Another working idea from me would be that if someone really hates cookies, and somehow manages to live over consequences. then these should be just disabled in the browser side, either globally or per site. Server-side cookie warning solut

Sure, I know why everyone has to show them legally. But if noone reads them really, and mindlessly clicks through, then it serves 0% of the intended purpose. Protection measure what does not do anything really useful (just avoiding regulato

Making a basic mask to protect for “USA nuclear attack” was mandatory lesson in all Soviet region schools. It takes less time and skills than whining about supplies here. China has has won us by creation of total learned helplessness?

Brutal truth is that not only consumers/customers, but also the climate does not care about saving on energy use. Consuming of energy is not a problem, only producing it is. Wasting energy does not generate any greenhouse gases or poll

US starts 3rd World War (in a sense) by attacking Iran. This will destroy most of our economy, with possible nuclear impacts involved. Coincidentially, all this also reduces our economy and alas global greenhouse pollution more than Paris a

It would be fair if the ones who did all the pollution (and also got the benefits from it) would clean the mess up now.

Well I lived in SU for 15 years. There was joke that the Party declared that “in next 5 years we will catch US”. Smarter ones told “lets catch, but no bypass”. “Why not bypass also?” “Then they will see our naked ass”. Totally true. Most of

Doesn’t it? In very basic level price=cost of input materials+workforce+profit. Amount of needed work is directly correlated to complexity. Therefore with other variables same simpler should mean cheaper. Here some other variables may be no

I lately saw presentation of VW also claiming how EV is several times “simpler” and “less parts”, and then the next slide was that their next gen similar size car is “only” about 2 times more expensive than ICE. 2 times simpler should conve

Legally does it really matter what is your specific price point or development model? Also it does nor matter what is your residency, if you publish it in Europe (or country X) then at least in theory you need to follow the local laws. How&

I see it very similar to 20th century space tech. Yes, they are technically providing something unthinkable otherwise. But what is their real utility? Most if not all the biggest civil utilities like remote sensing, radio communication and

Maybe some years ago it was just models. By now we have also a lot of direct data. Make yourself up to date with recent developments.

Ok, but what user programs will we really need then for it? Other than re-building technology. Isn't "too much technology" basically the single biggest root issue of current state of humankind, and planet in general?

I'm not sure that "desktop Linux machine" is really a thing. I hate to feel that Linux has won servers and IoT, maybe mobile, but clearly lost desktop. Desktop is a dying thing by itself, so not bad after all.

One golden rule of businesses (or any investments) is that you should not put your eggs to single basket. With development of mobile apps you just do it, you are totally in mercy of a couple of gatekeepers, like it or not. I would rather fo

The root problem is that we consume too much energy and other resources, increasingly. Both per capita and in total. Our biological instinct is to grow in numbers as much as we can, and economical incentive is to sell (and consume) more an

Any method in scale of over 1% impact is earth shattering, as we need just 100 such things to save the world. Even 0.1% “market share” target would be awesome. It is a complex problem and it is resolvable by hudreds, maybe thousands small r

In utility scale the only usable thing now is hydro pump station like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kruonis_Pumped_Storage_Plant . Requires luck with geography: natural elevation and water not too far away.
