Funnily enough the biggest offender of Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) metric in my daily life is google search with its "people also search for" feature that causes me to constantly misclick.

But again, doing regular bailouts is not necessarily tipping the scales in the anti-environmentally friendly direction. They can be neutral. They are neutral if they did not change the behaviour in relative flight usage comparatively to before the pandemic.
Using this reasoning for example will make flight subsidies anti-environmentally friendly and not neutral (if you also do not subsidies other modes of transportation).
Obviously this is hard to judge, but the article (from what I can tell) does not study that, so I wrote "a little misleading".
I partially agree. If your subsidies are helping parts of the agriculture that are more polluting than the industry average, then you are increasing the environmental pollution.
But this does not apply to my argument for 2 reasons: 1. I am talking about bailouts. They rather don't influence the long-term prices of flights. They are one time thing, intended to help some companies not die. 2. Even the agriculture subsidies you mention I would not call "fossil fuel commitments", which is misleading. Better name for them is something like "subsidies that encourage pollution" or "subsidies that encourage increase CO2 emissions".
Getting into the article, I expected something more direct, like for example if they passed car gas subsidies.

You could have said:
"Punishing supply would not do much without decreasing demand, it will just redistribute the profits. Moreover, the profits might go to less morally sound places."

But the way they went about this is disappointing.
There should be a way to solve this that would still allow countries to compete in attracting businesses. They talk as if they want everybody to settle for mediocrity.
> Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen has warned that a global “race to the bottom” has been eating away at government revenues.
This literally sounds like something a cartel would say.
btw for looking through photos I find gallery view to be more convenient.
Asking because I am not sure if Facebook should be making the shots here on what is legal or illegal to advertise. This is best handled through government.
> Judge Carter ordered the city to place $1 billion in escrow; ordered the cessation of all sales or transfers of public lands;
Does the judge have the power to order such things?
These are welcome news. Seems like a small company in short amount of time was able to develop and validate carbon removal. Stripe's commitment helped them do this, which is great. I wish them further successes in making the process cheaper and faster.
Tourism can decrease housing supply, making is less affordable for long-term tenants. At the same time it can also increases city and local business revenues. This is a tradeoff that cities should consider and decide where they want to stand.
Of course if you have unbounded house construction policy, than tourism would not effect long-term housing prices much (Though it can impact price distribution in terms of location). But such policy might be impossible in historical city centers such as Paris where buildings have historical value, and are probably one of the reasons for tourism in the first place.
On the other hand, short-term housing, especially through things like Airbnb, can often be offered by people who just have a spare room and who otherwise would not bother renting it out. Allocating this type of housing to tourists might not hurt the housing market by a lot. (Though I do wonder what percentage of Airbnbs actually have such a situation)
The problem here is not that people think that MobileCoin is not a useful technology or is not innovative. From what you are describing it actually seems like a good combination of features that are particularly suited for the messaging use-case.
The problem is in the way the coins were pre-mined. It seems (we don't really know from the outside) that the knowledge that Signal would be using MobileCoin has been known early on. With that knowledge it is very easy to make money by pre-mining coins. The proper analogy here is insider trading. It is immoral and that is why people are calling this a scam.
