If it's strictly EU, I'd say probably Denmark

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_...

But you mention Switzerland which is not in the EU, so maybe you just meant Europe?

Ireland is a little lower on the list but has a large number of European HQs of big companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Paypal, AirBnb etc. But the price of housing here is extortionate right now.

Consider the cost of living, not just the highest salary. Norway, Denmark and Switzerland are among the most expensive places to live in the world. You'll pay a lot of your wages in rent, food, tax, utilities etc.

> The breakthrough reveals that Enceladus is stocked with all right materials to support life as we know it, and hints that phosphorus may be present in other possible ocean worlds far from Earth, such as Neptune’s moon Triton or the dwarf planet Pluto. At this point, nobody knows if any of these places are actually inhabited by aliens, but the new results bolster the evidence that habitable conditions may be common in the solar system, and possibly beyond it.

Cool findings. Calling life on a neighbouring planet "aliens" sounds weird to me. I suppose it's correct but I've always thought of "aliens" as life outside of our solar system.

amazing! looking forward to seeing it on github!

please let us not all start chugging Monster to live longer. 2 grams of taurine will surely be nullified by all the other crap in there

> humans can synthesize taurine, it's a major component of bile, so I'm unclear what mechanism could cause supplementation to have significant effects.

If the amount we synthesize drops over time then supplementing that would be beneficial?

I'm sure there are parallels in other things the body synthesizes

> That feels more like a technology 100-200 years ahead of us, akin to science fiction

So my theory is in about 150 years, DJI will release a drone with a time-travel capability, and the UFOs we see now are people in 2170 trolling us.

it would be super ironic if we were using old crude oil powered container ships to move around units of renewable energy

and if they do find someone to acquire them, and they are successful, the first EV they produce will be another SUV

yeah Im not a gambler. got it backwards =)

I mean "certain to happen"

It's a safe bet the first model they build from that selection of designs is the SUV.

Every EV car company out there is chasing the SUV market

edit: I got my odds backwards.

Plenty people take exactly that view, when it comes to cancer.

The problem is, this is not cancer, and all the people who take the "fucked anyway" view are damning the rest of us

is a virtual conversational companion worse than the current porn industry? seems like it would be a solid improvement over what we have today, which involves real people being dehumanised for entertainment.

I lol'ed

I never understood the reference "It really whips the llama's ass"

Was the llama a competitor or something? or some kind of weird in joke?

Yes. Why drop the screen at all? No reason you couldn't have glasses like this on a regular laptop, adding a second screen "behind" your main display. Or just close it to about 45 degrees.

I love the idea of a private display, or a floating multiscreen layout, but I dont want to sacrifice the regular screen for that.

yeah I just meant chatting to a PDF file seems like such an odd concept. Kind of like dancing with spreadsheet

Send this headline back in time five years and you would utterly bewilder people.

wow, I did not know that!

other fun fact I learned from wikipedia - "German-Americans make up the largest self-reported ancestry group within the United States accounting for roughly 49 million people and approximately 17% of the population of the US"

Telly is slang for TV here in the british isles - does it exist over there too?

Well they do speak French

As a non-american I dont really understand the context here? I get the "CA not a slave state" bit, but is the CA population dropping? and how does this feed into that?

AHK was my go to solution for the longest time, and I had some amazing shortcuts, but I often struggled with writing more complex scripts because of the language not working the way I wanted it to. I might try again now.

> Given multiple sources saying different things, It's hard to predict. Though what we are seeing are feedback loops that are causing exponential effects.

> Gambling solely on 2000 years because it's a more convenient prediction would be unwise.

I agree with both of these things. It's all so unpredictable.

But I do think there's a sort of terror-cult around climate change which is not very helpful. The extreme doom scenarios are easier for people to reject and disbelieve and they make people sceptical of changes that are actually, demonstrably happening already.

Wikipedia

> In the next 2,000 years the sea level is predicted to rise > by 2–3 m (6–10 ft) if the temperature rise peaks at 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), > by 2–6 m (6–19 ft) if it peaks at 2 °C (3.6 °F) and > by 19–22 m (62–72 ft) if it peaks at 5 °C (9.0 °F)

Additionally

> If temperature rise stops at 2 °C (3.6 °F) or at 5 °C (9.0 °F), the sea level would still continue to rise for about 10,000 years. In the first case it will reach 8–13 m (26–42 ft) above pre-industrial level, and in the second 28–37 m (92–12 ft).

It is over 2000 years though. By 2100 the absolute worst case scenarios have sea level rise at about 2m

(note: I rounded down halves of ft to make it more readable, but the metres are unchanged)

This is such a great idea! Thank you!

true I guess. maybe its just something I'm used to. distance-per-fuel-amount just seems intuitively more useful to me than fuel-amount-per-distance, even if they're two sides to the same coin

I think most countries in Europe would have local solar panel sellers. I'm in Ireland which is usually pretty bad for availability of things, (for example, there's no amazon.ie - we have to buy from UK or DE) and even here we have solartricity.ie, solarstore.ie and several others.

Longi panels are what I got, if you want a recognisable brand name Panasonic also do them.

not in NL but my parents have the same problem - glass roofed extension stops the installation

I dont understand why they can't just access the roof from the other side, climb over the apex and down. They walk all around on the roof once they're up there, does it really matter which side they climb?
