There many reports that the lack of insects made birds a greater threat for crops, compared to the past. [*] What is your experience, would you concur that these birds were not as much as a threat some decades ago? [*] Many reports also ind

It's not mosquitoes per se, but the plasmodia they carry, that kill people. So, if we could design a cure for mosquitoes, that would be really a good thing for both humans and nature. Maybe similar to what we already do with wolbachia

Is there one such distrib that is not PulseAudio based? (and possibly also without SystemD). I liked quite a lot Alsa/Jack based audio management, but nowadays it seems more and more implemented over a PulseAudio layer, which I would t

What if we do not flood it, but instead make circulate a lot of salt water in open-roofed canals (but with leak-proof floor and walls) crisscrossing the desert? Then the humidity would trigger rains and help grow a vegetation, and the salt

It seems that they would leak so easily to the wild, that I would tersely recommend against introducing them to any additional country, even if it is in a closed industrial facility...

This guy is the real role model of our field (computer science). Not a Steve Job, not an Elon Musk. Hao Jiang (Coolwulf) is who we should all aspirate to be. Fsck money already, we have the power to save live beings.

Lol why would it be more difficult with blockchain? If it is a chip, then maybe. Even more if the chip was like a yubikey with challenge-response (but it isn't).

That confirms something I suspected: blockchain adds nothing to this solution, and is present only because of the fad.

Forestry in Japan is a disaster nowadays. Both driven by the lack of wood on the market and by the bad habit of "accounting fraud" in Japan -- the count of cut trees is systematically under-reported by the timber corporations. Thi

But then you depend on West Africa for uranium. It's not a coincidence if Russian groups are in Mali, maybe they have an eye on Niger's mines.

What you are right about is that both consumer and production endpoints transitions must be synchronized. But they should still happen very fast. The right conclusion is that now they need to buff up the power grid extremely quickly TOO (it

I think that's the right time to ask people to make the change, on the contrary, as it's the middle of the gas crisis (through geopolitical reasons). Governments are trying hard to artificially keep the prices low, but the reality

Thank you. I really thought Nietzsche had taken the real Zoroaster as basis, but you're right (as well as the other sibling commentator), it seems to be just the name.

by henearkr 5y ago
Thanks. I thought it was more deeply related, but I was wrong.

In Japan, before the snap elections that happened this year, the government paid a propaganda staff to denigrate the congress members of the main opposition party (CDP) on Twitter. You can search for "Dappi", that was the name of
