In addition, it would then increase the market prices, which in turn helps incentive lower emissions or greener cheaper alternatives

Exon could buy offset on behalf of their customer's expected emissions. (which I guess would indirectly increase the cost for their customers) .
or they could give discounts to their customers that show they have reduced their emissions through various initiatives , eg buying cleaner buses

I have a tangentially related problem I have been battling with that you may be able to help me with. I'm moving overseas (Australia to Denmark) and would like to keep my current mobile phone number working for calls and SMS , but use it from afar. I would be able to leave a raspberry pi at a friend's house. Can you use this setup without a SIP provider? Would you need to buy a modem for the raspberry pi?what would you do?

Interesting. By this, do you mean select '2020-01-01' :: date; is slow, but select '2020-01-01' ::pg_catalog.date; is fast?
If so, that is very surprising. Any ideas why that is slow?
Ask HN: Which line of code you have written will be executed the most?
The other day I was trying to determine which line of code I have written will get run the most?I think for me it would be a for loop in a cron job I run on work's servers - not very exciting! I am sure HN has many more interesting examples.maybe you have written code:- deep in an OS that handles memory management?- that is deeply distributed?- that is in every JS lib? ~~cough cough left pad...
