You are kinda arguing against your point. Around the year 1000, it's a reasonable guess to assume that emergence of new species and species extinction were roughly in balance, so net extinction rate was indeed around 0.…
And then pay somebody to guard it. Aka the "pay someone else to do it" option that your sibling comment talks about (and of which there are many different flavors, S3 being another one).
> And it's overwhelmingly likely S3 will still exist in an easily readable form in 30 years time. There is no indication that this statement holds true. Not even remotely. Businesses fold all the time. How many services…
Why not just mix human rights in China also into the discussion? Make everybody into vegans cause animal cruelty? Police brutality? School crisis? Obviously different problems are always best tackled in combination!…
Funny, I had this exact discussion with a colleague at work the other day. She claimed this is nonsense and won't change anybody's mind. Then she mentioned that she just had bought a new car. I asked what kind, it's a…
Maybe convince somebody then to have final storage for nuclear waste anywhere close to where they live. Once this crap is in your backyard, the armchair philosophers find excuses really fast. Similar with wind turbines,…

Right, playing world police should be right at the top of Europe's plan for saving the climate.
And closer to war. Great solution! It's going to do so much good for the climate!
Sad that this is downvoted. The hidden cost of nuclear is one of the biggest issue the tech-affine crowds tend to ignore and not want to hear about. You may not pay it on your utility bill, but society and later…
Which is a good thing. Just converting energy sources is not going to save us. We need to tackle the energy sinks too, i.e., getting smarter about how we use the available energy, i.e., mostly being more energy…
Come on, could the title be any more click-baity? Arts and U.S. Ivy are missing key words in the title. If you lift your eyes beyond the U.S., there are countries where the student does not pay tuition and the offered…

And none of the people in this thread did provide even a hint of an answer either...
The ability to do some changes like that is not the same as doing it always. Most commits are quite localized, and those should not be penalized by the ability to have a few cross-cutting ones.

This article is surprisingly and disappointingly simple-minded to appear on a place called Hacker News. It's a list of things aimed at my mom, not at a "hacker", whatever meaning you assign to this term. The most…
My advice to anybody in general would be: Do it. I did a Ph.D. and I had a blast. You need to be in an area of your field that you really like, and over the Ph.D. candidate years you will meet essentially everybody on…
