My company struggles to find the right people. Many that we find we can't hire because the risk is too high that they won't make the lottery, so positions keep unfilled. This is a serious problem limiting our growth.

The risk that this happens until we have technical means of avoiding the ecological disaster that current proposals entail is orders of magnitues closer to zero than the next pandemic wiping 50% of humans off the earth within your lifetime.

That's not how this works. Plate tectonics won't stop if you cool down things a little bit. The amount of cooling you'd need to do amount to have that stuff stop is comparable to creating forests and oceans on mars. Not gon

Or exactly the other way around. Without "engineering society" we'd still live in tribes killing each other at first sight. We have reduced that substantially. Some societies are a bit behind (like allowing lethal military-gr

I'm personally on board with rentals for the occasional long trip or using and building out public transit. But most people are not. Especially not in NA. I understand the drivetrain argument. What about a simple generator to recharge

I'm not disputing any of that. It's just that in an EV you currently drive around over half a ton of battery with you on your 20 miles a day commutes. That's highly inefficient as well. You need energy to drive it around, you

Most people still have that simplified view that you just have an oil well and just pump it up. In the US, a significant portion is extracted with fracking, an environmentally pretty terrible method for extraction.

by pl90087 3y ago
How is that the same thing? Every ounce of oil coming out of the groud and getting burned ends up as CO2 in the atmosphere. Banning that has nothing to do with ICEs. You can run an ICE on synthetic fuels. It's not as energy-efficient b

One of the problems ahead of you personally is the insight that a Li battery is not 100% lithium. It's a fraction of that.

For some idea sourcing, you guys could consider mapping to musical notes as well. Then each melody maps to a particular dance.

There is a lot of other stuff happening right now that may or may not have a massive impact. Dominating the front page like this is just tilting the attention economy too much for everybody who hasn't bought into the hype bubble.

You're right. That was stupid, I'm sorry. Thanks for your efforts!

For nuclear research you could be right, but not so much with bioweapons. Already 20 years ago you could manufacture the polio virus from scratch just using publicly available data. https://www.science.org/content/artic

It's not the footer that is the problem. It's not telling anybody that you're recycling other people's work. I explicitly pointed out that the footer is fine. I generally like this type of ad the most -- do some great wo

Either you have been extremely unlucky, or a good time investment for you would be to fix a few of the non-working ones. That's likely a better use of your time than wondering how to leave notes to your future self.

I like your attitude towards this. One should try to create a study to investigate the effects better. As alternative to "6pm you guys all go home, period.", there is likely a difference between "6pm you all go home, but if y

If it's predictable, then everybody can prepare for it too and ensure they are in a downhill configuration when 6pm comes by.
