It was caused by feeding cows beef. You can’t spread prions by feeding them seaweed.

I did a startup with a toddler and a newborn when we got funded. Both the company and my marriage still exist, so I guess that's evidence that it is possible. But personally, I would not recommend it. Find a job you can spend lots of t

Depends on the person. Those of us with ties to lands within Chinese sphere of influence are rightly more cautious. Others just don’t care.

Industry and electric generation. Switch to hydrogen rather than carbon-based industrial processes, and nuclear power.

Page ES-7 gives a total amount for transportation, of which light duty vehicles is a percentage given in the pie chart. Multiply out and you get 12%. I’m on mobile now I’m not interested in delving further because 12% vs 16% doesn’t matter.

There are other ways CO2 or other greenhouse gasses are emitted besides burning fossil fuels. Examples include outgassing from construction (e.g. concrete), metal refineries, and livestock.

You’re missing the point. Fossil fuel usages is largely paid for by the poor. Gas to go to work, gas to transport food and cheap plastic goods to Walmart, etc. Poor people don’t have a choice in how they shop or how far away they live from

By your own link all light duty vehicles make up a mere 17% of emissions. Also if you track down the original report that pie chart is drawn from, you’ll find that is only considering direct fossil fuel combustion. Consider all sources and

The capability was very limited. Basically you could program a looping series of commands for newly manufactured units. "Go to this waypoint #1, then waypoint #2, then this final waypoint, then go back to the beginning and start again.

I played Total Annihilation back in the day. One thing that I remember standing out about it was the ability to automate production and tactics to a significant degree. I had factories pumping out drone ships with preprogrammed flight path

You mean thankfully SpaceX sued NASA for the right to compete and won.

You are getting down-voted because you are posting a knee-jerk emotional response. The poster you are originally replying to isn’t making any kind of comparison to European colonialism, you are. Then you are getting upset at your own compar

My question is about German law. Company time is relevant because a contract requires compensation in order to be in effect (which you are paid for under company time).

Ok sure, but I was asking a technical question about German law, not morality.

“Master key” goes back to 1577, which predates English involvement in the African slave trade.

That would make sense if this word in this connotation had any connection to slavery. It doesn’t.

While this actually happened, was it ever challenged in court? Because judges aren’t robots, and I find it highly unlikely that they would interpret so literally as to allow this loophole.

Your claim is made dubious by the fact that there exist OSI-approved open source licenses (e.g. BSD) which the FSF says do not qualify as free software licenses.

The math is such that the coefficient can never reach 1.

That was sloppy of me. Thank you for the correction. What I meant was that RMS advocates for “free as in [user] freedom,” whereas others wanted a word that just meant “free as in beer” unencumbered by all the other freedom-maintaining restr

Helium-3 from the moon will never be a commercially viable energy source. At best it might be captured incidentally as part of other mining operations and sold to research labs. There are just too many other fusion options that, while not a

The term “Open Source” was coined by Christine Peterson in the context of a discussion about a source available project which did not meet RMS’ viral conditions for “free software.” Peterson suggested “open source” as an alternative phrase,

To be fair, "Open Source" basically coined to mean "free software, but not as Stallman means it."
