Except the lack of government AND the massive amount of pollution and resources waste.

Monero is more about polluting and money laundering than privacy.

There is some privacy in it, but it’s overshadowed by the other things.

Please, do name and shame.

Wake me up when they consider joining Taler.

Disabling downvotes can avoid such drama. Some instances do.

Obesity isn’t just about what people eat or how often they exercise. It’s shaped by biology, experience and the environment we build around people.

Changing the food industry and/or regulation isn’t easy for a single person, even if every bit of pressure helps.

At some point there is physics involved and calories matter. I guess it could be framed as the industry’s failure to produce healthy food, which individuals can try to workaround by comparing calorie count when choosing food, and by avoiding soda.

It’d be interesting to see if there’s any study to verify if making nutritional recommandation works better when stressing it’s in large part an industry’s failure, in order to minimize feeling of failure from individuals.

Cost of action far lower than cost of inaction

This applies not only for climate action in the UK, but to climate action elsewhere.

It sounds like this ruling is based on a technicality. If so, couldn’t FTC make the same decision, this time better following letter of the law?

Another reason to avoid Google. Try Startpage, Duckduckgo or another search engine.

Blocking of piracy websites are a good example of a decision to block escalating to rediculous levels, and becoming increasingly problematic.

Companies from the from music/cultural industry convinced a court to order ISP to block some websites, and they did by meddling with their own DNS servers.

Then those companies came back to request blocking by alternative DNS providers such as Google and OpenDNS, since people used them to workaround blocks.

And next of course these companies attacked VPN providers, asking for more blocking, again because those allow working around previous blocks.

These ISP, DNS and VPN providers are third parties with no involvment in piracy, but they’re being forcully involed into that fight anyway. This is completely disproportionate. If they want to fight piracy those companies should only be allowed to attack those actually involved.

If they have their way, we’ll end up the having the equivalent of the great firewall of china dedicated to tracking and blocking anything remotely looking like piracy or p2p.

Those objects are flying by very fast. I wonder if we could have a probe slingshot, using the comet as gravity assist. But they’re probably not massive enough.

Harry Potter and the Transphobic Shrew

Certaines associations essayent de prévoir un système de garderie pour leurs événements, pour que les parents (isolés) puissent participer. Ça demande des moyens.

That’s an option but doesn’t seem realistic. If a service is freely available on the Internet, it’s hard to ban it in a specific country. China and Russia are doing it and that require massive Internet censorship apparatus, strict measures against VPN, Tor, and online privacy tools.

Google talk a lot about future renewables and nuclear energy projects, but they’re increasing energy consumption before those projects start producing energy.

So Google rely on burning lots of fossil fuel to power its fast AI developments, meaning their AI plans are increasing pollution and aggravating climate change.

I can’t read the announcement since the link is dead.

But everytime I hear about cryptocurrency and ICO, I immediately assume it’s a scam, ponzi scheme, or another kind of ethically dubious scheme.

Turn the carbon market into a carbon tax. There would be no made up carbon credit to sell.

YOLO

It takes years to clear mines after a war, better start early.

To this day, farmers and construction workers are still stumbling upon unexploded bombs from WW2.

It’s only beginning.
