How do you define discrimination and harassment precisely, so that the line is clearly drawn and does not slip?

No, it's supposed to be comedy.

I never claimed the phenomena was unique to this situation - it's a general phenomena. Deforestation is a real problem. How do you address this from a policy perspective? If you ba…

It's a concern, but fortunately if cattle population stays constant, their portion of the atmospheric resident methane will also remain constant, because methane degradation will k…

You make a strong argument. I think this is a case where we'll find the global optimum somewhere in the middle. Deforesting the amazon to grow corn for cows is something I'm sure w…

There is a certain amount of carbon in the atmosphere, and a certain amount of carbon in the ground. When you burn oil, you take carbon from the ground and introduce it into the at…

This analysis omits an important detail which I wrote about in a different thread a week or so ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26541860

Yes this is correct, I'm guilty of oversimplifying.

agurk found some nice charts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26542283 I suppose some people may consider stable to be overstating this situation. Nevertheless, when put into …

I agree we should not ignore detrimental environmental effects. However we should strive for a nuanced view which attempts to determine root causes. The root cause of artificial fe…

Yes that's right, plants can't tell the difference between a carbon atom which came from fossil fuels, and a carbon atom which came from an animal. It's all mixed together / fungib…

You're comparing north america to the world, and the American Bison are only one species while cattle have displaced many species.

This is a very insightful comment, thank you!

I'm likewise unsure if it's fair to treat cattle production which did not engage in deforestation (perhaps located on the great plains or similar) the same as cattle production whi…

This article measures current biomass distribution. Given that Bison herds in North America has reduced from 60 million to 30 thousand, and I suspect other species have seen simila…

Sorry I didn't mean to say that atmospheric methane has not increased. It definitely has, as other commenters have pointed out. However, I contend that most of this increase is lik…

If the seaweed is a pure win, then I agree with this. I just think a deeper understanding is also worthwhile.

I wasn't aware that fertilizers are commonly produced from fossil fuels. That's definitely a problem! I'll add some additional caveats myself. In certain areas of the world (South …

A common misconception which I frequently see when this topic arises is the failure to distinguish carbon cycles and one-way carbon emission. You exhale carbon dioxide. However, th…

Nickel does not generate Terraform. It is simply a language. The idea is that projects like Terraform could use it rather than create their own language out of a mess of JSON files…

Thanks, my mistake

Edit: Please disregard, wrong person > terraform modules are functions You seem to have found this feature useful. Doesn't that answer your question about why you would want a conf…
