Since 1970, when the Environmental Protection Agency was established, the United States has slashed its emissions of five air pollutants by almost two-thirds. Over the same period, the population grew by more than 40 percent, and those people drove twice as many miles and became two and a half times richer. Energy use has leveled off, and even carbon dioxide emissions have turned a corner."
How much pollution and CO2 emissions have been exported during this same period via globalization?
It's a valid concern, but only applies to about 30% of that particular neighborhood - there's another 40% that just doesn't care enough to give up an evening of watching tube.
Reduce the HOA powers as quickly as feasible, reduce the HOA activities to the bare minimum required to maintain common areas.
I was in an HOA neighborhood for 10 years, the first 7 were cool - the last 3 were a living hell as busybodies took over the board and started spending the dues on enforcement activities that generated fines to pay for pet projects. I've been gone for 5 years now and I understand that the place is still bouncing in and out of HOA hell: calling in the sheriff to oversee vote counts, etc. And, all the while, only about 30% of the neighborhood even gets involved in the proceedings - they're 90% upset about the results, but can't be bothered to show up at 7pm on a Tuesday to try to straighten out what "will of the majority" actually means.
If, by more advanced, you mean more tightly packed into shithole cities and highly exposed to all kinds of microbial agents - with global air-travel we might just have the upper hand on "advanced" aliens who have transcended the desire to overpopulate.
Now, the question for me is: as an owner of one of these cars, what would it cost to license the spare parts database so I can have a printing company of my choice make and finish the parts to my specifications?
I know, comparing languages to libraries, but have you ever interacted with the ffmpeg/libav developers? I did a little in the 2010-2013 timeframe, they were a challenging lot to deal with.
A lot of the technical shortcomings of Rust might be overlooked based on your opening statement: "Rust is a relatively new programming language." - but, with an exclusive (in a bad way) community behind it, I don't think it will be going far - languages are not like comprehensive video conversion libraries, there are too many to choose from to bother with joining an exclusive club.
Dude, the accountants and auditors in this case are going to cost tens of thousands of dollars - it will run over into the hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, especially with all the press handling.
Business models which have successfully channeled hundreds of millions of dollars in the past will do whatever they can to postpone the inevitable, extend the ROI.
Giving up early would be disrespecting their investors.
Isn't textile one of the most recyclable materials in existence?
Even if the old clothes need to be shredded into fibers and re-spun, the recycled material doesn't have to be suitable as dress whites, it can be tent canvas, insulation, upholstery stuffing, etc.
Here in the U.S. "fashion retail" will sell a shirt for ~$50, while the very same shirt will show up a few months later at a thrift shop for ~$4. Some of the "upmarket" clothiers sell shirts (marginally nicer than the retail variety) for $100+ per shirt. At the local mall, I don't think you can even buy a T-shirt for less than $20 anymore. And they wonder why the place is so empty...
Same here. Our projects still have closed bits, but so much more of the infrastructure is open compared to 20 years ago. I can get stuff done faster, and more reliably with "unsupported" open libraries as compared to the "supported" closed equivalents, and when I've had the opportunity to compare the two head to head, the closed ones tend to have more, bigger bugs that take longer to get fixed - precisely because they're closed. We had a bug in an open library, made a patch for it ourselves in a couple of days, and submitted it back to the project.. they chose not to adopt our patch because the whole section of the library was up for replacement in a year or two, they were focusing development on the new architecture - but: we still were able to make our own patch and use it right away. In a closed environment you don't get the opportunity to even try that, and have much less chance of getting the closed developers' time and attention.
No-skill, minimum wage jobs are not, and NEVER WERE intended to be a lifetime "career".
So, when you survey the job market - 5 million unemployed, 4.5 million jobs open, and over half of the unemployed only match skills with minimum wage jobs, even though they have many higher valued skills and education... what's wrong with this picture?
As long ago as 1999, $15/hr was a minimal living wage for "real" adults who pay for their own rent, transportation, insurance and food.
Most jobs contribute far more than $15/hr value to the employer's organization - if they don't, I'm all for finding solutions that make those "worthless" jobs go away and free up people to do something that is worth $15/hr or more.
Arguably, even semi-talented street busking (entertainment) in a reasonably heavy pedestrian traffic area is worth more than $15/hr. And, if everybody is employed at higher paying jobs, everybody who enjoys an entertainer can afford to toss them a buck every couple of days as they walk past.
Then they developed digital photography, patented the technology, and sat on it for fear of disrupting their lucrative film business.
Another way of looking at this is that Kodak was too far ahead of the curve in patenting digital imaging before it was practical for the mass market. When I bought my first Casio digital camera, around 1998 IIRC, it was 320x240 pixels, had terrible low-light capabilities, got massive green streaks if any areas were over-exposed, and I think it was nearly $200 too, even with that toy-like performance. My next camera was a Kodak, and it was a quality 1MP camera that had a flash, optical zoom lens and good usability around the $400 price point, but the tech was moving at incredible speed and Kodak didn't have the manufacturing to keep up - I think they were licensing silicon from others, so they really weren't bringing anything unique to the party - their tech specs tended to lag a little behind the best in the field, and their prices tended to be a little higher, and the writing was just on the wall: people didn't associate the Kodak name with great digital cameras.
Even today, there's not a lot of name recognition in digital photography. Some like Nikon hold on to their reputation for lenses and manage to keep making competitive digital "filmbacks" to go on them, but the mass consumer market, the people that used to buy the bulk of Kodak and Fuji film, they don't really care who makes their camera and most just use the one in their phone now.
To capitalize on digital imaging the way they did the chemical film market would have required investment on an unprecedented scale for Kodak, speculatively ramping up a chip-making business that they knew very little about internally, operationally, historically. Even if they did that, I don't think there are good odds that you'd be paying for Kodak branded digital image sensors in your cell phones - it's a different animal than film, no disposable or per-use aspect to it, and no brand loyalty in today's market.
I'd guess that there were quite a few people near the top of Kodak who knew all of this by the mid-1990s, knew that their days were numbered, and just let the company go down like so many buggy-whip makers before them.

Now, if the network is compromised too...
Nerds will save the world
Only if Nerds manage to reverse population growth.

I forget if it was Douglas Adams or who talking about WWII being a cultural drama for aliens, with a climax of two thermonuclear detonations...

And they may be saying the exact same thing about us, but in ways we're not likely to understand for a long long time.
That does not imply that I get to have a monopoly and free money forever!
You have obviously never witnessed a copyright extension debate with Mickey Mouse. Spoiler alert: Mickey always wins.

I think you mean social strafe - that's where all the jobless protesters march on D.C. and they're mowed down by the Air Force.
640K is all you'll ever need.
Clearly, Gates is a futurist of the first order.
the wealthy completely eradicate the poor
Shhhh... that's not supposed to get out until project Insight goes live.
He was also a virulent racist and anti-semite
Which was perfectly normal, at the time.

The parasites have more free time and resources to manipulate the system/rules/laws to their advantage.

Too late, you're over exposed.
