Academia seems to have largely settled on English. Most graduate programs I have heard of are taught in English even if it’s not an official language of the host country.
CERN was designed to stop the brain drain to the US after WWII. Hopefully Europe (the world) realizes the opportunity in front of them.
Hell, I would copy the question sometimes :P
This bot sure got a lot of hate, actually MBFC seemed to get most of the hate.
Even if it’s not the perfect solution it’s a great step towards solving a problem that I think most people can agree on.
Thank you Rooki for you work.
Wow good work, my global ranking is #2449.
Ha, yeah it’s good that you slowly clear out your local area because my SO did not appreciate me trying to answer questions while we walked.
You are in luck my friend: https://streetcomplete.app/
They have made it super easy and fun. I have been playing it for nearly a year and have made a pretty big dent in my local dense metro area.

Signal had SMS support and dropped it. I imagine any argument for Whatsapp interoperability would face a similar fate.
Woah I never recognized your username in the wild before. Thanks for giving us Lemmy. Huge fan.
My friend was working on a start-up for marine carbon capture. I have a lot of friends moving to green energy and related fields. It’s promising to see.
And we will be earlier adopters than our children. Yeah that’s very cool of your mom… and Jimmy Carter :)
Very much agree that moving away from fossil fuels is most important. Given how long these large scale technologies take to develop, I’m glad that we are working on this tech now, even though these exact plants are not producing a net benefit.
And it’s thanks to earlier adopters, like your mom, that helped fund the technology that we have such great green energy tech today.
This article shows it pretty well : https://decarbonization.visualcapitalist.com/the-cheapest-sources-of-electricity-in-the-us/
The top graph shows that wind and solar are some of the cheapest electricity options available, even compared to fossil fuels.
On the bottom graphs shows that if wind and solar technology had stayed at 2009 levels (more than a decade ago to your point), they would be among the most expensive.
So thank your mom for me.
Very much agree.
The one in texas funded by the oil company isn’t built yet.
Yeah its critical to cut emissions. At the same time I’m excited to see this field growing. It’s another tool.
A decade ago people argued that solar and wind didn’t work.
I agree with the video. Carbon capture is no replacement for reducing emissions.
Also, I am excited that people are working on direct capture too because many of the same arguments that the video makes, were valid arguments against solar and wind a decade ago, but not any more thanks to those early pilot projects.
The article states that the plant needs to be 10x more efficient to be considered a viable tool.
If your role allows remote work this may be an option: https://consnewyork.esteri.it/en/servizi-consolari-e-visti/servizi-per-il-cittadino-straniero/visti/visas-to-enter-italy/digital-nomad-remote-worker-visa/
Once living in a place it’s a lot easier to find work, but that may be less true for academics who commonly move for work anyways.
