You should look up some of the new structural wood techniques being used.

Sorry, bullshit. This is the basic human experience in any social group. I'm not American either and this is a universal experience.

You could write a similar paragraph about any time in history. China, for one, is far less genocidal than they were a few decades ago, as hard as it is to believe. Overall it's far less likely for people to die in wars than at any time in human history.

Yes, I live in an area of Canada where they are trying to put up wind turbines in major bird migration routes. Wind/solar/hydro cheerleading is really hard to fight despite the massive ecosystem damage that each generation source does.

Unfortunately Gilbert seems to be at the end of his life. We'll see if Detroit can continue its revitalization without his money.

Our North American aquifiers are drying up and topsoil is being blown away? I live in a major farming province of Canada and none of this is true. There's a massive worldwide glut of wheat this year because there are so many good crop-producing areas around the world and this has been true for decades.

Hell hath no fury like print media commenting on tech companies encroaching on their space. When did anyone actually love studio executives and their excessive compensation?

This blog post was my bi-yearly reminder that a thing called Mastodon exists.

Right, but oil as used for transportation is the far harder nut to crack.

The U.S. is one of the few countries that actually prosecutes financial fraud. Here in Canada we've quietly become the world's money laundering leader, or at least second only to Switzerland and there's essentially zero resources dedicated to any kind of enforcement.

Heh, I don't think Europeans get to get their tails up given that they are the world kings and queens of criticizing everybody else in the world.

There's a Wired article from almost fifteen years ago taking the piss out of fMRI.

According to 'Devs', you just need a few quantum computers and lots of gold tinfoil.

A lot of people on this forum have been aware with the issues in social science and medical research for a long time, it's only under real stress that it's become an issue that will get wide coverage.

The next fiasco-in-the-making to watch is the 'evidence-based' criminal justice reform sure to come to a lot more American cities soon.

This should be Walmart's lane: no third-party sellers, just the best place to buy branded, verified products.

I didn't even know there was an Eclipse Foundation either. I thought they were an Apache Foundation project.

I'm a Canadian starting to look for a California retirement property and I'm hoping the same. This is the problem with most desireable real estate markets: there's always people on the sidelines waiting to come in.

I came to Macs as a longtime Windows/Linux user for software developmemt. There's no way I would ever go back. My 2015 Air is rock solid, never any problems despite being used 8-12 hours per day and you get Unix underneath. Just bought a new Air so I can have a backup machine.

You shut your mega-financed zero-sum mouth.

It's not just 4K, it's Dolby Vision as well with the extended brightness and color gamut. Well worth the money, Netflix is by far the best looking service you can get on your television.

All of the Chinese case studies and trial results are ending up on biorxiv and other sites. The CDC is not a business and wouldn't be affected by trade considerations.

This article is literally about the EU asking Netflix to reduce bandwidth in Europe.

Not enough uses of the word capitalism for my taste.

This article wasn't much more than what you'd see in daily discussion over at /r/cyberpunk.

This was not a great article.

Maybe we should wait a bit until figuring out what works and what doesn't in this case.

Transparent Society is still the best book on the subject and I agree with you whole-heartedly about the societal ground shifting.

Dwarfed by China, which has no need for outside finance of any power infrastructure.

In North America and Europe I would rather see these billionaires donate to land conservation which is as big a direct environmental issue as climate change. Bezos' $10B would have gone a long way to saving Florida's Everglades or helping the Lousisiana coastline.

Most people in North America are not from northern latitudes genetically unless we are talking about the UK and Germany and even then..
