Usually, Pigouvian taxes like the one OP was proposing are calculated to cover the complete externalized costs of the item being taxed. So in this case, it would include the costs of adjusting to climate change. This would make alternatives relatively cheaper, as well as raising revenue to support research and construction of new energy infrastructure, as well as point addressing of specific projects identified to reduce the impacts of climate change. Of course, this is all if you believe that the current political climate (not only in the US, but in large middle income economies as well) can support such taxes. And then you have to decide what the tax should be! Ultimately, cap and trade turn out to be far easier.
Because Congress' intentions are taken into account only after the actual text, and most of the time not at all (or they would have written their intentions clearly within the enforceable provisions.)
Do they not?
UNOOSA, Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, Art. IX [1]:
"States Parties to the Treaty shall pursue
studies of outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, and conduct
exploration of them so as to avoid their harmful contamination..."
Note that State parties are responsible for the actions of their nationals later in the paragraph.
Is the above wrong? I admit to not being a space person.
Edit: [1] http://www.unoosa.org/pdf/publications/STSPACE11E.pdf
Need an FAA license to launch, the US is signatory to various space treaties, etc.
I know that GSuite would like to differentiate its enterprise products by features, but allowing basic/business plans to force U2F would be great. Since it's also available in GCP's Cloud Identity product (which is free), I hope this is coming down the road.
Apache Beam, gRPC/protobuf, Kubernetes. There are examples besides Tensorflow.
Click of a button certs with automated renewal is coming.
Need something with a TPM, like an Onhub/Google Wifi.
AWS probably also uses Equinix facilities in many regions.
Circumstantial evidence points to a strong Equinix partnership.

When are we going to hear about further contextual auth capabilities coming to IAP? It's awesome.
London and Northern Virginia have also launched recently.
Well, partial at least. Appengine since 2010, cloudsql for a couple of years, and load balancers for the last few months.
If you use GCP, you're using this system.
This is what protected Brian Krebs pro bono after traffic grew too big for Akamai.
Great talk about it at Enigma earlier this year: https://youtu.be/ifp8l2yx7JA
Chrome used differential privacy far before Apple. See the RAPPOR paper.
There's a long tradition there, wasn't BO2K non-ironically marketed as a system admin tool?
I routinely click through the google and gcp orgs, and I hadn't seen quite a few of these, a couple of which I'd really like to use. Congrats!
Concern about code quality is legitimate, and vulns discovered is one metric for that, but I worry that hopping to the unreviewed (and therefore lacking vuln disclosures) app is even worse. But I don't use lastpass.

Part of the announcement was that additional contextual auth capabilities would be added.
Many people who find bugs for a living would argue the opposite.
