My company, my rules. For example almost all people working for me are Ukrainians, my policy is that Ukraine must win in this war against the murderous ruzzian aggression. Anyone not aligned with my values shouldn't be working here. I also completely support Israel, anyone not aligned with my values, shouldn't be working here.

I'm not sure who thought this would be a good idea.

Hydrogen, to the extent it makes sense at all seems a much better fit for trucks. Trucks have more room but weight requirements (and hydrogen is light but takes a lot of space), and have far more predictable routes like moving in between warehouses making it much easier to build a few hydrogen stations in the right places.

The problem I believe is that hydrogen is so far very expensive, and so even though that trucks make a good fit as far as infrastructure goes, the price probably discourages commercial operations.

So it sucks price-wise, and it sucks infrastructure-wise, and it's terrible if you run out of hydrogen. Very little reason to buy one of those only than risking a whole lot of money to be an early adopter.

government has long surpassed that threshold. Government shouldn't be so big, that its failure would take down the country, yet here we are, all of us.

Thank you for balancing the parentheses. Cosmic order has been restored.

The Sunshine policy didn't work. The North Korean government didn't like how it reduced their power. They are more interested in power than in increasing the opportunities for their people. The North Korean government uses aid to increase its power (by controlling its distribution), and rejects aid or connections that it doesn't control.

So the Sunshine policy would work great if it made connection to people at lower levels, but since the North Korean government prevents that, it becomes a means to increase the power of the North Korean government.

The most heinous of all crimes is dictatorship, based on number of deaths, rapes, child trafficking, and so on.

Dictatorship is maintained with terror and murder and growing technological panopticons.

E2EE is just what the doctor ordered to thwart this, the most heinous of crimes. It's tough enough as it is. We, the free west, should lead the way, not offer ready-made tools with ready-made patter for dictators to spout.

There's no point in supporting Qt5. It's dead, and on maintenance only for commercial users for just another year.

Compared to what? Like spending hundreds of billions a month on covid stuff, when the shut down economy is a trillion a month?

You are about to mod me down, but you will do the intellectually honest thing: file it away in the back of your mind and watch over the next few decades as things unfold.

Amelioration efforts are what will happen. Here's why you will mod me down: But amelioration offers no argument for politicians to get in the way until

5. Profit!

happens.

But nevermind that. Amelioration will be the solution.

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.

The answer is that this is somewhat misleading; there are plenty of Z80 compatible chips still being manufactured. The TI-84 uses the eZ80, which is four times faster and will still be around. There are also many (many) clones that are closer to cycle-exact.

Uppercase g, G*

False.

That will happen to Reddit too, once people realize they can get on the front page of search results by posting there.

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.
