  • Of course. You can even use the syntax.

    My opinion is that most educational stuff treats kids super super carefully. If you’re a parent or doing 1:1 teaching, you very precisely target which things to do and how to teach them. Like, “don’t go into the deep end of the pool” is for when there isn’t someone paying attention and watching. But you are. You can step in and help. Go have fun in the deep end.

    The bigger problem I see, is that for learning to happen, there needs to be genuine interest and a genuinely good project for the kid to do and chances are they can’t do that, because they don’t have any problems that need solving.

    You can bridge that by making something up or buying a kit, but ultimately, learning to code is about empowerment to solve your own problems.


  • straight up not feasible

    It’s very feasible to create the law, collect the fine, and raise the price on energy sources or industrial process that require the cooling.

    It’s a formality, you could do it in an afternoon. Costs a bit of ink and a piece of paper.

    “But then it gets more expensive!” and “This might push corporations out of the city/country.” is the consequence the people / the government / the country have to have the balls to endure, if they want to stand by things like “having enough water” or “living on earth in the 22nd century”.

    If the free market is something you believe in, you should love this, because it makes water a more scarce resource and the market will be able to find another optimal solution to that new scarcity problem.
