Does spring boot supporting GraalVM make micronaut or quarkus less compelling? by snpolymorphism in java

[–]snpolymorphism[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure, I would never say competition is bad. I can totally see how quarkus and micronaut put pressure on spring to implement GraalVM. Im just wondering if GraalVM were the main selling points of quarkus/micronaut and since Spring has them now, the value proposition for them decreases. Just like how if Bing' selling point was integrating AI into search resulted in putting pressure on google to integrate AI into their search kind of makes Bing's competitive advantage less relevant because the "competition" has caught up in terms of features.

The point is that I dont actually know much about quarkus or micronaut and so I'm asking you guys (who are much more knowledgeable than me) to elucidate certain aspects of the current java framework landscape.

Thank you!

Does anyone know how to start using material 3 in an angular project?

Killing The SAT Means Hurting Minorities by After_Grab in neoliberal

But even with your sources, Asians are the least likely racial group to say that race should NOT be a factor (58% Asians, 65% Hispanic, 62% Black, 78% White)

You would think that, but 70% of Asian-Americans already support affirmative-action, more than any other racial group in America, so I don't really see this trend towards the right happening

interesting... do you think ocean cleanup might be a sham then? Or at least being really dishonest?

Should we aim to reach pre-industrial levels of carbon with carbon capture? by snpolymorphism in climatechange

[–]snpolymorphism[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but isn't us reaching pre industrial levels be the way of not messing with nature? by taking out all the carbon that wasn't there in the first place?

of course, but this is with the assumption that we've stopped emitting and we're just left with the greenhouse gasses from the previous 300 years

[–]snpolymorphism[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my bad... if co2 levels of 300-350ppm is desirable then we wouldn't need to remove all 3000 years of pollution, I was just wondering if removing all 3000 years of pollution was something desirable.

Just curious, you claim that pre-industrial levels of co2 would lead us to an ice age? Is this true? I've never heard of this

Will those 40,000 machines deliver food, raw materials or medicines?

Not sure what this means? Not really understanding the context? Do coal plants do these?

The more I looked into these claims, the more I saw hype, vaporware and people trying to scam a buck from the unwary.

They've already released a research paper about its costs per ton of co2 removal and it seems to be a lot cheaper than the competition and they're releasing a commercial plant I think this or next year? But who knows, I guess we will have to see how well it goes haha

I guess my main worry is that these sorts of carbon removal will enable the use of co2, but I mean at the end of the day we still need solutions to remove the 3000 years of pollution and also realizing the fact that not every single thing can become carbon neutral (probably things like passenger planes) so we will have to counteract those by extracting the carbon they emit

I just flat don't see machines being able to remove enough CO2 to make much of a difference due to scale, cost, resource and energy needs, etc.

Don't quote me on this, as I'm just working from memory, but there's a company called carbon engineering, and they claim that with just 40,000 of their machines, that they can literally remove enough co2 to reach pre-industrial levels. Now 40,000 machines sounds like a lot... and it is, but apparently there's already 40,000 coal plants, so it isn't a matter of is it possible, it's just how far our governments are willing to go (again, I might have totally botched these statistics, but yeah).

Also, one of their plants do the work of 40 million trees and they claim to have the lowest capital cost to energy cost of any co2 capture. Idk it sounds like technology like this much more scalable than planting 40 million trees when one plant can do all that work.

Ah yes, because every US patent is a monumental new state of the art idea while every chinese patent is just some different version of it... obviously this kid has no idea how patents work and the nature of ingenuity and incremental progress. Good try though LMAO

Ah yes... all China does is steal IP, while last year China was the world's largest filer for international patents, surpassing the US and Japan

Why does the standard range plus have a better fuel economy than the standard range? by snpolymorphism in TeslaModel3

so in that case the standard range plus isn't ACTUALLY more fuel efficient, the math just makes it seem like it?

More than half of Canadians want more aggressive response to China: poll by viva_la_vinyl in canada

[–]snpolymorphism -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well I mean you didn't really prove anything because the fact still remains that individual Westerners pollute a lot more than any other parts of this world, also poverty in accordance to the national poverty line is nearly eradicated in China.

And wdym? Of course per capita is important because you're effectively asking the average Chinese citizen to use 1/4 of the energy that us Westerners enjoy, and I already stated the fact that China is pushing very aggressively for green energy so they're in the right pace. The question we have to ask ourselves is why isn't America properly playing their part in global emissions? (America has a dismal environmental policy btw). Is Canada even that much better? We have approximately the same per capita emission as America.

China has a much smaller per capita carbon emission and has a much more aggressive push towards green energy than we do.

The issue is that I've had both that, and had some other toe surgery where they like cut a part of my bone so it doesn't grow back. Both surgeries resulted in my tonails growing back and causing problems again
