  • I read the whole thing, yet still don’t understand how they actually reduced the light pollution. LEDs shouldn’t inherently create less light pollution than light bulbs, halogen bulbs etc…

    They also wrote that street lights only contributed 8% to overall light pollution. 8 to 2% might be significant in the statistical sense, but that’s a pretty small decrease for the overall light pollution. Though I still appreciate that they’re doing something, rather than going full steam in the wrong direction.


  • They don’t care about fairness, they only complain because they don’t come out on top. They also care a lot about IP/trademark law when it’s their own brands, yet they have apparently been selling what is basically counterfeited champagne and prosciutto di Parma. They’d throw a fit if someone tried selling non-US “Bourbon whiskey” in the EU.

    Also, I bet most South Americans wouldn’t care about the difference between the original and the fake (or “feta-style cheese Made in USA”) if the fake is actually cheaper while still tasting mostly the same.
