What, do you breathe stale air all winter long? Letting air circulate for a few minutes doesn't kill you unless you live in Alaska. There is enough thermal mass in a house for that to be a non-issue.
For one, that's what ventilation is for. And I mean both the active one you have above the stove if you have half a brain and the opened windows after cooking is done.
In Delhi they breathe that 24/7. Doubt that is the same as breathing it for a few hours.
Now that I already invested a shit-ton of money in a lightspeed pad and mouse, I sure as hell am not going to buy another mouse.
Not to mention that lately only chinesium crap came out of Logitech. I can buy honest chinesium crap for a fifth of the cost and have the same user experience.
Knee-jerk reaction is "That can't be true, somebody is lying"
So who'd be lying and to what end?
What is kinda strange is the math... So they say no loss in productivity (as opposed to a gain) and they furthermore talk about a 20% increase in productivity. It can't be both, right? If it was a 20% increase per workday, that would still make the workweek fall short. If it was a 20% increase per workweek, one would assume the title would go something like "Working four days actually gets more shit done!!!!" and you can bet your ass companies all over the place would jump on the idea.
After all, you need to work 25% more per day to make up for the fifth.
I agree. A critical thinker will often change his mind, sometimes his whole outlook on life without falling into a deep crisis, or resisting the change out of a subconscious fear of that change.
That is a pretty rare kind of human being I've unfortunately come to realise. To equate this to not believing everything you're told cheapens the value of the character trait.
Both my private addresses as well es my work email are at 0 unread. I reply to every direct question from a real person I have some kind of contact with or who have valid reason to contact me.
I receive little to no spam. I make sure to unsubscribe the moment I get mail from any mailinglist and my anti-spam measures seem to be strong. Between blacklists and spamgourmet.com I seem to be pretty good at not getting much in the first place.
I will admit though that I'm neither in a management positiin nor do I have a budget people could try to talk me into sending their way.
Can't even deny that you are right on these examples. I'm coming to realize that even the way you build framed houses can be... less poverish feeling?... if it is done correctly.
As always in life, things go to hell when too many corners are cut.
We live in a time of abundance of inspiration. People are able to discover interests that 30 years ago you'd have to have been lucky to stumble upon randomly. Thanks to the internet and, dare I say it, even memes, people get first contact encounters with so many possible hobbies these days.
So there are many more artists and considering publishing has gotten way easier even in print, the times are good for comics above and beyond mainstream.
The challenge for the consumer is to find the right artist/genre/story. I have never gotten into Marvel and fallen out of anime and manga because at some point because I got used to the cliches and tropes and it didn't hold any interest for me. I have similar issues with literature.
Even in today's society, where everything can be found in a database, we still lhaven't evolved beyond tags and with tags it's important that other people tag something the way you would.
And there lies my issue. Goodreads has yet to pique my interest in a book that then proves to be to my taste. All these "You've liked that so you might also like these" have yet to prove effective.
I just don't know where to find more of what I loved. Even going into the fan communities seems pointless because people usually just don't think like me.
...they say. The oldest Reactor in Swirzerland, Beznau 1, turns 60 this year. So we already had 60 years to come up with a better reactor design.
Even if we assume nobody worked on the concept since Tchernobyl, which I highly doubt, in 1986, that gives uns 1. 5 decades of further innovation.
Not to mention block 3 in Tchernobyl was in operation until the year 2000... Considering there are still people living around reactor block 4 despite the catastrophe... And considering that you almost exclusively get a higher risk in ver treatable thyroid cancer and almost nobody died as a direct result to either Tchernobyl or Fukushima (vs thousands that died due to the panicked evacuations), I think it's about time to revisit the topic and see where we actually stand. You know with facts and stuff. Environmentalists keep sounding like they're parrotting very used propaganda at this point.
I keep hearing building those things would take decades but Beznau 1 was built in 4 years. That brings me to reason any delays beyond that must be man made.
You don't need a selfie camera anymore and can get a screen to body ratio of almost 100%. Also the one Linus found at CES seems to be pretty good at providing two independent desktops. It seems the back screen can also be divided into zones and used as a touch sensitive input device. For example you could define some game buttons there you could reach with your index fingers.
Two screens front and back could prove surprisingly useful IMO.
Me, I just hope the Cosmo Communicator won't be a dud....
However, the smartphone is easier to upgrade and it's easier to secure it if you don't trust it.
And as it stands in the current climate, I don't see any reason whatsoever to trust anyone. So unless I acquire the knowledge to thoroughly check such a chip's specs and am enabled to actually do that, I don't think this is going to be a thing for me.
OTOH, if they ever build a better digestive system or bionic eye, I'll probably get one of those but then my biological factory devices are rather suspect already.
Yeah, but when you need to plaster a third to half the country with wind and solar to even get close to providing enough energy, then even the most blind of idiots must realize that this is probably not going to be our salvation.
Also: Do you believe the production of silicon for PV is not harmful to the environment? Especially in those amounts? Not to mention the question of whether we are even able to find enough raw materials for it.
I agree that nuclear power has been done wrong in many ways. And we can now see that companies haven't properly prepared decommissioning of these things.

Really? What do I do with that number?

In Delhi they breathe that 24/7. Doubt that is the same as breathing it for a few hours.
I'd even go as far as to say that a relatively sophisticated keylogger is probably much easier to code and just as effective.
I'm sorry, what?

While we contend with that issue as well, don't forget that this is a direct democracy.
Frankly, I'm just sick of the dude. I caught myself wanting to downmod him without even having read his posts.
He sucks at marketing his points in a major way.
Shareholders require growth. That's about it. Now how intrinsically linked are stock exchanges and capitalism?
At least people care about football athletes. Try cheerleading if you really want to feel expendable.

The post is dripping with sarcasm.... I think? :D
What don't I understand here? How is 40uW out of 150uW 30 to 40% efficiency?
Simplistic indeed. There is surely going to be quite some overlap from people who had accounts with several or all of the breached entities.
Even so, if it's only 200 million individual people, it's still an immense number...
Frankly, with news being what they are these days, I don't dare have an opinion on US politics at all.
That sounds ike something I'd really like to own... unfortunately, I haven't worn a wristwatch in a decade...

Today people still believe that people 500 years ago believed the world to be flat.

However, those things CAN be solved.
