  • That is actually precisely what the "paradox of the cock" is saying.

    A rooster crows every morning. They observe this and conclude that statistically, they can't die. Which is bullshit, ofc.

  • A cool guide to birth commonality
  • are there absolute numbers? it would be interesting to know how big is the deviation.

  • How big is the oil market
  • good question. my bet is aluminum production would go up, because it's frankly a nice material to work with, has excellent properties in many fields, and if electricity becomes cheap/clean, then there's nothing stopping the aluminum world-domination.

  • The enormous scale of global food waste.
  • Actually, that's a good thing, because if some extraordinary event happens, like a gigantic volcano eruption, we want to have food to spare.

  • Why not build them at the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point?

  • Unix rule
  • I don't know why I just read "UNIX" in a french accent.

  • contempt of rule
  • I do wonder why people buy smart TVs instead of getting regular displays together with a Linux PC.

  • yeah i know i was joking

    maybe it wasn't a good joke ^^

  • Open means "uben" in german so

    Free Libre Open Source Software is FLUSS in german and that roughly translates to "fucking" and I think that's beautiful.

  • This post hit me like a bus
  • not sure what to say about this

    if cats were inherently superior to dogs, dogs wouldn't exist in the first place. but dogs exist because they have their niche. what's the drama all about?

    [discussion] DC (direct current) power network

    As we all know, AC won the "War of the Currents". The reasoning behind this is that AC voltage is easy to convert up/down with just a ring of iron and two coils. And high voltage allows us to transport current over longer distances, with less loss.

    Now, the War of the Currents happened in 1900 (approximately), and our technology has improved a lot since then. We have useful diodes and transistors now, we have microcontrollers and Buck/Boost converters. We can transform DC voltage well today.

    Additionally, photovoltaics produces DC naturally. Whereas the traditional generator has an easier time producing AC, photovoltaic plants would have to transform the power into AC, which, if I understand correctly, has a massive loss.

    And then there's the issue of stabilizing the frequency. When you have one big producer (one big hydro-electric dam or coal power plant), then stabilizing the frequency is trivial, because you only have to talk to yourself. When you have 100000 small producers (assume everyone in a bigger area has photovoltaics on their roof), then suddenly stabilizing the frequency becomes more challenging, because everybody has to work in exactly the same rhythm.

    I wonder, would it make sense to change our power grid from AC to DC today? I know it would obviously be a lot of work, since every consuming device would have to change what power it accepts from the grid. But in the long run, could it be worth it? Also, what about insular networks. Would it make sense there? Thanks for taking the time for reading this, and also, I'm willing to go into the maths, if that's relevant to the discussion.

    grindset does not rule

    Hey there, I wanted to make a meme to clarify what the "grindset" actually does. It grinds the human to dust.

    With "grindset" I mean the "hard-working" mindset that lots of people in the US seam to have.

    I think it's very unhealthy, exhausts the body, and should be avoided. People should make a living with less than 50 hours of work per week.

    technological advancement

    scene from Ice Age - No Time For Nuts (2006)

    it is a dystopian future where we technologically advance the planet to a state where there's no oak trees anymore. the above picture (supposed to be utopian) always appears dystopian to me, so i made this meme.
