> simply education, since voters are pushing strongly against clean energy

This isn't a matter of education, it's a matter of duelling propaganda systems. You can't just dismiss the problems, they have to be presented in a balanced context along with solutions.

> "wind turbines kill birds"

True but needs the massive qualifier that this isn't a big impact on bird populations compared to habitat loss, domestic cats and even glass buildings.

> "nuclear plants go Chernobyl"

True? Needs the qualifier that, apart from the people in the immediate area, and farmers in Europe who had to destroy produce, the effect wasn't too bad comparatively.

> "electric cars are expensive|auto-update like Windows and brick on you"

The first is true, hence subsidies in much of the west. For high mileage they are cheaper to run. The second is true for Tesla, but I can see it being expanded even to petrol cars; something of a separate issue.

> "batteries are worse for the environment than fossil fuels").

This one is probably false.
>And this isn't a "tin foil hat" post or a conspiracy theory. It's food for thought.

You can say that too when you bring up some 9/11 truther "questions". Doesn't make it less of a conspiracy theory.

That was case years ago. Nowadays people just buy refillable tanks with disposable coils that perform on par or better with what an above average person can create. The devices are inexpensive when amortized over months-years depending on how well taken care of. 30-200 is the range for devices with the sweet spot around 60-100. Tanks are 20-50, but a lot of devices include them. Coils are about $2 or less wholesale/from China, and retail for 5-15/ea depending on how greedy/low volume the shop is. Coils last for 1-4 weeks. Juice costs about $0.01-0.04/ml to make and 60ml bottles previously sold online for $5ish, they go for 20-60/ea in retail stores including taxes. Yeah, $0.6-2.40 in product is being sold for 10-30x the cost to manufacture. At most half of that is tax, the rest is profit and funding asinine marketing or paying for lawyers and lobbyists to pull the ladder up. This ain’t about children, it’s about a cash cow.

Source: I’m friendly with a few people that have run vape shops/companies and got out because they can’t afford to lobby against Phillip Morris or comply with pmta with annual revenue in the tens to low hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I’ll take cotton Candy clouds over cigar smoke every single time.
Because EVs are quite expensive and need lots of infrastructure. We basically have to double our electricity production when we are still struggling to just get the current load without EVs on renewables. We need to upgrade our power grid with more carrying capacity and more storage, which is neither cheap nor easy. And even then, that just solves cars, not transport of goods. There is a whole load of additional problems to solve there, like hydrogen production and distribution or synfuels.

This "just use EVs" alone is not viable for anything but the industrialised countries, and even there most are struggling with the cost and public support. Here in Germany, nobody wants any more windmills or power lines, yet we are only at less than one quarter of what we need overall. Meanwhile electricity is already extremely expensive over here.

Reducing meat consumption is only easy if you don't like meat or like to castigate yourself. I personally would rather see Miami sink into the ocean than not eat as much meat anymore. And I know a majority of the population thinks this way.

Now take the above and tell that to the inhabitants of an up-and-coming nation like China, Brazil, Nigeria or South Africa. They'll just laugh at you I guess. They want their piece of the cake, too.
Whoops, confused actual population with the expected maximum carrying capacity in the book. Sorry.

In my very personal and non-European opinion, most flicks and tricks are only great to watch on Youtube highlight reels :P. Haven't been watching for 20-30 years but even in my 4K TV/monitor, Neymar's showboating is not as impressive without the commentator pointing it out or in close-up replay. Imagine how field play footage from even 15 years ago would look like to a casual today.

What's nice to watch even in bird's-eye wide-field view are great dribblers (like Messi) and great team tactics (if you know what to watch out for).

> Is it possible that football clubs are optimizing for the wrong things?

Man, tactical philosophy is another religous war to get into. Mourinho vs. Guardiola could be an ideological debate to rival our beloved tabs vs. spaces.

If you're trying to get into this, I'd say find a team whose narrative you like and start with them.

> Would there be a way to change the game so that artistry is stimulated

I think this depends on team tactics. The tactic dictates the behavior of individual players.

I haven't followed football as closely in the last two years but I think your best bet for teams like this is either Paris St-Germain or try to watch games in the South American leagues. After all it's the South American (Brazil, in particular) players who are well known for this.

(As for PSG, they paid a king's ransom to get Neymar in their team, and Neymar loves to play like he's still in the streets of Brazil. So I assume they built a team and tactics that allows him to do what he loves.)

It's not disingenuous or lazy. Many people of the past died during heatwaves. The reason that doesn't happen so much these days is that we have cheap, plentiful, reliable power from fossil fuels. Renewables aren't up to it, at least not reliably. Is it not a tad psycho to advocate the abolition of fossil fuels that could easily put many people back in the situation of dying due to heat or cold... while sitting in the comfort provided by fossil fuel powered AC? Please, at least write such messages in the dark, sweating.
I agree with you Covid is small percent human problem, Global Warming is almost all life on planet threat.
What you have misunderstood from my comment, is that I my comment was about reaction of policy makers, wealthy people and wide public, as it is not in line with level of threat and what smartest people on planet say about that threat.

It is some strange irony of being human - only when we start experiencing issues we perceive it personally as real danger then it becomes real, and often at that time is too late. Way too late.

And we are already 20 years late with global warming fixes. I am not saying it is end of story, but time for making a dent is quickly closing and we are still at the stage of convincing people it is real.

Or maybe it's not as simple as you think? "Baffled" is a strong word. It's the same "baffled" that Amazon can't find all the fake reviews. The same "baffled" that Facebook can't delete all your photos, everywhere, when you close an account.

Because I tend to be sceptical of those articles.

Then, they guess some random values for Apple's purchasing costs.

This baby is only protecting big corps now. Nothing can be done at the moment without violating some "rounded corners" patent. The only reason individuals can get away with it for a while is that it is not worth for patent holders chasing. As soon as they make some money the vultures come down.
Do you mean that fundamental rights are anything we want them to be ? So if we want, we could decide that the right to be free of criminal activity (particularly ones that encourage or lead to degradation, depression, death, etc. of children) is more fundamental than the right of privacy ? I think there's something more to being fundamental. Otherwise it seems all very arbitrary. Calling something fundamental could change at the whim of the majority.

CO2-to-jetfuel is possible. CO2 and agriculture tends to be a matter of accounting; cows emit methane, as do a lot of decay processes. From a practical point of view farmers who are on subsidized diesel already will probably be the last to change.

Nitrogen fertilizer can be made renewably. The nonrenewability of phosphorous and potassium deposits may be more of a problem.
> Screens that don't accept finger input feel broken to anyone under 20.

These same people have clearly never tried using a laptop long-term with just the touchscreen. It's painful, not just in the figurative sense that desktop operating systems were not designed for touchscreens (even Windows which attempted a hybrid model, is still crap), but in the literal sense that holding your arm up all day to use it gets really tiring, really fast. Even convertible formats suffer the same problems, they often end up bulky and are never really a good replacement for either a tablet or a proper laptop.

> Fully expect the M2 MBP to have a touch screen and possibly a convertible format.

Arguably, Apple's already got that market covered with the iPad and Magic Keyboard. I think we would sooner see an iPad SKU running macOS than any MacBook going to a convertible style.

I don't mean to blame green energy for the grid not being able to handle the recent heat wave. But I do blame the closing of the Indian Point Nuclear power plant. Nuclear is a fantastic source of carbon neutral energy but plants are being shut down in both New York and California, without alternative energy sources in place to pick up the slack
Yeah, historical linguistics distinguishes between a language being influenced by another vs. descending from another.

For example, English is descended from Old English (a Germanic language), but was very heavily influenced by French (a Romance language, i.e. descended from Latin). The grammatical structure and origin of basic words are still more Germanic than Romance.
About Change in FinTech – Startup Ecosystem and the Use of AI
Here before this blows up
> admitting that climate change is reality would in consequence require massive, expensive, and hugely uncomfortable changes in one's lifestyle.

I think you are right about people's thoughts on this.

But it's important to counter that it won't be massively expensive to switch away from fossil fuels, and will likely be cheaper. Decarbonization while maintaining lifestyles, and increasing the energy consumption of developing countries, will not require sacrifice from everyone. No, it simply means disrupting the usual energy sources with new technology, and fossil fuel companies are hugely influential, and have situated themselves deeeeeply within the power structures, especially after the energy crisis of the 1970s.

So because a very few investors have a lot of money at stake, and because they are so extremely influential, and so good at manipulating popular opinion, and even better at influencing power to act in favor of fossil fuels, we see very little action. The only tech missing from the decarbonization transition are some industrial processes like steel, ammonia, and concrete. We don't yet know if hydrogen or carbon capture will be better, or some other new chemistries. But it will be solvable and the worst case cost will not be drastic.

Renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels currently. Batteries are on their way to be cheaper than gas powered cars. Batteries are already cheaper than natural gas peakers, and will soon be cheaper than coal.

Christopher Clack's latest models, which model the electrical grid down to the distribution level along with weather patterns, show us a path to save lots of money while decarbonizing the electrical grid at the pace we need to. Yet nobody talks about this on the news, we only get paid PR to subtly tell us that we need fossil fuels. And in the Murdoch media empire, they are so far detached from scientific knowledge, and so deep in the pocket of narrow investment interests, that we have entire political tribes fighting against their own financial and survival interests, merely to help out fossil fuel investors.

"When will people wake up?" "Politicians don't care!" "Rich people are just greedy!" "Animals are dying!" "Science deniers!"

What are those but moral and/or intellectual superiority declarations? And they're false too! We historically never cared or done as much for the environment as we do right now. Cars are getting stricter pollution norms on a schedule. Home appliances are rated by efficiency, we even banned some things like traditional light bulbs. Vacuum cleaners have a maximum draw power by law! Garbage collection is more expensive if not sorted. We pump money into renewable energy. We banned plastic cups and bags and even straws. Industry besides being regulated and checked is economically incentivized to consume as little energy as possible. We have naturally protected areas and species, we regulated fishing, etc, etc. We even have some clear positive results like pollution going down in big cities compared to last century.

Maybe it's not enough right now. But it's downright dishonest to say we don't care or do. The solutions left to be found are nowhere clear or easy. We don't have infinite resources to do things, we can't force every country to do the same, change takes time, etc.
> I've been cranking up my AC and adding ice to my water to combat the heat but I recently read an article about sea-life [0] boiling to death in their natural habitats (oceans, seas) which made me realize that animals in the wild increasingly don't have this option.
