Comment Re:I hope Salesforce is on the antimonopoly list (Score 1) 122

The whole Salesforce ecosystem is so bad I have a hard time believing it exists. And they keep ladling more shit onto it.

How is an IRC knockoff worth nearly $30B I have no idea. How is it materially better than the other 3 systems that SF uses to chat.

SF must have a really good sales team to keep peddling their system.

âoeAt some point we're probably going to have to get better at indoor farming regardless,âoe

Why do you maintain that? Land is hardly at a shortage for most agricultural countries. Singapore has different constraints but itâ(TM)s not the general rule.

Even with a warming climate, I expect farming will simply move north ( to Canada or Siberia)

Facebook already has several data centers in Europe. Itâ(TM)s unclear from TFA why those arenâ(TM)t sufficient to be compliant, but it could be because EU friend circles and US friend circles overlap, meaning that itâ(TM)s technically difficult to segregate those users by political boundary.

"I mean, the seasonal flu has killed almost as many people in the U.S. in 2020 as this disease has killed worldwide."

The explanation I saw was that this is a psychological effect, a desire to take some proactive affirmative action, regardless of it's actual utility.

"We would not be isolated to Antarctica in this case. We'd turn deserts into croplands."

I've wondered this before and not seen a good answer. Besides 500+ feet of sea level rise flooding coastal zones, would a return to the Cretaceous period through increases in C02 in our atmosphere be actually good for the human animal?

It seems like it was a period of global fertility and growth. Would desertification be more widespread especially on the equator, or would warmer temps evaporate ocean waters and create enough humidity to combat it?
