What's best is doing the oil extraction in opposite. Grow plants and capture CO2, bury them in a way that prevents decomposition (is that possible?).

Unless they plan on cutting the forest down, replanting everything anew and BURYING the chopped wood, they are not really helping. CO2 already in trees doesn't quickly return to the atmosphere if wood is used for long lasting things. N

Maybe good to mention that StreetComplete works similarly as a Question & Answers on already existing nodes/paths on OSM. "What kind of surface does this road have?" "Is there street lighting here?" Great way to

How does your company feel about "priority support"? You might phrase it in the same way: we're using package X so we're paying mantainer to fix the bugs we encounter and help us in critical times. It'll cost us twi

I think what GP was trying to say is that it's difficult to prove that, especially since it's longer term. It just requires better framing, i.e. Priority support on software package used.

For a practical introduction to Clojure, check this out: https://heliosmaster.github.io/academy/learning-clojure It's what I used years ago to learn the language.

The guys at 37signals/Basecamp said it well here: https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-presence-prison/ The problem isn't the tool, it's the mindset that often goes with it.

What you are describing isn't the problem for Slack, is the problem of requiring a green status icon: https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-presence-prison/

as far as i can tell, true randomness doesn't work except from in the quantum world. Everything else is random insofar as "we don't know it and it's unpractical to predict". Coin tosses are also not random: they all

Not really, and that is precisely one of the point for crypto advocates. To be used as "virtual" (just non physical) cash, easier to manage.

What if Apple decided that they don't get to gain that much out of AAA games so they don't care offering hardware that those companies might ran on? I have the feeling that Apple just cares about Apps for iOS (money wise). What&#x

What if they simply decided that they didn't care for that part of the market? At some point we should just accept that.

Because we keep building on top of things, and trying to make stuff simpler to use , rather than simpler to change . Hence why I'm curious to see what programming could be in 10-15 years time, when programmers had an iPhone (or equi

The point of GP was that, if smaller keyboards are introduced, nothing stops composers with large hands from using them, resulting in even bigger chords. Hence in competitions you could end up with just smaller keyboards for everybody, unle

Because you can sell your games to the same customers, same machines, outside of Steam. You can't do that with iOS.

Yep. I've immediately read that "we're evaluating whether the second dose would increase it to around 94-95%", I guess they did.

it's exactly like the freelancer tax brackets in Italy. Everybody jumping through hoops (and or not declaring stuff) to remain under the threshold of 60k/year (was 30k/year). Otherwise tax rate doubles.

What about Just Eat (also known as takeaway.com)? Restaurants sign up but they have their own drivers. A common interface / middleman for all restaurants. At least it was so in the Netherlands.

Incentive are not aligned anymore. Example: I order a pizza through Deliveroo. The driver doesn't care about either the restaurant or me, so he chucks the pizza vertically in his box, ruining it. I get a shitty pizza, I won't orde

People are expecting that for profit companies act for "public interest". They are confusing it with the government/state/public institutions.

1. Yeah i understand. Something more free/libre would have been a better choice. On the other hand I also like that it's quite "complete" so i don't have a lot of chances of screwing it up 2. Yeah, I only use DS Pho
