You don't think usage would go up dramatically if electricity was free?

Well, you can build shit with the wood that's going to last a long time and plant a new tree. Though I'm not sure the lumber processing & construction isn't producing more carbon than the tree sequesters...

If you told a child "you see, when you go in the water, your lungs stop being able to absorb oxygen and your brain shuts down - after long enough - we cannot start it back up again" they aren't going to understand. Using alle

A great Canadian songwriter once wrote - “If you chose not to decide you still have made a choice”. Capital needs somewhere to park, and it all come with risk. I don’t know a company that will be immune to the direct effects of climate cha

Just introduce Baikal Seals to the Great Lakes & they'll eat the carp. Plus - water pups!

Well sure, but the majority of your energy spent is fighting to get up to speed while in the atmosphere. A balloon or dirigible or some buoyancy play should be able to get you to a certain atmospheric density regardless of planetary gravity

Right? A balloon first stage seems like an obvious work-around...

It is flabbergasting to me that we expect self-policing from protestors, but not the literal fucking police.

I’m sorry but 10X the sun over a square kilometer 24/7 is a incredible weapon.

It's surely not worthless. The air is filtered, the concentration of cough droplets drops off rapidly with distance (inverse cube, I'd guess).

I recently got a call from a Chinese supplier on a presumably VOIP call, routing through my local area code and it has thrown my "avoid the 315 unknown" strategy out the window...

Most of the potential energy of rain is wasted as it falls through the sky. What you really want is a huge funnel held up by enormous hydrogen balloons that catches the rain directly from the cloud, and miles-long hose coming out of the bot

Be in position to take these bets in the first place by meeting the necessary but insufficient requirements within your control: gain skills, work hard using them.

I wonder - does YouTube still serve ads in ‘demonetized’ videos and just cut out the creators commissions?

Your penultimate point doesn't address that this isn't about expectations. It's asking companies to actively cause their own profits to fall. Raw material prices are being bid up - but even assuming you fix those prices someh

A better idea is to subsidize flexible-enough factories. Fir example, the Feds pay your local cardboard box company a yearly stipend to run 1-week emergency drill where there swap production to n95s. They could maintain a database of "

That's sounds a lot like "we're not giving them money to help, but if they can pull a solution out of their asses we'd appreciate it"

It's a way to cement power and the perception of power. Skirting international law like this sends a message that you can do whatever you like. It's not a lie, either. Abu Dhabi is a pretty clear signal that America plays by the r

This is a really tricky position to take. How exactly do you measure the benefit of video chat with your grandkids every week, no matter how far away you live? Ubiquitous access to the internet?

It's a real shame that housing supply is fixed and it's impossible to build more.

I believe he means: they aren’t in competition for customers. They are in competition for stockholders. Stockholders exist in a true competitive marketplace where AT&T must provide value to get their business. This is strictly not the c
