I think what you are looking to do is find the amount of biomass stored in the earth's surface, crust and oceans, and then apply a value of stored energy for that amount.

This is part of the carbon cycle.

One factor that must be accounted for is the large amount of energy that ends up locked into fossilized life, basically a percentage of life is transformed into minerals and stone (Like seashells, petrified wood or limestone) and although the energy is still there it is in an unusable form at this point in time.

There are lots of reasons to dislike Fauci but the fact his investments in mutual funds in 2020 made money is not a reasonable one. Show me a mutual fund that didn't make money from the FED pumping the markets and I might think differently.

Telling us masks wont help then admitting he lied to preserve supplies for health care workers, that should have been enough reason for him to go.

When a official lies to the public then admits the lie but continues to be in a position of trust all credibility of the institutions they work at is gone and they do more harm than good while they remain there, no matter their intentions.

I cant help but wonder how many more people would be vaccinated if not for him facing no repercussions for the lies he told.

It's a trap!!!

oh so you think they are being stolen from inside the Amazon warehouses? That is an interesting idea. I have heard of them being stolen at some point after being shipped but not before. You could very well be correct, I just assumed there would be a camera tracking every time a person blinked inside an Amazon warehouse, maybe that's where they got the name for their camera?

I am not sure how the seller program work exactly but have seen many adds for learning how to make money on amazon using arbitrage techniques and assumed they were just selling a dollar store or Walmart item for profit.

*EDIT*

I missed the part about people sharing from their own personal gdrives, this will surely cause problems with broken links when they leave the company and restrict access, Google drive allows multiple users to upload files to a shared folder then edit them but I don't know if there is a seamless method to create a new file or document in a shared folder.

I think what you are asking for is a solution to your problems that something like moving over to SLACK might do.

but if you are set on using emails and Gdrive only then...

I'm pretty sure there is literally is an option to download, and if you have a PC dedicated to doing this, you can use chrome and google offline drive sync to clone a google drive to a desktop and automate the process.

Not to get too far into it but what you need to do if your plan on sticking with google is have a single system/google account share out access to folders created on it that are specific to each employee. I think you may have done this already.

Then it should be a matter of following these steps.

There is a lot of people that fit between rich and poor, do I think that organized gangs with cell phones and bolt cutters were the ones that initially broke in? I sure do, do I think they are rich? nope.

Just the amount of discarded items indicates an organized effort on behalf of the thieves and most likely a steal to order game plan.

I have no doubt that the entire scheme was cooked up by some meth head while the rest of us were sleeping. Those guys are always looking for an angle to make a quick buck and yes they are desperate too but that shouldn't be the stick we measure criminality and the punishment required by.

In many states a pawn shop is required to hold any items brought in for a minimum amount of time before they are allow to resell them. This may be a solution to prevent online marketplaces from enabling thieves to ply their wares so easily.

There are waiting periods to buy guns it would be just as easy to require an item for sale to be advertised for a minimum amount of time before the contact details are provided.

The sad part of this situation is the initial people that broke into the containers on the trains are long gone with their loot, now the marginalized people are getting caught digging through the discarded items that were not valuable enough for ones that broke in and most likely they will be the ones prosecuted for political gains even if they get out on no cash bail.

What needs to happen in these cities is some auditing of the second hand sellers. Pawn shops are required by law to record all items that they purchase but many of the people advertising and selling online are moving larger volumes of product with zero accountability.

The Kijiji and Craigslist type sites have mostly been allowed to operate in a gray area but there is no doubt they are facilitating the buying and selling of stolen items and as such a percentage of their profit is actually subject to seizure through proceeds of crime legislation.

I found the following excerpt more interesting:

>>>YouTube trends expert Chris Stokel-Walker said this year's list is interesting because it shows "how stale" YouTube has become. "It strikes me how white and male this whole list is," he said.

Never waste an opportunity to increase engagement through division and polarization!!

2000+ people using the google drive? Yikes!!

This doesn't answer your question but my Gdrive is a mess and I'm only one person. Typically I download the the contents on an annual basis in zip files, extract them to a Month/Year named folder on a portable drive and start fresh with a clean Gdrive until the next time it gets out of hand.

I would think Downloading first then using parsing tools locally would make things much easier to organize than doing it through Googles front end.

After thinking a bit more about it, what you probably need to do is make a requirement for all internal emails to be CC'd to a central address then use that address to download and or synchronize itself to an offline drive where perma links can be issued.

What I have noticed is an increasing number of orders going unfulfilled or being delayed for a very long time before shipping.

I believe what is happening is the people that made a business of selling readily available items at their local brick and mortar stores for an profit on Amazon have been caught in the inflation trap and are now unable to find the items they had advertised on Amazon or if they do find them they are forced to take a loss due to the increased price.

Well it is either sarcasm or ignorance to say that Taxes, UBI and a Free Market could ever exist in the same economy or be part any economic device.

I'm thinking probably ignorance as the comment also thinks that raising the costs of energy used to produce BTC will somehow make it less profitable to mine when in fact it will simply increase commodity value and most likely drive more interest and increase speculation thus consuming more energy.

I heard that the person who invented single serve coffee pods felt a similar guilt when they witnessed the amount of trash created from such a popular invention.

>>> We should tax the hell out of every ounce of carbon emitted and use money from this tax to pay basic income so that people are able to live with increased prices. Free market will sort the rest out

Sarcasm?

Is Mountweazel a play on Mouthweazel? I have always heard this used as Mouthweazle.

This looks like it could be useful but it took me a while to find the widget examples.

I am certain that the creator is very smart and has created a great tool for programmers, but I would suggest including a "Dumbed Down" video on their start page with practical examples such as the battery monitor or GPS mapping.

There is a huge audience of beginners and less technical experimenters that this tool could gain traction with but the information on the main page is most likely way over their heads as far a technical jargon goes. Arduino is popular because it is easy, KISS.

IMO there is no better information than the stuff freely available from the largest search provider.

Anything else is a loophole or bug yet to be patched.

I thought I was an alcoholic beyond help but it turns out I was just selfish. I used to drink to get drunk almost every day when I was living with someone, they drank too but not to the excess I did. Then one day they were gone, they passed away and suddenly I found myself alone and responsible for maintaining a home and taking care of several animals. I realized I could not risk something happening to me in my drunkenness and have no one around to help me or call for help, end up dead and leave my animals alone in the world with no one to care for them. So I quit, no shakes, no depression just a few cravings now and then for it but far greater of a feeling of loneliness and missing my best friend in the whole world than wanting a drink.

I don't know if it makes a difference but my alcohol of choice was beer and I consumed between 10-15 every night for around a decade. I still would consider myself an alcoholic because if I drink even one beer, I am going to keep drinking until they are all gone, but I guess I have the ability or wisdom to choose not to have that first drink, or maybe I'm just co-dependent without anyone to make it happen. Lucky for me I suppose.

Yep, Canada will be fine as long as we don't want fresh vegetables in winter and can increase the capacity of our abattoirs.

I think I could live off rolled oats and beet sugar for quite a long time in any case!

And the latest Governor General now speaks in three different languages!

I find this comment quite interesting as it seems that the majority of Canadians are unaware of the upcoming restrictions regarding this subject.

It almost seems that there are many more Americans upset with this than Canadians, maybe this has to do with the fact many more Canadians have rolled up their sleeves IDK.

I think the simple answer other than striking down the law would be to have the brokerage agents that are already located in northern US border towns to contract short haul cross border drivers that have been jabbed.

I started a moving business with a 1 ton cube van, the transmission line shorted on the battery cable and the whole thing went up in smoke one month after buying it.

Insurance company gave me the option to write off at 50% value or repair it, I decided to repair it and over the next year the entire front suspension of the truck disintegrated due to the chemicals the fire department used to extinguish the fire.

After 2 years I was forced to face the reality that I could no longer continue to run my business at a loss and laid off my helper, parked the truck, found a job and paid off the debt I had accumulated.

All in all it was a costly experience that gave me a greater appreciation for business owners that hire people as the only person who made money was my helper.

So I have decided not to sell my position ATM but feel it is only fair to report that currently I have a loss of $156.16 + whatever the selling fee is.

I made a critical mistake in placing a market order instead of a limit order when I purchased this and ended up overpaying about $0.80 per share but even so I would still be down.

I may be making another error by holding this over the weekend, I guess we will see on Monday!

Is this something that has recently changed? Couldn't urban areas also be divided in a similar fashion? or would that be seen these days as racist or elitist?

I can't help but feel this "Study" was done by someone living in a skyscraper in the center of a metropolitan city that has never seen a live cow or horse before and that somehow feels wrong to me.

I think this is brilliant, not for N95 masks and the whole Whuhan Fever stuff but this has huge potential for industrial applications in the occupational health and safety fields. There is a need for these monitors in everything from confined space safety to firefighting where having a small battery is not a prerequisite and wearing a respirator is already a requirement.

I look at this as a possible example of something good coming out of the tragic situation we all find ourselves in, along the same lines as the medical advances born out of the horrors of war.

I'm not sure how to think about this, technology does constantly present us with new questions of morality.

My dark sense of humor did chuckle at the "Mootrix" comment though.

>>>Oh don't imagine I'm not sorry but HN is not a church confessional.

It is also not a sounding board for sociopaths presenting themselves as victims of ageism.

>>>I'll never pass jobs with DBS checks due to convictions. plus I guess I'll never get a job coding due to ageism

No one past 60 should be seeking out a career, that is just a fact of life.

Crashing into the prison rocks could be taken as cruel I suppose but the fact is this person was a lawyer who broke the law at least twice got caught and the crime was substantial enough that it was judged they needed to be locked up for committing it. It is very unfortunate for everyone involved and most likely a career ending event.

I have personally witnessed the effects of so called white collar crime, it is not a victimless crime and should not be discounted.

TBH I'm not thrilled with the fact they are working on a masters degree, it seems like a waste of public resources spending them on someone who had it all, threw it away and still wants more. It feels like they are taking away an opportunity from someone more deserving just to feed their EGO.

Now to actually be cruel I would have to say something like, "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" or "You can put wings on shit but it still wont fly" but I wouldn't want to come across as mean.

I was not trying to be mean or negative. I am aware that HN is not the place for such things. My question and comment was sincere, normally around now when the bullies pound my comment to the bottom of the thread I would rethink it but not this time.
