  • I've heard good stuff about getting cash out, BUT: a) I have heard good stuff about getting out relatively small amounts of money. Getting large amounts of cash out might be more problematic, idk. Though now it works just as a bank, so it should be as problematic as any bank transfer is... b) For crypto, they explicitly say that there is a limit on how much you can transfer in a day/month. If you operate large amounts of money, this might be a pain (not my case).

  • You can use Revolut for crypto, if you do not care about anonymity. It is not a crypto wallet sensu stricto, but you can move coins between wallets and Revolut.

    Revolut is British.

  • Overall. I wonder, if somebody gives me a Lambo, can I sell it, buy a bus, and drive friends in it?

  • I wonder which one is more expensive, a new Lamborghini or a new bus.

  • You mean just take the bus?

  • Yes, but... Let's say papers A, B, and C are introducing methods. Often, each paper will choose to show the benchmarks in which their tool was the best. In reality, each tool might be better for a different task. If you understand the tools, and have gotten used to this kind of papers, you will probably get what each tool is good for. But the papers themselves are misleading, and people often just blindly use the "cutting edge" for everything.

  • Which song was it in 2009?

  • This sounds like basically every description of modern digital/statistical tool

  • Only recently, I watched The Wind Rises and I loved it. I do not know what it is. It still has the sensitivity and the aesthetics of Ghibli under Miyazaki, which I genuinely love, but at the same time shows a confusing and unobvious real-life story, and very real dilemmas.

  • Thanks, that is an amazing resource! You can see yearly emissions, which are statistics. And when you click on a country/region, you get the breakdown by energy source for the electricity grid.

    Note: Living in Sweden, I am still Polish, and looking at this map is embarrassing to say the least...

  • I care about two things with the sanctions.

    1. Do not buy Russian gas and oil.
    2. Do not sell weapons and weaponizable items to Russia. Prevent loopholes where Russia can get the weapons through third countries. And ofc support Ukraine, militarily and generally.

    And yes, do not expect change from within coming just from the suffering of the people in the East. Support the opposition and independent media channels. As a Polish, I understand how important that was during the Cold War. But do not have your hopes too high for a quick fix.

  • I understand, that the data here is per capita, but I thought even per capita in Europe, and especially in Sweden, we install little compared to the rest of the world.

  • The three leading countries share borders with Russia or Belarus. Is this recognition of the security and resilience advantages of deploying millions of solar panels and thousands of wind turbines compared with a few large fossil and nuclear power stations?

  • Wow, this is very different from the view media gave me.

    I live in Sweden. The perspective from the media was, for me, that Sweden has stagnated in renewable energy, while the UK, Spain, and some other countries lead the way in Europe. And that while Europe was first in the renewable game, it is now in the developing countries that most action happens.

    The data from this report shows that basically all of my claims from the previous paragraph are wrong.

    No opinion here about the state of development, just amazement how misleading the media narrative have been for me.

    Thanks for sharing!

  • As Europe remilitarizes, I want drones that can drop bombs on Russian tanks as well as drop water/sand/flame-retardant bombs on burning forests.

  • How about:

    We support Ukraine

    We drop Russia (we don't need that gas and oil anyway, it's 2025, we have the technology to ditch fossil fuels, common!) as long as Putin and other fascists like him are in power.

    We negotiate and trade with China. We do not support it, but we do not actively fight it either. We try to push it further from Russia if possible.

    Dropping China altogether does not seem plausible in the near future. We need to learn how to deal with China. We have a lot of leverage, especially with Trump in power and the trade war escalating further after stagnation under Biden.

  • No, I meant specific means. But if you have something good for templates, I can take it as well (but that seems to work OK on search engines).

  • Okay, a side note here:

    apart from Brazil’s President Lula da Silva, Xi was the only major world leader to attend the parade.

    Can smb explain Lula's stance on Putinist Russia?

  • I guess it would take a lot of time to accommodate Mars for trees. More than for algae ;)
