Weird relic companies like ElSevier and incentives exist to keep barriers up unfortunately. That said I do love/agree with open sourcing much of the stored knowledge funded by govt.

Maybe it’s just a matter of time until the next iPhone has its cameras separated similar to the width of human eyes.

That was a lot of setup for 1-2 paragraphs of why it’s not a good idea. I’m not sure the preceding text really illuminated why billionaires wouldn’t be paying much from the proposed changes, which was mentioned in the conclusion. The idea o

Does the survey mention who’s going to pay for it? Seems to be a running issue for this kind of pre-legislation sentiment research

I think AR related murders per annum are lower than the number of pneumonia, which is around 1000/year. Pistols are much scarier and commonly used for crimes because they can be concealed. So this really isn’t as scary as it’s made out

While I don’t disagree with the sentiment, the primary alternative social media platform would be TikTok, which is far more questionable in its handling of data than FB Group.

They’ve managed to maintain their wealth in social order largely because they’re neighbors of the British and friendly with them. And they’re part of NATO. When Philips struck at Ekofisk some very smart people in the US/UK came to help

Again, it sounds good behind a computer or to an engineer looking for a solution, but nature has a way of connecting itself with itself. Waste would have to pass through the shallows of the borehole which is a risk, and then the well remain

Sounds lovely on paper, but nobody wants to store it on their property. Groundwater intrusion is a clear risk. Oil companies already have (minor) problems with fracking fluids. Nuclear waste is orders of magnitude more risky. It’s not centu

Having spent >15 years in and around energy, I prefer to setter clear of value judgments on energy sources. Nuclear power is green for the duration of our lifetimes, at the cost of a near eternity of fallout.

Is this even legal at the federal level? It’s one thing to decline to do business with another state, it’s another to ban travel and trade.

Many of those types of businesses aren’t able to stay afloat with higher labor costs, it’s that dire for them too.

I suspected something like this would happen. As an adult company they thrive on controversy. If they found a group willing to invest at the scale that they need, sparking controversy like this is low hanging fruit for exposure and (hopeful

Agree with most of the observations but... what does climate change have to do with metropolitan inequality? All other factors being equal, high city populations relative to the countryside should be more resource efficient.

This! The process you’re describing is called lifecycle analysis and it’s complicated. The greenest building is something like a giant tent, high on total resource efficiency but lower on comfort. There are tradeoffs to consider and a lot o

As a former geologist, it’s always awesome to see some one interested in geology. If you’re into infill from normal faulting, you might like reading up on the US Basin and Range—that’s all extension and basin fill

That’s a great start to understanding flows of carbon and other substances through the ecosystem! I’d like to add that much of the feed is grown using fertilizer, which is often/typically produced via fossil-fuel consuming processes (s

The opposing crowd and lack of familiarity with the stadium come to mind. It’s pretty common to hear athletes comment on these aspects of away games. That’s not to say circadian rhythms don’t have an affect, I’m sure they do. The study’s me

Fun and well thought out approach to a question we’ve all had for sports. I don’t understand why the authors attributed the impact on performance to circadian rhythms, seems like they just threw it in there as a possible explanation for the

EU organic milk comes from cows who are only allowed to be administered antibiotics if they get sick. Those cows are removed from the herd when sick, but are allowed to re-enter the organic herd after they are taken off the antibiotics.

Most organic milk is UHT, but not shelf stable since it’s not aseptically packaged. Without aseptic packaging UHT milk lasts for 90-120 days refrigerated.

It’s pretty clear that battery technology and cost efficiency is going to have to advance substantially before it can have a meaningful impact on air transport. Blimps might be a slight exception.

$11M isn’t trivial, but for a company that’s got billions in turnover it’s not significant either. Top brass will say “Let’s fix that” and move on.

I think Saudi Aramco was hacked a few years back too. Having worked at a major oil company, it doesn’t surprise me that these things happen. It’s not that anybody is particularly unintelligent, moreso that large sometimes sleepy companies h
