You're not concerned about how having such a large percentage of population becoming basically useless due to psychological problems can trouble the future of mankind?

Russia might have done it in order of causing pressure in Europe and to blame Ukraine.

They blew up the dam and also blamed the Ukrainians. They're also apparently rigging a NPP they control to blow up and are already trying to put the blame on Ukrainians as well.

It's a tendency, but we went a bit off-topic here.

> If climate change is not a thing or not man-made, the worst outcome would be missing a few percentage points of economic growth by unnecessarily restricting energy sources.

This is a bit reductive of what is happening. How about the psychological damage done by the fear mongering caused by these type of news regarding climate change?

What shocked me even more is that many people didn't even broke a sweat when they destroyed that dam, which by itself is a climate disaster. They're also threatening blowing up a nuclear plant.

> Thus, I think it is reasonable to rely on the decades of evidence and science that have led to a concensus among the people that spend their entire lifes studying the topic.

That's the thing, I could use the same argument to believe in "god" by saying that priest spend their entire lives studying the matter so I should believe them when they say it exists. Yet I'm an atheist. You see where I'm getting at right?

My entire take on this is that we should really do something about it. Specially since, in the chance they're actually right we'd be both saving the world and improving people's health. Going around in a city with smog is very bad for your lungs.

Edit: Though screwing over the mental health of an entire generation over it might defeat the purpose of "saving the world" or "saving humanity".

Again this what I meant by we being too cooky. You're speaking about taking a water bottle, fill it with CO2 and use it to represent the entire planet.

Yes, like I said I'm aware of the facts.

Disclaimer: I'm not a climate change denier, I think we should stop burning fossil fuels ASAP.

Though I'm one to question a lot of things and this is my 2 cents. How the hell we know this current changes are completely abnormal? I read about some weird climate anomalies centuries ago and of course there's a lot of evidence that current events are completely abnormal but one question always come to my mind.

What if we're wrong? What if we're being too cooky thinking that by having looked into some evidence that made sense, we're not completely wrong here and current events are just part of a cycle in the planet weather?

Again, I'm questioning but I don't need you guys to present me the proof, I'm aware of it. Just questioning if we're not wrong all along and are here destroying our mental health for nothing. Seems like even by the 1940s standards our generation is being constantly swarmed with problems which we can't fix, which are causing all sort of mental issues due to the complete stress we live in.

This being said, the switch from fossil fuels should be done ASAP, even if we're wrong and it's not causing issues in the environment, they are for sure causing health issues.

This article is from 2013 and I can say, 10 years after the article was originally launched situation got even worse...

If CIA and every world secret agency wasn't already after these people, they are now.

Its a vicious cycle. The more adblocking people do the worse that ads get since they need to be more agressive to make more money to make for the people who use AdBlock.

Well they can endup agreeing Apple Switzerland will never use the brand for the same areas that Apple US does.

So technically Apple should change their logo?

Funny, I deleted my account some time ago because I was starting to see how much of a dumpster fire Reddit has become.

Then this happens...

This title is super sensationalist. Any distracted reader will think that the drone killed an actual human being, which is a lie since the claims was that it happened in a virtual environment.

Anything for a click these days?

So NVIDIA will be to AI what Adobe is to media production: An absolute cancer.

Well, that's what happen when you get the extreme-left to run your country.

Firing you for using the only browser that actually makes a decent implementation of web standards?

Phew you dodged a bullet there, they are a sh* company for sure. Hope you find a suitable company soon!

Build more nuclear plants and a better grid…

Why are always these US politicans talking about banning something?

This decisions should only be up to the parents, not someone in DC...

Yeah only then. Nowadays the city has basically no anti sismic construction so Lisbon is just a city waiting to be destroyed by a similar earthquake.

Maybe will happen to be that old constructions will survive while new ones wont...

Must be some of the filters Firefox has in place. Same already happened me with Brave. Solution might be disabling those Firefox filters...

Maybe wake up to the enormous degradation of USA economy.

While USA is concerned about "modern sensitivity", the BRICS are challenging the Dollar.

Maybe americans should actually "wake up".

At this point it kinda looks like Netflix directors are purposedly trying to kill the company. No way these people can be this bad at managing a company.

My past experiences with saying anything positive about crypto has being:

- Being downvoted to hell - Comments attacking crypto disrergading completely my opinion

Dangerous to side with crypto stuff on Hackernews...

That's what I get. If people are investing into crypto, would that make it securities? For example, if I exchange some EURO for some US Dollar in Europe to avoid the EURO devaluation am I investing? That's basically what you do with cryptocurrencies.

Depends on what you consider a "Security". Are "Securities" meant to be used as currencies?

Thing is, they actually are building things people might want to use, they just don't focus enough on it. Stadia for example, was way ahead of Microsoft in image quality, fluidity, etc. After a year or two of trying to push it to customers they killed it for no reason whatsoever.

I even recall watching some comments of sad people who would need another gaming streaming service because they used Stadia for their gaming needs. It was a ridiculous decision that nobody understood why. They also screwed up game devs who were porting their games to Stadia, which will for sure have repercusions in future services.
