Don't worry, we'll just put big fans in the sea to start the current up again

Did the covid lockdown require a war? Did everyone say ‘fuck off Id rather have my freedom than help fight the pandemic’? No? Then clearly there’s a path to getting people onboard with fighting climate change, it just requires the right mes

We don’t need to deindustrialise. Hell, we don’t even need to make our lives that much worse. Did you know half of all human emissions since 1750% were released in the last 30 years? Even going back to 60s levels would do us well. Moving ba

I'm not jealous of your risk tolerance, that you're willing to bet our world on the on the chance of some magic technical solution appearing. Imagination is after all, all in your head.

The hacker news perspective; the people dying of heat exhaustion in India just need to invest in better A/C. I guess we’ll end up A/C’ing the fields of dying crops too?

No, if everyone had access to that much metal it wouldn't be precious. If only the US government has access to it then it's up to them how much gold costs surely.

Reading this literally made me tear up. Sad for everyone involved

Thank you. That’s less than I thought would be a problem

That's interesting to hear. How much fruit were you eating?

If you're interested in this Jason Fungs books go into his theory on why fructose is bad for us. His theory is based on the idea that fructose is much like alcohol in our bodies inability to process it properly

In high quantities from stuff like table sugar anyway. The 5 grams ~ you get from a portion of fruit probably isn't such a big deal

Makes sense as excess protein is converted to glucose by the body (same as carbs)

Aside from the fact that the study showed no improvement after Vitamin C dosage, you should be careful at that dose in regards to kidney stone formation. Worth staying very hydrated

I hope I'm not the only one that read this as some sort of species hunting humans like the wraith from Stargate

Honestly Apple just in general stops working the moment you lose internet connection and it sucks. The whole ecosystem seems to assume you always have internet.

Step back once more, look at your life and you’ll realise that you can apply the same logic to any status symbol you own. How did they pull it off? It’s human nature…

People are investing money to find solutions to the problems we face. Seems reasonable that with money comes results

I really disliked WFH from the start. It just exaggerates my worst tendencies, and I also struggle to empathize with team members if I don't see them on the regular

Probably an easy scape goat then if he was the black sheep of the kremlin.

I'd suspect the packaging more than the food

Good advice regardless. Every month we get more evidence that exchanges don't adequately protect their users interests.

But very true regardless. Reading HN for health advice is like talking to your barber about stock options. A way to spend time but not to get information to work off of

Never heard of that before. A quick google says it can cause cancer to spread if it’s already there. Makes sense, but then if you have cancer already you’re at a point where there’s no good options; just slightly less bad options, in my opi

Not a comforting thing to read in the morning. Seems like modern life is quite unhealthy for us but no one can pin down why. I was also interested in seeing the higher prostate cancer rates. As prostate cancer is linked to DHT and DHT is li

The impossibility of getting an insurance policy to cover this downside probably makes it dead in the water unless a state starts doing it

UML is also really useful for modelling relational databases

People thought the same one hundred years ago, and they will likely feel the same in the next hundred years when we all have our own AI assistants and probably stuff like ocular implants to replace monitors and other unfathomable discoverie

They stood on the shoulders of giants just like we do. It seems naive to think that getting on those shoulders in this modern age won’t create a brand new batch of low hanging fruit to pick if you’re willing to put the effort in
