I doubt it will ever settle. See: Abkhazia and South Osetia. Russia has a history of creating frozen conflicts to make life painful for its neighbours

I agree, and chimed in with a few comments to a similar effect. What's especially frustrating is how shortsighted the Malthusian "degrowth" response is. It honestly feels like people don't realise that "the West&quo

I really fail to see how suggesting to read IPCC reports instead of random out-of-context papers is "hubris".

The ozone hole stabilising and recovering while we don't emit PFCs anymore is solving the issue. Acid rain is so real it has its own big Wiki article [0] and was solved through sulfur emission controls. Leaded petrol use stopped, asbes

Whose emissions? Western emissions (yes, including carbon embodied in imported goods) are falling for a decade both in Europe and in the US [1], both per capita and total. Sure, there are six more billion people on the planet that can&#x2

I suspect you might be experiencing the classic freshman medical student syndrome. The papers (or medical studies) need to be contextualised, and that contextualisation takes lots more of knowledge than just reading some papers casually. In

We are focusing on it plenty enough. The timeframes for serious climate change are measured in half-a-centuries, remember how much changed in the last decade? Solar got massively cheaper, it became possible to convince countries to reduce t

Indeed. It's also just that people don't remember the issues of the yesterday, they just disappear without much reflection. Remember ozone layer hole? Acid rains? Leaded petrol? Asbestos causing lung cancers? All sorted out when w

This is such a poor argument. - the GP haven't said "fuck climate change", you did. There is no contradiction there, we can try and solve more than one issue at once. - climate change objectively speaking kills way less peopl

Imagine a court that consistently rules in favour of a richer party. Imagine that the richer party is not THAT interested in doing business with you, so they can tell you to take it or leave it. How do you think it will work?

Ideally try to avoid using Celery at all. It's the most consistently buggy, poorly documented, worst quality major Python project I have used so far. Here is a fresh example: they deprecated CELERY_ prefixes in Django settings for some

Keep in mind that Fastly's C@E might not even be needed, as you get VCL as standard. You don't check pre-made boxes, you write a non-Turing complete but quite powerful language that gets atomically deployed to their whole CDN in a

It would be nice for the first person to actually own it and not just say "I have no idea who put it into our TOS". Besides, it's either disingenuous or something is seriously broken in Cloudflare if their CEO is more attenti

Most (all?) people on incomes like that practice subsistence farming and/or natural economy. Also, state pension for many Russians (and Russia usually isn't considered a very poor country) is in the range of $130, which is just ab

Agricultural output is usually per unit of land and/or inputs, so more output means less land, less pollution, and less ecological damage for a fixed amount of food produced. If some fields can be reforested instead, it'd pull car

Same as Macron's: spending time and effort on reliable generation (i.e. nuclear) instead of wasting it on feel-good drop-in-a-bucket non-solutions. Every single one of those houses can be cooled or heated up if you have energy availabl

I invite you to come up with a "heated up pile of rocks" solution for those places: https://i.redd.it/5bgjdbyj08sz.jpg https://i.redd.it/hu4ljikj0ej31.jpg https://i.redd.it/gonyuxg

Trouble is, it's nowhere near enough. Cases you mentioned (charging personal cars, heating/cooling down houses) are relatively small. Let's be generous and say it's 20% of overall energy consumption. For comparison, last

Another option would be using Fastly and writing something as simple as this (literally under 10 lines): https://fiddle.fastlydemo.net/fiddle/9069876a It probably doesn't handle url encoded strings because I came

That's what I love about Barbican in London. It's really hard to convey in pictures, but despite being a brutalist building, it's totally unpredictable and different at every turn and is alive in a much deeper sense than &quo

You can also use Zopfli to get a bit higher compression at the expense of longer compression times: https://github.com/google/zopfli

Which is exactly the argument big studios used to argue for DRM. NFT is (quite literally) DRM, rebranded and ostensibly accessible to the masses, but with all the caveats amplified accordingly and with a huge energy cost attached.
