Can we be even sure that earth (and everything else from universes to ourselves) exists in the first place? Maybe we are just very complicated simulation faking it? Is or can we possibly have any strong proof for it? Stronger than Occam’s r

Most of your yearly 15 tons is emitted via specific exhaust pipes, where capture part is quite easy problem, even without these cooling towers. The big problem is what to do with all of it: there is no commercial use/market, especially

I only trust reviews of persons I personally know. At least I know the person exists. However, many of these FB likes seem to be over-motivated by some campign trick, but I also know already who are usual suspects there, so can filter them

Which day in Paris? Single accident did not increase overall air travel safety significantly, regardless of what impression you could get from the press.

Baltic current route could be: Sat morning (weekend-only) Vilnius to Daugavpils local, to Riga local, to Valga local. Sunday morning to Tartu one modern train and then express to Tallinn. Overnight to Petersburg and finally supermodern expr

Neurons (soul) are easier part. You’d need to replicate also meat (body) part and we are now at about 0% of this. Our problems in 2050 are easy to predict through: we’ll be struggeling in deep levels of the climate crisis with 99.9% probabi

You might have here answer to the ”Where is everybody” question. Space is not economically viable. Not for us, not for the others. Not even in a billion years, literally.

We dont have toilets. So pissing less to the pool is basically best we can do.

It actually can be proportional. What do rich do with their money? More money with factories, mines, refineries etc they own directly or via funds, and exactly these are taxed.

Local producing of almonds in greenhouses would be way more carbon-intensive than shipping them from California. This would mean growing only local crops

It is about per ton emissions. Ship tons >>> aviation.

More precise would be: ”idea that democracy is best-for-anyone solution is sooo 20th century”. It is probably best for many, maybe most, but the others need to find their own local best. People can be equal, but history, culture, neighbourh

They dont have Serbian one to resolve this issue. Or even more relevant ones like Russia (remember Crimea).

This is surprisingly difficult task if you need it to work really globally and accurately. You need specific, detailed and uptodate map data for it, and timezones change somewhere in the world all the time. Especially daylight savigs. In 99

Can you kill specific competitor by stealing secretly their technical IP at all? You would not make them any weaker. You would get yourself stronger, but that would be general technical advantage, against everyone in the market. Different s

That’s the public message. Their HR will probably cherry pick some, sometimes even such scammers happen to have not yet corrupt talent. Other than that the IP situation would be the only sensible explanation of this deal.

It is a bit syrreal to read about low probability/high impact risks while we have a very high probability/catastrophic impact event already started.

Well, define winning. Here the looser side(s) still exists not only as a nation, but also as flourishing economy, human rights, democracy, welfare etc. Russia has only the yearly parades.

Mapbox tries to replace Google maps, ESRI is different category which is only slowly challenged by enterprise vendors (Azure and other clouds) and FOSS: PostGIS and other sptially enabled databases which have more and more geo features, mak

Video calls are like single-room IRC 20 years ago, before PM, threads etc within same room were added. Probably just matter of months when we will see subrooms, side-channel whisper, history of transcribed logs and many other additions also

It is not just ”altruistic”. The idea is clever: they loose <0.1% inactive users but will win new ones blocked now behind worry ”what if I will not really use it”. Their bet is that the second group could be larger than first, and by ord

Limit with PostGIS is that it uses “Simple features model” - OSM model is way more, not less complex: topology (object element hierarchy/links), versioning, editing metadata, schemaless tags etc - none of them were possible in plain po

Does any juristiction require all these unilateral (in any sense) TOS to be pre-reviewed and approved as “fair and clear” by a public autority? It feels so elementary to me that I’m really surprised why not everyone is demanding it as basic

I tried, it does not work that way if you think. Or at least your “population” spec should be not arbitrary current administrative region or country, but specific virus spread area, which is very difficult to get data. You’ll get weird abso
