  • Federal pilot program launches flying cars in 8 U.S. regions summer 2026

    Jump

  • Adding a third dimension to travel introduces a lot of additional intersections. Once the initial supply and demand wobble irons out, air travel will lead to additional traffic, not less.

    It's a bad idea. And we haven't even mentioned air and sound pollution yet.

  • Global economy using PPP-adjusted GDP (2026)

    Jump

  • Turkey is in Asia, but Russia is in Europe? Can we please be consistsent.

    edit: Also, the chart states it's 2026 data. It's the beginning of March. What am I even looking at. Which wars and other events were factored in when extrapolating 6x?

  • Greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of food

    Jump

  • How much cheese do you think can be made from 1kg of milk?

  • Iceland to hold referendum on resuming EU membership bid

    Jump

  • I believe the trouble with special deals, is future resentment.

  • 40% of global ship traffic is simply moving fossil fuels around! Renewables make much of this traffic obsolete

    Jump

  • Yes, as far as I'm able to understand it, ammonia is quite promising for certain industrial purposes (and to run the tankers themselves). Engineer the right engine, and it could potentially run on ammonia while acting as a cracker. Temp store excess hydrogen, and use that for the second part of your journey (or sell it for onshore purposes).

    Jump

  • Offshore wind and onshore solar excess can be used to produce hydrogen, not coal.

    It takes extra steps and introduces inefficiencies, but it is able to store larger amounts of energy than batteries, and can be used in certain industrial processes which do not run on wires and electrons.

    In a succesfully electrified world, it is likely that some ammonia and hydrogen is shipped around the world for such use cases. The main alternative is to keep using fossils.

  • Some ships would carry ammonia, hydrogen, etc.

    Still better than the status quo.

    Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei is dead, state media confirms

    Jump
    1. Least of my worries related to Iran at the moment.
    2. After migrating to another continent, flying back home is not an overnight decision. Most people have lives in their new place as well.

  • What search engine do you guys use?

    Jump

  • Agreed. If anyone knows about an EU (or allies) search engine with a business model that's not strictly based on advertising (topped up by grants perhaps), let us know.

    I use Ecosia/Qwant for now.

    Do you think the situation in Iran will escalate regionally?

    Jump

  • I doubt it. "Back to business" in Iran means back to what? Old regime with new Ayotollah? They have replacements lined up. Israel and USA probably have attacks lined up as well.

    Without new leadership on the other hand, I doubt the IRGC will just drop their weapons in a matter of days.

    I'd start preparing for a few scenarios: home, Switzerland, elsewhere. Do you know whether the embassy can be of any help?

  • A Tiny Caribbean Island Sued the Netherlands Over Climate Change, and Won

    Jump

  • Dutch municipality sues Dutch state. As much as your meme is true, their approach makes sense.

  • Robot Vacuums Privacy

    Jump

  • Great thread. I run an old Roomba i3 with optical sensor (no camera). In the market to upgrade to a European and privacy respecting device.

  • switched back to KDE and don't regret

    Jump

  • The difference being that in the one of those cases you still need to open a browser instance before you are able to browse the web.

  • Car (lack of) privacy, and what to do about it. Let's talk about this?

    Jump

  • Weird how Renault and Dacia scored least creepy, Nissan most creepy. They're in quite a tight alliance these days.

    Other than that, completely in line with big tech and governments: most US brands are more creepy than most European brands.

  • Would you say learning a programming language is easier or harder than learning a natural language?

    Jump

  • Does anybody have examples of popular programming languages that are not targeted to English?

  • The fix to many of the worlds problems

    Jump

  • 12 in The Netherlands? I hope this includes cemeteries and embassies.

  • Work/commuting backpack, ideally not a US company

    Jump

  • Just got a Fjallraven Skule 28 for exactly this. I like it so far.

  • Europe is ready to ditch US tech for private alternatives

    Jump

  • Ready? I'm in the middle of the process. At the office, we got started as well and we're dragging our clients along.
