What Does a Static, Sustainable Economy Look Like?
As resources diminish, research and innovation will be needed to compensate for their scarcity. How will computer science contribute to such a situation?
Half-Baked High-Resolution Referencing
I wonder whether time resolution, in addition to space resolution, might be a functionality to instantiate. Assuming that this would be an interesting capability, it remains to figure out how to implement it.
Manufactured goods today do not seem to take into account the possibility of repair.
