Not at any scale that counts. There are a whole bunch of companies _trying_ to make zero carbon cement, but it's all very early stuff. The lifetime of a cement plant is 30-50 years, and they cost 100-200M Euros to…
Yes! Likewise for grinding: offload excess power to industrial plants so they can grind rocks when it's windy. If you look at the problem in the right way, a silo full of ground rock is just a battery.
I work on decarbonising cement production, and the cement producers are betting _heavily_ on carbon capture as their "get out of jail free card". I think they're likely wrong, but - again - it's not like we can just…
Concrete absorbs co2 while curing. It's the calcination process, where we heat limestone up until the co2 burns off, that has unavoidable emissions. Since this concrete is recycled, that's already happened.

The difference is that every single one of your counterexamples is something that society depends on. Nobody depends on 8chan. 8chan is not comparable to "air". This point is so incredibly banal that I'm surprised to…
Yes. Reasonable people "exclude the middle ground" on support for domestic terrorism.
Your comments here aren't helping. The clear implication is that Dr Bouman is receiving "undue credit" in order to push a "feminist narrative". If that's your honest reading of events, then you're the problem here, my…

I had issues with depression when I was younger. Self-harm, severe depression, suicide attempts, the whole gamut. Wasn't hospitalised, but that was the next step. Looking back on it from my thirties, I've come to the…

Heuristics. Really complex heuristics that defy simple codification: the feeling that a particular group of stones just isn't quite safe yet, the feeling that there is weakness in a structure on the other side of the…
The same arguments were made about object orientation: I've never needed it, it's useless baggage with no real world benefits, it sounds great in theory but has no practical use... I've built hypertext APIs, and they…
It's really not, I'm sorry. State is carried by the client, the client traverses links to find out what it can do, the responses are described by a published content type, and the content type defines the semantics of…

So much fear and loathing in this thread, which puzzles me. Anyone who sets out to write a hypermedia API in JSON is going to end up with a structure not dissimilar to this one. If this fits your needs, then use it, by…
I get the sense that you're concerned you won't be able to keep up with technology trends. This is a non-issue. 95% of what you read on Hacker News is essentially froth, the ephemera of technology. You can ignore it…
