Haber-Bosch may be disrupting billions year old nitrogen cycle, which would qualify as 'hinge' for earth history.

3) Ocean Afforestation via macro-algae forests covering 9% of the world’s ocean surface can produce sufficient biomethane to replace all of today’s needs in fossil fuel energy, while removing 53 billion tons of CO2 per year from the atmosphere, restoring pre-industrial levels. This amount of biomass could also increase sustainable fish production to potentially provide 200 kg/yr/person for 10 billion people. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/259892834_Negative_...

Offsetting current carbon emissions would require some 50 trillion trees. An alternative offset would be to cultivate kelp forests. Kelp can grow at 2 feet per day, 30 times faster than terrestrial plants. Planting kelp across 9% of the oceans (4.5 x the area of Australia) could provide the same offset. Additionally, the kelp would support a fish harvest of 2 megatons per year and reduce ocean acidification. Large scale open ocean forestry would require engineered substrate and added nutrients.

pm if u wanna see alt tool to navigate text, sync syllables, also able to output plaintext (turn captions ON) thx

hi i'm working some w/ Christos in fort collins, finding way for NDN in consumer product, email me please! :)

If Kryder's Law holds, then by 2030 local hard drives will store petabytes (4x library of congress or 500 mp4 years). 32 terabyte thumb drives will cost $10. Routes around ISP's will be plentiful. How can copyright survive?

Is Kryder's Law also dead? (2x memory every 13 months) If not, we could plan for petabyte local memory by 2030 and exabytes 2040s.

> Bitcoin mining will consume all the world’s electricity by February 2020

TFA infers by Feb 2021 PoW will double total human electricity use. 38 months from now. By early 2024, we can burn 1,000x more. In 9 years we can burn 1,000,000 more joules per second than we do today. Hot. The idea is to make our world a more safe and secure place to store value?

If PoW energy use grows 10x year over year, in 9 years by 2026 PoW will burn a billion times more energy than today. More than all countries combined, right? By what year will PoW double global electricity use?

Save all the most meaningful data local. Route interest packets to communicate messages. Like the Endless Computer. Transport data over anything that moves. Checksum validate signed data. Trust. Named Data Networking.

Is cjdns more of same address-centric hosting? If y, would not NDN content-addressing be the more smarter internet fix?

IF 'SanDisk made a 4 GB microSD card on July 2006, at first costing $99 (USD)' [1] and in 2017 'SanDisk crams 400GB into a microSD card' (costing $250 USD) THEN

In 2028, maybe a 40TB microSD might cost $300? (@10 years of mp4?) And by 2040, 4 PB petabytes? (@1000 years of mp4?) Who's gonna have time to watch all that?

So much local client memory is coming. With less network dependency in more local storage, will our apps process memories faster?

If Named Data then no need to trust the server, because trust the data. The data is signed. Signed data is trusted and doesn't care what path it takes to go where it's wanted.

Any bashing on Named Data Networking? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_data_networking

Rather than the system getting less reliable exponentially as it scales up, it gets more reliable exponentially as it scales up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqGEMQveoqg&t=1667

Integrity and trust are properties of the data; not of the way that you obtain ​it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqGEMQveoqg&t=3006

There's no routing. You get rid of all of the routing chatter. You get rid of all of the routing brittleness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLGzGK4c-ws&t=5071

We wanted to turn around the incentive structure where right now senders have a lot of power and receivers have basically nothing, they have to eat what they're fed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yth7O6yeZRE&t=23890

anyone know of an open TTS speech synthesis engine that provides delay (duration) timings per word spoken? thanks

For talking heads speaking clearly in English, YouTube speech recognition is improving noticably.

Youtube speech recognition is getting quite good, at least for talking heads in English. Are there additional top tier API's other than the IBM?

great link thanks! it's like the McGurk Effect https://youtu.be/G-lN8vWm3m0, and why I time Vocal Text to appear just before you hear it https://youtu.be/b-jrV7LyN7E

Anyone else try drag/drop BPG? Didn't work for me. GIF thrives despite flaws because works everywhere, easy to use, remix, and above all: easy to share.

Spelling English is a pain. Can modern text reduce this pain? How can you see the sound in text?

Written and spoken English can sync CAPS in sylLABles while vocaliIZED. http://th.ai youtube CCaptions=ON, text=monospace, see syllables precisely while you hear them, playback SLOW.

In theory, constant experience of SYNCHronous vocALized TEXT will help you spell better faster.

Dee Hock wanted to extend ownership, defined as 'nontransferable right of participation', to merchants and cardholders, but that was too much for the mental models in 1970, and even challenges our mental models today: VISA's cooperative/competitive ownership structure lasted until 2007, when it devolved into traditional shareholder ownership via IPO.

BETA: let page load, then click image once or twice for audio sync; safari/ipad might not sync; smart phones tend to sync perfectly.

problem: GIF is dumb, no audio/vocal sync; click normal GIF, nothing happens; is GIF stuck with eternal async audio FAIL?

solution is onclick, do 2 things: 1) play audio from 0:00 and 2) restart GIF from frame 01; should we debug ipad, etc? then embed MP3/code for easy share audio sync GIF?

opportunity: extend popular convention of easy remix easy share GIF visual loops to include useful audio/vocals in perfect sync; do it in platform independent defacto fair use.

cool: GIF lets you manipulate individual frame timings, so you can precisely sync vocal text syllables; http://ggif.co/14ow for example varies image frame rates from .03s to .11s; so brains experience and synergize image/vocals/text in more perfect sync.

WHY? GIF is old, fat, slow, fugly. Why bother? Because 'easy to share'. Drag/drop copypasta. Voila! GIF survives and thrives because no UI = PERFECT UI. Easy use, remix, share.

TL&DR: if GIF sync audio, then what?

Myth: Facebook is always listening using your microphone.

Fact: Nope, if you choose to turn this feature on, it will only use your microphone (for 15 seconds) when you're actually writing a status update to try and match music and TV.
