  • the pandemic was really the only significant player here, since it stopped world trade.

    Sure russia is a fair example, but here in the US we barely felt it, and we did pretty quickly close up the trade problems.

    i’m sure countries are moving away from it, and ensuring industry a bit, that’s not surprising, it happens everytime. It’s going to get outsourced later eventually. And they’re not going to onshore every single industry either, it’s simply not possible.









  • there are two big arguments for a denser layout, notably you move your hands less, which means you can type faster, statistically speaking. It makes it easier. Generally you see typing speed track roughly with this over time.

    And since you move your hands less, it’s ergonomically better for typing, so you get less strain, you have better ergonomics in general, you can type longer, and even faster since there is less strain.

    Different layouts optimize for different things, some optimize for efficient roll combinations, some optimize for switching between hands as optimally as possible. Some don’t really do any of that (qwerty) which also have a significant impact on typing.


  • that’s only true if you’re a trump supporter, it’s absolutely true if you’re not. There are most definitely concerns to be had, as there always are, but globalism is fundamentally good for the economy. There is no world in which this isn’t true, so you should push towards globalism, even if there is some risk, because it will likely stabilize relations significantly.

    oil and resource industries are pretty well known for being energy intensive no?

    last i checked industry is the primary energy consumer. Sure there’s less people in alaska, but it was just an example i picked, and the market economics would still be applicable there. If it’s cheaper to buy hydrogen, than it is to produce locally sourced power, that’s going to be what happens.


  • yeah thats pretty much the TL;DR here. It’s complicated since oil is complicated and there isn’t really a “insert oil” oil to talk about, there are a lot of variations of it, and a lot of ways to refine it, and a lot of different resultant products from it as well.

    The fact that the modern petro industry even works is kind of insane.
