I believe Allo is inherited from french, that was used already before edison/phone as interjection.


You constantly have to correct an AI when using it because it either didn't get the question right or you guide him towards a more narrowed answer. There is only more to learn.


I'm listening to audiobooks since years while driving and take it as a personal time before reaching my family. Very enjoyable.

I'm a reliable developer with more than 10 years of experience working with web apps. Used to work with international teams. 2 years remotely. I like to be involved from product planning to support to understand what users want and get as much feedback as possible. Don't hesitate to drop me an email :)


What was meant is that you can access most of Youtube's content without having to log in, whereas of Facebook which requires you to be authenticated most of the time to access content.


In this particular case, it did not ask you to log in though, so there's little difference.


"horrible" is going a bit too far? It is 20% higher than average. http://www.lepoint.fr/sante/en-france-les-agriculteurs-se-su...


Considering we are talking about people killing themselves, I don’t think so.


Yes any suicide rate would be horrible.

A suicide rate 20% higher than another suicide rate is 20% more horrible, which is not horribly more horrible unless we've diluted the meaning of horrible which would mean the we don't think the suicide rate is too bad.


Suicide is normally a preventable death, and suicide is a leading cause of death. So if a population has 20% higher than average rate of death by suicide that's a pretty big deal.


environmental impact should be taken into consideration, it's most probably a good move for future generation


Of course, but that it takes more people is a net negative. I didn't say there aren't any positives to wind power. I think it is a balanced part of an alternative energy solution. That is takes so many people resources is a worry though.


The human labor required to produce a MWh of electricity from utility-scale wind or solar plants is significantly less than the labor that went into producing it from older fossil plants. The growing employment numbers you see in solar/wind right now are mostly an artifact of rapid expansion. American coal plant construction employment is about zero right now and all you see is the operational labor; solar/wind are growing quickly and what you mostly see are the temporary construction jobs.

See e.g. my comment here (search for "Nucla"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13749769

A utility scale solar farm can be more than an order of magnitude more productive per employee than an old coal plant.

So can a utility scale wind farm. MidAmerican's Wind VIII project has 40 permanent jobs and generated 3,622,316 MWh in 2016 (10.33 real annualized megawatts per employee).

https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/browser/#/plant/58885/

https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/browser/#/plant/58886/

(The EIA data for Wind VIII is spread across these sub-projects.)

Utility-scale wind and solar are also thriftier with labor than nuclear plants.

Old coal plant: 0.87 real annualized MW/full time employee (0.57 megawatts per employee if you include the fuel mining jobs)

New AP1000 reactors at Vogtle, assuming 90% capacity factor: 2.5 real MW/FTE

Desert Sunlight solar farm: 9.8 real MW/FTE

Wind VIII wind complex: 10.3 real MW/FTE


Any infrastructure project will require more people while it is being built out, and the rate of job growth will scale with the rate of build out. That isn't a negative or a worry. If the market becomes saturated, the growth will stop and a lot of the jobs will no longer be needed.


It's not if you're a politician. "Fewer jobs! More efficiency!" is a surefire way to not get elected.

Your constituents have to eat.


The negative of employing more people is pretty abstract if the power costs about the same for end users.


Maybe the HTML part but not the CSS, there are browser specific attributes and use of 'em' for example.
