Absolutely. And those failures sour support for further efforts. Vicious cycle. Reforesting (rewilding) is farming and gardening. Proactive ecological management. Per "You broke it…

It's mesmerizing. Akin to dance. I love it.

TLDR?

I'm very interested in "seed bombs". We have to plant something like one trillion trees just to keep up with losses from forest fires. Imagine the economics, supply chain, science,…

I volunteer at greencitypartnership.org, leading a crew restoring a large park. I've been wondering how we might build a community of urban forest hackers. To share tips and info, …

Well spotted. Thanks for share. Much better than my draft glib response: founders of FIRE punch down and suck up.

I can't wait to hear your take. Please. Continue.

Surprised that FIRE criticized an actual incident of supressing free speech (vs vibes). Shocked that they criticized someone(s) in authority, with actual power. Aha! Author is a gu…

Yup. The Correct Answer™ was and remains Scheme. Acknowledged by all parties involved (and us baffled bystanders). The negative consequences of JavaScript rival both \0x00 terminat…

Michael Crichton also was an outspoken skeptic of climate crisis. Crichton's Law: unwittingly serving as the best example of one's own snarky law.

Land value tax (and Georgism) seems favored here on HN. This discussion covers the basics, reform efforts in Spokane WA, and what led Spokane to this point. Very meaty discussion. …

> It was for an internal system too... Ya, in that case, IMHO, self QA can be fine. Customer facing products (deliverables) need QA/Test. Again, IMHO.

For troubleshooting, esp blockers, I totally agree.

BYD's continued growth in R&D spending supports your conclusion.

Absolutely. Every other player, especially domestic, would benefit if USA's monopolies get busted. Ditto usurers, trusts, monopsonies, cartels, etc.

It's an attack on USA's AI tech giants. Destroy any hope of profitability, prevent further capitalization, ultimately bankrupt them. Hasten the popping of the AI bubble. Drag down …

I'm sorry for your loss. Too late for your endeavor, FCC is now a pay to play racket. Perhaps you should try again?

What's the received wisdom for the USA to (re)build it's own chip supply chain? I dimly recall $500b, 30 years, invest in domestic educational pipeline. I'm 100% on board with fede…
