This makes an important difference!

As a non US person. Can someone explain the innovation of this? What should be better here? Is there anything I have missed? As I understand from the Wikileaks cables, the American government prevented Russia to establish their own credit card system. So they can better spy on the people as they have full access to MasterCard and visacards transactions. So how can this be about privacy?

I met Vaclav Smil 3 years ago in Zurich and talked with him. He told me, he doesn't believe in climate change. I find that very odd. His books might still be good so.

I wonder if Apple considers options to take the Facebook Apps out of the App Store.

I am pretty much impressed by the January spike / trend. This is kind of mirroring the growth potential behind these products. Just by a rise in awareness. Somewhat something I believe is slowly developing globally - that people become more and more aware of the stark issues of climate change and the already high quality of the solutions.

I love this news!

So, I think water should also be measured in amount of scarce water. There is no issue when there is enough fresh water supply.

Tell me again. What is his issue?

You suspect some insurance fraud?

Wow. This is too much!

If we not burn it, actually

AFAIK garlic does too. But the solution creates another problem because of higher nitrous oxide (n2o) concentrations. Which is much worse for the climate.

It pains me that the article speaks obviously of a female manager. But then often the writer unwillingly mixes it up, and makes her a male. It smells a bit like gender bias.

Most animal produce is only a good source of B12 because the animals have been supplemented themselves. Lack of B12 is more an effect of industrialization of the food production. Less of the type of diet you choose.

Twitter is a simple technology that connects people, and the current presidency is IMO not their fault.

Twitter just brought up to the surface what was already there but hidden. I am sorry that everyone now has to go through a lot of pain with the current presidency. But I think getting there is the only effective way for society to realize that your (US) political, social and educational system (just to name a few) are completely broken. And you have got to fix it. Most people didn't know how bad it is fucked up, now it becomes obvious. You got the president you earned.

Twitter so just made it possible, that you are able to face your true challenges.

Don't blame the messenger...

React Fiber was beautifully described by Lin on the last reactconf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCuYPiUIONs Congratulations to the release.

Indeed. Organic beef has more CO₂, because it is about twice as long on the field (and releases therefor more methane into the air). Things become questionable - chickens are way better on CO2/kg of meat, because they are cramped into small cages. Trade-offs...

thank you

51% includes also respiration of cows, which should be net zero, because it is exactly the CO₂ that was captured by the plants before. (which is not okay to do)

Also 51% because equivalent calculations are not done over the span of 100 years, but shorter (methane becomes more dominant) and deforestation is also accounted for - (which is both fine).

So it is somewhere in between the results of renovated studies that say it is around 31% (e.g. Tukker et al) and the 51% worldwatch report.

Founder of Eaternity here. Putting facts to the issue, we have collected the largest database to calculate the CO₂ emissions for food - and it is freely available: www.eaternity.org

And I do wonder why google maps with much more data hasn't done this...

As I do understand, conventions manifest often in the setting of defaults for configurations. These defaults are inherently opinionated, and therefor hinder the free development of innovation in a open source community. As it will always favor a specific solution over another.

Conventions over configurations comes to the benefit for small team, beginners and is in general more fun to code with. But it comes at the cost of being much slower in adopting new patterns and innovations. As there is currently so much speed in javascript development happening, I wonder if for now configuration do outpace conventions, until the battle field has settled.

React has acknowledged the situation and tries to get the best of both world with its quest for a React CLI. Did they know about it at the time of writing?

And in actually announcing this commitment now, that this one would be the final hardware, could also be just forced, as they need to sell it to all the people getting cars now with temporary less functionality.

he delays announcement, just to do the write up right.

yes, that is why this announcement was necessary. Otherwise people would have been confused with their new cars.

It was already announced before, that the hardware is included. And it was clear, that it is meant to be used for autonomous driving. And as they do not have autonomous driving yet, this is indeed just hot air... How would they know it is completed if there is no demonstration of it actually working?

Google at their last conference put AI so central – as the next big thing, that I just can't help to think, that Apple was forced to follow that path. So they used the terminology of "AI" and "deep learning" in their presentation. Yet it didn't make me confident they are really up to it. That they really have the expertise, to make this into something that does work (even on the phone itself! - all the other deep learning algorithm need huge frameworks with GPUs!)

Myself, I wasn't able to experience the promised virtues of AI from Google itself. So I wouldn't go as far to call it a bluff from Google. But definitely from Apple, as of now.
