Well, I don't know about that, but it's certainly good for the world. :)

Everyone sing with me now: "Correlation does not imply causation!" :D

Pushwagner printouts are sold for a ludicrous amount of money here in Oslo. No reason demo scene guys shouldn't be able to do that also.

I just want to use this moment to thank the creators of Sublime Text. Thank you for an awesome text editor. Who knew it could make editing life so much simpler!

Very inspirational. Actually I think I'll send it to a fantasy author friend of mine!

Caprica is actually a very good series, often forgotten in the shadow of Battlestar Galactica. But then it doesn't really feature cool spaceships. ;)

What will it matter? You'll still be dead. Will your machine likeness be anything like you, except in simulation? Or will it simply be an empty Chinese room, giving your loved ones a doll-shell to hold onto, like in a cruel Harry Harlo

This was a really nice demo! It can even be used to understand concepts used in the HTML5 canvas, such as aliasing. Hell, it could possibly used as en entry to learning how to program ray tracers. At the bare bones, construction of complex

Oh, they are, of course, like anyone else. But they have directly paying clients to please, and thus they have a much more important reputation to keep. If any foul play is caught, they stand to lose business, and thus money, while politica

You guys have no sense of humour. Methane, on the other hand...

If you look to Bernie's wonderworld, Norway (where I'm from), all that is taken care of privately. However the credit and debt registry companies are obliged by law to inform customers when a check-up is done on them. It's qu

I wouldn't worry too much. Good working conditions are a boon to both the employer and the employee. A good union will negotiate that to the benefit of both. The reason is simple. If union negotiations lead to worse profits, then emplo

I used to wonder what those small pricks of light were, that would travel accross the night sky. Then someone told me they were satellites, and my whole UFO dream was busted. :)

I wonder how much CO² you could sequester from the atmosphere per year by removing just one cargo ship.

This just in: Flying algae seen returning to the atmosphere!!1 :D

AFAIK the article didn't make a claim about storage, only how much more CO² this contraption "sucks up" compared to a certain volume of forest.

There is also a big forest fire in Siberia, but I can't remember seeing anything on it in the Norwegian press. There are some stories about the Amazon fire, though. Perhaps the one in Siberia is less dangerous? I don't know! Why i

No. I completely agree with you. I'm just lamenting about the people I meet, who deny all this, outside logic.

I read that a single cargo ship pollutes more than the entire car park of many countries(!), and so I figured, it's just common sense to support autonomous sail ships. I don't know how much pollution we could save, but I'm gu

There are people who stand ready to deny that cartoon too, though... :/ I mean, not even common sense insurance talk works on these guys. Here, kitty, kitty, insurance can save you (and me) from the cancer known as end of the world. No

I think nobody is commenting because it makes them feel helpless... It's sad, but what can one man do about it? I mean, I wish I could, but...

Because the bank would never let you borrow a billion dollars unless you could prove to them that you also have the income AND the discipline to service such a loan. For that you'll have to show them quite a bit about your personal eco

As far as I know, fees and charges on the loan make it about 2% anyway. Still a pretty cheap loan, I'd say.

This Danish bank has a -0.5 percent interest rate. Source (in Danish language): https://www.jyskebank.dk/bolig/nyheder/realkredit-med-negati... It still looks like it'll actually be over 0 percent with fees a
