That's my point. Phosphorus is also plenty around. Yet it's practically unobtainable. We depend on phosphorus rock for our food production. There is no way around it.

I assume you mean storage space. There you run into the same problem if you scale the system. The proof still needs scarcity in whatever storage is made of. For many natural resources, the local concentration is key to viability. See phosph

This doesn't matter at all. It's a flaw in principle, which will sooner or later manifest. This is the case for any definition of "work" the system encodes, that comes down to the fatalistic reductionism of "increas

It's unobtanium anyway. Not even fusion energy will give us that. Most technological salvation promises, ignore the reality of our massive overexploitation and fossil carbon dependency. We don't have the building material and ener

Off-topic: How you english speakers pronounce 'Ada'? Like [a]ffirmative or {a}pex? '[A]da Lovelace' sounds so nice and soothing to me. It's a really beautiful name. However, just 'Ada' doesn't do any

Heat generation really is the stupidest way of doing things. With things like storage, at least you can reuse it after the fact. Tho, all these systems require some ressource scarcity and will inherently maintain/promote scarcity. This

Thunderbird has "move to junk" on 'J'. I haven't found a way to deactivate that. Ultra annoying. Evolution is fine, but I really wish Gnome's Mail and Calendar apps would get more love and development as they l

Risk of thrombosis decreases past a certain age. Young women got the highest risk. This seems to be bound to your individual thrombosis risk.

I think in Germany it was biased towards health care workers, who are more likely to be women. But this is interesting of course, since there are speculations about young women's baseline increased thrombosis risk weighing in on the st

The carbon cycle is rather irrelevant. The trophic pyramid is what's to argue about. All the energy food provides comes from the sun hitting the land. We need to start there. Meat still only conserves 10% of the energy the plants provi

In the past "long term" side effects meant within weeks after the fact. This includes things like autoimmune disease. However, the statistical signal may only appear years later. The mRNA vaccines also don't "infect&quo

Normally you won't have an incidence rate this high, therefore you need to run the trails for longer to get enough people in the control group sick. Massive amounts of volunteers and a high prevalence made sound statistics possible in

Quite the incel take on "biology" and the female attention market... I mean for not being on one side and all. Comments like this scare me.

Telegram is not at all secure compared to Signal (in theory). However it has an awesome UI and lots of nice features (most of which are lost using secret chats). For the longest time these were exclusive features to telegram compared to Sig

I think the best use would be not microparticle-shedding plastics made from fast growing plants, deposited in the ground as carbon sinks. Something degradable, but not in anaerobic conditions.

On many systems you were able to get root access by simply leaving the password empty. While relevant getting root is still different from getting the encryption keys.

I doubt these things are taking into account as it's mostly speculation. I am pretty sure life expectancy had changed because excess mortality. This also doesn't really mean much for one-off events. E.g. maybe the pandemic will ha

Tho, one is a myth and straight racism; the other comes with women being chronically understudied. E.g. heart attack symptoms are different, some medication does work differently, women do need less vaccines, and so on. The mere assumpt

I don't think that's a valid point to make now. A 2013 macbook is a fundamentally different machine, much more modular. For the all soldered machines, ultra compact, we simply don't have the data. And for real "repair&qu

I honestly think it's problematic they don't have tests for these types of obvious leaks.

Saved you a click: Mastodon has no influencers commercializing their "influence". And the author thinks that bad and all. I think nobody expects Mastodon to replace twitter in every regard, and the author just complaining about
