Gotta tie it into global warming somehow.

This particular issue has nothing to do with it, and is at a faster rate. River deltas meander back and forth (like rivers themselves). As such, they are constantly depositing fresh silt, back and forth, back and forth.

Build a city, put in levees to guide the river, and this process stops. The weight of the city and the silt it is built on slowly squeeses out water, squeezes it down. New Orleans is 6 feet below sea level, as we found out 20 years ago.

The process is slow, allowing easy building of sea walls, but much faster than sea rise.

A long time ago, people realized progress depended on energy. If you have enough energy, you can do almost anything.

Best to get to it. If it needs to be "clean", so be it, but conservation AKA Spartan lives, is of very limited conceptual value.

Get to it making more.

In some states, they might be protected for off the job political opinions and activity. But this was on the job, speaking as Google workers agains their employer.

It's the difference between "I don't think company X should do this." And "I work for company X and don't think they should do this." You can't speak on behalf of the company outside the official mouthpiece, as you don't own it.

Cherry picking endpoints. Palestinians have been bullied around the mideast for a lot longer than that, mostly by not-Jews.

Their plan was to get the useful idiots to cow down Israel. This "opposed to Israel's actions, not their Jewishness" was integrated into the plan. Of course, that's for the West. Everywhere else it's classic antisemitism.

They were quite happy to see Saddam ended and see the US. Several years later, when it became apparent, as with Afghanistan, that a neo-dictatorship had formed and was hunkering down waiting for the US to leave, that they had a fatalism.

De todos modos, aquí está Wonderwall

Worse, unless the company is going out of business, which Ubisoft afaik is not, is it really a drag to spend a hundred a month keeping a server for ancient stuff running just for goodwill?

Some of these games needed many servers just for all the zones of one shard, a decade later that can be tucked into one computer.

Well, does it really need a server, like an MMO, or is that just some BS extra the software checks once in awhile becauae reasons?

Mitigation like this doesn't get in the way of business, and so bears little fruit, waggle-finger-wise.

How many Olympic-sized swimming pools?

If it moves, tax it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.

I pointed out once EVs got prevalent enough, government would stop subsidizing and start taxing. I got modded down, by clowns who, when government inevitably changed its mind, would later dutifully regurgitate the talking point that government now needs taxes for roads.

Any not on a sketchy web site?

Looks like blu ray in being tight fisted with patents, saying "you must pay more or do without".

World: We choose to do without.

Blu ray: Let's not get hasty, fellas!

Not being able to play blu ray on your computer without buying more software isn't helping.
