Global warning doesn’t care about the aesthetics of your hiking trail. But, no, no, let’s catch it progress towards a sustainable planet on hold because some folks don’t like the look of solar farms.

To my understanding, the only way for a work to be truly public domain is for the copyright to expire. Anything else is just a permissive license.

As in the picture accompanying the article, the solar shades don't need to cover the entire area. You can leave open sky over corridors to allow trucks through.

Quite possibly the reason. Though, I think retail, in general, has become quieter, outside of supermarkets (for some reason). In some ways, it feels like as visual aesthetics went minimalist, so did the soundscape. I'd personally like

They're getting eaten alive by competition though. Their first mover advantage has largely dissipated. Amazon might be able to give them exactly the kind of capital injection they need to get back in front. Alternatively, they might en

In fairness solar efficiency was below 10% in the 1970s, while the world was already producing many gigawatts of nuclear energy at that time. It's not as though Germany could have 'decided' in the 1970s to have 2022 technolog

It's an interesting question. It'd certainly be an odd cooperative. Most cooperatives have a large number of members with roughly equal economic power. So, ideas like one-member-one-vote and equal income distribution make sense. H

There are of course degrees of failure. Egypt suffered a strategic collapse. Russia failed to achieve its primary strategic goals. It has even failed its secondary strategic goals like taking the Donbas. Instead of a swift conquest of Ukrai

Their goal was to take 100% in a few days though. So 20% doesn't sound like winning to me. They've already failed strategically, so they're desperately trying to gain territory in areas where they have a localised tactical ad

It'd be great for trains in countries where they only announce the platform shortly before boarding. It's such a hassle to find the departure on a giant board and monitor it closely among a sea of boarding times. This is especiall

Am I the only person that likes self-checkout? I remember the period before self-checkout: interminable queues, being stuck behind an old lady making small talk with the cashier, and receipts with double-counted items.

Quite a few allegations there. It seems like the simplest way to settle this discussion would be to point out a few practical applications of crypto that provide real utility to the finance system.

Crypto may, one day, find utility as part of the financial system (outside of drug deals, sanctions evasion, money laundering, tax minimisation, greater-fool scams, and Ponzi schemes), but its recent volatility has been in no way related to

Yeah, I think the M1 MacStudio was just establishing the form factor in anticipation of M2. Apparently, that requires a better thermal solution as the M2 MacBook Pro throttles much quicker than the previous generation.

Doesn't really matter if the relationship isn't linear like that. I suspect it's more likely conversions start to drop off after certain thresholds are met e.g. 3 seconds causes conversions to drop by 5%, 20 seconds causes th

Doesn't really matter. If the price of Bitcoin is below the cost of electricity and labor required to mine it, then it's irrelevant that the card won't be as productive (lose money at a greater rate) in future. You're st
