Ressources aren't our problem.

We have enough fossil fuels to change our climate, destroy the soil with too much fertilizer and build fishing trawlers until the oceans are empty.


The oceans are huge


So are deserts ... neither of which are especially relevant to whether or not the parts that produce most of the fish are being over taxed beyond replenishment rates or not.

This casual "the world has infinite resources to sustain unlimited human growth" is a bit 19th century and hasn't dated well.


Lol Malthus was literally 19th century.


> Malthus ...

Name a century without contrary characters and governments.

'LoL' and 'But Wat About' aren't considered responses.

Ocean resources are being depleted - it's simple enough to look up over fishing and a variety of reports on this from about the planet, not just direct overharvesting of fish, also reef destruction and other side effects from net dragging and industry that drive numbers down.


More importantly, ~50% of fish we eat are harvested through aquaculture rather than wild caught.


They helped to divide society / politics and are a cesspool for conspiracy theories but hey they open sourced some stuff.


Maybe not in the US, or in your bubble, but a lot of people still use FB to connect with friends and family, or their groups of interest. Many more use it for the marketplace, to sell and buy things. For them FB is an indispensable venue.

As for helping divide society/ politics, have you paid attention to HN front page the last few days? Wave and wave of OpenAI posts, with huge amount of ignorant, uninformed, speculative, conspiracy driven, repetitive, divisive comments that got endlessly upvoted and promoted. That reflects who the HN audience is and what we are interested in. You may say that HN also helps divide society/politics. Yet you, and I, are still here.


Indoor pools like that are not uncommon in germany.

This one is in the center of munich.

Normally you need to have an affairs to get sacked like this.


I had a Nexus one with wireless charging 10 years ago.


The lack of quality control is exactly what is killing people in the opioid epidemic.


At least in Germany you get a Smartphone for way less than 100€ and a call + SMS + 4GB data flat for 5€. If that is luxury what is going to the cinema for 20€ (movie and popcorn) for 2 hours?


I never bought a smartphone for myself, but I've seen 100 EUR smarthpones, and what you get is just a toy (unless you want to do your banking or login to e-mail on a Linux device with severely outdated kernel and no OS updates, which can't go for a few minutes without phoning home, wherever that is)

More expensive ones are not significantly better, either, unless you pick a brand known for keeping up with security updates.


5 EUR per month for service? That is crazy cheap in a highly developed country. Which provider?


Although I do not live there, I have a SIM card from Italy (Fastweb) which for 6€ lets me have 50GB Internet (of which 6GB could be roaming in the rest of Europe), 100 sms and unlimited calls.


In the UK I get a sim-only deal with unlimited calls and 4GB of data for £6 with Smarty: https://smarty.co.uk/plans/4gb-data

Recently moved and didn't have internet service setup yet. I got an unlimited data bundle from them for £17 for 30 days. Felt like a pretty good deal, and it didn't get throttled at all. Latency was a slight issue with zoom calls though.


You don't get that consistently. You can go to check24.de and get their sim.de offer for 5gb data and sms/telephone flat, but that's a limited time deal. So technically yes, but in general you are more in the 8-10€ ballpark for this kind of offering.


winsim.de gets you this all the time. They just call it temporary like these permanent going out of business sales.

I get 15gb for 10€ from them.


I am in France paying 5€ per month to red-by-sfr for 20Go and illimited call/SMS/MMS


Sure, that would have worked.

People were fighting each other over toilet paper.


Another therapy mentioned often in the comments here CAR-T is at the moment around 300k from the pharmaceutical companies.

A study in germany predicts a cost of around 30k if universities or other bigger health care providers create the CAR-T cells in their own labs.


i suppose that should have been a comment in the who is hiring thread?


Moved to the correct thread now. Thanks for watching out for a fellow user!
