I realize the author was probably using the term "unreasonable" for literary effect. But it's not unreasonable at all. A ho of the "Dragon Book", W einberger of Bell Labs, and of course Brian K ernighan of K&

I think, possibly, yes. However, if that were true, then it would also apply equally to other humans. The way our brains are wired might overestimate other people based on how they communicate? Well, on average, we probably do. Almost certa

yeah, it's pretty sad, right? but that's what they do. mostly it's subsistence farming - e.g. they raise enough food for themselves. and of course, every able bodied family member works for minimum wage somewhere, when they c

apples and oranges - per acre suburbia if anything uses more water. if it's good enough to shift the high water use crop farming elsewhere, then why isn't it good enough to shift the golf courses and lawns, to say Iowa then too?

by fargle 4y ago
That doesn't explain why suburban lawns are needed in an arid climate. At least alfalfa is a product . When you water a lawn with potable water you are flat out wasting it. When you water a crop you are using it. Now, over-farmi

i didn't make that rule of thumb up. but yeah, it's within margin of error. change the crop or number of harvests or have less lawns and it could go either way. the point is that, the water use for developed land is roughly the

highly problematic also for the agencies collecting the taxes. it's odd that you focus on "growing carrots" is wasteful when if you got rid of lawns and golf courses in the desert you'd immediately save enough water to f

by fargle 4y ago
I've heard the rule of thumb is that an acre of carrots uses as much water as an acre of tract homes. I just did a little math and it's about right: an average crop irrigation might be 2-acre-feet water per-acre (imagine water 2ft

This is garbage. It typifies a kind a drive-by rant disguised as a rational opinion that is basically insulting to the intelligence of everyone, regardless of language preference. The level of narcissism and pettiness is high, and the level
