Can you think of anyway we could measure individuals doing this? I’m thinking reverse Bitcoin - provide a kit for people to start generating terra preta and deploying it and then give them coins for the amount of carbon they store.

So I’m thinking the same. Soil + Terra preta(charcoal + food waste) is the best way. There needs to be some kind of inverse Bitcoin - something where we incentivize large number of people to claim areas of land and terra Preta it up. The re

That’s an interesting statistic. Is there data anywhere that has a consolidated list of counts of accidental death by injury. That would be a great place to look for startup ideas.

I’m surprised the military is not more interested in the boring company. The ability to tunnel at high speed, unseen to satellites or planes. transport military hardware fast in a completely safe environment - sounds like a revolution in wa

How about just building a simple compost heap under the heatpump and using the hot air generated by that to ease the energy needs?

or... Just use the metrics outlined in the accelerate book, which have been fairly well studied and have quite a lot of quantifiable evidence to back them up. E.g. Deployment frequency Lead time for changes MTTR Change failure rate A quick

I'm not the biggest fan of this analogy. I find it reductionist to the point it loses it's meaning. Actually the whole human body is constantly growing, not just cancers. I'm am growing new skin cells as we speak, approximate

If your company is dependent on the CEO to make 100% correct decisions, 100% of the time then it’s not the CEO that’s the problem - it’s the company. A strong, resilient, adaptable, agile company can weather a poor leader, a weak, brittle,

I worked at Nokia during OPK and Elop. I always have to cringe when I read these articles blaming everything on him, he’s Finland’s favorite scapegoat. Truth is, the rot set in at Nokia long before Elop arrived. What most people don’t reali

So wait, are they suggesting that they make the chitin here on earth and ship it off to the moon/mars? Or are they suggesting that they ship insects & food to the moon and mars and create the chitin there?

Imagine you tried to replicate your PC by creating a simulation of the CPU. Sure you could probably simulate some of the functions without too much difficulty, but the value of the PC is not in it’s CPU alone, it’s in the interaction of all

I’m not such a fan of all this Jony Ive bashing. It seems unfair to ascribe the whole minimal/flat design movement to him. I remember reading that in university he designed a pen with a part that was for ‘fiddling’ with in meetings, co

Another thought, is maybe you could also make this a slack plugin. Would reduce the onboarding friction.

Cool, yep that also works. Another awesome thing would be the option to run a speech to text algo on the conversation and have it transcribed into the channel log so if I miss the conversation I can catch up on things. But also you would ne

I just meant more - 1<>1 channels. So I could say : sqwark Dave and it instantly creates me a 1<>1 channel with Dave of he’s available. Also just noticed the second download link lower down the page doesn’t work.

Awesome! Great idea - if you are looking for feature requests, it would be great if you could also create only bi-directional channels on demand. Basically like a Star Trek communicator...

This is the stupidest advice i’ve read in a long time. The economist should be embarrassed by this. When Facebook moves fast and break things the worst case is that a webpage doesn’t load. When you are mass producing a vehicle the worst cas
