I highly recommend watching "Its Quieter in the Twilight" ( https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9rrxr ) a cool documentary about the engineers still running voyager (a lot of them have been on it for decades)

the negative publicity regarding Evil Corp A is certainly a good thing, agreed. and like I said in another reply, I tend to try to support the smaller businesses _outside_ of the stores, knowing they would benefit that much more.

by tech-no-logical 5y ago
now _this_ is something I can agree with. which is why I try to support Small Corp D and E outside of any store, by directly buying from them (if at all possible)

personally, knowing the cuts that either app/play store take, I would _never_ subscribe to a service through either of them, that's luckily still an option. netflix raising prices _because_ of a store tax, even for users subscribi

I get your point. still, in this case B and C are, in my opinion, equally evil in exploiting their workers. so having them raise their optimal price to something the consumer would not buy their service would be, in essence, a good thing.
15.
by tech-no-logical 5y ago
true. in general I would agree any party taking a 30% cut (whether app store or play store or whatever) would be the supreme evil. but since all three parties involved in this instance are of the same caliber, I don't care, and I choos

by tech-no-logical 5y ago
agreed. but neither Lyft nor Uber are not small businesses. they also just exploit their workers.
17.
by tech-no-logical 5y ago
that's implied by every Evil Corp, but yes, you are correct. still, to the consumer it does not really matter which of the Evil Corp gets the money since they will pay it anyway. I don't, for a minute, think that the 30% would not

maybe I'm a cynic, but why should I care that Evil Corp A tries to rip off Evil Corp B and Evil Corp C ?

in my opinion : yes. we've been coming up with things for 30-40 years now, and emissions are still rising. we've had some kind of climate accord since 1992, and essentially nothing has changed with respect to fossil fuel use. on m

if the requirements say 7 meters (the sea level rise if greenland is ice free) building higher dikes will not work. and although that is a long-term scenario, it is not unlikely. hence the 'not if, but when' in the article.

the weak points (like the haringvlietdam and maeslantkering) can't (easily) be raised. and yes, the rivers will be a problem when we need to close the maeslantkering for extended periods of time when the sea level rises. it doesn'

you do know the deltawerken were only built with a maximum of 40 cm sea level rise in mind, right ? and we're now thinking of about 100 cm by 2100. true, that does not mean the netherlands will disappear right away, but we will see mor
