Carbon offsetting becomes effective when it causes less carbon to be emitted. It has to be so expensive that it makes the consumer of the carbon to think twice. This can only happen if the offsetting is mandatory. The further up the chain i

Surely this wasn't a novel concept in 2018? It seems a trivial idea, and I'm pretty sure the machine learning course I followed that explained deep convolutional neural networks as being made up of workers identifying various part

This has confused me a bit about the US education system. Shouldn't this be taught in highschool? Where I live if someone wants to study maths in university, and they haven't done the B2 math track, the university would simply not

The virtualized storage layer could actually be a bottleneck here. Though I think they've improved the performance of it to the point where it might no longer be a bottleneck but I'm not sure.

Why not just mount the code in the container instead of copying it over? Rust deals very cleanly with build artefacts from different architectures so there's no risk of corruption.

The interview with Zuck was really disappointing, he got a lot of flack for his mellow interviews of contentious persons and he's been trying to prod a little deeper on them since then. I think he's great at interviewing interesti

Matt Ferrell's Undecided is great. Yeah he just explains interesting press releases, he isn't shy about that either. Why would he want/need to be critical about them? Unless he's reading press releases of companies that

You do realize in general persons on the road have a positive impact on the economy if they survive their travel right?

Ah that's unfortunate. I'm sure there's technological solutions to point 1, but that's pretty irrelevant if the other three points are true. It seems a bit ridiculous if a project funding is 3-5 years, if it's suppo

Wouldn't a project of this size be easily monitored with publicly available sattelite imagery? If there was funding, you could structure it purely based on the imagery, for example a country could receive ~1M$ for every 10px of green t

Did you pick Tasmania because it is just about exactly on the other side of the planet of Ontario? Are you going to pump the hydro through the earths core? Months of energy storage for ~500.000 Tasmanians is like a day or two for the ~15 mi

Hadn't looked at it that way yet, that actually sounds really attractive. If they can be maintained and operated at under 1k per house per year then that's competitive with what I pay now. I wonder why it's so cheap when calc

Niantic is the most baffling company. I played the original ingress beta with my friends and it was actually pretty fun, it felt like you were playing a tech demo, but for a tech demo it was engrossing. When they shut it down and announced

Carter and Reagan and basically every president afterwards decided that it was better for the economy if the USA didn't have steel plants. They were probably right too unfortunately.

Well that just makes me even more interested, the sort of hobby that involves a hundred steel tables is my kind of hobby.

Is there a joke I'm missing, are you both owners of some sort of chemistry businesses?

Not parent, and not necessarily agree, but one should throw a parser/typecheck error and the other should not.

It's a Wikipedia link with 7 references that is utterly neutrally formulated. If you think that's even close to how Fox News presents their abhorrent lies you can count yourself lucky to have not watched it ever. In the meanwhile

Your sort of low effort knee jerk response to a well researched informative comment is precisely why it's so hard to have rational discussion online. Can you not stay on topic and refrain from instigating polarisation for one minute? D

What is the novelty of Strada's approach being discovered here? I'm sure it's gonna be a great framework, but patching in JavaScript functions or message handlers so that your webkit frontend can call native functions is just

It seems you're trying to nail down an absolute, I'm just saying that there's options sometimes. In my opinion AirBnB is setting money on fire by running on AWS. They've got huge talent pools of great engineers they coul

But that's besides the point. That they're greenhouse gases doesn't really figure into the reason why it's EU policy to reduce the density of their emissions near natura 2000 areas.

I work for a company that does projects that are sometimes funded by the EU. I've never heard of the EU ever asking for something in return. You submit your project, the EU either decides to give you money, or not, and you do your proj

There are other ways of reducing risks. You only save money if it's the most efficient way of reducing risks and your risks are purely convertible into cash. I'm quite sure if you take managing your IT infrastructure as seriously

There's not a company in the world that spends more than $1m annually on cloud costs that has saved money by doing so. You don't go to the cloud to save money, you go to the cloud to reduce technological risk. If you go to the clo
