Is having food on the table and a roof on their head relevant to "most people"? Because, when we're talking about climate change, that's what is at risk for hundreds of millions of people.

Right now the share of the world economy running on Bitcoin is negligible, yet its energy consumption is relevant. If that share became consistent, the price of Bitcoin would increase by many orders of magnitude, and mining bitcoin would be

If the only way to have a decentralized, trustless, robust digital currency is to waste an inordinate amount of energy and increase our global warming and pollution problems, then we'll have to do without that kind of digital currency.

These numbers look weird. If only 80 whales in Hawaii are equivalent to 208 acres, then the entire world population of sperm whales should certainly contribute more than not even 4 times that number. But just 1 sperm whale contributing almo

Not signalling turns is something that I really don't understand. It requires minimal effort, doesn't slow you down in any way, and significantly increases safety. It's something that should be enforced much more.

Reserve for them parking lots which don't block bike lanes. Enforce them not parking on bike lanes. When parked there, they are a safety security threat.

TLDR: "This means intra-company VPN systems will no longer be authorized in China by anyone, including foreign companies. This in turn means all company email and data transfer will be required to use Chinese operated communication sys

Burning fuel to fill the gaps is technically possible; I'd like to see an analysis of costs though. Building and maintaining those plans is expensive even when you don't use them. Who is going to pay for those expenses?

Unluckily, you can't just extrapolate from current trends for solar and wind, because storage becomes more and more of a problem as the percentage of power coming from uncontrollable sources becomes higher and higher. When going from 0

Scaling horizontally a Rails application where the bottleneck is the Ruby code is always very easy - just add more instances working on the same DB. It is usually more difficult because the bottleneck is in the DB, not the Ruby code. You&#x

Performance matters in web applications, but that is almost never determined by the speed of execution of the web framework programming language. The performance bottlenecks are almost always in the database and/or the architecture. It

I was just researching about babylon and playcanvas for a hobby project I've got in mind - any additional suggestions about why one should choose one instead of the other? For info, I'm a very experienced developer, but I've

I think that one very important factor, at least in Italy which is where I lived for a long time, is the culture about processes and organisation. In Italy there are lots of very talented people, but very often they work best in a self orga

What have proposals about a "green new deal" got to do with the Soviet Union?

Thank you. I searched better online, the total mass is estimated at 52.7 billion kg, so the mass of the moonlet should be around 606,000 metric tons.

If you read the article, you'll find out that this specific asteroid was chosen because it's a binary asteroid with some specific characteristics. We'll only hit the moonlet orbiting around the main body, which will make it m

If you're curious about how big is the asteroid we'll target (from Wikipedi): it's a moonlet orbiting another asteroid; "It measures approximately 0.17±0.03 kilometers in diameter compared to 0.75±0.1 kilometers for its

I binged this yesterday. I didn't particularly enjoy the way they mixed Gate's early story with his current endeavours with the foundation, but all in all it's still interesting enough.

In other words, Trump's Republican party is losing votes in more highly educated districts, which not surprisingly fare better in the information-age economy. Conversely, it gains votes in districts with a lower education.

It's about liquidity. Education is a very illiquid asset.

Subtitles... or even audio. I've got an Italian Amazon subscription (even if I live in the UK now) and lots of US movies don't have the original soundtrack, only the dubbed one.

I love engineering. I don't love over-engineering. I also love to experiment with new interesting stuff. But that's not engineering, it's learning.

"limited" limits the amount of money investors can lose. It doesn't protect from criminal liability.
