Passive Building, Carbon and Climate
The Climate Trust is a non-profit carbon management firm that has managed over $20 million in carbon funding for projects in ten sectors across nine states and two countries. It aims to accelerate innovative climate solutions by providing expertise, financing, and inspiration. To meet the goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees C, global emissions need to be capped at 1,000 gigatons by 2100; however, half of that carbon budget has already been emitted by 2011. Aggressively implementing building codes and standards that meet 2030 efficiency targets can dramatically reduce emissions and transform the building sector into a solution for climate change.

Clean coal and the environment
Coal is a cheap source of fuel for electrical generation that can be used cleanly using the latest clean coal technology.
Op-Ed Piece on Climate Change
New discoveries have cleared a path to stopping climate change. Energy researchers now know of technologies that could expand energy abundance while reducing carbon release, such as a system that extracts carbon from fossil fuel plant exhaust using a non-thermal plasma field. This breakthrough technology uses only 5% of the plant's power to drive the carbon extraction process. If retrofitted globally, it could give the world a chance to reduce carbon release while still using coal in places like India and China. The future of energy is bright, and carbon can be reduced using these technologies to halt climate change and benefit future generations.
L3 futures
The document discusses challenges in meeting future global energy demands due to rising populations and economic development. It notes that world energy needs are projected to increase by 55% by 2030 and investments of $22 trillion will be needed for new infrastructure. Two approaches proposed to address this are implementing "carrot and stick" policies like emissions controls and green taxes, and developing new sustainable technologies for energy production.

Circular Economy, Cascade Use and Efficiency as Pillars of a Factor Five WorldErnst Ulrich von Weizsäcker
1) The document discusses transitioning to a circular economy and factor 5 increases in resource productivity as pillars of sustainable development.
2) It provides examples of technologies and policies that can lead to factor 5-10 increases in efficiency for materials, energy, water, and transport.
3) The author argues for gradually increasing resource prices to incentivize further efficiency gains and recycling, coupled with tax revenues to fund the transition to a green economy.Fuel-Cell-Challenges-GMability
Fuel cell technology has benefits for space exploration and holds promise to power vehicles, homes, and buildings more efficiently while reducing environmental impacts. However, for widespread practical use of fuel cells, important challenges around hydrocarbon fuel reforming, storage, cost, and developing infrastructure must be addressed. Hydrocarbon fuel reforming during a transition period could allow continued use of existing fuel sources while adapting to hydrogen. Storage technologies must match gasoline tanks' capacity and ease of refueling. Cost remains too high for commercial vehicles and facilities due to expensive catalysts and membranes in fuel cells. Developing hydrogen infrastructure is the greatest challenge to commercializing fuel cells.
Jump into Renewable energy industry in China
The document discusses opportunities in China's renewable energy industry. It outlines the Chinese government's targets to increase renewable energy production and reduce fossil fuel use. Several renewable technologies are highlighted, including biomass, wind, solar and hydro power.

How will resource scarcity impact industry in Brsitol
Resource scarcity will have a significant impact on Bristol's industry. Manufacturers will face process disruptions and unexpected cost increases due to scarcity. Recycling, substitution of materials, and reducing material use through dematerialization are strategies that can help reduce the impact of scarcity on industry. However, these strategies take time to implement and are not always available or effective. Bristol's industries may be vulnerable if they do not adequately consider and plan for the effects of increasing resource scarcity. Strategic planning and cooperation across industries will be important to help Bristol adapt.

Benjamin Sovacool "The Nordic Low-Carbon Transition: Implications and Insights for Researchers and Practitioners" Keynote Energy Cultures Conference 2016DOE_Slides5
This document discusses potential geoengineering options to address long-term climate change given that greenhouse gas emission reductions are not expected to occur quickly enough. It proposes increasing the reflectivity of the Earth's surface, known as albedo enhancement, by making surfaces whiter to reflect more sunlight back to space. This could help offset warming from greenhouse gases and buy more time for emission reduction technologies to develop. The document also discusses other geoengineering ideas but identifies issues with feasibility or unintended consequences.
Role of clean energy in climate change
The document discusses the role of clean energy, specifically nuclear power and energy storage, in addressing climate change and transitioning away from fossil fuels. It argues that nuclear power can play a major role in minimizing climate change by producing little to no greenhouse gas emissions over its lifecycle. Energy storage is also seen as important for integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar into the electric grid and enabling the transition off fossil fuels, as renewables have variable output that storage could help balance. The document examines both the technical and economic impacts of energy storage and variable renewables on the grid and their potential to replace fossil fuels as costs decline and reliability increases over time.

Os Timed Original
The document discusses the history of copyright and its impact on creativity and innovation. It notes that in 1774, the Donaldson v. Beckett case established the idea of a "free culture" by limiting copyright to a defined term, but that over time copyright duration has been continually extended to the point where it is now "life plus 70 years." The document argues that current copyright and technology laws have greatly restricted creativity and innovation by over-regulating uses and making every act a potential copyright infringement. It advocates for more transparent and freely shared creative works through open licensing models.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
