Reducing methane emissions is a quick win (and "only" requires us to shift diets away from beef) which buys us more time to deal with fossil CO2 which I agree is the main problem. Also, a lot of forest destruction is associated wi

If all Plaid's customers accounts were emptied in one go, I suspect banks would reverse those transactions and tell any counterparties that lost money to pound sand. I believe the cool kids call it a "hard fork", as in, if yo

I'm not sure if Agile ever claimed to be a good process for coming up with unicorn startups though. It's a way to meeting actual business software needs, much more suited to custom development for one customer than product develop

In the UK, all leases are legally for at least 6 months; 12 months obviously is common. So you could combine that with Oregon law. Or use the German system someone mentioned. Basically anything but the unfettered free market is going for ho

Sorry to have scared you. I don't think pointing out the scientific illiteracy and anti-knowledge in his books is far worse than the books themselves, but YMMV. I commented on a relevant thread in the hope of saving someone else the ti

If it's a book by Malcolm Gladwell, I can't anti-recommend it enough. All of the Malcolm Gladwell books I've read have been tripe. Unless he has radically improved his writing and grasp of nuance in the last decade (and publi

Surely Backblaze needs to do more than just fix the pixel and "investigate". At a minimum: - provide customers with an exact timeline of when the pixel was introduced so they can work out for themselves what data has been leaked -

At least the museum then owns the Rembrand and could, for example, charge people to come and see it, or increase the prestige of their museum by displaying it. Whereas, with the Grumpy Cat NFT, someone, somewhere, can exhibit some bits that

The wikipedia page you reference gives all-age mortality of 0.096% for the US 18-19 flu season. So, with your 0.3%-3% CFR, Covid-19 is three to thirty times as deadly as flu. Call it ten times as deadly; it is also more virulent (R0 of 1.4
