There is a long list of potential civilization killers. Many are anthropogenic, some are natural. They all have varying probabilities of killing us. Probably the highest now are climate change, nuclear war and a worse pandemic.

Well, most EVs have weak 12V batteries to power computers, lights etc. They are not designed to output the amps needed to turn an engine. That makes sense for the EV since it saves a lot of weight. And the main batteries are usually 400V to

Privacy at its core is a preventative measure against being controlled. The state, a corporation or other individuals have an easier time exerting influence over you if they know more about you. Obtaining information is a largely automated

This still leaved the gap for small cars you can cram 4 people inside + some luggage unfilled. Also, are manufacturers taking L7e vehicles seriously, or are they styling them like toys still? Early EVs suffered form car companies deliberate

1) Good design can - to a certain degree - allow most people to replace parts. E.g. headlight bulbs or modules, which are held in place by 0-3 screws and a simple electrical connection. Similar things with door seals or floor mats. Many par

I want to do that too, my background so far is CS, robotics and traching programming. What avenues exist?

To the people wondering why this is still an issue: Most tech is very US- or west-centered. My name contains an Umlaut (ü), which causes me trouble much more often than should be the case. A colleague of mine even changed their name by subs

Technically when the Earth still had a molten crust it was the hottest. Does that matter right now? No, this is about our climate changing radically and us needing to do something before we make our planet less habitable. Nitpicking at phra

An old-school sealed envelope in my house. Could maybe upgrade that to a bank strongbox or leaving it with a notary.

Uh... is one broken drive such a big issue? Hardware will fail, usually when it is very new or very old (Bathtub curve). Or are there more such events the article didn't mention?

This post expresses something I have been feeling fro a while. We need some catchy names for these parts of the web. I'd propose "Corponet" for the big sites (borrowed from Cyberpunk). How to call the other side though? &quot

Conspiracy theory: Bad initial search results forces people to search more often, hence allowing google to show more ads. Since few people switch away as a result, they continue doing this.

In all this nonsense with the so called Metaverse, the reddit shitshow and now with twitter, keep in mind: Brands are made up and even if a few platform commit suicide, the internet will continue. New things will fill the gaps left. Humans

Hops already need tall poles with ropes in between to grow, so they use existing infrastructure in this case. Plus the machines are already built for it :) https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/ernten-des-hopfens-mit-einem...

This pseudo-intellectual doubt in the face of overwhelming scientific consensus is pathetic and part of the problem. What is the goal? Laying breadcumbs for climate-change deniers to follow to some trap for the gullible?

This article assumed carbon capture from the air to form methane will risk depleting CO2 from the atmosphere. This methane is supposed to be used as an energy storage medium. ...wat? The proposed process is extremely wasteful and almost a

EVs use energy much more effectively and can be charged from local renewables. The import of petrol and its distribution is also a massive headache in many places. What is likely needed though is a way to charge EVs ar just a couple of hund

Fast movement = higher energy collisions. Robot arms can move very fast, but usually you only optimize for that in production. At that point the system should be collision-free.
