That graph doesn't show that emissions gone down, that shows the estimated effect on temperature growth based on targets agreed on by the Paris agreement. Neither the targets nor the temperature estimates in this graph have been met.

Per capita emissions growth has slowed, not reversed but the population has INCREASED. Not only is industry emitting more per person, but there are more people.

Every single type of GHG has increased as well.

We're fucked.

Actually, in line with what was actually anticipated and taught in science classes in 2000. People decided to go with the best case scenarios as if global emissions would go down for some reason. No one who has been paying attention should be surprised.

yeah but that is exactly the kind of thing a threat actor will use to gain access to critical systems and private health data. It was a textbook scam coming from a clearly fake domain name and they clicked it and put in their credentials, credentials that take down hospital systems and kill people when they don't operate.

I have to disagree with the premise that security testing should be a "feel-good" exercise. In a healthcare setting, the security team operates as an internal auditor. Their job isn't to be liked; it is to protect patient lives from catastrophic ransomware attacks that shut down life-saving systems.

To do that effectively, they have an obligation to run real-world simulations. Actual threat actors don't care about hospital morale or their exploitation under capitalism and they will exploit those exact pressure points to gain credentials. What this test revealed isn't just that the staff are tired, but that a highly enticing lure easily bypasses their current social controls. Because of this test, the security team now knows they must rely heavier on technical controls (like hardware keys or stricter zero-trust policies) to compensate which is actionable. Being mad at the security team for exposing a fatal vulnerability is shooting the messenger.

Used to? You think they stopped?

Fortinet are sold by bottom rung MSPs who don't give a fuck and are totally fine with deploying a swiss cheese firewall

Calling blockchain a pure grift ignores the serious enterprise-level work being done to solve real logistical problems. The technology behind NFTs isn't just for JPEGs it's used to create a unique and immutable digital identity for stuff like physical shipping containers and pallets as digital twins. In a global supply chain where a single shipment passes through dozens of untrusted parties like factories, freight forwarders, ports, customs, and warehouses a distributed blockchain ledger provides a single source of truth that replaces manual emails, scanned paper documents, and spreadsheets. Smart contracts can automate releases upon verified scans, directly reducing the demurrage and detention fees that cost millions of dollars. The big hurdle isn't that the tech doesn't work or is a grift, it's getting competing companies to agree on common standards and invest in the infrastructure. The speculation was a sideshow, but the underlying utility for tracking physical assets across trust boundaries is a real thing

My favorite part about data centers in space is it may actually be impossible from a physics standpoint to build the heat radiators large enough for even a small one. Even though space is cold and would seem to make sense, it is also a destructive vacuum and to radiate even a small amount of heat outside of a shielded core would take a huge array of radiators

Yeah, maybe not impossible, but I mean extremely unlikely. I found a thread on reddit that had examples and a spreadsheet https://www.reddit.com/r/IsaacArthur/comments/11kp7s4/how_large_of_a_heatradiator_would_a_spacecraft/

To run a data center in space you would need some kind of reactor producing around 100 MW. If rejecting 100 MW at 800 K

A= 100,000,000 / 0.85×5.670374419e−8×800

The number is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (σ) https://physics.knox.edu/OnlineHW/zTest-PhysicalConstants.html

A≈5,065 m²

So roughly:

5,100 m² of radiating surface

That is a square about:

√(5065) ≈71 m per side

If it is a double-sided radiator panel, the physical panel area could be about half:

2,530 m² of panel, about 50 m × 50 m, assuming both sides radiate effectively.

Also temperature matters enormously so

At emissivity 0.85:

So the answer is about 5,000 m² (lol this is like "a football field" on each side) at 800 K, but balloons to absurd levels like hundreds of thousands of m² if you are trying to dump room-temperature waste heat which there would be a significant amount of. That is for a single small data center at current power needs. In the US alone data centers use 176 TWh (https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48646), so there is no chance we are going to be migrating a significant portion of it into space.

800K is 526C! You can’t run a datacenter at that.

Yeah, the temperature was an estimate for the nuclear reactor that would be needed lol, I tried to explain that most of the datacenter would be closer to room temperature which would require absurd sizes of radiators

Doesn't saving a password and TOTP in the same file kind of bypass the entire point of MFA?

He looks like a Harkonnen lol

Not nearly gay enough lol

Hell yeah, I just listened to the 15 minute LP it is so good

That was a public execution. American Nazis

Rich and powerful people like Epstein like to collect influence and status and part of that status is collecting novelty. This is something money can't directly buy and is exclusive so they need it like the parasites they are. Part of Epstein's appeal to these ghouls was that not only would he make you rich and get you girls but he himself was "smart" end erudite and surrounded himself with the "best and brightest." This is why he consorted with people like Hawking and Chomsky; he collected their reputations in his bag and then could tell other ghouls hey look come to the island, you can meet the most famous physicist of all time and, maybe, bang some young girls.

She is a fascist herself who led the unilateral intervention on Libya that lead to the unnecessary deaths of 50k people in a civil war that didn't need to happen, architected the pivot to Asia which will lead to WW3, and "promoted" LGBT rights internationally in a way that got LGBT people thrown under the bus world wide as a side effect of resisting American imperial power.

Funny how no other country either shuts down their government on a regular basis or needs the level of security theater of the TSA. Shit hole country.
