If that's the standard then dairy products wouldn't be available in parts of the US. Stuff is subsidized and regulated up the wazoo because people at the time felt it was a good idea to feed kids a regular supply of protein and calcium. (this was before we mandated feeding them corn syrup)

At some point people gotta make money. EU has every right to determined how businesses make money from EU citizens. But cutting off every avenue is probably going to backfire, perhaps even isolate Europe's Internet. (I don't know for sure, I'm not trying to be an alarmist. I'm just putting it out there as a thought)

These guys are super arrogant. It's almost like executives know they will be OK financially, even if they run their company into the ground.

Plus government bail out loans with incredibly generous rates for unsecured debt. Maybe this time the ones running the auto companies won't bother paying back the loans and pivot their wealth some place else.

Yes. It is possible to use limited resources in an unsustainable way. If technology doesn't replace the resource with an alternative then a future generation has to do without, with a potentially disastrous reduction in the standard of living.

We're too small for readers to overwhelm a site. And we're definitely less relevant than Taylor Swift.

that leaves for a lot of multiverses.

They are orders of magniude difference in speed. The "combined problem" of delta subsidence AND OH MY GOT GW SEA RISE is the most distorting thing since CNN ran a story with the headline "global warming sea rise will be just like the tsunami" which killed 300,000 people.

Clicking on the link, 6 paragagraphs down, they say it will be 30 feet, "like the tsunami", but over 300 years.

So learn 2 hyperbole like your power broker masters. You only think I disbelieve. Because you don't think.

Mali struggles to keep its generators running. This is a corruption and dictator problem.

I've long said the biggest problem for humanity is death, as it has been since we've been humans, and the biggest problem with death is dictatorship and corruption slowing progress.

Putting it in terms of gw because that's the current concern in the west, puts the cart before the horse for major problems of humanity by several orders of magnitude.

"That which is common to the greatest number gets the least amount of care. Men pay most attention to what is their own: they care less for what is common."
-- Aristotle

It takes an advanced culture and individual maturity to counter-act basic human nature that Aristotle identified and many have discussed through the centuries. So while you're goofing off with reactionary politics, can you stand back and let the big girls and boys take care of the serious problems?

Z80 is turing complete. And 64k bytes is enough to count all the atoms in the visible universe.

The conservation laws are statistical, at least to a degree. Local apparent violations can be OK, provided the system as a whole absolutely complies.

There's no question that if the claim was as appears that the conservation laws would be violated system-wide, which is a big no-no.

So we need to look for alternative explanations.

The most obvious one is that the results aren't being honestly presented, that there's so much wishful thinking that the researchers are forcing the facts to fit their theory. (A tendency so well known, that it's even been used as the basis for fictional detectives.)

Never trust results that are issued in a PR statement before a paper. But these days, it's increasingly concerning that you can't trust the journals.

The next possibility is an unconsidered source of propulsion. At the top of the atmosphere, there are a few candidates, but whether they'd impart enough energy is unclear to me.

The third possibility is that the rocket imparted more energy than considered, so the initial velocity was incorrectly given.

The fourth possibility is that Earth's gravity (which is non-uniform) is lower than given in the calculations, so the acceleration calculations are off.

When dealing with tiny quantities that can be swamped by experimental error, then you need to determine if it has been. At least, after you've determined there's a quantity to examine.

Management is here 6 days a week generating mountains of paperwork. Why can't you be more productive like them?

I'm pretty sure assault is still illegal, even for a cop. Although with qualified immunity it is possible that no one will be held responsible for the assault.

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.

Heck of a business to be in. Make a service that has been available for free in some form or another for decades. And then compete with dozens if not hundreds of other startups and open source projects. Maybe I should sell of the few shares of WORK (Slack) that I have.

We have had jabberd setup at work for about 15 years. But a few years ago, my work decided to pay for both Slack and Teams. Teams is sort of free, but not everyone actually wanted MS Office so it was only free in our IT department's weird fantasies.

How do I find my coworkers when we're on 3 different services. I run 3 different apps/tabs. Also a handful of coworkers refuse to use chat programs, and will video conference but only if you set it up via email in advance.

I'm not really trying to complain. More pointing out that the tech industry is full of brilliant people who can't even make a simple agreement on which nearly identical pieces of software to use company-wide.
