To my knowledge there are many millions of teapots orbiting the sun.
It’s like saying ”I support worker’s rights.” There is in general a huge power imbalance between the employer and the employee, and a union does a bit to rectify that.
One of the many problems with limiting the amount of sunlight reaching Earth is that it reduces plant growth worldwide. This would not only decrease agricultural output, with the obvious consequences for food…
Don't put this on the environmentalists when the simple explanation isn't short term cost effective to do this. If you need to put some big blanket blame, then blame capitalism. If nothing else because it has so far…
That is often a different type of difficulties. I was thinking about decision like, should I buy car A or car B. I've done my research. Economy, safety, et c. are very similar. But it is a lot of money, and I don't know…
> If a decision is hard to make, its often because the differences are small, and therefore it doesn't matter much and you might as well decide by dice-roll. My life became soo much easier when I had that insight. I…
Apparently it is so slow and expensive to build nuclear power so no commercial entities are interested without extreme government subsidies and guarantees.
One thing that has struck me with our own solar panels is that they have to be very dirty before I notice any significant degradation in efficiency. And when they do get completely covered in pollen or leaves, a brief…
I don't say we shouldn't do research. What I do say is that we do have all the technology we need. And more importantly, we don't have the time to wait for some future technology that potentially could solve all our…
We don’t need any new and untested technology to solve to stop spewing out greenhouse gases. We just need to scale up current green tech. It’s not know how and technology that is lacking, it is political will.
I don’t know what your point is. Of course some people have more choices than others. (And btw, I’m faster with my cargo bike than the car drivers. I never get stuck in traffic chaos outside school and I never get stuck…
No, I don't mean life satisfaction, I mean exactly what I wrote. Our material standards are unimaginable high compared to a few hundred years ago. I've never imagined kings to be particularly happy. I am convinced there…
I wouldn't call it poshy, but it is mostly inhabited by academics. And it is not in the US. I genuinely don't understand why you think it is entitled.
What a miserable world view. What do you need a yacht to when you have two weeks of holiday every year? While I agree that many people are status seekers, that can be different things. Where I live, a yacht is vulgar.…
If you instead imagine the perspective of anyone from 16th century, you’d realise we are already living as kings. We have way more food and clothes than we can eat and use, we have self driving carriages, magic devices…
I think part of the point is that Einstein’s genius was only partially the brain. It was also a unique upbringing in a specific point in time that made it possible. We would have many more geniuses if we game more…
I like that idea.
I'd rather let Archive block access to that specific article for a while, but still archiving from the start.
I remember a discussion whether it was rude to lit a cigarette at the dinner table before everyone had finished their meal or not.
The advantage would be that I know beforehand, and have the opportunity to test and, possibly, reject, what the advertiser want me to send to someone’s browser.
