  Phone books were useful at one point, though less so for individuals.

  Not saying you’re wrong but it reminded me of a moment when I was a kid. I was all of five years old when I got lost in rural Arizona. I was visiting my grandparents and my cousin and I went out looking for turtles after a monsoon the night before. I got separated from my older cousin and then lost. I wandered around for hours until I found the main road that led through a nearby small town. I managed to hitchhike to the local trading post where the clerk managed to find my grandparents phone number to let them know they had found me.

  They were sometimes useful. Also, they were great for prank calls.

  My mom taught me growing up that you can never be too professional. Going by that advice, I think A & B at the same time is the clear answer.

  Almost every type of Streptomyces releases geosmin when they die. Now your butt can too.

  On top of that, I’m not really seeing a method of actually keeping the token out of a bot’s hands. It sounds like once the token is granted it’s carte blanche to scrape or commit fraud.

  I don’t think there is really any easy solution for this problem either. It’s a never ending cat and mouse game trying to stop bots, similar to malware.

  Thanks for sharing this graph. Please forgive my pessimism regarding the subject. I know a lot of progress is being made in the area of renewables and sometimes it still feels dire. Hopefully we can hasten that downward trend with coal.
