The only problem for the Amazon rainforest is high birth rates in Brazil and in the rest of the world. If high birth rates continue, then there will be no more rainforest, I can assure you.
Yes, it hasn't succeeded, but progress in this field of science are incredibly fast. Neuromorphic computers are evolving fast. Of course, a human brain is very complex and performing, but I think that I will be alive to see singularity.
There is no solution to climate change. Climate change will occur, whatever we do. Human activity is polluting, it's inevitable. To avoid climate change, we should have listened to the Club of Rome, in 1972, when they published "the limits to growth". We should have installed a Malthusian politic, to avoid high birth rates. Now it is much too late.
I totally agree. In my job, we work 37h30 a week, and have supplementary holidays. So it makes a day lasting 8h30, including one hour pause at midday. For me, concentrating during 7h30 is impossible, usually, after 6h of work, I am completely saturated. Same thing for me, takes the whole evening to cool down before sleep. For me, a programmer should work 6h30 a day, that would be a good starting point.
When I discovered ReactOS, I was passionate about it, I always downloaded the latest version available in order to test it in VirtualBox. But then, I noticed that the project was evolving so slowly, that it could never catch up his delay from Windows.
I live in France near Paris, and I can tell you it's very hot down here. I did not go to work today ( I work only 4 days a week), and I had a headache all through the day. I had an appointment in town, that I cancelled because it was too hot.
Ageism is the consequence of high birth rates. If many young people are available at low prices, why would you pay more for an older worker ? You can't have everything, have three children and then asking for a high salary. There are choices to be made in life.
I will never use Chrome, because I don't want to strengthen Google's monopoly, it is as simple as that, even if Chrome is better. It is a matter of common sense.
