When those of us who work on CO₂ removal (CDR) meet, it’s apparent that no one wants to do this and no one thinks it’s easy.

It’s far easier and cheaper to stop emitting CO₂.

The fact that some of the smartest people I know decide to work on CDR signals our desperation.

OUCH. Canada has enacted laws to require big tech companies that generate ad revenue while sharing links to stories from Canadian news outlets to compensate those publications, and the response of Google and Meta is… to start removing all Canadian news links from their pages.

That means Canadian news just won’t appear in Google searches. It spells disaster for Canadian journalism, all because they asked to share the profits from their work. https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-block-news-links-canada-over-law-paying-publishers-statement-2023-06-29/ #Canada #news #Google

We spend roughly 10x as much time reading code as we do writing it. A tool or technique that makes you twice as "productive" at writing code *at best* makes you 5% more productive over all. Making your code easier to understand will have 10x the impact. But that doesn't sell tools or put developers out of work, so you won't be reading about it in Forbes.

Loksins komst ég í Stapaskóla. Mjög aðlaðandi bygging og spennandi starf.

Samofinn leikskóli og grunnskóli, og áhersla lögð á leik. Í fyrsta og öðrum bekk er leikurinn nýttur, og reynt að draga þætti úr leikskólanum „upp“ í yngsta stigið, en engu er ýtt „niður“ á móti.

Enda lærum við best í leik.
