Is it that more expensive if you take into account all the externalities from burning coal? Increased cancer risk due to high radiation, other pollution etc. CO2 is just the cherry on top.. > That would imply that Germany should be criti

Grids in Europe are interconnected. So you can build nuclear and and import wind/solar from the surrounding countries which would effectively be the same.

All kind of idiot (objectively) environmentalists were fighting against nuclear for decades in Germany and other countries. They weren’t the only factor but nuclear was already effectively dead by 2011 in Germany.

Fusion power plants are also being developed. How is that an argument for anything?

> have no relation to each other. How? Surely you wouldn’t need to burn as much coal if nuclear plants were still running?

You can build both nuclear and solar and wind at the same time. Poland will stick to coal because of local economic interests, it has nothing to do with nuclear. > They were not, there is even less coal used since nuclear plants were shu

> for good reasons Like what? Surely nuclear is much cheaper than coal if we take at least some of the externalities into account? Carbon emissions are arguably not even the worst aspect of burning coal…

Eurowings certainly doesn’t.. But yeah generally that seems to be the case. Ryanair for inspection is one of the largest airlines in the world but it never had any fatal accidents.

I refuse to believe that the people who made some of the best ancient statues had an artistic sense of a 5-year old when it came to color... Obviously ancient status were colored but probably in a much nicer way. No way something like: htt

Yeah absolutely. I just don’t think that consumer tech companies which make 10 year plans (instead of a broad high level vision) and try to stick to them tend to be that successful. > are all pretty much orthogonal to the app distributio

The iPhone had some very clear and straightforward use case which were appealing to some extent to every person who had a phone and used internet. To me VR seems closer to where PCs were in the 80s at this point.

They love 3rd party developers who play by Apple’s rules and just ignore everyone else because they can.

It’s not like there was anything that similar to the first iPhone. But yeah it was arguably closer to a tech demo and a toy than a real device. Apple and Jobs himself weren’t even exactly sure which way they wanted to go with it.

It’s getting harder and harder to see the good UX under a layer of bugs and minor issues Apple can’t be bothered to fix (mainly talking about macOS)

iOS is macOS too according to this definition since they share the same kernel and a bunch of other stuff (probably more than Android & GNU/Linux at this point)?

The Swiss healthcare system is privatized to a higher degree than the US one (no Medicare/aid equivalents) yet it seems to be doing mostly fine because of sensible regulation?

An income based repayment system (e.g. max 10-15% or something like that), low interest rates and a cap on max tuition wouldn’t be that terrible?

Mobile OSes were always more of a cost center than a product in its own right. In these cases OSS tends to be way more competitive.

There hasn’t really been a market for paid browsers since the mid 90s. If you’re giving put your software for free reusing OSS components makes a lot more sense KHTML -> webkit -> blink
