dunslandsbooon Spain, Sweden, and Belgium Soar to New Heights in Wind and Solar Power

We are in a stage where the developing nations still have a lot of room to grow and this will ramp up their co2 output, and considering China alone is already outputting more than the whole western world, will this really matter in the end?

dunslandsbooon Europe drastically cut its energy consumption this winter

It was a fun game for the well off green voters indeed. LARPing that they are saving the planet by reacting to a higher energy bill. Tracking it all with their fun home assistant gadgets and showing off at work how much they are saving. It had no real impact on them, and most would go fly around the world to celebrate the holiday as soon as they had the chance.

For the working class however, the people really affected by the green policies, it was a matter of choosing between heat and groceries.

For the environment it doesn't matter one bit as China is using more energy than the whole western world combined. It's telling that only the people that can still easily pay the bills see this as something to be celebrated.

Why do you want to change the behaviour of women regarding their choice of study field?

dunslandsbooon An FDA for Algorithms?

From the article:

"I went to go and give a talk in Berlin about this paper we’d published about our work, and they completely tore me apart. They were asking questions like, “Hang on a second, you’re creating this algorithm that has the potential to be used to suppress peaceful demonstrations in the future. ... I’m kind of ashamed to say that it just hadn’t occurred to me at that point in time. Ever since, I have really thought a lot about the point that they made."

dunslandsbooon The Price of Anarchy

Most anarcho-capitalists that I know and from who I learn are absolutely not about "every man for himself" at all. Charity and voluntary cooperation are major parts of the society as they would like it to become.
