Can we please also mandate landlords to update appliances in rental units if they’re not footing the electric/gas bill? So tired of paying obscene rates for inefficient appliances that I have no control over.
Very cool, going to check out the cited books
Perhaps, if we’re lucky and we also move quickly to reduce (not financially ‘offset’) new pollution
At my first full time job my supervisor specified that I could hang up on anyone who brought up their lawyer, used abusive language, or brought up the BBB.
Democracy was dead from the beginning, the ‘founding fathers’ were afraid of the masses and the structure of the government is a reflection of that. On top of that the dominance of political parties (which George Washington warned against) makes it essentially impossible to vote for someone who generally shares your interests which is what you’re supposed to be doing in a democracy.
Science, the mode of inquiry, is great and generally requires a broad consensus before something is accepted. Singular studies should be processed with a few grains of salt—academics aren’t immune to bias or faulty reasoning.
My problem with the these lessor of two evils party liners is that they have no exit strategy or long term vision. It’s the same thing every two years as things steadily worsen overall. Certainly no room in their worldview to respond to climate change effectively or efficiently.
okay, this is really cool. Love when people make interactive stuff like this to help us grasp concepts

Actually since Nintendo is obviously japanese (brain jumped the gun), it’s even worse, protecting mostly foreign profits on taxpayer dime against a US citizen.
Really glad the US government went out of their way to protect Nintendo’s right to profit off the work of their (likely US citizen) employees who probably don’t even work at the company anymore. And on the dime of the taxpayers! Feeling especially safe knowing this guy will have to struggle forever.
I’m digging Axios’ format lately
That’s a great distinction between software to support a product or workplace function vs software being sold to consumers or whose main intent is to advertise to and/or data mine consumers like my nextdoor example.
Yeah I’m kind of wondering if companies tend to outsource the more negative stuff like making privacy settings reset every month (0_o nextdoor) to somewhere geographically distant from HQ so it’s less personal/hard on morale, but I know next to nothing about the industry.
Hopefully it’s obvious that I’m referring to private/public sector developers who might see this, not people working on developing federated programs:)
That sounds like a great policy, hopefully other countries will follow suit!
