One of the unexpected impacts I experienced when going to zero cups per-day was that I suddenly started dreaming more often and more vividly. It was like how I remember sleep as a child, with nights full of weird and wonderful dreams, rathe

I’m also from the UK and I think this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. As a UK founder that has raised in the UK, I have seen our US competitors raise substantially more with substantially less traction, so in future I’m significantly more te

Yes, this is where the *nuance* mentioned at the start of my reply comes in. It *should* include all scopes, including upstream emissions from purchased goods and services from abroad. But in many countries their country-level carbon invent

While there's a lot of nuance to this: in carbon accounting it is standard practice to account for the same emission more than once. Carbon inventories are broken out into three different scopes, the first two scopes concern fuel and e

Neither investment in EVs and repairing transmission issues live in isolation and both can be invested in at the same time. Solving one issue might also help solve the other (e.g. charging EVs can occur at non-peak times which balances ener

Our business has an API that can be used for displaying dynamic information at point of sale (i.e. dynamic in that it cannot be cached and will need a DB call). While we encourage our customers to try and use us asynchronously, we have a nu

Agreed. I work in the sustainability industry, and forestry carbon accounts for a small minority of offsets available. It also has plenty of well documented flaws so we often steer out customers clear of it. Yet the media and every blog wri

I agree, it makes no sense to have them stored in the same password manager. One of the things I like about 1Password is that we were able to switch off the built in TOTP for our whole organisation, and force all TOTP codes to go via Duo Se

Totally agree, it’s crazy to have your 2FA and password manager be the same application. You can actually disable 1Password’s 2FA and tie a different 2FA. I’m not sure if it’s just a business/teams feature, but we are able to require e

Damage costs != offsetting costs Every extra tonne of CO2 does cost $196+ (I’ve seen credible estimates as high as $400), but through offsetting you could verifiably ensure that more tonnes are avoided for far less. As a crude analogy, if t
