The use of AC increases CO2 indoors, doubling or tripling it. Measuring is how I know. AC decreases ventilation.

That's great, but if the hardware doesn't support it, then wouldn't the implementation would be slow?

Posits seem great, but LLNL seems to favor ZFP[1], not posits.[2] Maybe new chips should then implement both posits and ZFP. [1] https://github.com/LLNL/zfp [2] https://helper.ipam.ucla.edu/publications

Just how and why do corporations have free speech rights? Afaik, the Constitution doesn't grant any rights to corporations. Corporations are not individuals; they are capable of significant harm on a national or global scale. From Wiki

An underlying problem is oligarchs that strongly influence the bribed politicians and government officials to continue taxpayer support for fossil fuels.

Nuclear fission doesn't work because it requires a reliable flow of cool water. As such, it warms the planet too. Rivers are often too warm to cool nuclear plants, and so the plants have to pause operations. It's neither safe nor

If you want to work only 34 hours, expect to proportionately get only 85% of your salary. And definitely don't expect others to work Saturdays. Don't contact your coworkers over the weekends either.

This idea needs to be repeated over and over until everyone in the world is aware of it.

People hire people that they can get along with. This is easy to overlook. If truth be told, just statistically, non-Indian non-white minority women are the hardest to get along with in a workplace. They routinely make false complaints. I s

I still see them at phys.org, but there are just a few of them that keep posting very many denier comments. I suspect they might be paid for by a common lobby that is opposed to all things healthful.

Why don't people use free software instead, e.g. a Matrix homeserver run via https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/ ? IRC without a BNC doesn't really work for a corporation due to disconnects.

I don't think you have thought it through. Those work using a blacklist only. First, you can't force people to run DRM on their system. Even if you could, the ML based generator will always generate some new and random that foils

This software is just a precursor to what could be possible in the future. You could conceivably tell the software a caption and it would generate a video for you. How can you control what software someone runs offline locally? You can&#x27

Actually I think that substance abuse (cigs, alcohol, heroin, etc.) is the reason why many of them are homeless to begin with. The right thing to do for them would be to medically cure their addiction, thereby making them capable of helping

I totally agree that it would be worse in the absence of an app based system. The point is to be adaptive and correct the legislative mistakes that get made. Adaptability is always a key requirement for the success of any system. Right now

As a result the entire planet is in grave danger due to climate change. How do we fix this? To borrow a little from Switzerland, I think a direct democracy at every level of government is needed. But first we must have many more remote jobs

The homeless in SF use cigs, not e-cigs. It would've therefore been productive to actually ban the sale of cigs instead so as to drive out the homeless, but why would one expect an ounce of unbiased logic from politicians?
