The biggest use-case I see for hydrogen is more of an energy storage and transfer mechanism. With the world switching to renewables that generate power inconsistently, some countries are looking at putting the extra power into hydrogen generation via electrolysis, which can then be used at night/low-wind days to keep the power grid stable.

If we ever get to the point that we've got a surplus of renewably generated hydrogen, then it could make sense to start using to power cars, heating, cooking, whatever.

What race is being discriminated against here? I'm pretty sure monsters would be a species, not a race.

Standard seconds are defined based on measurable properties of a cesium atom. The historical definition of 1/86400th of a day doesn't work for science if the duration is inconsistent.

For example the statement:

Earth's Days Are Getting 2 seconds Longer Every 100,000 Years

becomes self-referencing and loses all meaning without some other reference point.

I guess you haven't heard they're experimenting with injecting ads right into the videos on the server. Just turning off scripts won't do anything for that.

Interesting read.
I think by all the same arguments, running raw machine code (not even assembly) is not a "low-level language" either by their definition.
The branch prediction, instruction-level-parallelism, and cache behaviors all happen in hardware at a lower level than the programmer can control.

All the talk about compiler optimizations seem irrelevant because you can still just turn them off and output simple machine code.

I'm not really sure what the point of arguing the distinction is anyway? Any practical arguments would be much more specific about typical high-level features like garbage collection.

I don't get it... In what world is Jeff Bezos the one getting drops?

Is there some new crazy drama over on Twitch? Or is this meme just completely backwards?

Well maybe I am out of touch. I don't frequent bars like I used to.

How many of those Instagram posts are of strangers? If people record themselves at bars and post it, why should I care?

We clearly do not share a sense of humor.

I don't know what bars you frequent, but I'm pretty sure if someone was in there filming strangers they could be kicked out. It depends what kind of place you're in. Filming in a strip club for example would obviously be against the rules. Bars are not publicly owned spaces, and you do have some expectation of privacy in them.

I personally don't appreciate jokes about violence either, but whatever. I'm not policing the Internet.

I know you're making a joke, but this doesn't really feel like the place to do it given the subject being discussed.

Do you want your drunk antics livestreamed and recorded for the entire world to see forever, instead of just the few people in the bar paying attention?
