winReInstall··on Life cycle assessment of enzymatic PET recycling
It also gets dumped directly into the ocean from the recycling transport or dual use fishing ships. Who then fish and bring fish home.
winReInstall··on Why did the flywheel hybrid system never catch on for road cars? (2021)

A flywheeel is basically a bomb in all but name.

winReInstall··on We are drowning in information while starving for wisdom (2021)
The problem is one of the precision of the question and the scope of the answer. Usually some questions are just indicative of a complete lack of understanding of the field, basically making a whole comp science course necessary to answer in depth.

winReInstall··on Mozilla to explore healthy social media alternative
Social media should push people, but not towards face, towards social status, instead more towards the self-proclaimed goals and towards creations.

Example: I want to become good at wood working.Social media should reward me looking at courses, buying tools, getting started and posting even initial steps. It should encourage me when i fail, coax me back towards my endavour and prevent procrastination, even invite people to look at the results and find me mentors.

The ideal social media, is the one that is not needed after its done.

winReInstall··on Stanford's “Elimination of Harmful Language” Initiative
Like the "person of visible wavelength" armsrace?
winReInstall··on What happened to the first cryogenically frozen humans?
The older i get, the more i get the clining to "immortal" structures, like cathedrals and monuments. They are the only thing constant in the sea of change.
winReInstall··on Genes down-regulated in spaceflight are involved in longevity in C. elegans
It constantly damages us, so yes.. any force applied to hold constantly against will damage us.

Unless you would create a elevator that takes it down to the sea floor..
winReInstall··on Solar panels open crop lands to farming energy
There was a study in germany on this.. 20 % are enough for 80 % yield..

Sorry only have german link: https://www.oekolandbau.de/landwirtschaft/betrieb/oekonomie/...

winReInstall··on Solar panels open crop lands to farming energy
Wish we could drive solar on empty fields in winter..
winReInstall··on Wetland emission and atmospheric sink changes explain methane growth in 2020
Growing massive amounts of seaweed near the ocean top and then sink it into deep waters?
winReInstall··on Wetland emission and atmospheric sink changes explain methane growth in 2020
Rather prefer space based foil-solar sail ice cap shielding and artifically growing glaciers near south and northpole..
winReInstall··on Riffusion – Stable Diffusion fine-tuned to generate music
Cant wait to see this in karaoke, you just sing lyrics and it jams along with music.
winReInstall··on Epic is turning off online services and servers for some older games
Worser still, some actively patch_destroy their own older games that have a more active community (due to superior game balance, less monetization etc.) to drive growth towards the new game.
winReInstall··on Female spies of MI6
Well, a women is treated equally only in the west, so per definition they can only spy as not honeytrap in the western society block. Everywhere else, its gonna be traditional.
winReInstall··on Chinese company that stole IP from ASML raises $140M
In a society were ip theft is the norm and success surface is everything, ask yourself what is actually real?

So, if there is research, how many chinese papers get attacked by chinese researchers, and thus retracted? If nobody calls it out, can there even be a replication crisis.

Now if all there is, is faked surface. What worth are all those agreements, all thos archievements and hailed green revolutions? What if all there is, is a great PR-campaign poster - and behind that.. nothing.

Welcome to the desert behind stalins blooming landscape posters.

winReInstall··on Fusion energy breakthrough by Livermore Lab
France currently has a problem at scale maintaining them?
winReInstall··on Fusion energy breakthrough by Livermore Lab
There has been a major back-logging in nuclear equipments investments, so big in fact, that some countries who should by right be netto exporters of energy (france) became importers. Its a valid technology in a theoretical world, that does all the upkeep measures, does actual credible threat analysis.

I have yet to see such a world.

winReInstall··on Fusion energy breakthrough by Livermore Lab
I think fissions failure is a inability to plan for complete failure scenarios, were society folds in on itself, suppliers are no longer available or power plants are actually fought over. So the inability is not to get the tech going, but to plan for how it can it be usefull in a unravelling world.

Already economic downturns corelate with fission problems, as plants are not properly maintained. We have one blowing up every thirty years atm. Our reach exceeds our grasp, and there is no shame in admitting to that.

winReInstall··on Volatile pay for gig workers linked to health problems
Yes, the correct response would be a behavioural adjusting of "not giving a damn" but our economic system discourages this, encouraging instead a play pretend of "unstressed" or meditate it away, aka learn to control your stress response system.

Or we could mass give out calming substances like weed or alcohol, but now we get to were we actually categorize permanent stress correctly. Its a mass applied substance problem, used to extract value from people.

winReInstall··on Volatile pay for gig workers linked to health problems
There is stress that ends another stressor.

If you are permant stressing about your job, your life your mortage and you boulder for the first time, you might eperience mortal fear, from falling. Which makes the other stressors less substantial, thus "deactivating" or back-queuing them. After the fear for your life, the stress bodily reflex does not return usually in full force.

You relax. One good "short" stress ended alot of bad stress. There is no good stressor that is permanent.

PS: Thanks to the prof at college teaching us about this. Stress is pure poison, inlcuding flooding your body with cortisols and supressing disease symptoms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortisol#Immune_response

Resulting in the ilusion, that stress keeps you healthy. Meanwhile disease eats you alive and re-appears once you are a wreck.

If you regularly experience stress episodes for months and years, you might as well be a living corpse.

winReInstall··on Russia’s apparent resilience is being kept up by policy tricks and cash
You buy the licenses for legal insurrance, then you of course use cracked software. The DRM in most products is downright dysfunctional, they want you to use warez to get out of any liability clause. So the incentives are there to make the most horrific software that money can buy.
winReInstall··on Iranian Officials Asking Venezuela for Asylum in Case of Regime Change
If the upper echelons are fleeing, then the whole stampede sets in, all the lower levels who cant flee, swinging around searching for a new "leader" in the chaos.
winReInstall··on Keystone pipeline shut after 14,000-barrel oil spill in Kansas
Thanks. Are you by any chance a in a relation ship with a culture in special circumstances?

PS: Its not even something you have to be "active" or there to do. Park a explosive drone with a solar panel and starlink reception somewhere within reach, have software monitor the oil price dipping and the drone starts and attacks the pipeline if the mersenne twister gives in. One guy could do it and destroy a whole pipeline system.

winReInstall··on Asbestos Cigarette Filters (2018)
The Fastfood plastic coated Drinkcontainer, thrown into a potatoe field, literally comes back next year in everyones fries. Might aswell eat it directly..
winReInstall··on Keystone pipeline shut after 14,000-barrel oil spill in Kansas
Oil pipelines are the weak spots of the carbon fossil fuel system. Anyone can create a drone that hits these widely visible targets. And due to there size they can not be protected. I expect them to be the targets of militant global warming protestors drones soon.

Which is why this sytem will die with a whimper from being financially no longer viable in the short run in a deglobalizing world.

winReInstall··on Recent Apple updates leading to WiFi issues?
Anyone remember the surface having problems with Bluetooth and Wifi running, when the power docking was attached.
winReInstall··on The importance of distributing true copies of government records
Related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FeqF1-Z1g0 guy discovered that xerox workstations (like the ones to scan in government archives) corrupted numbers. Thus falsifying documents on a massive scale. Obamas "birth certificate" went through this document shredder.

So distributing, non digital copies. Thats were the lasting value is.

Man: Tons of racists up today. Yes the posted document was altered, no, it was a bug. In dubio pro error..
