Sounds like you're in LA? Installing both solar panels and and AC on every home in America would be huge (there are quite many that have neither). It would be hard to have an AC you power yourself be rationed.

The article noted the CO2 released matches what humans do in 2.5 hours. Yet, some eruptions have lowered temps globally for months/years. The long term effect from the CO2 is real, but also a tiny drop in the bucket compared to humans

Managing a team of software developers by fitting them into a project management process is certainly not "Agile". Yet, yeah - I would agree that is what happens.. The distinction between agile development and agile project manag

The issue with scrum is that every 2 weeks you are supposed to decide next steps based on customer feedback, not a "business roadmap." Business thinks in terms of quarters, not 2 weeks. Thus - how does one get predictability out o

> Wages, after adjusting for inflation, are more than 20x greater today than they were 200 years ago. Agree. Though, the time periods are not all that comparable and I'm really referring to the last 20 to 40 years. 200 years ago, ag

"in-person" review can be the best I find. If a CR is going to have a dozen comments about everything, it's a disaster to do that async - the author is going to feel attacked. The dialog to resolve the conflict & disagree

To add to this, "no time like now" is real. Follow-ups rarely happen, tracking them is a pain. Making someone accountable for it is unfair, particularly if they disagree with the follow up (and presumably they do, otherwise they w
