I'm hopefully a future physicist and the first to defend its importance but this kind of argument seems quite bad faith to me. " Physics-based industries are those that rely heavily on expertise in physics. These include oil and g

Forking Wikipedia articles based on partisanship is actually a super interesting idea.

I was under the impression that carbon dioxide was largely a global problem. I don't have the knowledge to comment on that, or the other problems you brought up - in fact, I don't have much of an established opinion on the topic a

You seem to be spot on. According to ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) the carbon footprint of a flight from Malaga -> Amsterdam for 1 person is about 0.161t (metric ton) [1]. One carbon credit gives you the right to relea

Exactly. If the charterer has to pay less fuel for your ship because you put a kite on it, surely they will choose your ship over others? Is there no competition in this market or why does fundamental market principles seemingly not apply?

I'm more surprised that the IBM server has 200k users?

I can't remember the specifics, but with the certain model I wanted, at a reasonable price, and with shipping to Sweden I'd like to remember that Amazon was the best option. Regardless, although my last sentence might've been

A little while ago I was trying to get into Airsoft (paintball with plastic bullets as opposed to color) to have a reason to spend more time with my brother. The little bullets have quite decent momentum and can penetrate normal low-grade s

I just think it doesn't actually fit any purpose. For quick chats irc is faster and more accessible, and for long thoughtful discussions Slack is lacking a lot of features so that you might as well use email. A lot of discussion from

Sounds like this could be solved with good old Post-It notes, but maybe I'm old-fashioned..

This is thankfully the case in 99% of situations, but I'd like to add on top of all the comments: technical proficiency is super important to me. Having a manager that doesn't understand the details (or even basics) of your work i

You have every right to think that Slack is amazing and that IRC is "complete trash" (although I completely disagree) - but please don't attribute it to UX. UX isn't just graphical design, it's also feeling responsi

Say you're out eating with mates and you want to split the bill, no one really carries cash anymore here so that's not an option (and also annoying to split). Writing a cheque is obviously ridiculous and a bank transfer requires a

See this seems to be a really fun and challenging part of IT.. the part that I don't want to have to deal with is the helpdesk, guiding a 60 year old lady to login onto her system or configure her company iPhone. Maybe there is a job w

Same thing in Scandinavia, but it's a cooperation between banks. Know someones phone number? Open the app "Swish" and send him money.

I'm sorry, I'm not at all educated in this subject and I might be misunderstanding what you are saying, but isn't Earth the perfect example to argue against this? We're a life-friendly planet that isn't tidally lock

How common are "life-friendly" planets (Let's say: on a ratio of Life-Friendly Planet:Non Life-Friendly Planet)? And is there any way to check if life-friendly planets contain life without actually going there?

I see. And I do indeed agree with you on the price - instead of shaming us into not flying (although that apparently seems to be working, too) develop comfortable and affordable alternatives.

Kudos to you! I couldn't fathom taking a 24 hour train from Sthlm -> Berlin over the 1.5 hour flight. Is that an environmental decision or do you have other reasons?
