You can get rid of factory farming without going vegan.

Not sure where you are getting your information, even in our city of 250k the hospitals were full and turning away care.

Apple gets incredibly high margins on their products probably leaving more play room. Is there any evidence that mobile chip makers who do not also create/own the device and are in a race to the bottom on price actually get decent retu

Keto isn't an elimination diet, it's more of a reduction diet (people choose different levels of carbs ranging from the < 10 hardcore crowd to the 30-50g crowd). You can eat a lot of veggies, certain types of fruits, meat, nut

I guess I was just saying that humans incentivize energy consumption, not capitalism. Capitalism maybe just facilitates it since that is what people want? That was my premise.

Energy is the lifeblood of humanity. We can't demonize it, the only path forward is to embrace it and find a way to utilize the near infinite energy available to us in the universe in a fashion that is environmentally safe. Also capit

I've only maybe used differentiation/integration a few times in my professional career (use it more on personal projects actually). That said, having a solid intuition about first/second order derivatives, rates of change,

Oh no I believe it and I am against those practices very much! But I feel like lawns are demonized when they don't need to be if properly done. There are a lot of benefits to lawns that are just being flat out ignored in a large part

There are so many products because people are ignorant and just want an easy fix. It's pure laziness and has nothing to do with having a healthy lawn. There's a lot of money in laziness :) A healthy lawn really doesn't requ

Pouring chemicals? Maybe a few do but I only apply one application of pre-emergent a year and then one application of fertilizer in the fall. That's not really pouring chemicals. In fact nature seems to thrive in our lawn.

I mow weekly and we have tons of insects, rabbits, and frogs. So many so it's a problem. I don't think they are very correlated.

AAPL might be a safe bet, but maybe not? I'm sure the company will be profitable for quite some time but stock prices are not driven by profits as you know. They are built on expectations. A lot of the expectation for Apple is built

I'm not even sure it has anything to do with that. Boring & tedious parts exist in many video games. IMO, It's that you don't need to buy millions in assets using debt to generate a profit at great risk based on many fact

I'll give you that (although that principle is so generic it isn't even actionable in practice). But if you asked the average person in the U.S. who has a portfolio (I believe it's only like 50% of Americans hold stock), I&#x

Wow that's sad, I was really excited by the promise of this project. But going cloud native means I won't be able to use it in any of my projects any time soon.

You might be surprised. In my experience many people have no idea what a stock actually is or how the market works and prices are "determined". I have run into so many folks that even have a 401(k) and don't even know they

You could replace what you said with stocks, investing, and finance in general actually.

Wow that's crazy, I've used quite a few bank websites and never had that happen. Been using Firefox as a daily driver since it first released. I think that would make me question my bank more than my browser.

I'm not sure about in Europe, but in the U.S. at least a substantial portion of power generation is already from renewables. That doesn't really make it free, or necessarily even cheaper depending on the circumstances.

I've spent quite a bit on WiFi in my house and I can get almost gigabit speeds over 6e. But latency is terrible. I have no idea how they'd manage that.

That statement will be true forever. It doesn’t tell you much.

If I am being compensated a premium $/kwh for each kwh drawn then we have no problem. Otherwise I'll just not offer my battery by disconnecting it when not charging.
834.
by nightski 4y ago
That doesn't really matter. If you own a resource, and I utilize it, are you going to let me do so without compensating you in some fashion? If so I'll take you up on that offer. I have no problems with encouraging people to cha

So electric car owners need to just cover all the battery wear out of their own pockets? Wouldn't that make electric cars even more expensive since battery replacement will be needed more often?

This is a false dichotomy. One can both take data into account and go with their gut after having evaluated such data. But data, by it's very nature, is rearward looking. It is really dangerous to become a solely data driven person&

Not everyone wants those things though. In fact, I could see it being detrimental because then you'd attract a lot of people who only care about those things instead of science itself. I think we should celebrate scientific achievemen

I'm curious, what would be the right amount in your opinion? How would you value it?

Standards are only as open as their implementations. The fact that google isn’t really involving anyone in this and first introduced it in a closed door hush hush event makes me extremely skeptical.

Technology is an enabler. Your hypothetical scenario of Tom Cruise's legacy lasting to Mission Impossible 57 is not probable imo. People get bored. Instead we'll probably see a bunch of crap, but on top of that crap it will allo
