The share of the world population in extreme poverty has gone down by about 80% since 1960. And the number of people in extreme poverty has gone down by about 2/3 since 1970. It's getting better. Not as fast as it could…
There's a philosophical discussion to be had here regarding the difference between a gigawatt and a jigawatt!
While 93% of trips are less than 30 miles...I bet the percent of miles travelled on longer trips are significantly higher. I'm probably 80-90%% miles travelled for trips longer than 30 miles (I also work from home,…
Beyond all the safety stuff, it's also because that car often saves a huge amount of time compared to walking/biking - especially when there are multiple stops involved in an outing. And that car can haul groceries,…
This footprint based fuel economy is (one of the reasons) WHY the civic is so much larger
Solar and wind are on an exponential trajectory. Our usage isn't. That in itself is enough to make a pretty good prediction that they'll make an impact. That said, there are absolutely going to be issues taking the…
This is exactly the problem. If you do your job as a PM, you get pushed out because doing your job means you'll be ruffling feathers in senior management. So to stick around, you schmooze instead of doing your job…
Renewables have replaced roughly half of the coal production decrease (and the other half is gas). Gas just had its growth moment before renewables did. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=55960
Yes, because despite there being setbacks, the ozone layer is still healing! The hole is getting smaller
Decarbonization will have negative externalities. Yes, even environmental ones. I'd argue that those externalities are necessary and delay to mitigate them is going to be worse than fixing them later.
Unless you're digging trenches in the soil or paying the elephant foot a visit, the radioactive material under your pillow is actually almost definitely worse for you (depending on exactly how radioactive we're talking)!
Because it doesn't give any perspective on any of the actions that Apple is taking. Facts alone don't make an informative article. This one's less egregious than many, but it suffers the same pervasive issue as most…
But there's a distinction between what should be allowed vs. what is legally allowed. You're talking about what's legally allowed, the parent comment is talking about what should be allowed.

Are you talking Montana or Maine? One of those has a MUCH higher fire risk than the other (though both have risk!).
Imho - the driver is being scapegoated here. If you watch the actual video (graphic, don't recommend), the victim only appears for a few frames before the accident. In a normal car where the driver sees them and reacts,…
Who are we kidding...It'll recover within a century or so without humans. Millions of years for birds to re-evolve, but general recovery happens pretty quickly!! We're getting bombarded with messages from the fossil…
You're not going to egress out of a 60th floor window...
Windows don't make you safe in a high rise. Especially ones in a donut hole in a structure - no way to escape through those!!
And my point is that desirable doesn't matter much if the goal is to get people housed. Yeah, you'll get less rent for the inner apartments, but that's how you make affordable housing - you make things cheaply and make…
Undesirable apartments sound like code for low income/affordable housing to me... Add a few light pipes out to the outside walls and you can even get a bit of outside light inside!
Do you? Most newer buildings go without external staircases (typically have two+ internals firewalled apart from each other)
That's entirely false. Case in point: the veto power. There are checks and balances built into the system. One of them is the supreme court's ability to rule on constitutionality. And it's pretty clear that congress has…
Clearly the answer is a personal Predator drone fleet carrying hellfire missiles. As is my God-given right to own and use as a red-blooded American.
In this case, the high customer satisfaction resulted in additional high net worth customers, which made them more susceptible to a bank run!
