Interesting ideas- kind of, but the interesting ideas are not new. Dimensionality is one of the oldest formulated motor-related problems. Hybrid rotors are certainly an active area. The motor is a pretty novel and clever way to draw all

that's a strong argument for having a single priority... Even (generously, IMO) assuming severity represents a tangible thing like a threat to code quality or system stability/debugging, a developer should not be the one trying to

As always, also worth noting that this is literally acid rain. Putting it in the stratosphere is intended to lessen the amount of acid rain per warming averted, but it's still the exact same chemicals that caused acid rain. There are

It's very much an art. Gotta have the right paper, printer, and temperature application, and there's no good way to know until you have a feel for it. Plus finding a laser printer is a hassle now.

That's exactly what I mean by math-oriented- it's good for people who understand things in terms of equations. If that's all you need to be comfortable, it's great and you can very quickly find what you want to know. T

There is one pollutant that oceanic shipping is worse at: SO2. SO2 happens to be a reverse-greenhouse gas, so it actually cancels out most of oceanic shipping's CO2. Because it creates smog and acid rain there is still a huge interna

You are off by an order of magnitude. Global oceanic shipping of all kinds is <3% of anthropogenic CO2[1]. Closer to 1.5-2% if you include land use changes. You are correct about cruise ships, although it's more like 2-3x. [1]: h

Fuck off. Roy Spencer is an Evangelical creationist who wrote a book about evolution being wrong. He believes humans have no affect on global warming and that more CO2 in the atmosphere is a good thing: https://skepticalscience

The study was on measurements taken in the early 1900s, not 1800s. Also, it's not like technology suddenly started in the 30s or something. Liquid nitrogen was first produced in 1883. The periodic table was published in 1869. Cells

No, that's silly. Unless mammals are magic, the only way a species could possibly know about population is by the number of individuals it sees locally, and the number they see. That would cause there to be a huge and noticeable diff

Typo, I meant the very early 1900s not the very early 1990s. Aspirin was prescription only until 1915. The story of willowfine is roughly as well known as penicillin. The point is that in 1910-1920 people didn't carry NSAIDs in their

Since 1900 CO2 has gone from 300 ppm to 420 ppm. That study looks at 900+ ppm CO2. They also controlled that by doubling the ventilation speed of the room, which would definitely have had secondary effects. More importantly, you can'
