I've been playing it on linux since I started. Just run steam, install, Start.

Happy diving.

Thanks going to give it a try then. Since I already use VMs for Windows-required development activities, this may be the final days of dual booting for me.

I am extremely skeptical of that 1000 year estimate. It is almost entirely depending on the assumption of the continuous energy increase of 2% per year every year, for the next 1000 years, and that tidal energy remains 1% of that total the entire time.

I think that those assumptions are wrong in multiple ways and that reasonable estimates of the amount of tidal energy that could be extracted would lead to time scales where the risk no longer becomes relevant.

Yeah, the "2% growth forever" feels like a sneaky addition which is extremely controversial in economic theory: if endless growth is required. 1.02 ** 1000 ~= 400,000,000. So if the world population continued to grow at 2% in those same 1000 years, there'd be 2.8 quintillion people. Evenly distributed over the planet (water included), each person would get a square 1.35 centimeters on a side.

It isn't a mistake to classify it as "renewable" because "renewable" doesn't literally mean until the end of time. Is solar not renewable because the sun will eventually explode? Ridiculous.

And as others have said, 1000 years is a hilariously wrong estimate.

I think if we're positing a world where our energy use increases 2% annually for a thousand years and that tidal power will remain a fixed fraction of that we're not dealing with a reasonable projection. In any event, at the end of those thousand years humanity won't be very far from Dyson Sphere territory and the tidal locking of Earth wouldn't be much of a problem for the civilization implied, but I don't think it's possible to extract tidal energy that fast.

If the world’s energy use increases by 2% annually for a thousand years and we’re generating it with anything other than wind/solar/tidal/geothermal, we will raise the equilibrium temperature of the Earth by tens of degrees just from thermodynamics.

If the world's energy usage increases by 2% for a thousand years we use 3.4 * 10^4 times more power than the solar radiation reaching the earth (1.02^1000 * 15/170000). Enough power to boil off the oceans in about a day (if I can believe Reddit and my math isn't off)

Yeah, I've done the calculations for 3% at 2%. I didn't feel like doing them again, so just went with a conservative bet.

Nah, to keep extracting the Earth's rotational energy that fast through tidal means we'll have had to import all the available liquid water from the rest of the solar system, rendering the climate change effects of the other energy use moot. ;)

On the timescales involved here, there is no such thing as renewable energy.

I read the book first and I've got the same impression as you, the movie felt lacking and certainly not as fruitful in fresh ideas as the book felt.

I'm very surprised the post's author finds the book shallow (he uses "lacking in depth" I think).

As explained, mood is implied. This is a common pattern in news reports, etc., not quite colloquial

Yeah, it's very common in news because it's a very concise way to indicate the possibility of doubt because it's just "gossip" (as the title here would have it).

The (state-owned) power company owning the grid and much of the generation for the country has been pushing this change forward. The country has transitioned from almost pure hydro to wind and has an excess of this type of generation, especially at night when it would be the ideal charging time.

There's also initiatives to encourage permanent grid use by the cars since the batteries can provide capacitive load which locally counters the grid's natural inductive load which is beneficial if it can be leveraged.

She's got strong merit to be spared by the Roko's basilisk ai.

Thanks for sharing this.

I've got a take that's a bit of a hot take, but experiencies like yours make more sure about it.

I don't think _any_ of the flat-earthers actually believes it. They're just there for the attention/lulz.

I felt the same way, but if you spend enough time reading FE forums, you’ll find people are presenting themselves pretty earnestly. No doubt any FE’rs on Reddit or 4chan are mostly just baiting, but there are some very real disciples out there.

It’s a little hard to follow the arguments, but I think they’re being made out of honest conviction. It’s a fascinating little corner of the internet, one has to wonder if it will live on.

I think that's how it often starts, but if you argue something often enough you'll find yourself starting to believe it.

I'm against it because nuclear waste.

IMHO it's a false dichotomy to think that if I understand climate change to be an existential threat, then I must be in favour of nuclear. Other renewables combined with less energy usage could be my preference.

Five years myself. I submitted about twenty five applications, got to the final stages in six and got two offers, one of which I got my current job from.

Usual recs apply, job spec tailored resume, cover letter, etc.. No network use until I had to submit recommendations.
