SP is mostly mixed used all around. Land-use and zoning pretty much doesn't exist throughout most of it sprawling and winding bairros. And it is: absolutely sprawling. crappy transport means youll find rendunancy between neighbhorhoods for most things, but each neighbhorhood does it differently.

We can answer that question by rephrasing, "why haven't HR employees sued their employers, time and time again?" then if it interests you personally pursue precedents.
Or better yet "Why dont employees commit career suicide for relatively minor offences that dont affect them personally and inflict no direct harm?"
Ya large corps with the tools and resources are beholden to the most rigid of ethical standards and furthermore wholly unable to commit crimes systematically for very long due precisely because of their scale, amiriteamirite?! Yukyuk where my high fives at, guys? Yukyukyuk
HR arguably has the most immediate potential gain, and from its new policies those in the employee pool have the most to lose.
There's a lot of use in applying insurance analysis techniques to filter out bad hires much better than conventional practices. Instead of interviews, vetting, tests, headhunters, you can adopt the latest in data analysis to cut costs and improve your KPIs across the board.
Predict an employee's productivity by analyzing online browsing behavior. Fixed qualities like attention span and drift; escapism and procrastination; pleasure-seeking vs productive, curious, prosocial browsing habits. How do these overlap in a typical workday? Are you focused or dispersed? Does your attention cycle? Do you complete tasks to the end, what happens when you get stuck on a problem?
This doesnt even get into
friendship networks, purchasing behavior, public displays of attitudes.
Can you game the system? Probably not. These days that requires you to play a losing game of tweaking your personality down to the smallest meticulous detail. Essentially going against the grain of your natural flow ordering all aspects of your identity to suit an opaque and almost certainly fault-laden.
People flip out about the Chinese social score, without realizing that it was pioneered in the US private-sector.
last i checked data collection from western-block companies is pretty centralized. Extensive records of your online behavior are being used (hence the money being made in it's collection and sale) by HR dpt, insurance companies, and loan desks to determine whether you qualify for a top tier salary for the same work, affordable coverage, and approval for a loan.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, as I am happy to see this issue making headlines, but this sounds like something out of Mike Judge's Idiocracy universe.
It's probably a really bad idea to spread rock dust on arable land. The mixture will probably retard the natural soil microbiota, and at worst render land unusable.
Just try adding a bunch of concrete dust to your basil plant in the window sill, see what happens. Most likely this will be the source, as concrete waste is a huge issue in most population centers. Natural microbiota, the life in soils, are our best bet at sequestering our overabundance of atmospheric ghg, because we literally have to do nothing. Just leave it the fuck alone. Most land is not past the point of no return, and most land is not being used to grow essential food crops. Our actual food is grown on a very small part of farms worldwide and has lots of room to intensify while reducing energy and chemical inputs.
Rebuilding and growing bogs, marshes, and wetlands should be our top priority if we want our great-grandchildren to enjoy the world outside of a cave or a bubble.
you know, if you showed us you are a soil agronomist, and cited something we might agree. Or, we might look at the other people commenting some of them who do cite references, who say this isn't retarding natural soil microbiota and isn't going to the at-worst case, making land unusable.
your example of "try this at home" is not actually good. concrete dust before hydration is completely different to the dust made post hydration, or fly ash, or surplus rock dust from mining. The properties of the pre-build and post-build chemical reactivity of concrete (its an exothermic reaction) need to be borne in mind.
That said, aggressive de-carbonisation of industry and agriculture, biochar, wetland remediation, re-forestation are probably vital, and urgent.
Maybe you are confusing (or I am not understanding) concrete dust with cement dust.
Concrete dust should be the result of demolition of concrete (already hydrated when it was cement to form the concrete, i.e. post exothermic reaction).
But, allegedly, the concrete surfaces (not reduced to dust) exposed in the Biosphere2 was sequestering both CO2 and oxigen, and - at least in that case - the "solution" was a supplement of oxygen, so maybe the concrete (not cement) dust uses both CO2 and oxigen while basalt only or mainly uses CO2?
Also, whether it is basalt or concrete dust, wouldn't this treatment alter the pH of the soil? (at least here historically where there is an excessively acid soil it is often corrected with additives like calcium carbonate or similar).
my answer was an attempt to get to this point because the OP said "get some cement and sprinkle it on your garden and see what happens" and the whole point was "thats not what people are doing in the farm sector here, they're not using pre-moistened cement dust, they are using post-pour concrete dust, the chemistry is different"
altering the PH can be desirable or harmful depending. thats where the 'get a soil agronomist into the convo' comes in.
from memory, there can be a significant non-bound component of
concrete, and it can persist for years. so I accept there is a continuing risk of aggregation of the dust, because it doesn't completely process in immediate time-frame of the pour (I am told that the hoover dam continued to bake off for years afterward)
Sure, I was only trying to distinguish cement dust from concrete dust, the OP mentioned concrete dust, not cement, and he mentioned it being "waste":
>Just try adding a bunch of concrete dust to your basil plant in the window sill, see what happens. Most likely this will be the source, as concrete waste is a huge issue in most population
About aggregation, there are usually big differences between the different kinds of cement, modern Portland cements tend to end hydration (and thus hardening) within months, whilst good ol' Pozzolanic went on for years.
But I wouldn't be surprised if such a massive pour as a dam would go on hardening for many years.
Correction: not different skills: some of these are domains and subdomains; others are approaches; others are approaches and (sub)domains. They are all mixed up in your answer, which I found to be very insightful, by the way.
Although I am admitedly far from an expert in the field in question I am not a layperson either. I say the types of activities you mentioned are of the same group of skills, in different domains, which often requires a different but similar set of approaches (based on both convention and the subtleties of the domain).
For instance making wrist watches, grandfather clocks, steam punk sex dolls, and the ankagathera(sp) machine are different use cases and require different types of mental projections and organizational methodologies in execution (approaches), but the skillsets have an undeniable amount of overlap. They overlap more with each other than they exclude. In SQL terms the size of the output of the inner join is much greater than the same for the outer join. Therefore you can say that they are of the same skill set, just like doing abdomial flexibility helps with running and bicycling hill climbs helps your breast stroke. Different muscle groups, but share many types of synergy: all part of physical fitness.

Memory is important. While things are in still in recent living memory they often become lost. Later even the most seemingly banal tidbit can help us reconstruct our path to now.
We could build cooling devices on the poles. A dome around them to reflect light and (maybe) generate (some) of the necessary energy. There are well developed solutions to generate energy from waves and ocean currents. The cooling units also have pumps to essentially produce ice. The kinetic energy solutions are long snakelike tubes which can also serve to transport the
