Pine needles may be calorie-negative and unpleasant to eat, but they're very high in Vit C and available in the dead of winter. I would hardly call them inedible. You can make an oxymel to extract the vitamins & make it easier to eat.

Perhaps we agree as a society to pay for universal access to the digital "town square" - collectivize Facebook, Google, etc and pay for it through taxes.

> If customers do not care enough to stop using the product then there is no harm.

Facebook users (notably not customers) are the ones being harmed here, and they don't exactly have free reign to choose the platform their communities talk and organize on. If I choose not to use Facebook then I'm isolating myself from my community.

Bolivia. The US-backed coup against Evo Morales may very well have been in part because of his intention to implement state control of lithium extraction, preventing foreign companies from ransacking the country's natural resource. https://www.humanrightspulse.com/mastercontentblog/bolivian-...

Fires, hurricanes, extreme heat, and drought are made more frequent & severe by climate change, and they certainly kill people. Climate change also disrupts food systems and will cause civil war and mass migrations. Millions will need to migrate just from coastal flooding, which I'd imagine will cause plenty of geopolitical strife and ultimately lead to many deaths.

"Existential threat" in my mind means humanity itself is threatened. The species will likely survive but millions if not billions will die due to climate change.

your shorturl doesn't seem to work

I'd passed this over on Netflix, assuming it would be too introductory. Is it interesting enough for someone who's already familiar with the premise from having been around on HN?

The page doesn't seem to load in Firefox.

I use the pure O.N.E.: https://www.pureformulas.com/one-multivitamin-60-capsules-by... recommended by Dr. Rhonda Patrick, along with Magnesium CitraMate: https://www.thorne.com/products/dp/magnesium-citramate

I assume local food is more well-studied than local fashion, and may have similar environmental cost profiles. This study: http://www.iufn.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Making-local-... found that transportation is actually less important than other factors.

On the other hand, local food has other important advantages: resiliency (perhaps less important for clothing), and supporting the local economy.

How would they decide that some computation was "needless"? If it was the best they could do at the time I'd argue it wasn't needless. If they were intentionally wasting CPU/energy for no reason it would be a different story.

No, smoking is usually defined as smoking daily. But there's so few people that smoke less-than-daily that they aren't usually included in these sort of studies so it's harder to say what sort of effect it has.

Yeah, it's sent me around the back of buildings more than once.

They also looked at vitamin B, iron, and multivitamins.

Plug for thisplacewillbewater.com - they have a great map of what 4C warming will look like and you can also buy biodegradable stickers to post around and raise awareness if you live in an area that will be underwater.

I'll believe that when our CO2 output per year stops accelerating (never mind when it actually starts shrinking!)

No, I think it's saying that your client only does this at the request of the keybase server to create an initial XLM address for the user, not that it will on-demand add random stellar addresses to the user's profile.

EDIT: See malgorithms's comment; it doesn't even do this much

Wait, what? NYC has some of the best tap water in the country (barring some old buildings with bad pipes).

You might be interested in what Extinction Rebellion is doing. If they're organizing in your area already, I strongly recommend you go see their "Heading for Extinction" talk in person, but their website covers it pretty well too. Their basic idea is 1) yes we are barreling towards extinction of humans and many other species, 2) nothing anyone has done so far has prevented this acceleration, and 3) non-violent direct action (aka civil disobedience) has the best chance of affecting the quick and drastic changes needed to avert the worst effects of the climate crisis.

Teslas aren't really able to drive far outside populated areas.

That was my idea behind https://github.com/seveneightn9ne/dino-budgeter - you can try it out at https://dino.jesskenney.com/ - it's missing a lot of the sort of guidance/hand-holding that YNAB provides, and so far it only has the features I personally wanted, but it's at least been enough for me :)

Hm, I'd heard the Amazon consumes at least as much O2 as it produces; it's basically in equilibrium. Unfortunately I don't remember the source but it was something like Planet Earth.

I found a lot of sources quoting your 20% number, but it seems like that's not net produced O2 but rather gross.

I'd be interested if anyone can find a source that says either way about the net O2/CO2 of the Amazon.

If you're including RSUs in that number, sure

How is this using end-to-end encryption? It seems like the recipient just clicks a link to download. How can it have been encrypted for that person? end-to-end encryption normally means that there's no way for the intermediary to unencrypt the data but I can't see how that's possible in this case.

If you make 1.2 million a year you could literally retire after 1-2 years and live comfortably (on ~40k) for the rest of your life. Want to live on 100k? Only takes 4 years.

This looks useful! I glanced over the code to make sure it's not gonna exfiltrate my repos. Surprisingly simple and clean code!

Technically that is the point of patenting - it should be available for anyone to read how it works. Do they specify the patent number?

This study looked at Americans following the Mediterranean diet.

Investors want to buy long term bonds because they suspect the interest rates will get worse, so they want to lock in the current rate for a longer time. It signals that investors are expecting a recession.

There are a couple of features I feel are missing. 1) ability to filter by beginner/intermediate/advanced resources. 2) ability to rate & review resources and then sort by popularity/rating.

As it is I see a ton of resources for my target language, with no way to choose between them.

Nice work overall, this seems like a really useful idea especially for less popular languages!
