makes sense if you replace trips that are more carbon-heavy - and the evidence that this happened in the 3 months seem pretty weak. If you create additional mobility then everybody loses. People should have an incentive t

If we could terraform Mars with this little amount if money - wouldn’t that money be better spent terraforming Earth back to its state from 100 years ago?

grep still runs a regex processor though, which I think by default is a deterministic finite-state machine. I had the impression that even when only fixed strings are used one would still need to use -F to get to full speed. For fixed strin

Most likely they just take the one from bing. Or, if they trained a better one, it goes vice versa sooner or later

My favorite antipatterns at the moment: - only light roasts. Lots of acidity. No option to get a chocolaty or nutty flavor - baristas with a mission to sell you pour-over or cold brews - no sugar! I really hate that one. No I don‘t think li

Yeah they have Lidars for 10s of 1000s of $ mounted and should be able to go for certain distances without GPS. If a GPS outage was designed as failure mode. But it would perhaps be one of the later items on any engineer‘s priority list sin

I‘m not sure what you are eluding to. Are you saying it is ok to exploit finite resources? That‘s also a morality play. Is it ok to live at the expense of future generations? I think we should finally start minimizing these external costs.

Wow this is surprisingly wrong. ConvNets _are_ message-passing networks. It is easy to see that bitmaps can be seen as graphs, with pixels as nodes and connections to their 8 neighbors (and themselves). Treat every neighbor as a connection

Guess what happens if they decide to build that fleet of space bubbles: Hooray we can just continue what we were doing. Let‘s burn more oil! Let‘s build bigger cars! Party!

Why would you create new technology with natural gas these days. It seems such an energy source of the past. Europe is jus suffering from the dependency on it and seeks to get away from it as soon as possible.

Mixed use zoning is the answer. The American-style segregation of life vs. work needs to be a thing if the past. It might have made sense when most of work was industrial and thus noisy and dirty, but with modern office environments and ser

Generally stress often manifests in tight jaw muscles. And the jaw is close to the nerves that cause one form of tinnitus. And the jaw muscles are also connected to the muscles in neck and shoulders. And these muscles are often strained wit
