I am a German developer with a German developer salary (between 60k€ and 70k€ to provide a ballpark estimate) and I live in the center of a large, well-known German city. The area is extremely nice except for parking and I live in a ~70sqm

This comment is randomly bashing Apple for not acting ecologically while suggesting that alternatives are somehow better. Apple can and should be criticized for shitty environmental behavior when you can actually back up your claim. Not tha

I mean the facts stated aren't wrong, really. The reaction to it may be neurotic but isn't unreasonable. We create these toxic circumstances and we have reached a time where we can surpass this. Fossil fuels and other pollutants w

But aren't these high salaries spent on high living costs as well? Presumably, the places where you make a lot of dev money are also expensive to live at, no?

Not for at least half the planet. Facts and reality aren't important or something to even consider. Observing the exposure of these widespread thought processes by means of social media has truly and deeply disturbed me. There is a goo

You are thinking of engineering the cars itself. However, in a factory like this, engineering is much more than that. Engineering, maintaining, and improving the factory won't be an exclusive gig from across the Atlantic (+ Great Plai

In case of Sonos - the speakers disconnected all the time. Taking off pihole completely solved the issue. I did not check for possible problematic URLs on the blacklists though.

by neuronic 7y ago
What lists are you using, which avoiding? My use of pihole constantly disrupted basic services such as Sonos. I can certainly find the URL culprits and resolve it, but I got tired of constantly doing so...

Fusion has the same advantages as fission but the disadvantages are reduced to a minuscule amount. CO2-neutral, stable energy generation independent of weather, season, time... with amounts large and stable enough to be independent of stora

We already are. Instead of gravity, magnetic fields are used to compress hot plasma and cause it to reach very high temperature levels to allow fusion. Temperature is basically atomic/molecular movement and the more energetic the movem

You can't just follow when R&D and production for a new aircraft take decades. First feasibility studies for a A380 type aircraft were done in the 1980s, expecting the market in the future. The first delivery to a customer was MSN

Then the solution will have be different than stopping to use oil but mitigate its negative effects.

by neuronic 7y ago
Are you suggesting that growth is infinite?

by neuronic 7y ago
The only solution would be to drastically reduce the value of oil and therefore make it uneconomic to dig it up. The easy-access oil is decreasing and extraction becomes more expensive.

On another note, as a German, I think the acceptability of mobile payments is slowly but surely increasing. In my town, all of the shops and restaurants I use take NFC payments and I pay with Apple Pay multiple times a day. An exception are

The attitude of "we can break it as much as we want because it will fix itself (in a few million years)" is so disturbing.

And your assumption was right. The original premise was "how can I get notified within seconds after tremors occur" and not "please send an email for me to read when I happen to use a desktop PC".

If I may add to your sentence, specifically the last claim in your quote is what puts their train of thought on a collision course with reality. Life adapts, when it can. The rate of change you mentioned ensures that a majority of life will

The question is what is Apple doing in their software development? From the outside, it looks like there are glaring issues within their engineering teams. iOS 11 was a complete disaster and it took an entire OS upgrade cycle (iOS 12) to co
