The planes in the air are not the only release of co2 required to provide air travel. There’s an industrial pipeline of machines to mine materials and machines to produce planes, all the travel to and from airports. The drink service carts

“Outrage”. Your qualification of my emotions is way off. 2.4% when talking tonnes may be a small percent relative to the “big picture” but it’s not 0 tonnes, it has an impact, and production of machines to produce planes, production of more

I clicked back through the years available for my city on weatherspark.com Back in the 90s, never above 90-91 in Sept. In the last 10 years we started seeing 94-95 in Sept. Coincidentally air travel has doubled in that time period; from 2.2

I think it’s the opposite; he’s such a square which explains why his imagination is stuck on literally creating Snow Crash. Anyone who has tripped balls and come out OK is not so addicted to literalness as Zuck. They realize a multiverse of

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately; human languages are only 5,000 years old. Humanoid spatial reasoning, intuiting “enough heat, food, water” is a set of fundamental problems we evolved to survive. I’d say it’s more than just “all

I am not saying it’s not producing art, I’m saying a human instigated the machine to produce it; it’s a robot with a bunch of brushes in its hand. The difference between that and life evolving to fill a gap in a vacuum is the computer did n

Good intentions behind making life “more comfortable” achieving a result of inequality, inane busy work, and climate inversion is everyone’s fault. Laws and borders are ephemera; California did not create this contemporary reality; the spec

Excel has a history of forced format updates, breaking incompatibility. I know people who banned it because they got tired of marching to MSs upgrade beat. Python 2 to 3 upgrade aside, can’t really say the same about the language. There are

The main problem is people wanted to make money so they went into the business of building things that financiers threw money at. So long as people are going to treat nation state totems (coin) and scripture (bank statements) as sacrosanct
