Management by Twitter polls (dominated by bots) is crazy. But also, it's somehow not the craziest part of all of this.

But then where are you putting the CO2? Terrestrial DAC usually pumps it in to some geological formation.

It kind of floored me when I first heard it. Tripling the cost of jet fuel would be bad, but not that bad. And that number is likely to fall.

For passive carbon capture, I don’t understand what you’re proposing. Let’s pretend: Joe Biden gives you a nuclear aircraft carrier and a team of nuclear engineers. Now what?

Companies with good climate intelligence tech tend to evolve in to marketplaces because that gets them closer to the money. Climate projects can't afford SaaS, but offset buyers are willing to pay a premium for offsets re-verified by h

Those all have measurable effects. But at a population level, which of those are actually driving meaningful fertility decline?

If you're looking for an alternative to the (very problematic) carbon offset (CO), check out Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). COs are designed to incentives reducing CO2 in the atmosphere, but verification and traceability problems mak

I think that the coinages are mostly reasonable. Finance/accounting have a thick lexicon. So does computer science. So does devops. And those lexicons are all mostly non-overlapping. Granted the crypto lexicon is a lot more playful&#x2

In addition to the chemical ones others discussed, there is informational "garbage collection" as well. There are a bunch of motor tasks that only show certain types improvement after sleep - not time, sleep. There are also rodent

That makes as much sense as saying that they'll be a "steam engine."

I don't think energy is the limiting factor here. A better analogy would be with the limits of computability. Garbage collection tasks are postposed to when we're asleep, but they can only be put off for so long and there's a

Dope. I've very optimistic about the new paradigm of spectrometry + ML for metabolic biomarkers. I don't care about the level of any one analyte! I want to know the overall picture of my metabolic health inferred from 100's o

Do you estimate the analyte levels and then use those to calculate your summary statistics (bio age, polyamines level, etc) or do you estimate the summary stats directly from the spec data?

That's very clever honestly. All those 1's and 0's in there makes the wordmark looks "very computers," but it's also a meme, and it's also about longevity. A lot packed in there.

How stabile is your "biological age" stat? Is this more like blood glucose (can change dramatically in minutes) or A1C (takes weeks to move significantly) or is it even more stable than that? Said another way: In the extreme case

I think it would be immoral for land property rights to operate in the way you want them to. Property rights for copyright, tractors, land, etc all work differently so there's no obvious "most ethical" way to manage property

The "dawn phenomenon" (predictable early morning hormone and blood glucose changes) is definitely a thing. But the implication/interpretation that therefore morning/breakfast is the most dangerous time to eat, is wrong.

This has got to be HN's favorite intermittent fasting meme. It combines a "well actually" with a false sense of mathematical precision - both are crack for HN. But it's more false than true. The truth in it is that mice
