It's common for open source libraries that use split licencing. By assigning copywrite ownership to the project, they are able to licence your contribution however they like. Without a CLA, any licence change, sub-licencing or commercial terms would need to be negotated with every individual that has contributed code to the project

A 2hr 16min video is not particularly ADHD friendly

Well I'll give it a shot across my runs next week. Thanks for the recommendation

Yeah I was diagnosed with ADHD this year and this read like a very clear summary of my symptoms, how I feel about those symptoms and various strategies I've tried.

The point about the "new todo-app effect" is very real, and so I have now accepted that no productivity system will work long term and instead try to enjoy switching to new systems every few months

Yeah this makes it not viable from a pure sequestration point of view, but building your house from timber is still better on emissions than concrete etc

This is the most prominent olivine sequestration project I've found: https://projectvesta.org

Stripe (and others) are currently purchasing negative emissions from a bunch of projects like this to help move them down the cost curve: https://stripe.com/blog/first-negative-emissions-purchases

There's lots of cool work in this space at the moment, which is much more measureable than "trees not cut down"

You are both entirely right.

It's hard to judge their writing without seeing their resume and/or cover letter

But they did not buy the macbook with the Apple Card.

Apple made a mistake with the credit process and decided to reclaim the credit by applying it as a balance on the card without notification and then sent a strange email referencing the wrong product with a dead reply-to email address

Avoiding contentious terms is not the same thing as avoiding contentious topics. The blog clearly says he's keen to talk about these things, but tries to do so in a way that doesn't drag in a bunch of baggage that makes it less likely that the people you're communicating with will listen to your point.

Yeah, my experience is similar to deanCommie's.

Annoyingly the definition is correct to the established meaning (in the dictionary), no redefining necessary. But surely just a trial run in the real world would tell you that it doesn't communicate well, given it's common connotation.

It's context dependent, but I do like the difficulty setting analogy. Like the pact of punishment in Hades, except you don't get extra rewards.

In one abstract example there'll be a discussion of why x group are so sensitve about y. Instead of saying "check your privilege" I say something like "maybe their tired of having to worry about z? When was the last time you had to think about z on a day to day basis?", asking genuinely and waiting for response, not just asked rhetorically.

There's one term I always avoid in discussion, and that's Privilege.

Beyond the dictionary definition, privilege already had widely used emotional connotations that made it an insult to call someone privileged. Which means when you try to talk to people about their White Privilege or Male Privilege, you're alreday starting with a penalty and need to assure them that you're not trying to insult them.

Much easier to have a discussion about the concepts encoded in the terms when you don't use them. I find most people find them quite intuitive and it helps create some empathy, which is usually the point of the exercise
