ACX has a review on book that goes on exploring this: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/book-review-the-man-from-th...

I hope they succeed, but probably will fail with too complex design. Original 2cv is wonderfully simple. If they can keep that simplicity, they will win.

Neoliberalism and right-wing austerity.

Also, earlier Nokia got sniped by Microsoft and profitable wood industries were decimated by transition from paper magazines (high quality, high value add paper) to digital (no paper) --> industry now makes pulp, which is low-value-add.

It is so sad, same in Finland, just one huge plantation.

There is, but the amount of primary forests (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old-growth_forest ) is much lower than the amount of plantations

It is not really forest, but plantation, actively managed and quite low in nature values/diversity. There is a push from EU to conserve the last remaining primary forests in Finland, but it is being opposed by the government and industry.

A big part of that fight is setting up the criteria for primary forests, so I can't easily give you a percentage number of how much of Finland is forest. But not much.

Sadly not. I think I did not hear anything about this in schooling (Finland).

I have also had good experiences with Ruuvi Tags and Ruuvi Air. Sane, open systems, responsive support.

I wonder, did he do it on purpose?

If we would have any idea about how aligment works.

I'd argue we can't align humans to neccessarily degree to ensure even semi stable future. Or nations, or corporations.

Engine is not the problem, but the battery and volume + weight it brings. Easily +200-400 kg to the weight of the car.

Sounds like optimal solution to me.

Latency can be managed by having shared connections (for example: https://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article42/ssh-connection-shari... ), so handshakes don't make everything super slow

And one scary observation related to this is that warm water will also hold less oxygen for marine life, literally throttling that part of our life-support.

Why? Sorry about my ignorance, but what will happen in about 120 days?

I found this: https://faculty.up.edu/lulay/failure/vasacasestudy.pdf . Fascinating failure

Don't threaten me with good time!

I think in this case parasitoid has a specific meaning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitoid

>Parasitoidism is one of six major evolutionary strategies within parasitism, distinguished by the fatal prognosis for the host, which makes the strategy close to predation.

Can we trust them to enough? If they have a medical emergency (which is quite probable, old people are in risk of all kinds of trouble, even before the harsh environment of spaceships), will the whole mission fail?

We generally have selected the most vigorous military personnel to participate in these types of missions, using old volunteers would be quite a change.

Would not count it as forest, but plantation, if it is heavily managed.

I agree. And how all of our meager steps towards trying to learn the pre-requisites of sustainable colonies (eg. closed cycle ecology) have failed miserably. For example Biosphere program (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosphere_2 ).

And the only working ecological system we can study is being destroyed by humanity and capital on record pace.

The energy balance just does not work with current agricultural paradigm. For example, plowing is really energy intensive and electric tractors just can't carry the required amount of batteries. Too heavy tractors compact the earth and sink in bad weather conditions.

For electrification to really proceed in ag, we need a revolution in the paradigm, something that removes most of the energy heavy processes.

Sadly it will also burn other stuff around. If it would only eat itself, I would watch with glee. But when it eats the life-sphere and our lifesupport before, I feel less gleeful

If you ever are looking to implement that EV battery as house backup, this repo might be useful: https://github.com/dalathegreat/Battery-Emulator

I did mine with it and old leaf 24kwh battery (~60k km). After all the safety margins I get ~15 kwh out of the battery.

Not end to end encrypted? I'd wager most email traffic is encrypted while in transit, but of course that depends on the service providers. And it does sit unencrypted when stored.

War is often times even negative sum game.

This can be a bit of a class thing. If one has enough money/capital/savings to weather the unemployment, why panic? And if one has been raised in environment where there never are such buffers, panic is the default answer.

It is still useful for many workloads, I use it in work and on my own machines

I think MWh is meant, otherwise it makes no sense
