ok I totally get this. Microsoft co-opted “DNS” as “Digital Nervous System” to try to exploit business decision makers’ dim acquaintance with the term. They had a pattern of doing this with other internet acronyms back in the day. Annoying

Cool. Not being privy to Harry Potter inside baseball I could not tell from your original comment whether you had seen that FAQ entry.

I for one agree we should not, but also we shouldn't underestimate our opponents and assume that we are or will stay ahead.

You do realize that coal then gets dug up and burned, right? Also, have you heard of fracking? It's a blend of the words "cracking" and "fracture" and why is that? Like virtually any geology, there are cracks, throu

There exists an incentive for corruption, is more like it. Therefore we should be skeptical. Then, with a skeptical eye, we examine the scheme and we see that in order to capture carbon, they are first freeing equivalent carbon that was alr

Breaking changes are part of the deal. It’s no secret that iOS has a new major version every year. If there’s blame here, it’s on DJI. And usually the breaking changes only come after many years of advance notification from Apple, unless it

That's an accusation, but there are other more charitable interpretations of what's going on. You are free to choose your own interpretation though.

Updates are opt in, you don't have to accept them. The Ukraine thing is more nuanced than the media makes it out to be. They are in the business of selling drama.

Great post, thank you. As you acknowledge in your wording, we don't know for sure, but for me this part states it very clearly what might unfortunately be a key driver at least at this stage of that company: >Depending on how the or

What I’m rejecting is a kind of perpetual motion machine style setup where you need to redirect a bunch of already captured CO2 in order to capture an equivalent amount. If however the resulting CO2 as they cycle this can be and is in pract

The CO2 in the limestone was already sequestered by nature. They are freeing it, which is the opposite of what is needed. Leave the limestone alone and that CO2 remains sequestered, no additional energy needed. This sounds like a way to jus

That’s not the only failure mode though so it’s possible you’re missing something. Also I said “I think” which means I’m describing my own opinion, not stating with certainty that I know something to be the case about him.

I think "it" meant helium? But regardless we may reduce our natural gas extraction significantly in the future. Even if there's plenty left in the ground. So I'd imagine that reduction of extraction would also reduce acc

Thank you, exactly. This was all that needed to be said and the story is incongruous without some reckoning of this.
