Doctorow is an awesome sci-fi writer. Imagine a world with DRM on Toasters. Doctorow will not just describe such a world, but also will get down to the tiny details. For instance describing at length the corny graphics on a jailbreak packag

Salesforce is essentially a database as a service with some fancy admin panels and prebuilt web interfaces. The tech is proprietary, and not that fun to work with. [0] As someone who has worked extensively with Salesforce, the cult like fan

What do you consider 'more technical'? HN has a decent amount of breadth and depth. I imagine you'd be able to find more depth (read: technical discussion) in listservs, subreddits, slack channels, and some niche forums. For

Yeah! The Swiss are doing this on a much smaller scale: https://www.livescience.com/61951-swiss-glacier-blanket.html I would think floating tarps would seriously mess with the marine life though.

edit: Polar ice caps are already floating in the sea, so they will not effect sea level as much by melting - the volume is already accounted for. The problem is that the sea ice caps reflect a ton of energy that allow ice to form on land. M

The economic value of a healthy environment is certainly not accounted for, but growth isn't bad. Externalities and tragedy of the commons are. I want the economy to grow. Specifically I want the wind and solar industries to grow REALL
