  • White women in the US South felt uncomfortable being around black women. This led to racially segregated bathrooms. Same story. Different century.

  • And yet, people like you demand we vote blue no matter who, and insist that the time for inter-party feuding is during the primary. And then when there is a primary, you tell people to shut the fuck up and not criticize leadership.

  • I mean, you can masturbate about all laws, contracts, and agreements being a "threat of force," but I don't give such libertarian dogma any credence.

  • They're stupid simple devices though. There's not even any circuitry in a solar panel. There's nothing to slip a backdoor inside. There's caution, and then there's just xenophobic paranoia.

  • There's a limit to the gains from pooling insurance risk. Sure, you gain a lot by going from 1000 people in a pool fo 10000. But 10 million to 20 million? You reach a point where the law of large numbers takes over and adding more people doesn't produce further gains.

  • People like to react that way to the idea, but it need not need be the purview of tinpot dictators. It's good for a country to have a small amount of inflation. If your country is successful enough to maintain its currency for centuries without collapse or revolution, your currency will inevitably be devalued to the point of comedy. It should be just a reasonable thing for countries with healthy economies to do once every century or two. Sure if you do it every other year, it means you have a problem. But if it's done only every few generations, it's not something we should be afraid to do.

  • Craziest implementation? Burn the hydrogen in your home. But not in a furnace. Burn it in a mechanical combustion-powered heat pump!😁

  • What would you do if our civilization regressed to the Neolithic age due to resource depletion due to global collapse?

    Jump

  • In the novel Star's Reach, in a post-collapse society, one of the main characters is a 'miner.' Their mining guild basically tears apart old concrete buildings, by hand, with sledge hammers to extract the old rebar from them.

  • The world can support less than 1% of its current population if everyone reverted to a neolithic lifestyle. And countless species would be hunted to extinction during the collapse.

    So in short, the answer to what I would do? Like nearly everyone else, just die. The folks from Sentinel Island will inherit the Earth.

  • Why would the cost of insuring human-driven cars increase? It's not like the risk of a human drivers will suddenly go up with driverless cars on the road. In fact, driverless cars, if they worked, would lower the claims rate of human-driven cars.

    And the insurance companies won't pressure owners to switch to driverless vehicles. True self-driving vehicles won't require insurance at all. If the manufacturer is completely responsible for any risk, then it's the manufacturer that has all the liability. Your self-driving car would just have a lifetime worth of insurance coverage built into the purchase price. A world of only self driving cars is a world where car insurance companies don't exist.

  • Who cares if most of the panels are made in China? Panels last for decades. If China decides to embargo the EU and cut off the supply of panels, it would be a decade before that embargo really started to hurt. Enough time for Europe to spin up and entire PV supply chain from scratch.

    You can't apply the logic of petrostates to electrostates.

  • I like the idea of redenominating the currency instead. We issue a v2.0 of the dollar. No existing dollars are rendered invalid. You just start issuing new coins with 100x value. The new penny is worth one old dollar.

    Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes.
