One whiff of student loan forgiveness being mentioned and they rush to protect their capital. This is financial protection for Dartmouth dressed up as some sort of benefit to students.
My problem is that a) the lignin will decay into C02 (what is the time frame on this? if its hundreds of years then maybe there is some merit here) but b) this implies that if a paper mill wanted to claim to be "carbon negative" they could simply build a warehouse and store lignin for a while before burning it. Furthermore, it implies that if I wanted to claim to be 1 million kgs carbon negative I can simply make a threat of starting a forest fire. If I then DON'T burn the forest I now can say I personally removed 1 million kgs of C02 from the atmosphere.
3. Carbon in lignon road is released as it decays over time.
This is exactly my point (the after 3 years if it decomposed you are just time shifting) which is why I asked how long the roads take to decompose and what they translate into. Sooner or later that lignon in the road will become C02. But is that in 10 years? 100? If its time shifting it only by 15 years or so then its NOT reducing the total carbon to the atmosphere, just temporarily storing it. No different than putting the lignin in a warehouse for 15 years before burning it. So to call that carbon negative is just... bad math at best.
How are you saying this is carbon negative? Don't get me wrong the process is impressive and very cool, but the marketing around it just feels scammy.
-5kg of carbon per m2? How? The lignin based binder absorbs more carbon from the air after it is placed into the road? I may be misreading but it seems like these numbers are based on the amount of carbon in the lignin itself (i.e. since it isn't burned which would be positive, you can count it as negative as it is not burned)
If I am wrong on this, please correct me. But it sure sounds like a lot of conveniently vague statements to make for nice sounding numbers. This would be a shame as even without misleading claims of CO2 reduction, the benefit of removing oil from the process and replacing it with a renewable source is clear and should stand for itself.
If the binder does indeed absorb C02 over time what is the rate? What effect does it have on the binders stability? Or if its used in its manufacturing how are you sourcing the CO2? What is the breakdown timeframe for the binder releasing any sequestered carbon back into the atmosphere?
Asked about this before. I was told no one cared since the real work is done in C and would not benefit from pypy. So the python level optimizations would not affect much.
64ms? Without any context or reasoning? Wrong all ui should load in 100ns and anyone who disagrees is an idiot.
Are all laptops not alternatives to MacBook pro? If you mean is it comparable spec wise then more or less.
Don't have the proof but I am 25 and can assure you about 50% of women on tinder in my area talk about it or post their sign
The internet is obsessed with astrology. Comparatively this is pretty alright.
Yeah not sure what the problem is. Google "download java" and this is the first link.
If you want to start small and take on a website or mobile app look at gigster
Very interested in this, however I would prefer if it was more than just a jobs board. Something like github+reddit in addition to a jobs board would make this very cool (haven't tried it yet so this may already be the case and I am wrong!).
But, you can? If you open the mail app and choose add account pop3/imap is an option. What is this guy smoking?
My company still actively uses it in production and development
So... knockout?
Right??? I was very confused how this was considered a bug considering every other device in the world works this way.
This is nonsense. Google does not make such an app and would never as apps do not have the ability to protect from malware, nor should they as that would be giving them the permissions to actually become malware!
10 McDonald's workers can't fix your teeth. 10 dentists can be equally as good at making hamburgers. They also invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into education. So yes they deserve to make significantly more money.
Yes, the animation of two aliens playing volleyball with the moon is scientifically inaccurate because the moon rotates out of sync with Earth.
