  That’s not my main point as I don’t think the heat capacity of food is so important over the long term.

  I mean, that the inevitable inefficiency of the fridge in a closed system, is no different, that any other device consuming the same amount of energy, as it all ends as waste heat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bit rude, innit?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  An indoor refrigerator in the winter is essentially a resistive heater. It’s not nearly as good as a heat pump, but may be better for the environment that burning gas, depending on the local electricity mix.

  You would need to filter by direction, that way it could only be spoofed by aircraft or another satellite. Sadly the only way to archive that, while going through the atmosphere would be with near visible light.
  Besides needing a clear night sky and being a danger to everyones eyes, I don’t think having lasers pointing up is very stealthy either.

  Because you can stack rectangles into bigger rectangles, can’t really do that with hexagons.

  The idea with metastatic is, that you can just put a repeater and battery in a box, stick a small solar panel on it and put it somewhere outside.

  In my opinion bicycles should not have a high beam, but here goes:
  Look inside, do any components look fried?
  Can you get the led to light by applying the a low voltage with a current limiting resistor directly to it? If I don’t know what to do with the circuit I would probably go outwards from the desired results.

  Declining birth rates in Africa will become a problem for Europe, because immigration is how we keep our healthcare systems running.

  More scientists and inventors, more philosophers and artists, more people that share your niche hobby…
  The only people who have a problem with that, are hipsters or just like dieing a preventable death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Ploughing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The main problem is that, not ploughing increases the need for pesticides, currently around 8% of energy used and reduces yield. While not ploughing increasing requiring 3x the pesticides might not be the case, a 20% reduction in yield seems plausible.

  The main energy consumption in farming is fertilizer at around 50%, but more importantly half the emissions are related to animal agriculture. Cutting back on that would actually make a difference.

  The seed hides in the secure element of your device. (it won’t be impossible to extract, but the average kid is not gonna be able hack a secure element).

  But only one person needs to “hack” it on their device to publish the key, allowing everyone to use it without “hacking” their own device.

  You can’t store a key on a device and keep it safe from the owner.

  While it was probably not the best use of our time, it certainly made me think about relations and algebra in more interesting ways than the last uni course did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In this essay...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But I am not taking about an amount of different things, but a parallel or branching number line being part of the set of natural numbers.
  I am not talking about modular arithmetic on its own, but as part of the set of natural numbers.

  Under the missing axioms those constructs would be part of the natural numbers, including an x in N such that s(x)=x and therefore x+1=x. While some might think this implies 0=1, it doesn’t, because we don’t have the axiom of induction, an thus can’t prove a+c=b+c => a=b.

  The usefulness of such a system questionable but it certainly doesn’t describe the natural numbers as we understand them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S A TRAP⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are also an infinite number of rationale between two integers, but the rationals are still countable and therefore have the same cardinality as the naturals and integers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In this essay...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know how how natural numbers work, but the axioms in the comment i replied to are not enough to define them.

  Not sure what you mean by ‘loops’

  There could be a number n such that m=s(n) and n=s(m). This would be precluded by taking the axiom of induction or the trichotomy axiom.

  If we only take the latter we can still make a second number line, that runs “parallel” to the “propper number line” like:

  n,s(n),s(s(n)),s(s(s(n))),...
  0,s(0),s(s(0)),s(s(s(0))),...
  

  there are no natural numbers that are negative

  I know, but the given axioms don’t preclude it. Under the peano axioms it’s explicitly spelled out:
  0 is not the successor of any natural number
