No other country can plant a rainforest the size of Amazonia, come on that does not make sense. The Amazonia rainforest is unique and cannot be replaced, I don't get how the rate that it's getting tore down to plant soy crops for

If nothing else, remote work means much less sleep deprivation for a lot of people, because they can wake up a bit later. If you have kids to take to school it might not change that much, but if you can take them close to the start of class

Firebase is like a web developer friendly version of Google Cloud, that it bases itself on. It gives easy to use serverless CRUD (with Firestore), authentication, authorization, secure file upload, hosting and server-side functions for thin

I thought there would be competitors, I don't know why Firebase is not getting more adoption then, it's still a bit of a niche and Google does not seem to be pushing it as much as a couple of years ago, even though the product is

The term Serverless is meant to illustrate that by using things like the Firebase ecosystem and namely the Firestore database, the most common database operations such as CRUD operations can be done in a secure way straight from the client

I don't believe in architecture being done fully via a separate role, it's counterproductive. What you need instead is developers on the team who also understand software architecture, and implement it especially in it's init

It's still not OK, but it's probably the only practical solution for preventing the Earth from warming above 2 degrees, which the latest science says we only have 12 years to prevent. I don't think even with taxes we can prev

I think it's not just tourism, it's traveling in general. We need to stop taking the car or the plane like it's nothing for the environment, and taxes are the only way, we can't rely on people's common sense. A sing

Last time I checked, Amazon was essentially forcing you to sell your 1000 page years of work e-book for $9.99 or less, taking "only" 35% of the price sale (used to be 30% a couple of years ago). If you want to sell it above $10, t

I feel that a huge amount of people have still a hard time accepting that it's true, especially if doing something about it means changing something so deeply ingrained as their food habits. On the other hand, major announcements like

The fall of the rainforest in 100 years or so is a certainty at this point, as well as the temperature rising over 2 degrees. There is no way that world politicians and governments are going to move in time to prevent this, because it would

The incentive to keep deforesting is to provide cheap beef meat mostly for western countries which can pay the most. By reducing the amount of meat consumed in the west, there would be no reason to keep chopping down the forest, it's e

It's a very unique fruit, unlike most commercial fruits available in the west it's 85% fat, it's got 7 grams of fiber, and a single fruit has about 320 calories. That is about the caloric equivalent of 3 medium-sized bananas.
