I often think of Livy's quote ""...we have reached these times in which we can neither endure our vices nor the remedies needed to cure them." That about sums it up. Oh, and we want to have our cake and eat it too. Good luck to the kids.

The oceans absorb 91% of all heat caused by global warming. Without the seas the plane would already be 36C hotter. Oh, and the Earth's current energy imbalance, the difference between absorbed and emitted radiation, is over 1 W/m2 which means at least another 0.75C of global warming is baked into the planetary thermostat.

Also, poor one out for the slashdot of old when there used to be at least semi-intelligent discussions on such matters.

Absolutely. Even companies that try to switch licenses to "protect" their code, like MinIO did, run the risk of people quickly switching to or creating alternatives. Like RustFS was created specifically to deal with the frustration of MinIO's change.

The fallacy is that throughout human history new forms of energy has typically been *additive* to existing forms. We're still burning about the same amount of biomass as we did 40 years ago.

The math gets very difficult very fast. Look up "Answers with Joe: Space Shades: Humanity's Last Hope" on youtube for a good overview.

All of it. What do you suppose swearing you will "help dismantle structures" really means?

Does it matter if the nation's elite schools only employ faculty from one political and ideological side of the spectrum? Maybe??

Please.. it says in the document big and loud "Search committees want to know that you are willing and able to help them make their department more equitable by working to dismantle structures and attitudes that make it more difficult for some students and colleagues to succeed."

tl;dr - They want to *know* that you will be dedicated to the DEI cause before advancing your candidacy. It's that obvious.

More gaslighting.. a "diversity statement" is literally a statement of ideological fealty to the DEI temple. Doubt me? https://www.cmu.edu/student-success/other-resources/handouts/comm-supp-pdfs/writing-a-diversity-statement.pdf

You are either living in a bubble or are deliberately gaslighting. Harvard, for example has just 3% of its faculty identify as conservative, as reported by their own Crimson. And that's not by chance. Just consider all the positions that required "diversity statements" as part of any application. Literally an ideological purity test.

I could go on and on but I suspect your views are your identity and are unchanging. And you'll resort to ad hominems to those who disagree, calling them "fools" who couldn't have made it into Harvard.

Are there seriously 0-day flaws in iOS that Apple doesn't know about?

Where does your "15%" figure come from? Do you dispute there's maybe 2C already locked in?

EEI is closer to 2 W/m^2

If the W/m^2 is closer to 1.4C as I believe Hansen suggests then we've theoretically got 3C of warming "locked in." Even if it's just 1C it's, well, borderline unthinkable.

the decision to switch to staking saves something like 99% of the energy vs bitcoin mining operations. no system is perfect but staking makes sense.

yep, I'm sure they've been backpedaling and adjusting tuning furiously.
