No, the problem is many people cannot think within the new reality. Even in the US there are power lines almost everywhere ( https://hifld-geoplatform.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/geopl... ), so nothing prevents from ins

Caps lock is where and how it is because its importance for typewriters. When you can’t change fonts, caps are important to realize hierarchy. I agree the contexts have now changed.

That’s a good point though. Many tell lobbies are at work, but I think many people can’t take such a harsh change, and I can understand that. We have to focus on changing step by step. The level at which renewables are taking over in many c

Yeah the jet stream is clearly slowing down because the temperature difference with the arctic is lower than before. But to be honest I don’t care much about my karma here. Thanks for the nice answer in any case

The lack of rain comes from the same climate emergency though, this has been confirmed scientifically as well.

You could yes, however you’ll probably have to write your configuration from scratch. You’ll have to define the JavaScript entry files (those that call the others) and put that into your HTMLs. Depending on how many scripts etc you have thi

Right, the associated talking point is that it might be impossible to replace the worlds cars fast enough to reduce the emissions in the next 5 years. Also some people think battery production will hit a hard limit because of resources. I c

No, the European system allows you to use that for studying for little money, learning a new job etc as well. It’s not perfect but (western) Europe hasn’t seen this huge inequality growth in the last decades AFAIK

If everyone does that, all your stock won’t be worse much when the world will be either at war or starving. People have kinda forgot to think long term clearly. Also, you must live in a country where the politics are very anti climate. In m

I have the same question, it would seem a quick win to have optimized house colors for the current temperatures. Many hot countries do it right, but especially northern architecture hasn’t adapted as well. Also, too much unshadowed windows.

From what I see in companies, probably half of the data and workloads out there are pretty much useless or barely used. At home, I think most of us could do a better job by shutting down everything when we are away.

Thing is, you probably should, even if you don't want it. Being in front of a screen 9 hours a day is already too much for long term health ( cough cough looking myself in the mirror ).

Interesting point of view, from my European view they seem like totally frivolous vanity items that are not only bad taste but actively destroy the planet. We're in the middle of a climate and resource crisis, and you could easily make

Car is probably not the right solution for all those people then. Even I wish I could reduce my dependency on cars.

I don’t think it is because I can’t follow people (can I??). At least my use of it is only hitting the homepage and the occasional search. More similar to a newspaper with better comments. I agree that HN is social as in community but “soci

The Economist was of the few publications to investigate “what if” before Brexit while almost all others dismissed that scenario. They might not be perfect but they try and they investigate.

This is not true. The stock market is usually valued after the dividends it can pay over a certain number of years, somewhat between 10 and 20. It’s not infinite. If no further grow comes that’s it and the stock keeps it value and will keep

The action of the FED was clearly faster, heavier and in the end better than the ECB. As a result, the FED was able to increase the interest rates faster. Sure it was not perfect but "good enough".
