Eh, the issue is not thay the US is good/bad whatever but this article frames most dialog on CO2 % change. There are a few issues: C02 is only one greenhouse gas of which others, particularly methane from cow farts, are substabtial c

Have my doubts that this is as much a real issue as it is people upset over change. When I buy 'beefless beef crumbles', I'm not confused. I'd be willing to bet the number of people that are actually confused rounds to

article aside, for the most part, this title is a tautology right?

I would love to see a breakdown by country. Given the endless rhetoric around manufacturing reshoring/offshoring/etc., it would be great to see if thats even something we should care about given how much automation already exist

I negotiated with my wife to only have biological children below the replacement rate barring unexpected twins, etc. If we want more kids than this, we will adopt.

I believe that you don't have anything against jews. not sure you can just generalize across the board though. And this applies jews -> palestinians and palestinians -> jews.

Personally not sure I care about a 90s baseline at all. And most relevantly, the difference now is access to information anywhere/everywhere and in more detail/angle/opinion without a lot of latency.

I pedantic point, but I think crops probably qualify as animate.

This is illegal for US (private) companies to do right? Sometimes I wonder why it is illegal to tell the world you are fundraising but having a casual conversation about it with someone is fine. Such a bizarre world where you can’t really

we are all miserable? This premise seems a bit loaded.

Sure, but its also in their interest to push that narrative. Doesnt mean its wrong, just that its not as simple as a neutral observer. That and when ever any prediction is right, there are always tons of people that predicted it as a resul

I'm not buying that. The reality is early stage companies dont bother with patents as mich because of money and time constraints. Really well funded compa oes sure, but the reality is patents are a tool for the big guys, if you have

Yes. So many articles about funding and startups live in this small little bubble of thinking that all startups make a silly little app and that their trajectory will be that of the social mobile craze a few years ago (get users, retain, m

Its probably worth noting that this site may be manipulated: http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/white-house-petition-si... After the election, many petitions were not registering signatures. My position is

I agree it isn't 100% perfect for every situation. But I can think of plenty of instances where ditching colors, lowering resolution, etc. have been totally fine (and often essential) for gaining a level of intuition. As some other c

uber and lyft are the next mass transit (at least in concept). think of trains and busses as circuit switched networks and cars (in a rideshare context) as packet switched networks. packet switched flexibility wins over the efficiency gain

I really loved the mechanical design. Designing for 3d printing (especially fdm) can be tricky if you don't want to spend lots of time cleaning up support material. Very cool.

Yeah these aren't bad. Only complaint on these is the discharge curve. For some reason they run a little low for their middle voltage range making them work for devices designed/spec'd to run at that lower voltage point. O

I'm not - we ship our stuff with alkalines. but regardless of what current chemistries are best at today, one time use blows. Lets say we get 1 year on our alkalines and would get 1.8 years on lithium, after just a couple years, I wi

Really curious about self discharge. We make super low power wireless systems and one of the best parts of alkaline is that they are effectively shelf-stable unlike most lithium chemistries that loose a lot to leakage. For phones, tablets

From an environmental perspective - I have always felt the failure to adopt nuclear power was a result of environmentalists that undervalued global pollution relative to localized pollution. Of course the safety concerns whether or not the

I always wonder about Hong Kong now that it is under the one country two systems - basically, I wonder if internet censorship will be lessened before HK internet openness disappears.

So your response is, all those other things are irrelevant because you perceive that the US is unethical. You are confusing my objection to CORPORATIONS to your objections to NATIONS. I don't believe anyone claimed the US, or Germany

Background beacon services or location services also suffer from this although I'm not always sure whether it is the OS author or the manufacturer. The trick here is that these manufacturers know that people will try a different phone
