I'm curious if these systems form a net positive. The cost of a thing provides a pretty reasonable proxy as a summation of the energy put into it's creation. The implication being that a balcony solar system is probably roughly n

Seems a lot of work for an intuitive result. If a wall uses only 50% of the material per linear foot and is less than 200% length, well duh it's going to save bricks. Though depending on the wall the precise savings may be different, i

I think Monsanto is an evil company, like in a very real cartoonish-evil sense. I have no doubt they put their thumb on the scale of research leaning it towards safe. That said I suspect glyphosate is probably not that bad, and among herbi

to be pedantic you'd need to think a lot about how you power your human. Did you fuel up your human with beef or beans? local or shipped? were they operating a day in climate control? have to commute? did they need equipment like a lar

wow, very interesting I can't say I've really ever heard of anyone financing research themselves, hope things work out and maybe a treatment arrives in time for you. As an aside if you end up cryogenically freezing yourself for a

Gonna play a little devil's advocate here. Setting aside whether I think data centers or good or bad and just focusing on the sale of the land (for whatever purpose). The land was donated back in 99 and looks like they never followed t

If the only interesting thing about a work is it's provenance is that work actually valuable? actually in all honesty human works are predominantly crap, and a bit passé. If I'm going to visit a site whose whole shtick is provenan

Kicking myself for not getting the other 2 sticks when I built my computer. I didn't really need them and had them in the cart, just never pulled the trigger. Now they're worth over half as much as the whole machine.

Not sure that's isolated to the EU, all these companies seem to snub everyone when it comes to banning. Seems unless you have enough followers to make the news cycle you're SOL when it comes to fighting those bans.

Yep, this is the same thing they did with the video streaming. The video thing actually made me cancel prime. The shipping isn't a big deal anymore and I was able to justify the prime as a bonus to the streaming service.

Good bit of survivor bias in the retired population. If you can put in 30-40 years of full time work and then afford to retire you probably don't have a propensity for substance abuse.

You experience more than 100% of all of these costs as a renter, while you have none of the up-front costs and less liability you also have no agency and no equity. It can be a trap though, as selling isn't free and if you didn't

I don't play any IRL magic but I know it can be hard to "fix" and maybe isn't broken. Casually those rules would probably be good house rules to balance play, though even small changes like this could change balance and

Admittedly I didn't go over the whole article just watched the video. around the 90 second mark they mention that the spin sate can drop into a superposition called a spin singlet. then they show heating the material to break a spin si

As a lefty I never had any problems adapting to a right hand mouse and actually find the keyboard to be better suited as a "left hand" activity and would have a hard time switching it up.

Seems probable that's simply because it isn't tolerated as a choice. Though the best evidence to refute "There are no left-handed in China" is that it didn't take long to find a left handed Chinese baseball player

The animation is great though I don't understand how the collapsed singlet can exist in proximity to the superimposed ones. I would expect the presence of the defined spin to create an "observation" of a neighbor and immediat

Aww, makes me sad. I was really enjoying having these on PC, they even released some of them on GOG no less. Guess I should try to snag Forbidden West before they yank it from steam.

I think you mean morally consistent. though even then humans don't have any real qualms about that. Dogs and livestock are conscious, we use those as tools.
