It is fair enough to argue that Greenpeace in fact want renewables. However, that should be seen as an energy conservatism direction. The energy production needed to be supplied is not todays need, but the need of a future where we don&#x27

Fireplaces as a heat source is even more polluting than coal based energy as the exhausts are not cleaned. It is interesting to see how political activism as actively ruining the society by pushing people to worse technologies.

If your problem domain never expands to more than a couple of thousand elements that needs to be ordered, but really often (which is very often the case) the the bubble sort is the way to go (Especially if you have almost-sorted data making

The fee structure is the most interesting in my perspective. It would be interesting to see how an open source platform could combat this with a gas-fee structure using their own token economy. You'd need to get tokens to submit, which

The normal person add fuel to their car and expects emission from the car. The discourse on qualifying different forms of fuels is way more confusing. It is also dangerous. If we allow marketing of "net-zero" fuels, fossil fuel co

by madsbuch 4y ago
Yes, you are focusing on the entire life cycle. This is a bad argument, as you can employ the same argument with fossil fuels. Fuels emit CO2. we can produce fuels by sequestration.
494.
by madsbuch 4y ago
How? A kg of fuel should have roughly the same CO2 emission regardless of how it is produced? The thing it that synthetic fuels are cyclic. We collect the emitted CO2 again.

Synthetic fuels do not reduce emissions. The emissions are just not from fossil fuels. Or am I missing something?

Indifferent to how practical you might think it is, one can still hold the view that it is more feasible to combat climate change that way. Also, it is interesting to see, that you think it is more practical to eliminate air travel, than

There is a plethora of alternatives. Synthetic fuels and nuclear energy are well established. bio-fuels is another alternative (though it might not scale).

Maybe the commenter does not share the opinion that climate change should be addressed by reducing emissions. I definitely understand your sentiment. It is hard to restrain oneself of a good for some cause to see other people using it. In t

It is kind of funny. A couple of times articles on HN about complexity theory with assumed knowledge of terms like P-time or NP-hard. In these instances some commenters complained that they could not easily understand what it meant. I reall

Yes, I agree. Complexity theory is probably one of the least practical fields for software _engineers_, it can even work to a detriment, because you can discouraged to find solutions to problems. On the other hand, I have had great benefit
