It is hard to say how many people died from chernobyl. Some accounts say more than 30k( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_and_radiation_... ) Your link shows ~200 from wind turbines.

Technology could also make life worse. It has caused the rise of the middle class and democracy, but now it seems like technology is moving us back towards feudalism or something like it. It feels like democracy is not going to survive soci

Yes, it was very challenging. It is in the thousands. In the trailer that is in the neighborhood of 4-5k soldiers. We are still deciding how many will go in the final game. But the number would only go up from the trailer(The trailer is ess

That's my game! We've been working on the tech for about 5 years. I have had a lot of conversations about this exact topic.

It never used to be illegal to change genders. Suddenly making it so the govt can invade other people's lives is an extreme position.

We'll probably just figure out a way to switch to farming these fish or something very similar to them once we finish destroying the wild ones in the ocean.

AI is going to replace most non physical jobs. Right now it is a helper, but soon it will be much more. I also think that the way it allows consolidation of power while hollowing out the working middle and upper class is going to lead to an

At best we invite a dystopian future. At worst our own annihilation. It is crazy how powerless we are to stop it from happening.

TikTok and instagram are full of things that are porn or are almost porn. Same with Reddit. It is unrealistic to lock your kids out of all social media.

That is an improvement over gold though, which has an insane cost to move from the us to china.

by pfisch 3y ago
People don't really buy things on a daily basis with gold either, and 99% of its valuation is based on speculation.

Seems like planting trees is easy enough? What is wrong with projects like that?

Seems like you just end up with a mixed population that eventually just becomes the new "native" population.

Even calling BP code from C++ goes through an interop layer and is still much slower vs the equivalent C++. I'm not saying never use BP, but everyone should realize the performance cost of using BPs is quite high.

Do some kind of looping math operation and benchmark it. https://youtu.be/8gVixDglpQ4?t=75 Blueprints are extremely slow vs C++

Blueprints have terrible performance. They just do. Even trying to compile them into c++ doesn't work well. Blueprints run at least 100x-1000x slower than equivalent c++. This isn't even discussing working with multiple coders and

Oil could potentially get priced out for most uses in the next 10-15 years.

What it leads to is a massive elderly population that the young population is unable to support, and a falling GDP, falling house prices, etc.

Of course you can. Why couldn't you?

Pretty sure letting population enter freefall will start a race to the bottom that will destroy any country. Countries with fertility rates of 1.5 shouldn't be throwing stones at immigration.

I mean, we have to pay someone to guarantee coverage in the event of catastrophic losses. You might even call them insurance companies.

While that is fine, it seems like we should also continue to decarbonize right? I'm personally all for geoengineering solutions, but even that is just a bandaid. We do need to address the core problem here. We are having record high he

Those weren't really the public square or a mass communication system though. You're kinda comparing apples and oranges.

There is really no point in us history where getting your viewpoint out there wasn't done with media like newspapers. You could always go yell at people in the street like a crazy person. You still can.

The mail wasn't really public discourse though. Newspapers/tv/radio were, and no one was giving nazi's equal time on every issue. Newspapers only ever published what they wanted to, censoring any viewpoint they felt like
