On the contrary, thinking that merely switching to EVs is enough to combat the climate change leads to complacency.

Buying increasingly deadly vehicles to protect yourself from other drivers is antisocial behavior, even if you personally rationalize it as “allowed and expected”.

If you are paying 45% of your income in state/federal/FICA taxes, then your after tax income is over $330,000/year.

> that’s probably blatant insider trading. It is only insider trading if you are basing your trades on insider information. If your only reason for selling is “I just got laid off and need the cash” then you should be fine

In the case of a literal Ponzi scheme it is pretty obvious who to prosecute. In the blockchain space many players have figured out ways to avoid being prosecuted for their schemes (many of which are little more than outright scams), but tha

Or rather, it makes perfect sense to slap on the bare minimum amount of blockchain to your scheme, given that it never had any use for blockchain in the first place but you can’t get funding without the right buzzwords

Most Ponzi scheme victims got in because of greed. That doesn’t absolve the con artist for running one though

My understanding is that the problem isn’t QA but rather that manufacturing to a tight tolerances costs more. Specifically because you can stack a bunch of sheets of fabric and cut them all at once, provided you are willing to accept slight

What percentage of internet users not using IRC would we have to reach for you to say that the world has moved on? 99%? 99.9%? 99.99%? Since it seems all those thresholds have already been passed…

Roughly 5 billion people use phones. Roughly 4 billion use email. However only about 0.0004 billion people use IRC…

I would expect it is just as much a hedge in case things go wrong. When your job is to steer the course of a company, it won’t look good if you crash and your hands weren’t even on the wheel

If you do that, some users are going to land in a weird purgatory where they’ve denied camera permissions to their camera app or something, and be completely unsure of why the app is acting strangely or how to fix it

Perhaps in the very long term. But drastically increasing taxes on property would certainly not improve things for home owners who'd still have to keep paying their mortgage as well. And even renters would likely find their landlord pa

They use a tiny sample size for a vaccine that’s been given to hundreds of millions of people, and are very cagey about exactly what serious side effects they’re measuring

It is far more sad seeing “environmental” organizations oppose desperately needed renewable energy, because they want to save a few trees.

Yeah, but you haven’t found bugs in the Linux kernel’s TCP parser. Your argument basically boils down to “X is true. If you think I’m wrong, then prove it by <extremely difficult task>” (It turns out that verification does reduce bu

Nobody said it was easy. If you think verification reduces bugs, then surely you can find a bug in Linux’s unverified TCP parsing?

So either rent a server in some country that doesn’t recognize copyright law, or uproot your entire life and move there? Why would anyone choose the second option?

Arguing for natural gas heating is dumb. The only way to hit net-zero is electrification AND renewable electricity generation. Both will take decades. The only question is whether to do them sequentially or in parallel, and it is pretty obv

Many US landfills capture methane , since they can then profitably sell/burn it. I haven't seen anything about them capturing all the CO2 emitted, which would be much trickier.

Long term, the paper will decompose while sitting in the landfill and then release the carbon back into the atmosphere. Even temporary sequestration is beneficial, but I don’t know whether it is still a net positive once you factor in the r
