Very Interested, but what markers are there for me to trust you/your company? Is it Open Source? Have you been around for long? Are you audited? Is there a sustainable business model?
Understanding non-altered History, science communication, one-or-more scientific fields, marketing, and the human mind is much more than almost anyone can hope to achieve.
This means that both bad science and improper understanding of science will continue.
This headline is incorrect for how little is actually measured in this study. It's like staying that rammed earth houses are bad for the environment because they use more dirt that otherwise might be growing plants - so everyone should build with lumber instead.
They invented a new metric called "Carbon Opportunity Cost" and only looked at one thing: some types of organic farming require more land area which might be otherwise left for forest.
There are so many things that go into farming and a true evaluation of "climate" impact. Synthetic chemical production, environmental contamination, soil depletion, shipping, chemical runoff, farming equipment production and emissions, etc...
Even the researcher understands this: "The type of food is often much more important. For example, eating organic beans or organic chicken is much better for the climate than to eat conventionally produced beef"
I'm not a "serverless hater", but every company I've ever worked with had backend processes that were not tied to HTTP requests. I still keep actual servers around because the HTTP gateway is not the pain point. It's long-running processes, message systems, stream processing, and reporting.
That said, I look forward to the company (or side project) where "serverless" can save me from also assuming the "devops" role.
The Chinese "Credit Score" is run by Alibaba and Tencent, which run all the social networks in China and therefore have access to a vast amount of data about people’s social ties and activities and what they say. In addition to measuring your ability to pay, as in the United States, the scores serve as a measure of political compliance. Among the things that will hurt a citizen’s score are posting political opinions without prior permission, or posting information that the regime does not like.
There are plenty more too. Just hope the US doesn't make a government-run social network.
Crowds can't have "wisdom" by nature of the averaging that must occur for binary choices/responses from a crowd.
"Knowledge of the Crowd" is the correct phrase as the storage capacity + experience is greater the larger the crowd.
In other words, you can use a crowd to ask questions that the whole does not need to answer: "Has anyone every done X before?" but you cannot use them to ask questions they all should reply to: "Do you all want to do X?"
Yes, gofmt is a wonderful since so many other languages can have very different way of writing code leading to harder-than-necessary digestion of new libs or projects.
