    I'm on the same boat. Buying a land to turn it into a forrest tops my list at the moment. It's possible to get some money back thanks to subsidies (I'm in EU), and maybe I will liv…

    I could be that founding CTO you're talking about, but, being aware of my shortcomings, I decided to put my trust in hired engineers and then in a relatively expensive CTO. It was …

    I love how Norway is trying to reduce deforestation around the world by paying countries not to cut down trees. I would be happy to join similar initiatives with my modest funds (o…

    I don't know where you got the 3% from but isn't UK population just 0.8% of the global total and therefore, per capita, it should be reduced significantly? Since global warming is …

    What about reducing the consumption of energy? According to Wikipedia [1] there is a huge difference in consumed kWh per capita in different regions. It seems relatively obvious wh…

    If the only way for you to keep being a software developer is by going against your ethics then yes, you should switch a career. I'm not necessarily stating that doing 'facebook lo…

    Well, it happened to me more than once when I was a kid. I would finish the last page and go back to the first page. More often I would just open another book though. I was about 8…

    Not taking sides with Apple or Spotify here. Both are interested in their margins far more than the benefits of their clients which is understandable. However, it's strange how man…

    I stumbled upon your website a couple of days ago and found its content extremely useful. The language is precise, opinions balanced and use of data is sensible. It feels like you …

    Placing a camera inside is an outrageous violation of guests' privacy, but at least I understand why they would want to do it. However, the response from AirBnB is simply inexplica…

    Same concern here. I use Google Cloud Shell in a browser to access GC servers but, since I'm accessing servers they control anyway, the trust isn't a problem. I have SSH clients on…

    I tried to teach Gmail to mark emails from FB as spam but without luck. It seems though that deleting the FB account did help.

    Many big corp products have very high margins and can afford to pay premium taxes on production or they can just charge more. Perhaps the tax income could be used for the good, but…
