Nerds will save the world
Only if Nerds manage to reverse population growth.
Since 1970, when the Environmental Protection Agency was established, the United States has slashed its emissions of five air pollutants by almost two-thirds. Over the same period, the population grew by more than 40 percent, and those people drove twice as many miles and became two and a half times richer. Energy use has leveled off, and even carbon dioxide emissions have turned a corner."
How much pollution and CO2 emissions have been exported during this same period via globalization?
It's a valid concern, but only applies to about 30% of that particular neighborhood - there's another 40% that just doesn't care enough to give up an evening of watching tube.
Reduce the HOA powers as quickly as feasible, reduce the HOA activities to the bare minimum required to maintain common areas.
I was in an HOA neighborhood for 10 years, the first 7 were cool - the last 3 were a living hell as busybodies took over the board and started spending the dues on enforcement activities that generated fines to pay for pet projects. I've been gone for 5 years now and I understand that the place is still bouncing in and out of HOA hell: calling in the sheriff to oversee vote counts, etc. And, all the while, only about 30% of the neighborhood even gets involved in the proceedings - they're 90% upset about the results, but can't be bothered to show up at 7pm on a Tuesday to try to straighten out what "will of the majority" actually means.
If, by more advanced, you mean more tightly packed into shithole cities and highly exposed to all kinds of microbial agents - with global air-travel we might just have the upper hand on "advanced" aliens who have transcended the desire to overpopulate.
I forget if it was Douglas Adams or who talking about WWII being a cultural drama for aliens, with a climax of two thermonuclear detonations...
Now, the question for me is: as an owner of one of these cars, what would it cost to license the spare parts database so I can have a printing company of my choice make and finish the parts to my specifications?
I know, comparing languages to libraries, but have you ever interacted with the ffmpeg/libav developers? I did a little in the 2010-2013 timeframe, they were a challenging lot to deal with.
A lot of the technical shortcomings of Rust might be overlooked based on your opening statement: "Rust is a relatively new programming language." - but, with an exclusive (in a bad way) community behind it, I don't think it will be going far - languages are not like comprehensive video conversion libraries, there are too many to choose from to bother with joining an exclusive club.
Dude, the accountants and auditors in this case are going to cost tens of thousands of dollars - it will run over into the hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, especially with all the press handling.
And they may be saying the exact same thing about us, but in ways we're not likely to understand for a long long time.
That does not imply that I get to have a monopoly and free money forever!
You have obviously never witnessed a copyright extension debate with Mickey Mouse. Spoiler alert: Mickey always wins.
Business models which have successfully channeled hundreds of millions of dollars in the past will do whatever they can to postpone the inevitable, extend the ROI.
Giving up early would be disrespecting their investors.
I think you mean social strafe - that's where all the jobless protesters march on D.C. and they're mowed down by the Air Force.
640K is all you'll ever need.
Clearly, Gates is a futurist of the first order.
