The efficiency of an electric engine (>90%) far beats the efficiency of an ICE (~30%), so much so that even with electricity 100% from coal, over their lifetime (save an accidental premature death) EVs are more CO2 efficient than ICE vehicles. Also, they emmit less than half the micro particles as >90% of the braking is done with regeneration, not using the brakes.

That said, if you drive a 2.5 ton SUV, even electric, you pollute like hell. On a Fiat 500, or equivalent, things start to take a better turn.

The worst thing is that even for alarm clock, it may not work. Let's say you have a alarm setup for 8AM every monday, inactive. If on tuesday you ask Siri "Hey, wake me up tomrrow morning at 8" it will activate your already existing alarm, oblivious to the fact that this alarm only rings on mondays.

If you trust Siri, you won't even wake up.

Isn't the congress authorization only valid after it is given? It should not solve anything in this case.

Fixed, thanks

In rust, (much like in Java or C# to a lesser extent for that matter), the default is safe. If you want unsafe, you can. Therefore, most of what you will find in StackOverflow for example is safe. Also, static analysis tool that specifically look for "unsafe" is probable already going a long way to secure your codebase.

In C or C++, the default is that a buffer overflow is often akin to a security issue. Most of what you can find online needs to be carefully understood in order to avoid an insecure mess. Static analysis needs to be carefully crafted and maintained to meet lesser safetiness than Rust, C# or Java.

There are no absolutes though. You can have security issues with Java/Rust/C#. But most of the security issues that comes naturally with C and C++ are simply not there unless you specifically enable them. That makes a lot of difference.

Greenland and the north pole are not defrosted yet, and already all major oil producers are already prying to dig as much petrol as they can, they literally cannot wait.

I don't see that happening in 2060 or any time for that matter. We will burn all the gas, petrol and coal that is underground. All of it. I see no way to convince *everyone* that these riches should not be extracted and burned.

We're not gonna take any real action, especially when it will impact us badly, since this is the moment we will need even more energy to do damage control.

I see no way to convince people to stop burning all the coal, gas and petrol they can get their hands on. It's akin to tell them "hey, here is all this money, but you will let it lay there and try to survive another way".

Will not happen.

There is proof that Putin is behind it? It seems more credible to me that Trump (Or someone in his team) was the one releasing it.

He said America has a bias. He said nothing about the rest of the world. Judging by your reply, you actually agree with him.

Bad reading perhaps?

Pre existing nuclear waste is buried and should stay buried. I see no compelling reason to dig it up as it poses no risk. It will accomplish nothing and would pose a hazard in case it is not handled properly or involved in some accident.

So the problem is not about adding a DEI target but rather removing the safety and quality targets.

The bank made an error in your favor is Monopoly's game. In the real world, when the bank made an error in your favor, at some point, you owe the money back.

At this point, it's not a technical issue, it's an adoption issue. Not so sure about your statement there.

C++ allows you to write memory safe code.

Rust mandates it.

You are wrong.
