Here is my take on it. At one point "Object Oriented" became "Blockchain" (or now Gen AI) of those times. You had to be "object oriented" in order to be taken seriously. This applied to everything. Even finishe

I was referring to the comment that said it would take 2500 years to grow "that kind of forest". What I am saying is that it is possible to grow "that kind of forest" if you have money in much shorter time. Tree farming

With sufficient investment in this it is pretty easy to grow a large forest. May not be redwood forest and may not be tree whose bark is wide enough to drive a car through, but you can grow pretty large trees in < 30 years which can capt

Your prof was correct. We need to cut down existing large trees, put them into long term use where they can be used for 100+ years and plant new trees in their place. It is the simplest and very natural way to capture carbon. Fully grown tr

Ah if that is your true point, then no, I am not an Apple fanboy. My daily primary use phone is Android but my work machine is typically the highest available MacBook. (I can not stand windows). I buy iPhones for my family members.

Yes. Thought customer means a lot of things. I have purchased their MacBooks recently, iphones for family and such.

None of these arguments are very satisfactory to me as a consumer and this appears to be more Mafia like behaviour than a genuine concern for market based competition.

To give context some cities in India hold a massive "send off" ceremonies for Indian students going to Canada and they rent a stadium to do so. The are not just sending by truckloads and boatloads but hudrends of flights full of i

To elaborate a bit more: The points based system is eventually administered by a bunch of government servant and the "points" are subject to the internal politics of the government. Consider the french and english language profici

As someone deeply involved in immigration advocacy in USA I can assure you that the Canadian points based system is terrible. It is the classic case of grass is greener on other side effect.

All customers are worse customers in my opinion, and those who seek max value for their bucks are often the worst. But I am always that customer. I harassed my car dealer so much that it took 9 months but he sold me the car for the exact pr

Overall giving communities more power to handle this situation seems like a good idea. It is important that we treat less fortunate people with compassion but there has to be some mechanism of where we draw that line. Poor neighborhoods of

Google is better than Bing and anything else for my day today work. Few things I miss though : 1. Spam is more than in past. The outrage porn, clickbait headlines etc. are lot more than in past. 2. Dominance of few domains despite poor qual

Nursing is a different problem altogether. A vast majority of healthcare staff in USA is immigrants. Nurses from Phillipines, India etc. Doctors primarily from India, Pakistan, Iran etc. Trump's war on immigration definitely hurt these

> The EU has the right to mandate rules on what corporations sell to its population. I don't see how EU has a "right" to decide what the population can buy or not. Sounds like tyranny to me.

Please buy an Android then. Why insist on giving your hard earned money to someone who does not care about your requirements ?

USPS has mailed me countless tests and I have thrown them in dustbin. Not sure why taxpayer money is being wasted on this crap. As long as tests are available at reasonable price in the market, only poor people should be getting them from g
