Even if you throw out the zero sum logic, you need to make sure decarbonization investments aren’t being used as an excuse to avoid more inconvenient changes that actually reduce emissions.

My understanding has been that carbon capture is extremely expensive for the amount of carbon you can capture, so it’s almost always better to just invest in other carbon reduction projects like electrification. Has that changed?

fair. I use the webapp on desktop

Almost every email is going to or coming from US servers anyway. Better to treat email as insecure and use something else for more secure communication.

For me it was search. The proton apps are the only way to access email on mobile, and on them and on their webapp the search barely functioned, even with full text search downloaded. The only way to reliably search my email was with Proton Mail Bridge on desktop, but for some reason it continuously was using CPU on my laptop and of course didn’t work on mobile. If they made a server version that I could put in a docker container on my server it would probably solve most of my problems with Proton, because then I could access it from the Mail app on my phone over IMAP.

I don’t think that’s really true of driving, pedestrians and cyclists are at a much higher risk of getting killed by a driver than a driver themself. There are huge negative externalities to driving

I love fastmail, I switched from Proton a couple years ago after deciding the trade offs to have encrypted email were not worth it, since even if I fully trust Proton, most emails come from or go to AWS, Outlook, or Gmail anyway. I have been extremely happy with the service. Fairly priced, very fast even with a huge inbox, and they don’t add unnecessary features or bloat. I thought I would use my OS’s mail apps but the fastmail app and website are so good I just use that.

I did the same except switched to fastmail. I love it, it’s such a great service.

Sorry, I meant ridership per capita. In Seattle about 15% of people commute via transit (and I believe it’s the fastest increasing in the country), but LA is 6% and flat.

Seattle’s geography is conducive to transit, because there are many bridges where all traffic is constricted. That means point to point trips by car are often taking a similar route to buses. It also restricted the city’s ability to sprawl (although even suburban Bellevue is above LA at 8%).

The standard of service for nearly every bus line that operates in Seattle is 15 minutes frequency, even on weekends. Many lines operate every 10, and the new G Line that opened last year in fully dedicated bus lanes runs every 6!

Interesting! How long ago was that? Seattle has higher transit ridership than both those cities and is rapidly expanding its transit system. I believe we are still leading the pack in transit ridership growth yoy. Maybe you were here before it got good? I’ve only lived here 5 years.

Depends on the city. In LA, yes it’s very hard to live without a car. I live in Seattle and I live car free as well as many of my friends. It’s not that we can’t afford it, we’ve just built our lives around transit and biking and the city is pretty good for it. Then of course there’s NYC, which is likely better than most European cities for transit. But you’re right that the average here is far far worse when it comes to transit and living car free or car lite.

Even if you split up the bundle you will still need multiple round trips to the server to fetch the data.

I mean the state from the client, like cookies and URL params. You can get access to that in SSR through the framework specific APIs like getServerSideProps in Next, but it’s not a great solution.

Without RSC you have to wait for the user to download the application bundle before the request for content can even be sent to the server. So that means that the db queries and stuff are not even initiated until the client has the bundle and runs it, vs with RSC that stuff is all launched the moment the first request comes in from the user.
