Iirc they're ok but not amazing, proprietary and mostly good because they aren't Google or Bing.

So like... Don't build it out of ice then? Also it's a book that may or may not be fully accurate, and should be taken as a thought experiment and story

There are plenty of valid concerns but that is not one of them lol

Iirc it's a half-scam from the icecream machine manufacturer, since they have an exclusivity deal with Mcd's and as such provide shitty machines that only they can repair and then charge a stupid amount of money to fix them.

Thanks for finding the actual statistics. My initial feeling was that there are too many ways to interpret what the article was saying, and playing silly buggers with the statistics.

Yeah, though I think currently only emissions cutting should be implemented, mostly because damage reversing tech like DAC take green energy that could otherwise be used to more effectively cut emissions elsewhere. Once we start getting excess green energy to do such things, then it should be implemented. It should still be researched and developed now tho

Yep, for literally anything in space or aerospace he is my go-to. I also like Angela Collier for physics, she makes great content.

Yep, currently industry needs to be cutting down a much emotion as possible, but DAC will probably still be needed in a couple decades, and research takes time so it's still good that it is happening now.

I would absolutely buy one of those shirts lol

I think because simpleX is more open source, self-hosted, and maybe slightly more anonymous. Not sure how the usability trades off for that if at all because I haven't used it (I mainly use signal and discord)

It also doesn't seem to be a mass migration by any means, just that simpleX is a bit better if you are super hardcore about your privacy.

Even if your monero wallet or account or whatever is firmly linked to your real identity?

Where do you find that menu? I can't find it on my end

 

I am about to go to college for engineering and they require a Windows laptop because of the software we will be using (mostly solidworks I'm pretty sure) doesn't work on other operating systems. I primarily use windows day-to-day for gaming and such anyways so it's not a problem for me but I'm wondering if anyone had experience using solidworks or any other industry-class CAD software like Inventor on linux
