Maybe it's an American thing. In Europe wearing real fur is socially quite unacceptable to most people.
Which part of Europe are you talking about? Radical chic people agree with you. Rich ones still prefer to show up their real furs. In really cold climates real fur still compete with synthetic fabrics.
"Renewables and lower prices can lead to higher energy use." Yes and no. If you have renewable generation distributed into the grid at the usage point, you're drawing centrally less power from the constant generation sources. That effectively gives you a backup power supply which can be increasingly relied upon depending on conditions/costs/local issues, overall a net reduction of required fossil generating capacity otherwise in place.
If you're completely off the grid with renewables, who the fuck cares how much you use? Nobody.
The "perception" by the people that the energy production is environmental friendly, leads them to consume more. And even more if it gets cheaper. It's a matter of education. Take the electric car hype. Yes, they don't directly produce more CO2 while moving. But is the production and disposal of an electric car any better than a fuel car? What about all those LiPo batteries? And the chargers? Any higher power consumption leads to higher release of energy in the environment, atmosphere included, no matter the energy source.
Yes, the situation is rather complex. The ability to fully understand it both at high and low level is important. As well as proper planning.
Bikes are faster than motorbikes that are faster than cars. In crowded situations. This because they can (illegally) sneak through the car lines, jump on pedestrian lanes and the likes. Cars cannot do that.
On city bypasses and fast lanes cars are way faster as usaully bikes are not allowed as well as light motorbikes (on my country).
Why hasn't slashdot the ability to unsend or unwrite my own post? I also need to add "unread", so I can forse users to forget what they already read. I need those now!
People is already sending messages without reading and thinking. This "feature" will give users a false perception and they will rely on it to be more and more careless. There's no message sent by error. They are all sent by carelessness.
The notch is just useless fashion (I for one dislike). Killing the 3.5mm jack is to push pricey wireless earbuds as the USB dongle prevents the use of wired earbuds while charging. This time they are betting high on their reputation.
As far as security and privacy, I mean. Both gather user information and send it somewhere on internet servers which are very likely exploitable. Both have 0-day exploits. The idiocy of the user is exactly the same.

Less energy and more efficient usage is the key to real environmentally savvy policies.
Renewables and lower prices can lead to higher energy use.
And maybe we'd be less people on the planet. But this is another story.

Wtf?
Remember, Pisa's tower is banana-shaped and thus needs to be leaning.
Otherwise it will collapse.
So they won't be judged based upon their thinking or clothing or reading?
That's good, isn't it?
I have told it!
Look around where?
Bad programming is language agnostic.
> the top languages according to the number of repositories created
In the web and mobile days you will obviously see more and more stuff in PHP, Python, Java and the likes.
And fewer in C, C++.
IMHO you'd not even just count *all* projects.
Because a project like Linux (99.999% C) cannot count the same as a python-based or java-based toy project.
You'd better count the overall number lines of code. Or, better, the overall number of modified lines of code at any time.
Then you'd discover the real truth.
Not the languages!
You insensitive programming clod!
> Cars do it all the time.
Your country needs to be messier than mine if cars can sneak through car lines, jump on pedestrian lanes and the likes...
I am not American, but here bikes and motor bikes need to comply to the very same rules as cars.
Bikes are faster than motorbikes that are faster than cars. In crowded situations.
This because they can (illegally) sneak through the car lines, jump on pedestrian lanes and the likes.
Cars cannot do that.
On city bypasses and fast lanes cars are way faster as usaully bikes are not allowed as well as light motorbikes (on my country).
> Not *all*. Because windows allows focus stealing
In this case you carelessly chose the OS. :-P

GMail has it. Within 10 or 30 seconds...

Or maybe the whole international routing infrastructure and protocols.

No.
But the software, if you don't count the 2nd eink display of devices like the yotaphone3.
As far as security and privacy, I mean.

Maybe it's more effective, isn't it?
So, basically, is back with nothing.
Or makers who sell smartphone in Europe?
