I try to contribute to things getting better, with humor, sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.Let's discuss to make things better sustainably.Always happy to question our beliefs.

  • Yes, but less rude, like "my lil' buddy".

  • FCC approves giant space mirror as astronomers warn of risks to the night sky

  • Earth's circumference is 40 000 km, if you align 50k patches of 5 km width, it covers more than 6 times this circumference. Current human's light pollution is already a biodiversity issue. This would be massively worsening the situation for just one system.

  • Do we need a paper to estimate that ecosystems that evolved with a night time with a moon (mostly partial, sometimes absent), are going to be disturbed by having 50k of them? Also it's the new product's responsibility to demonstrate its safety.

  • Again you're implying something I didn't mean, but the point is that having 50k times the equivalent of the moon light intensity is expected to have a bad impact on the environment.

  • I was not thinking about combining the beans, but about the surface that 50k of them would cover and the amount of additional light that would represent. I do hope it's just some vaporware.

  • That would be multiplied by 50k according to their plan, wouldn't it? That's a lot of moons.

  • What a beauty!

  • Does that mean two different parts of your body could have two different DNA? I think there's some crime story about this.

  • What's one giant LIE that's frequently taught in schools as a lesson?

  • Thomas Münzer

    Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about how m. It's quite intriguing that his revolutionary ideas came from his theology according to his wiki page.

  • It did definitely did, the Terror and then Napoleon empires were dictatorships. It took a century for a a democratic republic to stabilize with improvements for the common people happening progressively (under early republics but also under the empires).

  • Yes, Marquis de Lafayette was a famous example of a noble going against the privilege system and in favor of democracy.

    I think Robespierre is one of the pioneer of both left ideology, and left extremism leading to autoritarism and its crimes as we later saw in communist Russia and China.

  • It was "self-made" rich people (bourgeoisie) vs "birthright" rich people (nobility). We still got some cool side-effects though. Some of those bourgeois legitimately kick started what we call left and progressive politics today (Maximilien Robespierre, Jean-Paul Marat).

  • Great job 👏 [Twonks]

  • Same, but you forgot, the massive stealing of intellectual property that no government fights against because they are scared to be left behind by big tech, the impact on learning (especially students), and the impact on little hands that had to moderate the NSFL content.

  • Switzerland bolted 5,000 solar panels onto a dam wall 8,000 feet up in the freezing Alps. The plant now makes three times more winter power than any farm down in the valleys

    Jump

  • What's your source? Solar panels certainly are much easier and cheaper to setup, but what about over 40 years (average age of reacrors in France)?
