Makes sense. With battery technology improving and being the cheapest it's ever been, why not? This is probably the direction most countries will go in the future.

Yes this is a particular interest of mine, the various interpretations of QM. Most physicists subscribe to the Copenhagen interpretation, but I still find it has philosophical quandaries. He mentioned many-worlds. Bohmian mechanics has been shown to be inadequate.

Blokhinstev's ensemble interpretation, which I like, is unattractive to many.

I still like Ubuntu for a few reasons. The design. Dock on the side. The fact that it's really popular and well supported.

But of course feel free to distro hop yourself.

How much better can you make a TV? Also the margins are quite thin. Companies like LG and Samsung have pretty much perfected it.

The Snowden PRISM revelations showed that all the major tech companies work with the US government and its spy agencies. Can't trust anyone.

If you're in a power outage with solar and a battery you are so much better off than without that.

I've been running the beta on my machines. Definitely a huge upgrade over Tahoe. Visually and performance-wise.

You need fossil fuels as feedstock for your chemical industry.

And obviously energy too, until Europe completely electrifies .

So it's quite a big deal when gas goes from being cheap and reliable to expensive and unreliable.

I don't get why people sometimes talk as if it's just large corporations that contributed to emissions.

It all makes a difference. There's no doubt that individual consumption contributes a lot to global emissions. Like large houses that use a lot of material, cement etc and cost a lot to heat and cool.

And those large corporations exist to serve customers. It's not like we could simply get rid of them.

But we obviously need to also look at the ways that we can work together to save emissions where possible.
