Yeah, technically those are indirectly greenhouse gases, but just to note, the article linked points out that "Maritime transport accounts for 3.5% to 4%". It's double-digit percentages of some pollutants that are very bad

The "imperialist" model can still work fine if we want to stick with it. We can keep production in poorer countries with poor worker and environmental protections so long as those countries will clearly side with us and aren'

(Also not an expert.) In general I wouldn't expect US manufacturing to do a lot to lower production costs. More capacity in general obviously helps, and I could definitely see the US doing a lot to subsidize domestic production, if tha

A focus on where you can/should improve is definitely the most valuable, but positive feedback is part of that. Specifically, if you're actively working to address a deficiency, this is likely not true: > since my default is to

It's not guaranteed, but based on historical average returns for the stock market we frequently assume ~7% growth - ~3% inflation = 4% as the amount you can take out each year indefinitely while your inflation-adjusted principle stays

Yeah, I don't have a great answer to that question, but it certainly feels like there's a tangible wealth difference between "I can retire at standard retirement age" vs. "I can retire 15 years early". It'

TL;DR: $40k/year in exchange for working full time = not wealthy. $40k/year without having to work = wealthy. I consider $40k/year pretty good, and definitely enough for me to live comfortably on here in Austin TX (Source: I&

The question is whether the inflation exceeds interest. With index funds it generally doesn't, but I'm not sure about a savings account. Right now inflation easily beats a high interest savings account, but I'm not sure about

This is linking to the websites in question. It's not too different than GWS, except in that it's not linking to any sites that include back stories.

A lot of sites have a "Jump to Recipe" link. If this linked directly to that section, it'd be okay.

I just skimmed very briefly, and the above link seems to just be defining terms and establishing a model of homelessness. Part 2[0] has the first part of the plan, "mitigation", which seems to boil down to add a bunch of prefab

Yeah, we still use ICE cars, which unfortunate, but outside of greenhouse gases they're immensely less polluting than they used to be[0]. 1968->2010 reduced NO 99%, CO 95%, and particulate matter 99.92%. (I'm guessing this is l

Same here. Looking through recent release highlights, Mojave adding Dark Mode is the mot recent stand-out I spotted, and even that I don't really care about all that much. Universal Control has potential to be valuable.

It doesn't sound like there's a single root cause. Yes, allowing for higher stacking expands the buffer, but proper coordination could have kept the buffer from hitting capacity in the first place, and is necessary to prevent the

I meant Stephen Hawking. Hadn't thought about Dawkins at all. I was specifically thinking about physicists in that case, though I guess Neil deGrasse Tyson and Carl Sagan fall under that umbrella.

I was saying Terry Tao specifically for living people. I also don't know a ton about him, but as someone in the math scene, he's the only modern-day mathematician I hear about with any regularity.

If I counted correctly, the front page currently has 2 crypto stories and 28 non-crypto stories. Should probably wait until it's over 8% cryptocurrency content before renaming.

I'm guessing that's new for the 13" or for the M1, but my 16‑inch MacBook Pro purchased last year had 64GB of memory. (Looks like it's considered a 2019 model, despite being purchased in September 2020).
