And your longitude as well. Being at the extreme east or extreme west of your timezone is a very different experience.

Hi!

I'm really interested in your project! I'm a engineer in computer science and robotics, and in parallel, I'm going to run a workshop on building solar ovens at a recycling center. I'd love to base the workshop on your project and learn more about it.

Would it be possible to get your contact information so we can communicate further if you're open to it?

Looking forward to your reply!

Best regards, Julien (email in bio)

"Technology has become the idol of our society, but technological progress is—more often than not—aimed at solving problems caused by earlier technical inventions."

"Interesting possibilities arise when you combine old technology with new knowledge and new materials, or when you apply old concepts and traditional knowledge to modern technology."

Re:Two Screens on Thursday June 11, 2020 @08:05AM (#23487912)
I do also have two screens: one laptop for work and one PC for personal usage (my company does not allow me to use the laptop for personal usage). Individually we can all find "mitigating factors" but collectively we failed finding the right balance between comfort and sustainability.

The multi-screen trend is now pursuing its mainstreamification to every offices and home desktops. But at the same time Earth is sending us warnings: we need to slow down. Given the state of our knowledge on that matter, I am surprised that the general consensus on YN is not to have less screens and reserve the resources to better usage.

Can we have prosperity without growth? No. Can we have sustainability with growth? No. Then we can not have prosperity and sustainability. Can we afford not having sustainability? No. Then we can not afford prosperity.

Electricity (energy) is a resource.
"Maintaining people's quality of life" is already a denial of reality. And "China or India will continue on their current path" as long as our air conditioning, computers, and other objects will be built over there.

The fact that "cheap" products are important does not reinforce your first statement that "if consumer behavior changes, the markets will to". When a family can afford a swimming pool because there are now ones you can buy for 8 dollars I won't call it a vote. In my opinion, buying can be assimilated to a vote when your wallet is big enough to let you consider several market options.
Re:Durable Design (2017) on Thursday June 27, 2019 @02:24AM (#20292170)
It is more complicated than this. Many do not have enough in their wallet to 'vote' based on their values.
No, you had it right. You need to cool the freezer because you put it in the store. The more you heat the store (and the freezer is heating the store), the more you need to cool the freezer.
I think he did not have time to implement yet. The page has been created today.
