I'm convinced there's a pareto distribution of crop water usage. We're depleting our aquifers to grow sileage crops and almonds (which aren't even that good).

Mostly. Sometimes people will do what's good for them, externalities be damned. I like leaded gasoline as an example. It wasn't an oopsie. We know it was bad from the day it was introduced and lead producers fought to keep it know

I think most people take showers but most people don't irrigate their fields.

Currently, my waste water goes right back into the Mississippi. Fresh water galore. That's not the case on the west coast. Residential (lawns aside) isn't a drop in the bucket compared to agriculture though.

Prevention is worth more than cure, sure, but cancer doesn't discriminate like that. You can still get unlucky.

I think some of it is people just refuse to go outside and do things. There's plenty of opportunities if you want! But the world isn't going to come to you.

HackerNews is an echo chamber. You're not even allowed to call people f*ggots or speculate about the Jews here!

Reddit moderation isn't unified. You could just as easily get banned from arr slash conservative. What was the thing that "the mods" claimed was a conspiracy theory?

For me, it's the environment where all the boosted replies are all calling you a fag or doing Protocols-style antisemitism? I saw too much about "the Jews".

Reddit has plenty of conservatives! Personally, I just don't want to hang out on /pol/, or have the top comments being slurs and antisemitism. A lot of the "own the libs" energy can't exist without an enemy to

No, until the Passkeys people figure out cross-platform exports! I love Passkeys but hate that part of the spec.

Right, I doubt it lower prices but it will save people money on the buyer side. I don't know how you would lower prices in NYC other than building even more.

Maybe, but landlords like saving money and might opt to do away with the broker middleman rather than eat the cost.

How is that fundamentally different from Reels and Shorts and whatever Facebook has cooking?

Heh, now they have two yields to worry about. What's stopping them from doing this with the various commercial-off-the-shelf system-on-a-chips?

TSMC (and AMSL) are the bleeding edge of semiconductor manufacturing. There's a long tail of other semiconductor manufacturers that don't operate at that bleeding edge.
