Recent Notes

There has been a lot of debate recently about the need for #airconditioning in #europe. I believe we should be migrating all heating and cooling to bidirectional heat pumps, we can recoup the cost of cooling with the reduced cost of heating.

Some have also criticised the fact that Aircon just moves the heat outside. That is fair, but a new technology will allow us to radiate it directly to space instead!

What #Ukraine is doing in #Crimea now is beyond incredible. They have systemically hit refineries and fuel transport infrastructure.

They have hit all the bridges entering Crimea from Southern Ukraine. They have hit all the ferries transporting goods in and out of Crimea.

And today they hit the air defences that protect the Kerch Bridge.

They are making Crimea intenable for the Russians, and isolating Russian Units in Occupied Ukraine.

Seeing the comments under this post is wildly discouraging. I left twitter precisely because of this type of pile-on holier-than-thou behavior.

The commission is present across a multitude of social networks including the Fediverse (where their presence is growing), #Wsocial (ATproto), and other proprietary non-federated social media sites.

Do the commenters here really believe that their comments are advancing the interests of the #Fediverse or Open Source ?

@nprofile1q... I just recently posted a video explaining the problem with GDP PPP per capita.

I'd also highlight that some things might not be included in GDP PPP.

Take a medical procedure. In the US it costs $30k, and adds 30k to GDP.

In Europe it costs $2.5k.

Should we be counting this ?

I take it back. I just had an argument in the airport with a British man who insisted EU border controls exist to "punish" the UK.

When I reminded him that you have to be in the European Union to enjoy the benefits of it, he shouted "do you think I'm stupid".

I declined to answer for obvious reasons.

The "food is better at home" one - fine as long as locals don't hear it. The third one is quite condescendi...
