Why burn them to charcoal? Living trees continue to be efficient carbon sinks for potentially hundreds of years. If you have to cut them down you should use the material for construction, to reduce dependency on energy-intensive steel and concrete industry.

But it’s a moot point anyway, because trees simply grow too slowly to be an effective carbon buffer at the timescales that are relevant right now.
That consolidation of tools couldn't happen UNTIL the smartphone came out though.

Again, none of those things require self driving technology to put onto a central unit in a car. Add some cameras and sensors that collect data.

This is in no way a deep problem. We make it deep by using psychological mumbo-jumbo, being too politically correct, getting triggered too easily, destroying the family support system...

I am sure if the website included majority of fortune 500 companies, then .NET usage would reflect favorably (it still won't overtake java but it would be up there).

There is a place for technologies and associated stacks where the demand exists. The whole .NET and Microsoft ecosystem is super useful for large enterprises who have plethora of data and somehow need to accommodate employees who are both IT and non IT (think of typical IT Business Analysts and scrum masters and product owners -- they are usually involved with microsoft-based tools as I find it).

I don't think 3-10 seconds should be the bar. I spent years using a 14.4k / 28k / 56k modem.

That was during the mid and late 90s.

Browsing the web where you need to wait 3-10 seconds for everything to load is not a good user experience. It's a colossal waste of time, and today we have so many more reasons to view more pages compared to back then.

We should strive for an improvement instead of trying to stick with limitations from 20 years ago.

The real problem is people developing sites now give zero fucks about resource constraints. This is exactly like lottery winners who went from being poor to having 50 mil in their pocket but then end up broke in 3 years because they have no idea how to deal with constraints.

It's also a completely different type of person who is running these sites today. Back in the day you made a site to share what you've learned. Now you have "marketing people" who want to invade your privacy, track every mouse movement and correlate you to a dollar amount instead of providing value.
Yup. Also energy monitoring and efficiency. Lots of cheap improvements are still available, especially in areas with old building stock.

There are tons of ways of doing it, but all of them necessarily cost more energy than you extracted from the fossil fuel. So, from an energy economics point of view, first we stop extracting the so-called "unburnable" fossil fuels - end conventional and shale oil exploration and phase out their extraction. Then, with our spare renewable energy, we can start condensing fuel out of the atmosphere; there are several processes for this, including one the US Navy is pioneering for at-sea refuelling of planes on nuclear carriers.

- Most people care a lot how corporations behave. Many corporations have a very, very bad reputation and it affects their business. E.G: I know more than one person who deleted their facebook.

- Google got its popularity by indicating it was not a standard corporation ("Don't be evil" and acting on it). Google is free to sell that away, but if it does it loses a hard-to-quantify place in our idealistic hearts.

- Maybe you're right, maybe we should hold other tech companies to a higher standard too.

- The US Gov has no effective means to change the structure of China's government. It also cares more about trade and stability than the freedom of China's population.

Right. If the US is representing anybody, it’s Google.

For the Americans who want your government to represent you, you’ve got some work to do. Most Americans I know speak of their government as though it were just some poorly run business that somebody else is responsible for. Get your own house in order before you criticize others peoples’.
The surface area of a roof is tiny in comparison to planting miles and miles of forest. It's also very weight sensitive, but the goal is to capture, remove, and continuously replace a huge mass of solid carbon. Finally, green roofs select succulents and other plants that grow slowly, but for this goal you want a species that grows like a weed and produces literal tons of biomass that have to be trucked away and be buried.

The "plant trees for charcoal" idea is basically the bio-engineering method of "build huge photovoltaic solar plant, use electric energy to power chemistry to convert CO2 to oil". Photosynthetic plants are pretty efficient, compared to silicon solar cells, and they're (literally) dirt cheap.

Yes, non-edible cakes made of light, cheap materials like styrofoam are routinely displayed at weddings and other ceremonies. One of the layers might be soft, allowing for fake-cake cutting.

The hosts know the cake is fake. Many of the guests know the cake is fake. After cake-cutting, the fake cake often remains on display while everyone eats slices of real cake brought in from a kitchen.

No effort is made to pretend that the cake on display is real. It has come to be understood, accepted, and expected by society that there should be a cheap sculpture of a cake on display and that everyone should act as if this cheap sculpture is a real cake during the ceremony.

When will Mankind release its trillionth tonne of CO2?
I like the idea of helping with education and stuff, but why not instead help them develop clean energy?

I’m just REALLY not a fan of the “can’t let the 3rd world have so many people and then develop to 1st world standards” thing. It may technically help the problem, but it feels like soft racism and proto-eugenicism, at least from the perspective of people living in those countries. It gives me the creeps, although I’m sure that’s not your intention.

Also, I’m convinced that the main way to solve these problems is human ingenuity. And that can’t just include people in the Western world.

Even if the math ends up that we are indeed doomed, this type of behavior is not aligned with the human spirit. If we get lung cancer from smoking, we can learn from it, defy it, and /stop smoking/. Or we can become the vice incarnate, and die with the smug satisfaction that we were right because we gave no hope.

The Korean War ended up benefitting South Korea in the sense that they didn’t up like North Korea. The free trade agreements have largely been responsible for large numbers of the world's population improving their living standard. There are other examples of intervention being good. Of course there are lots of examples of intervention being bad.

There is nothing special about Western intervention vs. intervention by other regional powers. Nations with power rarely use it for the well being of the world. But shouldn’t one strive to have governments do what you consider to be right?
but it's also quite close to CO2 pollution since a lot of emission are in cities (low efficiency use of ICE I believe)
You burn them because that prevents decay from releasing CO2, stabilizing the carbon for at least a millennium. Young trees also add biomass much faster than old growth.

Using them for building material is okay as well, but the amount of wood needed to get rid of the excess CO2 is far above any reasonable demand for building material. (We're talking about a trillion tons of carbon here)

Because the bison were between 3x to 4x less numerous than cattle, lived far longer lives than the average 2.5 years to slaughter of a cow (not counting veal calves which are killed far sooner and never graze). It’s not just the number of cows or bison alive at any moment, but when you consider a 10 year period and count total individuals it’s even more stark due to rapid turnover of cattle. Buffalo were part of an ecosystem, so you had a loop of carbon in soil, carbon in plants, carbon in buffallo, and then a lot of that carbon returning to the soil as bison or wolf corpses.

Modern cattle spend some time grazing in the Great Plains, but start their lives on farms, and finish their lives on feed lots. Then they’re slaughtered, and more CO2 is emitted transporting them all around the country and indeed, world. Then of course, the bison existed in a world before heavy industry, a world of millions rather than billions of people, a world before automobiles, airplanes, coal fired plants, oil exploration, strip mining, rainforest clearing, ocean acidification and overfishing, etc... etc...
> It is govt policy to reduce Co2 emissions by 80–95% by 2050.

Pfft. I'm German, and follow the politics to a reasonable extent. Our government (esp. under the conservatives lead by Angela Merkel) is notorious for failing to meet their own emissions goals. You didn't mention the 2020 goals; at this point, it's pretty clear that we're going to miss them. I don't know if there are any 2030 goals, but seeing how they always tout the 2050 goals, I don't think so.

>Collect and compile data to create 20 more pages, all of which my 3000 subscribers actually come to my page for.

Very quickly you can see why an extra 2 seconds of loading time is not on our mind. Its important to allocate resources effectively, changing my website to load faster is limited value added vs creating content that my users actually want.
That's a straw man which conflates Google with the regulations it is proposing to follow.

Google wants to do business in China; and it does so by obeying Chinese regulations. It obeys the law. End of story.

I can empathize with your struggle.

>Anything that requires interaction with people makes me want to avoid it even if I actually want/need it

I used to think this was some rare personality defect or freak in my education/formative years. I later realized that it meant I was simply a bit shy/too accommodating of other people/not confident enough in myself to speak. Perhaps you can get over it by resolving to be more courageous and not shy away/put in the effort for interaction. It's an effort for sure - it takes brain cycles and effort to interact with others. Some people get this easier because of practice (through family/friends) and I basically assume I didn't get enough practice in childhood. TLDR; don't over-think it :)
I am very much a .Net fan and have been using it for most of my work for the past 10 years and with .Net Core, I can leave Windows without leaving .Net. Technically, I think .Net Core is better than the reasonable marketable alternatives in every way.

But, when you look at the jobs that are out there, while there is no salary difference between .Net and NodeJS, at least in my market, there are a lot more jobs from well funded small companies for Node. Besides, JavaScript isn't going anywhere because of the web. I plan to stay up to date on C#, but also add Node to my tool belt - just to increase my options.
> it makes more sense to push for regulation rather than expect big multinational companies to Do The Right Thing

How does it make more sense?
You can't influence foreign policy of your government and you won't find a party with such specific topics which is also powerful enough to actually accomplish something.

With a company like google you can create a shitstorm that will cost them. You can break a companies reputation with a hand full influencers those days.

PS. a company is not a robot (we'd even expect ethics from them). It consists of humans and we should expect acting ethical from a human. They don't get a license to kill the moment they enter their office.

Wait a sec, I quoted 'still seen as a positive role model' and yet you think I am having a pop at Germany?!

Also Germany is the largest economy in the EU, so isn't it natural to look at them first? (Which in any case was not in my search terms - this came up when I was searching EU)
>> Time is one of the biggest ones, you have to have someone (normally a manager) dedicated to cash management before opening and after closing.

When I eat with a group of people, it's very common that I'm the only one who pays cash. It's also very common that taking care of my bill is the fastest of them all. It's easiest on the wait-persons time. But since the owners generally fuck over the wait staff anyway, it's no surprise that they don't care about their time.

Who's to say that regulations didn't play into the demise of IE? Maybe if we hadn't had the antitrust cases in the EU (and the US!), at some point MS would've been confident enough to just make it impossible to install a different browser.

I'm going to try hard to keep this in "Why are charter schools demonized?" territory and out of "Should charter be schools demonized?" territory

--------

short answer, is that a lot of them tend to be run by scammers trying to turn a buck

--------

Long answer, is that education is actually a weird product, with a lot of information asymmetries baked in, and where a lot of time the quality people are actually hoping to buy is the signal around the product, instead of the product itself

And the signal is often elusive if that's what you're actually hoping to buy

InciWeb – The (Forest Fire) Incident Information System
I worked for 2 years as an AmeriCorps volunteer in Atlanta Public Schools. I'll preface this by saying I don't know if I believe charter schools are bad or good, but here are some arguments against them:

- Charter schools take money away from neighborhood public schools. Most schools are funded per-capita, so fewer students means less money. But many costs are fixed/discrete (e.g. school nurse costs N thousand dollars).

- Charter schools have inflated performance metrics. Often charter schools don't serve special needs students. More than that, charter schools bias towards engaged and interested parents. Because of policies like No Child Left Behind, it is really bad for local neighborhood schools to have all of their high performing students leave for charter schools.

- Corporatization is evil. Charter schools often run more like a business than a socialized institution. Some even pay kids for good grades. Often, the success of a charter school depends on marketing, and successful marketing depends on performing well on metrics. Charter schools are then incentivized to "teach to the test" and potentially force out students who don't perform well. "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

If you have examples where America puts money before the freedom of the individual to have a political opinion, then it's those examples that need to change, not our standard of America.

There are many benefits and drawbacks to charter schools. The conditions in my area are not universal to other parts of the country.

Sadly I agree.

Climate change is one of the reasons we're not having kids. In part because they would have had a very bad life, but also because it's the best for the planet.

Reducing consumption of resources is not working, so we should start thinking about controlling population growth.
People who think Linq is "less unique" think of Linq as just pretty syntax to work with collections.

No other language that I'm aware of has duplicated the fundamental power of Linq -- expression trees.

Expression trees allow you to express your query logic in Linq and let a provider at runtime translate that expression tree to SQL, MongoQuery, REST calls, etc.
