I am italian living abroad... and De Cecco is the only pasta that you can consistently find that does not cook to a mish mash Can you find better? Yes of course, also from the same small village in Abruzzo Fara San Martino (see Cocco), or most of the produce from Gragnano, or Rummo (from Benevento). But among the really commercial ones, not many are better than De Cecco, and even if they are, they are very difficult to find

Btw I am biased: my grandmother was from Fara San Martino

While I really do like this, I cannot avoid remarking that python starts to look more and more like perl

That's exactly why there is a black market for 0-day exploits... because they are worth more than what are paid by the companies owning those liabilities

I as a parent can understand that, but what it was asked is how to read a lot of books if you have kids

I think the answer is: you have to decide what activity you want to trade for that.

On the other hand, if they cought them all, in the long run society will remove the funding, actually leaving us without an "immune-system" There is a balance to be achieved

That's only true if you assume a even distribution. If you cluster them the scenario is a bit different (your conclusion might still hold anyway)

Some have the never get cancer solved (I read that about chickens... but I can't remember where)

Simply because we reached a state where we can. And also, we evolved a brain that led us here, so why not?

Very true. But still, in the current situation fencing might actually be a good thing: a boost in research in the right direction. Also if temporary, it might be just enough to make the step needed, and it is anyhow better than nothing.

Yes carbon tax would be a good thing, but it has to be part of a balanced tax-intervention, and the benefit is a slow down on the collision path, but we need something to reverse the direction, and carbon tax is not it, is just buying additional time to figure out a real solution.

(I also wrote down a more articulated answer to what I thing about carbon-tax)

This analysis has quite a few assumptions in it, for example the carbon-tax might (and should) not come "alone" and many of the things stated can be tamed increasing social spending, subsidizing basic needs etc. With the net effect that something like flight travel and secondary needs are going to be more expensive, while keeping the primary one at current cost-levels.

Politics should (and often does) play a game of weights and counter-weights in economical terms to steer the society.

So yes just introducing a heavy carbon-tax is not the right solution, and I also think that long term is useless: as an example, I live in Europe where the cost of fuel is significantly higher than in the US, but traffic and fuel usage is comparable. Most likely it was lower than US in the past, but society tend to catch up anyway.

I think that something like the idea in the article is a good solution because it is not just a mere reduction, but could make carbon sequestration (via plants) useful to produce food, therefore fixing a present problem and as a byproduct also reducing a future problem.

I still think that Carbon tax is needed, but it should come in a very well thought-out packet of reforms.

Very clear explanation, love the diagrams.

To me this is a more sensible way than carbon tax, or even better use carbon tax to fund research like this.

I don't think that economic incentives alone might fix the situation, and maybe not even slow it down sufficiently. We need political focus, and high investment in research.

The website looks a bit amateurish at best

I'll just take care to bring either chewing gums or tape. Problem solved

The audit looks actually legit, but still they are located in a 14 eyes jurisdiction, not really the best for privacy

I had exactly the same thought interesting "coincidence"

> Europe trying to make Americans not to talk about past crimes of EU citizens? This is just bt

I don't agree, the article is unilateral, but it has very sound arguments

this to mefeels like an unpaid advertisement from freelance.com

reason being that the report feels bogus, and is posted were lots of skilled labor can be found
