Would anyone be up for an Google Internal xprize for carbon reduction by gcu reduction? I'd put some dollars to that if the results were, say 2x the gain of buying LED bulbs or cow methane.

Anyone know what the mapping is from gcu->tonnes of carbon?

Mostly I just want to see the end of useless computation...

Finally got around to buying more carbon offsets after many years and was happy to see Google offers access to their program:

https://sites.google.com/a/google.com/googlercarbonoffsets/home

However I'm likely switching to Terrapass in the future since they also can offset your water usage, and oddly enough their offsets cost half of what we price internally. Also auto-pay, so I won't slack off like I did before.

Oh and fwiw I've went from 12 tons to 5 tons estimated yearly usage.

Here's a 30 day challenge.

Only consume Youtube and Play Music content in a language you barely know.

This is how much of the world interacts with our products.

All of a sudden you understand why lyric videos are so popular on Youtube. It also explains weird comments on G+ from people that are just playing around with English.

I've been doing something like that for a few days. It's eye opening.

Oh and if you're interested in music discovery from Suisse Romande see the link below.

So maybe it's just me, but I've misposted to the wrong target multiple times in the past week. I think it's because I'm used to the send-arrow being right next to the audience.

With Tau the Post button is on the bottom, thus my eye doesn't cross the default audience.

I thought that privacy had a requirement that the send be right next to the post button for exactly this reason.

Installed the OnHub with it's quite large -wallwart- power supply.

The Airport Extreme I replaced had this built-in and had an AC power cord.

I have mixed feelings

- Wall warts are ugly and don't play well with power strips.

but...

- I can probably use a passive PoE injector/splitter to run everything over a single cable.

Anyone tried this? Especially with a teeny splitter that could squeeze into the enclosure?

[And then I just need a power strip with 12v and 5v outputs....]
