  • I prefer scientific journalism. I need some proper document or some video. I don't trust Aftab Ahmed, Manoj Kumar and Krishna Das. As far as I know, India already has bought cheap oil when last oil prices went down in covid. India bought futures then. Also, Mukesh Ambani, an Indian investor has quite some stake in Aramco. Ofc, it can be but not over words of some people whose job is to print such stories. I prefer being uncertain.

  • Poor source.

  • They certainly can. However, solar panels are best used where sunlight is ample. Since a car goes through shady areas too, it's efficiency isn't much. It is way less compared to what power a car needs. Solar power plants have perpendicular sunlight for most amount of time and also reflectors (mirrors) are used to increase the amount of light that falls on those solar cells. Also, they'd be incredibly inefficient in polar regions. In equatorial regions, if they're cheap, installing on rooftop of a car can be thought about if their weight is lesser or comparable than the metal on top of car. If their weight is more than that of normal metal, more petrol will be used which would be worse.

  • That's a very difficult technical question. You should ask someone who conducts research wrt solar energy. The key metrics there should be energy density of material, it's toxicity, it's repairability, it's lifetime which would decide it's pricing, and the loss of energy per unit time.

  • This shows the reason behind moving to bsd instead of linux.

    One of the key problems of linux-libre is that it just grows in size. I strongly feel that a kernel should remove useless code and be minimal but with 30M loc, I find it strange to call it secure. We don't agree with RMS completely on each point.

    It is true that the progress of the project is very slow. I think that software with very high lines of code is no different from proprietary software since such free software can never be read, forget about understanding, and adopting it for our use. While gnu and fsf are much better than proprietary software, I don't like them as they don't produce minimal software. (man pages of gcc are 23k lines long! Lol. Have you had a single reference book that long?) There I follow suckless. Criticism is always welcome!

  • This shows progress in a bit more detail. We're not rewriting a majority of bsd kernel. What do you think is strange about free software? Free software prevents misuse of software by allowing user complete control. In my view, it is absolutely necessary!

  • Exactly, isn't this totally obvious!

  • I've installed more than 15 different OSes more than 100 times. The OS which I typically recommend, Trisquel KDE, is incredibly easy to install. It's somewhat difficult to use however. If you want something extremely simple even for use, go for Kubuntu.

  • 30% tax is equivalent to banning cryptos.

  • Briar is awesome. Loving the progress!

  • Hyperbola OS

  • I recommend Trisquel. Use plasma DE for sure, it provides amazing user experience. Tell her to not expect things exactly like those of Windows or Mac and learn till she becomes comfortable. Initially she'll struggle, later she won't even think of using Windows or Mac.

  • I'm a physicist. Quantum Electrodynamics explains the motions of electrons really well. Extreme precision has been found. As we move towards molecules in chemistry, things are difficult to predict. Then comes large molecules of carbon chemistry, organs, physiology, humans, psychology. Well things go unpredictable at levels of large carbon based molecules. Solutions to Schrodinger's equation exist for such systems. They're just unrealistically difficult to predict. We can just make estimates. These sciences of organs, physiology, humans, psychology, aren't exact sciences. We can just fill in few patterns and we'd find explanations. Science is awesome my friend! It more than explains many things!

  • Atheism is extremely necessary. The issue with atheism is that when people are less learnt, they feel inferior. Religion makes them feel superior by being proud of their problems called as virtues. So, as most people in social order are dumb, they choose religion and deny reality.

    I'm an atheist (7 on Dawkins scale). I'd love it if a solution to this problem is found. I typically recommend people "The Magic of Reality" by Richard Dawkins.

  • We get a keyboard here for around $5 and a case for $2 (retail prices). I can pay around $20 max for such a thing.
