At least we have divorce laws now. When Bezos' wife got half his money, it was a very good thing for the world. She has done far more good with it than he ever will. Maybe Jensen's wife will too.

I tried by a moment after it opened two thirds of the screen was covered by a giant ad telling me I needed to subscribe to read it.

All the early ones seem to be kinda janky, but the idea was compelling and there wasn't really anything else like it - an open world criminal simulator.

Everyone was struggling to make the transition to 3D back then, so we shouldn't be too harsh on the first 3D GTA game. I tried V out and found it was just a bit awkward to play. Might have been my controller or something. I mostly stick to 2D and some Dreamcast era 3D stuff now.

Wow, good thing shoddy construction in the US makes Chinese buildings safer! Oh wait no it doesnt.

Well, if I were interested my questions would have been:
1) Can you play it off-line? and
2) Does it run on Linux?

It's partially Apple's fault, but it's partially the kind of jungle most social media have become. I haven't used it since I was on dial-up, but it's not a problem unique to Apple. Look as what happened to newsgroups before they died.

Until someone steals their trade secrets and runs them out of business.

Hope they build their nukes better than their bridges, roads, and residential buildings.

Trump lying doesn't make anyone else honest in comparison. Besides, official numbers are usually bullshit anyway. Better to observe with satellite data or to estimate based on fuel consumption.

What will you be saying if China shrinks its population to 800 million or less and continues emitting as much (or more) CO2? 1.4 billion is already being generous, and their population numbers are trending downward.

They're still there, posting about stuff they'll never own.

During this time China has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty. Having visited, I can see that many of them enjoy a good standard of living. In fact some of the apartments and homes I was in are much, much nicer than the ones in the UK. They looked like something out of a catalogue. I could hardly believe that people were living there, with kids and pets no less.

While it's far from universal, it's still hundreds of millions of people. When it comes to quality of life, things like air pollution matter. EVs reduce that considerably. By adopting renewables we can have a better standard of living. It's not a loss, it's a huge gain.

You can slice it different ways. China is at over 4PW/year renewable generation, the US is around 1.1PW/year.

I think per capita emissions are the fairest way, but we should also look at how fast each country is installing renewables.

Also, gas is NOT carbon neutral. "Better than coal" is extremely weak praise.

Remember all the whining about how we would have to go back to being an agrarian society and suffer a massive decline in living standards to get to net zero?

China is proving that isn't true. In fact, it's proving that all the fearmongering about net zero costing us too much is nonsense, and it's actually a huge economic opportunity. They can't make solar panels, wind turbines, EVs, batteries and all the other stuff fast enough to satisfy the huge demand. The energy produced is the cheapest available, which further boosts their manufacturing.

We do need to do a lot more. China needs to do a lot more. But you can't also expect people to accept poverty to get it, so the only way it will work is if we ramp up the transition to a better lifestyle and lower costs as quickly as possible.
