I'm in New Zealand and trees grow here like weeds. A hectare of pine trees reaches maturity in 25 years and holds 200 odd tons of carbon. Once mature, those trees can be harvested and the carbon locked away in furniture, buildings, etc. As far as I know, it doesn't matter where on the planet the carbon is being sequestered, so a global view will likely be more effective.

Article says 2000 Volts. Very lethal.
Same!

So far, it seems to me that persona is an incredibly useful technology in our space (Enterprise SAAS apps). Our space is populated by lots of apps that have various shitty login systems, but one thing they pretty much all have in common is an email address - and Persona seems to be a killer SSO system for securely leveraging/livening up these existing databases of email addresses.

Unless I'm missing the point, I don't see much alternative either. Just looking at the traffic from the Persona communit reinforces to me that I never want to be building my own authentication system - even if persona were to die as a project I would be better off cloning it than writing my own (or giving in and using social login, which is pretty undesirable in the enterprise world).
