  4. Oh yeah, i purposely go camping to burn as many trees in my campfire.

  5. I also reboot my computer because its always on.

  6. Firmware engineer here... Sorta. Kinda. We consider firmware to be software with just a few minor details in modern systems. We call 'em embedded computers and we still need to "FLASH" a chip for deployment.

  9.  @Radagast1953  yeah. It's written to on chip or sometimes SPI based flash. This memory is considered ROM by the linker script and is usually NOR based flash that is more stable but higher footprint than NAND flash. Sometimes a chips will feature "in application programming" of flash memory where you can rewrite the normally ROM flash in application Also... Wetware... I heard of a story where braincells we're trained to fly a flight sim...

  10. The Dutch part was spun off to NXP.

  11.  @laurendoe168  Chernobyl was moderated by graphite, it had a very high positive void coefficient and no containment building. It was also operated by morons that forced the reactor into overload because the Xeon was absorbing all their neutrons. Unfair comparison, though I do prefer my nuclear processes to operate a one atmosphere or lower.

  12. United States is a Constitutional Republic, at least that's the way the document was written. Democracy ends up being tyranny of the masses. That's WHY we elect representatives to advocate our interests

  13. Are we absolutely SURE it was CFCs? Quick Google searches suggest that holes in the ozone layer are cyclical? We have only been measuring it for a few decades, this might be a natural cycle. I feel there was a huge JUMP with proposed hypothesis followed up with no actual experiment. How does the chlorine actually leave the atmosphere?

  14.  @nsc319  not really. You can write assembly for the main processor all day, telling the hardware what to do in assembly is pretty using the store value command... Working with hardware is often just configuration of certain bits and bytes at certain memory locations.

  15.  @telgars  i agree. It's a super-package that is neither one or the other. an fpga bitstream could include software for what we call a "soft" core. It's usually BLAZE or NIOS for xilinx or altera respectively, sometimes RISC-V for either. The bitstream RBF can include both at least on altera parts.

  20. I don't understand what the problem is. Food production increases year over year. Green revolution since the 1950s has largely been successful....

  21.  @greyeyes3333  I just hope that humans remember that Marxist socialist implementations of the 20th and 20st centuries sent many millions of people to death camps and purges. Capitalism, on the other hand, was a mechanism to reward-hack the human psyche to produce all the wonderful technology leading up to the post-scarcity world. Here's hoping we don't kill ourself off with this technology.

  22. Climate change models also predict more warming at the equator, not in the polar regions. Models also predict too much warming when you base it on anthropogenic CO2.

  23. Completely mitigating climate change would likely cause an ice age that would bury most of Canada under mountains of snow that would ultimately form into glaciers. Much of north america would not be able to grow food as the Winters would be difficult and growing season would be extremely short if it existed at all. Basically this problem is solvable with nuclear powered water desalination and treatment plants.

  24. Everyone knows that trees are carbon neutral.

  25. NO NO NO! .... Only about 1% of the CO2 dissolved in water forms carbonic acid. The VAST MAJORITY stays as CO2, even under pressure. If more of it formed carbonic acid, your coke would dissolve you faster than yellow xenomorph blood.

  26. Here's the miracle, we are capable of explaining anything.

  27.  @destroytheboxes  we know it's emitting photons that likely took 15 billion years to get here. I am not an expert though...

  28. Salt lake is NOT DRYING out from climate change. People are diverting the water for agriculture.

  29. It was a parody, not a satire. There's just too many inconsistencies and failed predictions, shitty science and politics to really take any expert on their word. Dr Mann, the scientist at the center of climategate, is yet another example of an expert like Dr. Fauci. It's really hard to find the data and methods used in climate models, these models are so configurable and complex, you could make these models say anything you want.

  30. Took a while before people started talking about the reality.

  31.  @laurendoe168  nah. We shouldn't make reactors that CAN explode or meltdown. LFTRs are the way to go, walk away safe and not easy to weaponize.

  32. Joe. Become more positive. Be the change you want to see. Read Jordan Peterson. Learn to meditate. Take some ssri medications. Whatever works man

  33. You're a lot more tolerable than the channel of ridiculous, unproven, and speculative technology that won't leave the lab.

  34. You seem to believe in the climate change scam.

  35.  @beenchillin2yill197  humans are making the climate better but destroying the land with monoculture farms, fracking and we're using up all of the water in the rivers. Soon, we will just wrap all land in silicone panels because that's going to fix everything. There is no climate emergency, there is no evidence that extreme weather is increasing, if you READ the IPCC report, they indicate a "low confidence" that extreme weather events can be correlated to anthropogenic CO2. There has been lots of fraud in the climate research, but the media is in on it because doom predictions get clicks. There is actual evidence that humans are causing lots of problems, and we could be solving those, like land management and nuclear plants... But apparently allegedly slightly warmer temperatures and glaciers that have been melting for thousands of years -- things that humans have no control over... are somehow more important.

  37. Ultra wealthy people that might be evil villains that make speculative investments on an unproven technology is interesting. Though it also might be a tax shelter, if it LOSES money, they can write that off as a loss.

  38. Farce. It's a stupid idea that is a huge waste of time.

  39. Hey, someone post the empiracle evidence that CO2 is directly related to climate change.

  40.  @jimgraham6722  i read them. They say lots of interesting stuff but they have no idea how much thd co2 is warming the planet. It could be 100% it could be 1%. They also do not know what the net effect if the warming will be. According to the last IPC report, changes due to warming over the next 100 years will bot be noticeable in comparison to changes in economy, governmentak policy, society, culture... I can say that the amount of warming is really quite small, so small we need special scientists to measure it. Being said, i think we should change our ways because its probably NOT a great idea to dump gigatons if anything into our atmosphere. Nuclear energy, grid level storage are technologies that might help. We have the ability to do this right now.

  41.  @jimgraham6722  the problem I have isn't that I think CO2 is completely benign, its most certainly probably bad, i just don't think we understand the climate well enough. The IPCC is highly political and supports a narrative in the direction of the Great Reset.

  42.  @jimgraham6722  there is plenty of doubt that the evidence that there is atmospheric warming that is far out of "normal for an interglacial" is somewhat dubious, our mechanism for accurate satellite measurement is only decades old, surface temperature records are only about a few hundred years at best. Measurement tech gets better and better, but past temperature values, for instance might have a bias towards cooler natural temperatures due to urban heat island effects. Newer measurements of surface temperatures are naturally warmer as we now have much larger cities. Beyond a few hundred years, proxies like tree ring and ice core samples are used. I know that precipitation can affect the tree ring data, a year with cool temperatures but little rain will appear similar to a year with normal rain and higher temperatures. Siliarily, the ice core samples measure relative amounts of oxygen isotopes to identify temperature and the historical volcanic trace gases can find dates within about two years. However... the source of the water in the snow may contribute to the oxygen isotope concentration. Bottom line, There are uncertainties that introduce a lot of noise into past temperature data. There is also evidence of climate alarmists cherry picking data to fit a narrative, but lets stick with more hard science.

  43.  @jimgraham6722  there is also doubt that the original idea that CO2 would cause warming as indicated when also controlling for H2O. H2O is a much more potent greenhouse gas and its absorption spectra is very similair to CO2. Basically photons scattered by a CO2 molecule by chance would likely have been scattered by an H2O molecule anyway. Thought experiment: imagine a room full of 250 eight year old boys (H2O) and 20 three year old girls (CO2) Throw hundreds of M&Ms (infrared photons) into the room and... well, the little girls really wont impact the amount lost much, even if you double them up.

  44.  @jimgraham6722  you are a great person, I really appreciate the polite conversation... we do live in an era of energy abundance and I hope we get more energy. Anytime humans get new energy source we do great things. Right around the time humans figured out fire, our ancestors cooked food that gave us better nutrition allowing us to support advanced neurology. We tamed animals to help us farm and that let us found cities. Right around the time humans figured out fossil fuels and the industrial revolution sparked a disdain for slavery and largely abolished from the first world nations. Electrical energy and its refinements are also quite miraculous as well. Nuclear energy adoption could usher in a new age of who knows what amazing advancement humans might make next. I am doing my best as a scientist and enigineer to make sure this is done as soon and as safely as possible. While we might disagree on the source of the climate change, it does seem we're on the same page with what needs to happen. Our reasons are different, but actions are the same. Your grand kids and their grand kids will be just fine if I have anything to say about it.

  45. Yup. Lithium Ion batteries have flaws. They're charged up with icky gross energy from fossil fuels.

  46. Ok... So CFCs were a patented product by Dupont. Dupont WANTED them banned because the patent was expiring. The Montreal protocol had nothing to do with why it wasn't produced anymore. Follow the money and don't trust the government.

  47. If our planet is a water planet and the climate is dominated by water cycles and H2O is a potent greenhouse gas.... Maybe anthropogenic global warming is caused by farming, especially in arid areas... CO2 is likely not that big of a deal, it's all the farming we are doing.

  48. Well, I think Joe needs to take that course on chemistry. He is wrong about that carbonic acid. A tiny fraction of CO2 makes carbonic acid. Like around 1% at any time disassociates...

  49. Joe's brain told him he was smart.

  50. Ok. How much higher is the temperature? Are we not using more water there? What about industrial use of the water for HVAC for data centers? Evaporative cooling releases VAST amounts of H2O into the air, which is a more potent GHG than CO2. So... Blah...
