Today there was an international disruption of
LockBit including law enforcement taking over the onion address and replacing it with a summary of research and enforcement actions.
What time horizon are we solving for? I recall a case study (apologies I do not have the reference) in business school that if everyone cycled as suggested in the article - life expectancy would increase significantly for the population leading to more carbon emissions in the long run.

They key metric here is how much it costs ($/TON of CO2 Captured and Sequestered). There are a range of methods and approaches to do this. The average cost for Air Capture across modern approaches is $250/Ton of C02 Captured and Sequestered.
There are other approaches besides Atmospheric Capture and Sequestration which hold more promise
1. High concentration C02 Emission Capture at source
2. Ocean surface capture and de-acidification
I expect this will follow a similar journey to how solar panel adoption went... once things tipped over the critical ($/KWH) where it made sense over grid electrical, people started to adopt. I imagine once one of the techniques reaches a critical $/TON Captured & Sequestered, governments or institutions will pay to build whatever machines to start. Right now things are too expensive using any method (i.e. using the best method, it would cost ~$12 Trillion dollars to capture and sequester ~49 Gigatons - the estimated carbon emitted in 1 year by humans in 2020)
Many Many Moons ago I implemented an OS version of this for windows. It was taken over a few years back and is released as KnockKnock. https://sourceforge.net/projects/knockknock/
Grocery store 1: No credit option, must have a positive balance on my EBT card.
Grocery store 2 (P&L Deli Grocery) flexible credit option, able to take a loan out while waiting for EBT card to get replenished.
As a customer, which one of these two offerings is better?
#2 is clearly a better grocery store. It is a grocery + lender for those on EBT cards!
The EBT system (and, likely every other credit card / merchant processor) bans informal credit because there is no basis of control or audit-ability on these kinds of transactions.
