And how exactly did you hack the 'depression mechanism?'

If UX was fully objectively measured, wouldn't Gitlab, Github, and Bitbucket all look and feel the same?

If performance was objectively measured, wouldn't BMW, Mercedes, and Corvettes all perform the same?

Yes, performance can be objectively measured but different companies choose different metrics to optimize. The choice stems from subjective preferences. Hyundai optimizes for price and caters to the middle class, whereas Bugatti optimizes for speed and caters to whatever their market is. So subjectivity is inherent in the metrics we choose.

... and you have your answer to the prior question.

Derailing the intent of your parent comment and then taking the higher ground...good job bud

An objective measure of metrics does not necessarily imply there is a single optimal solution.

Try using scihub

What's your idea?

If you are looking for alternatives to Evernote, I'd also recommend Notion.so

I'm not affiliated with the company, just an avid user.

+1. Notion is incredible.

As is Authorea! I can't wait to try it out when I get home.

+2. I love Notion and converted my whole team to it.

Third world countries don't have the liberty to make choices based on their perceived good-ness - they can't choose renewable energy sources based purely on the fact that they are better for the environment. They kinda sorta had to go down that road of fossil fuels because economics is crucial. I think that if there were a breakthrough that made renewables vastly cheaper than coal, India would be the first country to adopt the new tech.

So I see that alternative energy sources are talked about a lot when discussing climate change. Why isn't there just as much R&D and discussion going on about the other half of the equation - reversing climate change or reducing the amount of CO2 already in the atmosphere or making megacities smog-free?

We already know a lot about making megacities smog-free. That's why London and Los Angeles had absolutely dreadful air in the mid-20th century but it's much better now. As for why Delhi hasn't followed the example of richer cities in cleaning up the air, I'd say it is mostly due to lack of funds for infrastructure and enforcement.

There is also research about reducing the amount of CO2 already in the atmosphere. Here's one of my recent favorite papers: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/assets/imported/transforms/cont...

The reason that emissions-free energy sources get discussed more than carbon dioxide reduction from the atmosphere is that reducing emissions appears to be significantly less expensive and more scaleable for dealing with the bulk of the problem. Once you bolt on the extras necessary to make coal plants low-CO2, the electricity costs more than if you'd just eliminated coal altogether, so there's no point to it. For an example, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemper_Project

Which places specifically?

That was like a decade ago, I wouldn't remember now.

I recommend asking Reddit for answers. /r/climatechange seems like a fairly sensible community.
