It seems implausible that the oil companies are generating all the emissions. To do so would mean burning the products that they could sell for profit.

You should make up a new word for this process.

There was a change in management and the former management wanted to build fabs and the current management wants to cut back.

Federal government paid Intel to build fabs. As they're not doing that, taking the money back is reasonable.

Intel is complaining about the money being taken in stock. Alternatively it could have been taken in cash which intel would have had to put as debt on its books. I think the stock is easier for them. US is also trying to build a sovereign wealth fund. 11 billion of intel stock is a reasonable addition to that.

Make copyright for 14 years, as it is supposed to be. Then we will be spared all this nonsense, together with umpteen Star Wars and Marvel spinoffs and endless remakes. Maybe Hoilywood will produce something original, for a change.

Any AI person out there who can say whether AI brings anything to chaos theory?

Stablecoin is coming The middleman industry is petrified of losing that sweet, rent-seeking, no-effort stream of cash. The credit card business is not sustainable, disintermediation is coming for them, and they know it.

I advise the airlines and other businesses to stick to their knitting, focus on doing it well and drop all the side-hustles the MBAs dream up.

"But I am not a chemist..."

That much is obvious.

Just put the plastic in a properly-managed landfill and be done with it. Recycling, like bio-fuels and other performative greenwashing, does not help the environment.

I bet you see a lot more plastic waste blowing around in India than the USA. Funny, that...

Remind me how much emissions have declined in India, and how much the climate has cooled?

Stolen valor for programmers, developers, code monkeys and script kiddies.

This is why copyright should be 14 years. Then the studios would have to do something that is actually original. Everything is a low-effort, safe, lowest-common-denominator rehash.

Solar farm or strip mine. Hard to tell the difference in esthetics.

Why has Columbia collected and retained all this information? If Columbia does not judge you by your race, then it does not need to know your race. Or sex, gender, orientation, disability, citizenship, origin, income...

Whatatboutsim.

(I'm told that shuts up stupid commentators)

It is possible for private citizens and organizations to gather data, you know? How hard is it to get an air sample and analyze it?

There are plenty of think-tanks, universities and companies that collect and publish economic data. If you rely on the government to do everything for you, you run into exactly the kind of problem we have here.
