Vue has one big advantage over React for an Angular shop: the views are often trivial to port, while JSX is further syntactically from Angular templates.

I was unaware of the salmon paper, but I remember a bit later being very puzzled by a study about comatose/vegetative patients that included brain dead subjects as controls (and off course healthy subjects as well). I suppose it was me

Does your estimation take into account the energy absorbed by the plans we farm?
696.
by pygy_ 9y ago
Food limits how far the population can grow anyway. AFAIK the energy consumption (and thus the pollution) for the benefit of developed nations far outweighs the one that benefits the poorer ones whose population increases.

Given how destructive we are at 20 TW, I don't want to see what will happen when we consume more.

There's a hard ceiling on efficiency though. You can't get past (or even near) 100%. Historically efficiency improvements have lead to such an increase in productivity that the total energy consumption went up anyways.

Sustainable growth is an oxymoron. The economy is a dissipative system. It consumes energy/creates entropy to sustain itself. In its current state it already consumes more than the earth/sun can supply. Having it grow even more me

I may not have used the best phrasing: For a given tunnel length and ground composition, the cost is proportional to the area of the cross section.

Even a 4/3 multiplication of the diameter would have ~doubled the cross-section surface.

Weinstein was far more powerful and thus dangerous to his potential denouncers. His fall is a signal that abuse isn't tolerated anymore from people with his stature.

Thanks for the article. There's a class of problems that I wouldn't know how to solve using the constrains you propose. Given { a: { b: { c: 4 } }, d: 2 } return { 'a.b.c': 4, d: 2 } My go to solution u

Negative feedback is part of healthy ecosystems, because resources _are_ limited. These loops are necessary for long term survival. What you describe is cancer.

Until the robots decide to stop feeding their "owners". Money is a social construct. Power comes from controlling energetic resources, and automation is gradually stripping that control away from humans.

Provided resources are finite and the sun's output is constant, gradually limiting growth would indeed be wise unless we want to fall off a cliff at some point. ———— Edit: in response to your edit: Healthy ecosystems strive at equili

Monsanto's practices with GMO are problematic, and need to be denounced and made illegal (terminator genes, glyphosate resistant crops, etc...). GMO per se are IMO a net good, we're increasing biodiversity. Also, they are crucia
