A typical person exhales just over 1kg of CO2 daily. You'd need emough plants to fix about the same amount of CO2 from the air, under indoor, shaded conditions.

https://www.reference.com/science/much-co2-human-exhale-3f8c...

The fastest rate of carbon fixation by any plants are photosynthetic algae eds, which fix u to 4.4 kg of carbon per square meter per year, or 16.3kg CO2/(m^2 * yr).

http://carbon.ycombinator.com/ocean-phytoplankton/

That works out to about 22 m^2 or 240 ft^2 of algae.

Most land plants offer at best about 1/10th this rate, in full sunlight, and far less in indirect, partial, or shaded light.

A lot.
Depending on your point of view, Org mode has the advantage of being plain text and free software. It is a system you could still be using in 10-15 years time. Todoist might be have bought by Microsoft (or similar) by then and discontinued. This is probably a good reason why Org mode is appealing to academics who may be on a research project for many years - you need to be using something that is going to stay the course.

Org mode does a lot more than Todoist (literate programming, spreadsheet features which I personally use in project proposals for calculating costings, exporting complex documents, logging time, ...) However all that power might be a distraction depending on what you need the tool for :)

Well, I'm not the OP. AFAIK, he may be thinking the same as you.

SQL lacks some power on negative and consolidated joins, forcing one to write more complex queries than necessary. It is this way for good reasons, because those are exactly the kinds of joins that indexes help you least and that most hinder parallelism, so they should be avoided if possible. On my experience, it's not a large drawback, but YMMV.

Though obviously one small reactor going boom is preferable to a big one doing the same.

> But Go, D, Julia etc. only repackaged existing knowledge...

Sure but you could also say that Google (the search engine) only repackages existing knowledge. Not much different from that famous HN comment [1] which says yould could use FTP & CVS instead of dropbox.

If we take Go as an example, sure code style guidelines were old news when Go came out, yet gofmt is still considered one of the best features of the language, because it removes bikeshedding and dictates the one true standard.

In other words, like in cooking, it's not so much about the ingredients but how you package them.

Wouldn't you? Won't you subconsciously notice and want to end the meeting faster?

Imagine breathing at an elevated rate in a crowded room that lacks proper ventilation. There's more than co2 coming from the human body. People will begin sweating, farting, etc., and fill the air with all kinds of pollutants. The computers, screens, dry erase board, etc. will make the situation even worst.

I know that such a room will make me want to make quick decisions to leave quickly.

> Yeah, your game might be fun, but I'll get bored of it.

This is healthy. You should get board of particular creations, at which point you'll move on and discover new experiences. There will be exceptions—some people become very engaged with Chess and go on to play in international tournaments and such—but a majority will find other pursuits.

This of course runs counter to the business of "Games as a Service" products—which is why those products are inherently "evil" in a sense.

With WoW, you can end up doing things like "running a guild" that is not entirely dissimilar from "running a business or an office of a business" and training up other real skills that are valuable to real business. I can well believe there's some people who just sort of slid into doing that sort of thing, and one day had the revelation that if they can do this, they must be more capable than various other elements of their life had been telling them they were.

I'm not sure I'd recommend it as a path to explicitly seek out per se, but if it's one you're already walking, it's a great thing to realize and be empowered by.
It's even worse. The previous controversy this show caused was actual calls to violence, including a very overtly "coded" message to assassinate Trump.

So, CBS will let that run, but will censor anything that offends the communist party of China.

> If gamers are all that price sensitive, why are they buying new games at all? Wait a few years for the price to drop in half.

fwiw I'm referring to the people who wait for the first price drop (which is roughly 20%), but there are a larger amount of people doing as you say, often waiting a full year. But the picture isn't clear on why they wait- it could easily be that they're waiting for the game to be in a good state and it's hubristic to assume intent like that.

Regardless, I think your broader point isn't echoed in the sentiment from gamers at large. I say "I think" because I'm a technologist and it's not my business to know, although I sit on the same floor as our Consumer Market Knowledge team, and I pick up some things. -- but I can see clearly what I have described just by taking a cursory look at any discussion gamers have regarding the price of games and monetisation.

It's a hotly discussed topic, especially on reddit where there are good examples that you can find immediately[0][1]

I can think of some pretty big Microsoft pivots, and I don't begrudge them their choices at all.

But it's curious that you only hear cries of outrage when Google kills products, not when other companies do it.

> but you can't even begin to claim that gaming is in a bad state right now

AAA gaming is in an ATROCIOUS state right now. The rest of the landscape is pretty alright, with the Epic store burgeoning a second wave of indie developers getting off the ground and making waves thanks to the much lower cost to them to publish, and with first-party publishers putting out consistently amazing experiences.

However, behind that you have the larger, multiplatform, absolutely bank-breaking budget weilding AAA developers, putting out your CODs and your FIFAs, one of which happens to hold exclusive rights to Star Wars, all of them making cookie cutter, focus group tested, streamline developed S-H-I-T. The same damn games, over and over, ad nauseum, all of which are now pivoting to chase the Battle Royale fad because everybody wants to now be Fortnite despite the fact that Fortnite already exists and is being played, and the people who have that don't need or want another Fortnite.
> Trump gets for doing what needs to be done.

Reducing new borrowings and doing dramatic gestures to reduce debt? No, he is not doing that. US deficit shot up dramatically as giant loads of new t-bills went into circulation, and financial players got strong signal on US interest rates.

Some of the effects are nice, but I couldn't actually tell where to click both for the reasons other people on here have said, and because I can't tell where the buttons are because they are almost the same color as the background.

That's BS semantics. Their algorithms are based more on the age of your domain and other technicalities, rather than some hypothetical meaning of "search intention".

Electronic voting may be a harder to implement solution in terms of trust but the problem is not non-existent.

Voting today is a complex and costly process. Hence, it cannot be carried out frequently and hence the accountability/ feedback loop is slower.

Imagine if we could conduct voting in a day (even in large democracies). We would be able to remove bad representatives faster.

In the long perspective the Chinese market is the larger one with more people. Currently it makes sense for the US to be protectionist, in the long run the US market is smaller and Chinese companies will benefit from the larger Chinese market.

This played out over 50y with the fragmented European market vs. the larger homogeneous US market. Starting in the US was (is) much more beneficial than starting in Europe (the language and culture issue here will never go away even when policy is more and more unified).
there are some narrow interests that favor Trump tariffs.
e.g. the United Steelworkers Union:

"China ... dumps its excess aluminum and steel on the world market at super-discounted prices. The United States, in conjunction with European allies and others, has repeatedly over the past decade negotiated with China to stop defying the rules it agreed to abide by when it gained entrance to the World Trade Organization in 2001. China repeatedly has said it would. And then it doesn’t."

Did his Muslim travel ban stop terrorism and make America safer? Did Jared bring peace to the middle east? Did his constant slagging of NATO and the EU make America stronger? Are you starting to see a pattern?
Small turnover gives large wins.

There are heat-exchanging air exchangers for high-efficiency construction. I'm not aware of (and don't find) humidity exchanges, though they may exist.

Hung dampened linens (towels, bedsheets) can make a big difference. Many HVAC systems offer high-efficiency humidifiers, and the old standbye of having a kettle on the stove can work (with an energy cost).

Humidity in general is fairly cheaply acquired. Dehumidifying moist air takes much more energy.

European perspective incoming:

Every resident of Switzerland has to have obligatory health insurance. Therapy is part of the basic package that every insurance provider has to cover (for up to N sessions per year). The patient has to pay a cover of 10% of the cost on top.

This shifts the cost of therapy from $150/hr to $15/hr + basic health insurance premiums (<$500/mo). Note that this is general health insurance, so this will also cover physical health etc. (apart from dentistry for some reason).
If you ask people "would you prefer to pay more or pay less", they're going to say "we'd rather pay less".

We're not going to know how consumers actually respond until someone has the guts to try raising prices on a sufficiently large scale.

Mind, I think the better strategy might be to just stop game prices from dropping so quickly. Again, this seems to work extremely well for Nintendo.

We should be giving this man citizenship, not a ticket home.

The most recent tweets by Trump regarding this:

"The reason for the China pullback & attempted renegotiation of the Trade Deal is the sincere HOPE that they will be able to “negotiate” with Joe Biden or one of the very weak Democrats, and thereby continue to ripoff the United States (($500 Billion a year)) for years to come... Guess what, that’s not going to happen! China has just informed us that they (Vice-Premier) are now coming to the U.S. to make a deal. We’ll see, but I am very happy with over $100 Billion a year in Tariffs filling U.S. coffers...great for U.S., not good for China!"

Who said they had complete freedom of the press on US matters? Individuals have a right to that total freedom, whether they choose to exercise that right it totally up to them. US news stations regularly "hold back" on things to appease the US government, choose not to exercise their total freedom. Why should we expect them to treat China's government any differently?

There is a difference between government censorship and a corporation acting in its own best interests. The Chinese government never told them to drop the story, just as the US government never tells people to drop stories. News corporations know that they must maintain good relations if they want future access. Sometimes that means holding back on things they know would anger a government. Profit means striking a balance between giving the viewers what they want today, and making sure you will be able to give them that tomorrow.

Look at the US news landscape. Look at the access CNN gets as opposed to Fox. If you want the big interviews with the biggest players you have to remain on good terms with their leadership.
