I work in Montreal.
People biking year round are very rare, and dping so require significant effort compared to using public transit.
I’m all for reducing car usage, but what I am saying is that solutions should be tailored to location.
Bike work for Amsterdam, great!
But I think cities where snowstorm are somewhat frequent should probably focus on public transit instead.
( I’ll admit tough that I assumed Toronto weather was similar to here and didn’t expect that much less snow! )
After a quick Google search, snowfall average per year in Amsterdam is 6.1cm
Toronto is apparently 121.5cm
Biking in the snow is significantly harder, and the accumulation of snow in the road in winter makes it even worse.
I don’t thin that’s the best comparison to make
Is the chinese show caught up on the booksnor still unfinished?
Even if you have a device connected to your TV to block ads when you’re using Youtube, nothing prevents her from using the TV OS when she does.
Character is Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1
“Stop dismissing opinions you don’t like”
Just after what amounts to “I won’t read that”
I laughed.
I’m a bit confused, it’s a beta, right?
Why are people annoyed that the game runs like an unfinished game?
It is!
Heh, now the parralel in my mind is developpers that put in microtransactions or force a subsribtion model with no option to buy.
By that logic, do you think anybody that works at walmart/amazon/any-company-that-has-shady-suppliers can’t be good?
Rough translation, but here it was “Ordinary Nintendo”, as opposed to the Super Nintendo
I do not.
But a quick search online says that Stephen Hawking had an IQ of 160.
This feels a lot like pretty people saying that looks don’t matter all of a sudden.
I wonder if there’s a relation with people saying that what they have is not valuable.
I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:
I’d wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.
Inversely, most people don’t need even have a turbo in their car and many don’t even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.
That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they’re probably skilled in something else!
I’m saying that as an IT person that’s aware that I’m making money mostly because people don’t bother to learn all this, so in the end I don’t mind that much.
Lab grown meat is more efficient, but some place are already outlawing it before it’seven available commercially… So I’m not too sure about the direction we’re going.
Those are very good points.
This specific source doesn’t highlight it and I don’t have the opportunity to find something else at the moment, but when I first heard about it ( in a ted talk that I can’t remember the name of… ) they had highlighted that health complications followed similar curves. The worsts of course being burning stuff due to dumping it in the air, but that most renewables had their lot of injuries too, that their just less publicized.
Here’s my full take of nuclear/renewables
My understanding is that most power grid depending on renewables need an alternate energy source for when power demands ramp up: they need some energy sources that they can tune depending of needs, at the drop of a hat.
Hydro does that, you can let more or less water through. (I happen to live aomewhere where most of our energy is Hydro) Things like wind or solar are more complicated.
As an energy appoint source, I think nuclear is a good fit for some use cases.
The thing is, nuclear problems are big and scary events, but they’re rare.
Think like plane crash vs other transportation accidents: they make bigger news, but they’re actually safer than most other solutions.
Here’s the data: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh
It does seem that your solar example is the one thing that’s safer than nuclear sccording to this chart though, so maybe you knew!
One thing I find annoying is that there’s no way for me to let the company know that this behavior lost me as their customer forever unless they change their tune.
I’m fairly sure I’m the kind of person they’d market those products towards and it hurs them, but there’s no wat that I’m aware of to let them know.
If there was a way, and a significant amount of people would do so, maybe the decision makers would understand it’s stupid…
As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:
Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.
The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.
It’s a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.
Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that’s what this is.
I see that being said quite often.
Is there any actual proof of this or is it speculation?
In low density population areas, it seems to me that laying fiber would be cost prohibitive, but I’d like to be proven wrong.
If this is a real thing and not photoshopped, the fact that they feel the need to hide their faces is depressing.
