I have a personal distaste for the multi-syllable word in the headline. I acknowledge that may be a 'me' thing, though I do have reasons which are off-topic. But seeing it prominently displayed on the homepage of this site is offp

I already know where I’m looking. And the map TOS state it should be the business name. I pointed this out as a UX problem, which it is.

I would add to this article that a major issue with Google Maps has been businesses trying to SEO-pad their business names on Google Maps, to the detriment of readability. This is also against their TOS – the "business name" form

I tried this and I'm wondering if anyone involved in this project was around when Space Cadet Pinball dropped, on Windows 95 in 1995. Because this is like a parody of that. It took 10s to load on my M1.

False dichotomy of saying we have the consequences of climate change OR we have a few Chernobyl like incidents. We don’t need to choose between these options. We can avoid climate change without nuclear energy

There are many arguments against nuclear and they aren't going anywhere. I find myself in the middle, I hope that renewables can displace all other power modes, but also find nuclear enticing for base load. What stops an economic power

I see your point, but eventually the solar panels produce the energy to produce more solar panels. Including the mining IIRC there is a formal guidance for what is classified as renewable. Things like oil, while originating from biological

You are using the word 'sterilizing' to gain footing, though the difference in most peoples' meaning is negligible

Minus the routine kernel panics it's causing on my M1. Or is that defective hardware?

Thanks, good call out. This was largely based on some charts from An Inconvenient Truth which showed temp as a latent responding variable to CO2 PPM. Obviously a lot of research has happened since then, so I looked it up, and the lag peri

This year has proven that climate change isn't just a long term problem. Manhattan was engulfed in smoke from the west coast. People were flooded out of their homes in Western Europe. And heat waves across the west coast lead to dozens

There's nothing to "keep" under 1.5C, we are pretty much already there when error bars are considered. 2C is going to be breached regardless because even if we went carbon neutral today we have decades of locked in warming.

Not really. Have you tried it? It doesn't really work. I can't even figure out how to use it from my mobile device without installing an app.

Sure, but if insurance is hesitant..

A dark but predictable outcome is that they will eventually burn down, and insurance companies will be afraid of covering new development in these areas. After which point controlled burns can again occur

Earlier in the article it refers to `kebab-case`, so at the very least it's an inconsistency.

This whole thing looks like a disaster. As other commenters are pointing out, even if the pilots did the MAX simulators, would they have been trained to respond to the AOA failure? Unlikely. It seems like Boeing completely missed serious ca
