  • I do. Especially compared to a company like Amazon. Google’s alternatives to Amazon’s are almost always better and has better UI/UX.

    But Amazon knows the market and whatever bs they stitch together ends up being the more popular option.

    What I have in mind are GCP vs AWS, Kindle vs. Play Books, etc














  • I personally am much more optimistic about this. There exists something called “Green Premium” which is the extra price we consumers need to pay right now to reduce our emissions. Being from India, I can’t really afford some of those Green Premium and neither can I blame people around me getting Air Conditioning or improving their living standards by getting a car in such hot and humid conditions.

    My realistic hope is that the Green Premium will come down enough or even be on par with the regular price eventually where it won’t even make economic sense to have such a huge carbon footprint. I see efforts towards this end and I’m confident we’ll pull through.

    That said, I also think some of the big cities in places like India will be unfortunately uninhabitable by the time we get there (around 2050)
