Ban private cars from all inner cities, at least in Europe where there's acceptable public transport and alternatives. We need to reclaim our cities and revert the damage done by big auto. GM and others have screwed American city inhab

Even fast-tracked development will take 1-2 years. Edit: sorry, I basically repeated what the comment above said. Somehow I overlooked that...

Also depends on which demographic has been infected so there's of course some general bias as we don't have an even distribution across all age groups, sexes and profession, level of activity and and and ... For example, if predom

To me, nothing on Android seems to work on full speed, ever and I am seriously wondering if I have developed some strange and unreasonable cognitive bias (which would be scary). You can go into a store 1 day after <XYZ> flagship relea

Of course it's fast if you remove any sort of functionality from the net.

Will pilots need new training if they are already 777-certified? Complete noob here, so I am trying to improve my understanding.

In Germany people have rights and that complicates things, yes.

It's a great project for the technology alone but isn't the projected time frame too late? Where will we be 10 years from now with renewables? Also, if Rolls-Royce projects 2029 it doesn't mean it's done by 2029 and most

Solar is fusion and not fission [1]. If you can't even get that right, why should anyone take these weird pro-fission arguments seriously in 2020? The solution is to keep using existing nuclear power and develop renewables for replacem

That is true as long as the cost of lawsuits is higher than the potential gain from breaking the law. Companies knowingly break the law all the time, reek in profit and send out an army of lawyers to pay some minuscule fine that doesn'

Thank you for this comment, it's a real value addition to the discussion for me.

It's also the discipline to clean up, keep it ordered and throw things out that aren't useful anymore.

The question is a bit odd if you are human, but let me explain this in short terms. Modern lifestyle has stripped many of us of essential, real problems. By far not all, of course, but definitely the generally well-paid IT crowd on HN. So

Interestingly this appears like the same misconception and misdirection that lets people be deluded by their idea of "science". A field that should be an ideal, inherently good space for knowledge and humanity to expand is in fact

I get ads in German public broadcasting for which I am (effectively) paying a tax. I get ads in "premium" streaming services which I directly pay (!) for. Fuck everything about this.

Agreed, and I obviously suffer from some bias since I could not experience college in both countries. But the microeconomics angle seemed more personal - as in attempting to describe interaction between people with some extrapolation to lar

I wonder as well. The self-proclaimed world's largest spa, Therme Erding [1], is the result of an oil drilling attempt hitting a hot sulphur/fluoride spring instead at ~2.3km depth. Today, it powers the entire spa and close by c

I studied abroad in the US as a European and the first sentence the microeconomics professor blurts out: "Greed is good." At that point I wasn't as gobsmacked anymore because several days before some 17 year old girl yelled i

As a past Android user (still trying the new flagships out at stores every year) I find myself to just not be bothered by many "issues" in iOS proclaimed by Android users. Default browser not Firefox? Meh... it barely even happens

No you definitely cannot. I use FF on iOS and it doesn't really bother me but in the rare event when I am opening links outside of FF (email etc.) then Safari pops open. Same with Maps.

Our own trash is shipped to Asia first and then it ends up in some of those rivers. We pay Asian countries a lot to take our garbage.

Yes! I'd just be careful to assume that people who are smart enough to program aren't smart enough to knowingly do so. Competitions in modern times are nearly always an artificial construct. Who cares if you coast at your job as l
