Reminds me of an old 1990s/2000s post from News of the Weird [0] about endowed chairs with funny names, such as an XYZ Corn Chair at some midwestern US university, or an NEC/ Nippon Electric Chair at some Japanese university.

Wouldn't that be the war crime of perfidy, similar to when the US used a secret plane painted as a civilian aircraft to sink one of the Venezuelan boats 9/2025?
Warships are explicitly allowed to use false flags at sea, provided they lower them and raise their true flag before launching an attack. So all that would change to be legal would be to raise the flag and then unleash the drone swarms.
I'm not quite sure if just putting up a military flag on a civilian transport ship makes it count as a warship or not though.
"AMOC" = Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a system of ocean currents that transports warm and salty water into the North Atlantic via upper-ocean currents.
Changes to the AMOC will strongly influence future climates in the Atlantic and beyond. A key consequence of an AMOC slowdown, among many others, is the equatorward shift of the intertropical convergence zone, which will lead to the drying out of the Sahel region and put pressure on its agriculture and food security...
That's not why it was "struck down" by SCOTUS. It was struck down because California intentionally did not defend the case in SCOTUS, leaving the proponents (i.e., those representing the majority vote) to defend it in SCOTUS. Then SCOTUS determined the prop 8 voters didn't have standing to defend prop 8, essentially defaulting the decision through a perverse chickenshit technicality and remanding it back to the lower courts.
SCOTUS did not find gay marriage bans unconstitutional in that case. Only the 9th circuit did, and California intentionally stopped defending it at the 9th circuit because the 9th circuit is and was pro gay marriage.
When a car that's been discontinued still racks up sales several years after its discontinuation, it means there was leftover stock on dealer lots... 3 years in the case of the 500X
> In the form of tantalum nitride that Hu and his colleagues studied, the atomic structure of the crystal lattice lets phonons travel unusually long distances with minimal interference.
Sort of like a thermal (phonon) superconductor.. Maybe there's a true thermal superconductor out there to be discovered...
Indeed. But radiative cooling in vacuum is much slower than conductive cooling per unit surface area (even just in air at sea level on earth, air being a fairly poor conductor) unless you manage to concentrate the heat in your radiator at a massive temperature that most materials can’t withstand.
And conductive heat transfer is what’s being measured in the context of this article.
Interesting but your site renders very badly on mobile; I have to scroll down through four screenfuls of ads or blank padding before I see a single paragraph of article, then more blank page. It is visually indistinguishable from an adfarm. Could you fix that?
I think it's commendable for a huge corporation building lots of data centers to (partially) offset that impact. Amazon, Oracle and others aren't. It's unhealthy for a single company to be most of the market.
Can you point to a factual source for claiming it's a scam? If India and China aren't signatory to climate treaties, should there be no collective action?
Carbon credits are a scam. We quite simply don't have the technology to remove carbon from the atmosphere. The technology we do have is so incredibly inefficient and energy intensive that you end up burning more carbon generating the power to remove the carbon you're paid for.
If this were a feasible route, everyone would be pouring billions into the venture and they'd have more than one customer.
Carbon credits are and have always been pure grift and nothing more.
Your website says your goal is "to act in the best interests of all our citizens" but doesn't define who all your citizens are, other than presumably founders Ella and Robert, so isn't that an alignment problem? Theft, piracy, slavery etc. that benefit you two would be fair game.
