Sigh. You don't prune threats you can't control from a threat model, you document them so that the consumers and maintainers of the target of assessment can intelligently reason about the threats as the product evolves.

That's a pretty bold claim to make without data to back it up.

This is super common. When I worked at Mozilla, most stuff was open, but I still couldn't talk about stuff publicly because I wasn't a spokesperson for Mozilla. Same at OpenDNS/Cisco, or at Fastly, and now at Amazon. Lots o

Wow, you kind of went off the deep end there. I am not a vegetarian, nor do I promote a meat free lifestyle. You made an assumption because I said something you didn't like - a simple fact about the food production. You see thousands

Sure, but you are only looking at one potential impact of this. I can think of at least 3 benefits that are seem pretty clear without doing a deeper analysis. 1. Adding an appropriate carbon tax for gassy cows offsets reduces or eliminates

This is a potential solution, but the problem isn't solved until the market actually adopts it. Without a financial incentive to follow through (for example, a carbon tax on gassy animals) to offset the added cost of feed supplements,
