Yes, I've seen some brand new ornate/decorative lighting, usually on pedestrian- and bicycle-focused construction projects with grant funding, as it's expensive.

So-called socially-responsible investing has been around at least since the 1970s, when anti-Apartheid mutual funds were launched. It seems like the main change with ESG is that larger firms have adopted the concept, with lower fees/expense ratios.

ACE (Altamont Corridor Express) appears to be missing as well?

I'd be interested to see the data re: "processing imported lumber mostly". Statewide back in 2016, California timber harvest was 1,572 MMBF; wood processing facilities received 1,483 MMBF; 11.5 MMBF flowed into California from other states; 99.7 MMBF flowed out of California for processing out of state or export according to https://www.bber.umt.edu/pubs/forest/fidacs/CA2016%20Fact%20...

note to self, check if site is on hacker news front page before purging stale caches!

In the US it's not uncommon for protesters to have a lawyer, in the form of organizations like the National Lawyers Guild which offer legal support at demonstrations. Protesters typically scrawl the phone number for the NLG legal hotline on their arm, so they are able to call from jail.

I'd be interested to see some benchmarks comparing Linux and FreeBSD power usage. Personally I've been impressed w/ power management on FreeBSD 10 using recent hardware - once I enabled powerd and set the powerd_flags - but I haven't installed Linux on the same hardware.
