Took me a little bit this is the article that's being referenced. It's late so I'll look at this tomorrow. First impression is 2.6uW/cm2 is surprisingly high given that a human body doesn't produce that much energy at rest.
So by that logic Aaron is relatively obscure right? Must be surprising to see his name on a Lemmy thread with so many upvotes. 2 or 3 references lol sure. I'm sure you haven't also seen one of the 2 or 3 documentaries on his life either.
Hot take is I don't think anyone should care about Aaron Swartz. He didn't do anything for Reddit in the merger and left without doing anything for Reddit so who cares. He then died being a martyr for a cause barely anyone cares about and his death didn't inspire any change to education publication/copyright. Nobody should care.
Edit: you can downvote me all you want but I would like someone to comment on 1 thing Aaron contributed to Reddit. Why should anyone remember his name other than 'but he killed himself for the cause bro'.
This is a red herring but you know that grass fed cows don't produce as much methane right? You know there is a considerable amount of energy used to maintain the cow right? This is energy that would be used almost regardless if we are to increase consumption of grains rather than cows which is the problem. We are going to get fatter as a civilization if we start eating less meat.
Yes, only a handful of people truly care.
