Life isn't fair, and is full of "victims," real and perceived. Doesn't it grow tiring, constantly making excuses for people?

He may be a legend to some, I'd consider him a cautionary tale. He had one child, who called him a "basket case" https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jan/12/juan-thompson-... His result

Could you go into some more detail about the Google interview? For instance, was there whiteboard coding? What position were you hired for at Google?

I'm not trying to set (or move) any goalposts, I'm just pointing out that per capita emissions is a fairly useless metric to judge anything by, for reasons we seem to agree on. Ideally, I'd want the free market to manage the

How is that moving the goalposts? Any poor, overpopulated country is going to have low per-capita carbon emissions, true or false? They also have a lower quality of life and poor GDP. Not exactly a positive goal to shoot for.

Wasn't this called elance? Until they renamed it and it got weird.

The "1 child policy" is what you get when you have an authoritarian government instead of democracy. China doesn't have a properly functioning government, therefore they have to resort to crazy policies like that. And I don&#

So as long as your country is overflowing with poverty-stricken people, you're a role model for solidly low carbon emissions per capita? Got it..

by Danihan 9y ago
And therein lies the problem.

by Danihan 9y ago
So you're saying you want to emulate countries that have much denser populations, countries who are so poor that they can't afford much carbon-producing industry, yet who continue to have unsustainable birthrates? I'm pretty

The deal is unenforceable, very expensive, and most likely will fail. Also, China emits twice as much greenhouse gas as the United States.

This falls under "pro" correct?

Thanks for clarifying the pros and cons of this policy without inserting any of your personal bias!

I'm not sure you understand. It's not about what journalists genuinely believe, it's about what narrative creates the most polarizing, emotional and long-standing controversy, because those traits result in eyeballs and ther

Exactly. If you love what you're doing and feel challenged in the _right_ way, 17 hour days will generally feel like a difficult but worthwhile gift. Back in the day, I used to love working 16-20 hour shifts (unlimited overtime) in a
