I agree. I see climate engineering as the short term solution that will get us to the long term solution. Without commenting on this specific implementation, experiments could be done. Many of the aerosol-type ideas are not permanent and wo

I'm not much of a tennis fan but I really enjoyed this book. The evolution of training and strategy during his era which is a subtext throughout is really interesting.

Given that humans are 'wired for story', perhaps you should consider indulging. These could be what makes the books stand out after all.

Thanks for posting this, it's a very interesting case study. Considering that the thing they seem to excel at is this type of writing, it's interesting that they still seem to be only ok at it if you're trying to produce a se

"Briefly, the US has the capacity to decisively win on one or two fronts at a time, so its strategic logic leads it to want to wrap up conflicts in order: put an end to the Ukraine war, and address Iran next, to preserve its ability to

I'll give the flaggers the benefit of the doubt and say that the article has a lot of assertions but little substance backing them up. I've seen comments (indeed on some of the flagged articles) with more substance than this artic

Insiders have little say. NSF is probably the most merit based system in all the US government. Literally any other program (defense?) is less merit based. Also, if nepotism and favoritism are the criteria for removal, let's start wi

This is false. The grants were not approved based on race. The grants were approved based on merit toward the goals of the field of science to which they were submitted. Showing how your work had broader impacts toward a more diverse, equit

I'm in a totally different field and this is 100% my experience. Some of the old papers have really great ideas that no one ever worked on, or talk about problems, which we have more data or better solutions/attacks on now. Findin

One of the hilarious things about rewatching old episodes of Seinfeld is his use of a cordless phone that I swear is the size of a toaster!

Late to the party, but this is something I've wanted to do for a long time. My background is in signal processing but the hardware has always been somewhat mysterious to me. Here is an interesting link from MIT: http://ocw.m

I would put this down as my best book ever. It contains one of the most important ideas (IMO) for a scientist to keep in mind: “But in introducing me simultaneously to skepticism and to wonder, they taught me the two uneasily cohabiting mod

You might find academic or medical IT more rewarding. Academic will likely be lower pay but there are many jobs in the HPC space that could use your linux background.

On thing I never see in these discussions is the toll on workers via radiation exposure. I worked at a nuclear plant in the 1990s and the exposure allowed to outage workers who worked six months a year was something like 5 REM, or 50yrs off

I'm not sure if it makes sense from a randomness generator point of view, but it shouldn't be to hard. You could even use the buoy cameras provided by NOAA, eg: https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/images/buoycam/W0
