Solar electricity requires a huge loss of land that could be used for growing vegetation instead. Also you can't store the power produced by solar.

Just want to recommend Apocalypse Never, a book I am finishing reading. The author explains the faulty logic behind decommissioning Nuclear as a source of power very eloquently. Big mistake.

How much is that in Social Carbon? Pun intended as why one would impose carbon taxes if the other countries so careless?

arthurz | 4 years ago | on: Twitter misses ad revenue and user growth estimates

It seems that every popular Social Media platform became an extension of the liberal governments. I trust a proper sentiment analysis would reveal this.

arthurz | 4 years ago | on: Is Bitcoin Down or Just Me?

Bitcoin, or any Crypto, Block Chain, are too complex, unfortunately, to understand, and therefore is a huge barrier to their adoption. Whoever comes to an easy way of doing the digital currency first will win big. One other turn off remains: is to solve the material part, how to turn crypto back into Fiat Money so it really seamlessly works and not entangled into revenue control traps, losses on exchange between networks, daily limits, and so many more.

DuckDuckGo should have its own browser. This way the no track is more sound.

This how is a micro Communism starts. So far within one strong monopoly. Two things need to happen right away: new electronic hands off data protection legislation and Apple's monopoly dismantled. Not to forget the right for repairs by ordinary users.

I am a happy user since early beta of MedleyText https://medleytext.net Please be aware that this note taking solution is potentially geared to cater to the software user community or alike mostly.

I am quite offended by how the news provider phys.org reacts to me using an ad blocker: "It appears that you are currently using Ad Blocking software. What are the consequences? Click here to learn more." -> Will never ever click

arthurz | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop - HEADLINE: Better support for peripherals - DESCRIPTION: Drivers suck If you buy a wrong printer brand or model you may end up returning it. Simply because it happened not to be supported by the manufacturer and/or Ubuntu Overall, the desktop needs more radical refreshes, bash replaced with OhMyZh, no more Unity and a batter package manager, too.

arthurz | 9 years ago | on: Let's start using DuckDuckGo more often

But DDG still goes to Google (as well as the other providers). And I see it returns less relevant results compared to Google itself. Where it might be shining is in avoiding the search per unit of time throttling done by Google, and less content tailored by user IP which I see an intrusion into ones privacy.
