Je me demande - comment est-ce que gazole dépasse les chutes Livingstone, pour arriver à Bangui au fleuve Congo - ou est-ce que ça va en camion après Douala ? Dans ce cas - avec telles contraintes géographiques, bonne raison pour ce pays électrifier rapidement leur transport (comme j’ai entendu on fait aussi à l’Ethiopie, avec l’aide de Chine). (+ petite remarque - les comparaisons sont un peu confondus -on a tonnes puis litres puis tonnes … )
Also remember Bush did the same for Kyoto protocol. Loop repeats again.
I’ve wondered through favelas in Rio. Nice people, tasty snacks, fine views (they are on hillsides), some great music. But that was over a decade ago, I heard situation got worse again during Temer/Bolso time, hope it’s improving now.
This is hardly surprise news, it’s just what the demographics projected. And if trends continue, China’s population will halve by 2100.
The big one to watch now is India, and then central Africa, those are harder to project.
You can experiment with my model - click the ‘model pop’ plot on the left side.
A wee quote from the author of the original little red book …:
“the two slogans – let a hundred flowers blossom and let a hundred schools of thought contend – have no class character; the proletariat can turn them to account, and so can the bourgeoisie or others. Different classes, strata and social groups each have their own views on what are fragrant flowers and what are poisonous weeds”.
Seemed a good idea at the time (1957?), remember how that trick evolved thereafter …?
I’m aware of the racism issue, I even observed it myself in China, even many years ago.
But i’ve also seen similar problems in other corners of the world. Such cultural concepts can change slowly, as they did over here.
Anyway, I doubt this would dissuade people trying to connect what will become the world’s main supply of surplus young labour, with the world’s greatest demand for care-services, combined with spare apartments, money, and a milder climate. Not saying it’s good or bad, just trying to anticipate future changes.
That seems like a big change in one year. It may to some extent reflect delay, as on average chinese used to pair-up at a younger age than typical in europe, also maybe some feel old traditions aren’t necessary to keep a stable family with children. But the article says, the core factors are economic. Even so, as they have built so many surplus apartments, the [real] prices must drop, I wonder how many years before they are trying to sell the chinese dream to migrants from Africa or elsewhere.
Hmm. I’m still using a 2014 iMac, as its 27" 5k screen still very good for coding (with added memory). Sometimes develops a bunch of thin vertical lines, which come and go maybe dependent on temperature, but hasn’t changed for for ten years and i can live with those. Just wish they’d continue providing security updates for it.
Although not an expert on that specific country, I can be sure that ’ almost all ’ is very misleading, even if it gets a lot upvotes because people find it convenient to blame some big bad other. Even if you have specific data for electricity, don’t forget a lot of CO2 is emitted by cars, and also by fuel to heat homes (including some peat in special case of ireland - and in that country a large fraction of GHG emissions is also methane from agriculture).
Wonder whether the popularity of the president will follow a similar pattern as in France, trying similar idea … ?
Note that Knesset has 120 seats (not obvious from the article). (also, of course, a large fraction of people between the river and the sea don’t get to vote for any of its seats)
From the tasks described, it seems to me they were not measuring ‘Computer Skills’ as reasoning, patience, tenacity - people could have similar issues with similar tasks involving a pile of papers.
Even if we had low-emissions, low-noise, low-accident cars, there’d still be the concrete jungle surface needed to drive them - and loads of emissions to make the steel and cement of highways.
Although cars carrying four or more people directly to a medium-distance destination can be relatively efficient per pers-km, people buy oversized cars imagining some dream holiday, then use them for daily life on one-person trips that (electric-) bicycles and/or trains could do - car-sharing could help avoid that and solve the EV-range issue (although personally, my dream holidays would be in places with no cars at all).
That’s great progress, thanks for all the work!
Glad to see enhanced federation with rest of fediverse - a small detail : the link for ‘Automatically includes a hashtag with new posts’ should point to pull #4533 (not #4398 ) - should help discoverability from mastodon, especially if community tags become customisable.
Hmm, publishing that will really help those Crimean beach hotels get customers for this summer…
Good idea, hope it catches on, When I began coding, we had to design efficient loops and be careful with memory, but recently brute force applied “in the cloud” seems to dominate, especially with AI. Perhaps this approach can help give a little credit to those who still try to develop efficient software.

We have one, it works reliably for many years, even in winter when there is sun - problem is sunny days are too rare here from Nov to Jan. If you get one, get a big tank, and optimise setup for winter (low sun angle), more than enough hot water in summer.
The problem is that whatever careful process EU implements to restrict spread of fake news etc., authoritarian states will copy its facade and terminology, to justify their own censorship of real news ( in Russia people go to prison for calling a war a war).
Interesting. Five million years is not so long in geological time, so how is that such “exposed section of lithified sediment deformed by the megaflood” (note photo) are now above sea-level, did Sicily rise so much since then?
