Actually, getting the CO2 out of the atmosphere is possible, but *quite* expensive. Thermodynamics + entropy mean it will take more energy to get the CO2 re-concentrated than it released in being created.

Not fair. There are applications for which nuclear appears to be the best solution.

But, yeah, solar and wind scale a lot faster and more cheaply, even when you include the needed storage.

Are you an LLM trained on the political cartoons in The Onion?

They're not going to buy a weird brand. That's way too exploratory.

And I won't buy a Bezos brand.

I won't buy American any more either, though. I'm over that shit. American automakers can't make a car worth a fuck, period.

Yeah, but it costs tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars and weeks of study to do that. You have to study which phage will work before it's deployed, and this is inherently expensive and time consuming. It will presumably get cheaper, but it probably can't get much faster.

America factually sold war supplies including fuel and metals to the Axis. As a Nazi, you should know this and be thankful.

There is no such thing. The only actually correct thing is the real world. Everything else is an approximation, and this is one of them. There are plenty of minor players who will pay for cheaper training. It certainly doesn't matter to Google whether it will produce good results. Arguably no approach will, so why not just use this?

You can relay DHCP.

Netbooting desktops is one of those ideas that sounds great and then isn't. The HDD isn't that expensive. AFAICT nobody does it except for clusters and POS which is worthless without the network anyway. Plus it's an opportunity for an attacker on your network to get your machine to boot another system so they get access to a whitelisted MAC.

Then the ballot gets checked against a list of voters, they're not on it, and it gets thrown away.

Now shut the fuck up or I'm going to go donate more money to Wild Hornets so they can buy more drones so they can blow up the Yandex facility "you" "live" in

Thinking you're better than other people because you bring home more money is only one of the many reasons why you're a little bitch.

If you were smart enough to know that filtering doesn't have to be all encompassing we might believe you actually do the things you claim you do for a living.

But no one does.

Yep. Back in the early days of Slashdot, when helium usage would come up, I'd grumble about how wasteful the medical industry was with helium.

It still uses a lot, but it's nowhere near as wasteful as it was before.

Yes, like the Nile Delta, water flowed in from wet regions further away to the desert and near-desert lowlands, and humans began using it for agriculture. Around the Tulare Basin, there's dozens of inches per year in the mountains due to orographic uplift, but only half a dozen in the lowlands. The problem is that farmers first consumed the water from the mountain-fed local rivers and are now consuming water shipped in from as far away as the Oregon border and drawing down groundwater much faster than it's being replenished. At the same time, the mountain rivers are becoming less reliable as climate change leads to snowpack melting earlier. As it stands today, it is not sustainable. More water is being used than is long-term available.

Indeed, I have no clue what you think you were trying to prove with this link:

The conversion of this water system to a lake-and-slough wetland to agriculture began in the mid-1800s when European settlers began to build canals and diversion structures to irrigate their crops. This early irrigation infrastructure upstream from Tulare Lake slowly cut off the lake from its source waters, shrinking the lake's footprint. By 1899 - less than 50 years after irrigation was initiated - Tulare Lake went dry for the first time in history.

They were overdrawing the rivers *even before the 20th century*.

Only in the most utterly pedantic sense of the word "different" wherein you mean that by definition, infant mortality occurs early and wear occurs later. But they can both stem from the same root cause, which is a component not built with adequate tolerances. In other words, they can be the same fundamental issue, just expressing themselves at different times.

Most products don't have an MTBF. And things that do have MTBF are based on accelerated wear testing on a small number of units, and can have almost zero basis in reality. There was one model of major brand hard drive about twenty years back where a couple of RAIDs where I used to work got lost because the drives all died after such a predictable number of powered-on hours that by the time you could re-stripe the RAID, the next drive would die. They ended up making sure the drives had a high variance in powered-on hours before using them in RAIDs after that.

It's an example that proves or demonstrates a point. And the point it was proving was that the same root cause can be responsible for both catastrophic early product failures and premature deterioration-related failures.

It's productive in the sense that it brings clarity to what the fuck one is talking about, instead of leaving people to wonder. Your observation is well-made, however.
