I used to work at dotCloud (which pivoted to Docker in 2013), before working at Uber until May 2018.
- kalessinWhy? I am not sure photosynthesis plays a large role in the lower carbon footprint.
- Apple’s support for MacOS can been shorter than their laptops longevity (the longevity of their laptops got quite bad when then tried to make them as thin as an usb-c port). So Linux support is also important there imo, and as the original post pointed out because Apple makes it so hard to for Linux to support their hardware, long-term software support may be something to think about before buying a MacBook.
- I don't want to fix it myself either, and I don't see how a repair industry could exist without the right to repair.
- I don't really understand the idea of micro-grids, how do you account for redundancy, or long term storage if inclement weather goes on for a few days? Do you just keep big fossil gas generators as backup? Moreover residential is one thing, but industrial is another.
- Seasonal storage for what kind of usage?
FYI, we have clean, and proven, energy sources in our toolbox that are not intermittent.
- FLA3 is a first of a kind and is a bad example. Nuclear is working very well for France at the moment, we are back to high-availability and making a lot of money through exports.
- There is bridges between military and civilian nuclear, however keep in mind that nuclear reactors like the EPRs being built in the UK are designed such that producing the necessary fission products to produce weapons is basically impossible. To produce those isotopes you generally want a reactor that allows online refueling.
OTOH, it is possible to "burn" nuclear weapons in civilian reactors, as done in the Megatons to Megawatts disarmament program.
- It was a partial meltdown in a pressurized water reactor, it cannot be compared to Chernobyl, it's a completely different technology. PWRs can't explode like what happened in Chernobyl.
- What really went wrong at 3 mile island? No one died or was injured afaik.
- "Thought experiment" from Kurzgesagt: What if We Nuke a City? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iPH-br_eJQ
- I strongly recommend split hands, ortholinear layout and thumb clusters too, as well as a programmable firmware so you can setup your own layers.
- It is important to note that the gas exported to China and Europe are exported from different fields, and are not connected with each other. As it stands right now, Russia cannot export the gas it produces for Europe to China.
- There is still hope, but we sure do need a global mindset shift when it comes to nuclear (and many other topics for sure).
Global warming will make parts of the worlds inhabitable. Sea levels will rise, so much heat and humidity in some places that your body won't be able to regulate its internal temperature...
- Fusion is multiple decades ahead of us still, even with more funding, but we need to take action this decade if we want to have an impact on global warming.
Fusion is unfortunately not going to help here.
- That's not the case at all, nuclear should be how we replace coal. Nuclear is one of the safest way to produce energy today, including the Chernobyl & Fukushima incidents.
Nuclear, because of its energy density, has a big edge against solar and wind as well. AFAIK, building NPPs not only uses less resources and land footprint than wind and solar, they also last longer and are non-intermittent.
In this graph, notice how safe Nuclear is, and also notice that it is cleaner than wind and solar.
- Too bad, I really enjoy those long distance Amtrak trips, and I can't wait to take the California Zephyr or the Southwest Chief again, but not sure I wanna ride multiple days on Amtrak in the current situation.
I hope service is resumed after the pandemic, I haven't had the chance to take this route yet!
- Really good talk about this computer from CCC last year for those who haven't seen yet: https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-10703-the_ultimate_acorn_archime....
- A lot of software doesn't have a GUI, even on macOS?
- I am not a doctor but from what I have been reading, consuming THC on a regular basis before 21 (the commonly accepted age for the latest stage of brain development) is definitely a bad idea, as it will prevent the endocannabinoid system to develop correctly. I would not dismiss teen smoking/vaping as a public health concern, it's not just about counterfeiting, I think we need better education about the risks and benefits.
