"There's no machine known that is more efficient than a human on a bicycle. Bowl of oatmeal, thirty miles. You can't come close to that."
—Not surprising that Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has known about the efficiency of the bicycle for a long time.
"Four years ago, a UN report identified the need to decrease carbon emissions by 7% a year until 2030 to avoid the worst impacts of climate breakdown. They are still rising, and the need now is for an annual reduction of at least 10%."

fun fact:
>>> from amaranth import *
>>> meow = Signal()
>>> <a href="http://meow.name" rel="ugc">meow.name</a>
'meow'this isn’t supposed to be possible. it isn’t possible.
but it works anyway.
because amaranth walks through the backtrace, finds the function in which you’re creating the Signal, disassembles its Python bytecode, and finds the right variable to read out its name
i’m not sure if i should be impressed or horrified 
actually, i like it when computers beep at me. and when they make little noises in response to UI interactions. that way you know they're actually listening to you and haven't gotten ideas of rebellion
anyways mac os 9 is so based for letting me stim with the window shade button

We hear of people solving burnout by changing careers streams, quitting jobs, etc.
What isn't discussed enough is the number of people who "solve" #burnout by simply doing their best every day to bury it and just keep on keeping on with the hope they'll keep it just sufficiently out of reach long enough that they'll get to regular retirement.
I swear half the people I know in tech are just perpetually pushing burnout out just far enough to get through the next week, then the next, then the next, until they retire.
And I guarantee this isn't just a feature of tech.
So many people have worked on curbing climate change.
What have we got to show for it?
For starters: The projected warning has decreased by 0.9C. That's considering only actually implemented policies. Pledged emissions cuts go even deeper.
Is it enough?
No.
But we've gone from "It's all going to hell" to "We made good progress let's keep going, and faster."

Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
And fewer competitors means higher prices for you.

Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover is now the worst buyout for banks since the 2008 Financial Crisis
