It's bullshit. The ROM files for the NES and SNES Classic Edition consoles use a common header format.
People are crying that Nintendo is using ROMs from the internet as their source. That's bullshit. People are crying that Nintendo is stealing the work of emulator developers. That's also bullshit.
Nintendo has access to everything they've published on their platforms and they have their own, in-house emulators. One of the big deals with the release of these Classic Edition consoles, and the release of StarFox 2, is that we now have an official, good (but not perfect) way to properly emulate the SuperFX2 chip.
So why did Nintendo use that header format? Probably for the same reason they left the system, the successor system, and the rereleases open to "hacking". (There's really no hack involved - it's bog standard shit for the included hardware.) And the same reason they gave them more storage than they needed to have.
It's their wink wink, nudge nudge to let people put a whole lot more shit on there. You can load up your NES Classic or SNES Classic with tons of fucking games. Use the included ROMs with a different emulator, use external ROMs with the included emulator, or whatever the fuck else you want. They knew what certain people wanted to do with these boxes, and they went out of their way to let it happen.
The guy pouring sawdust on vomit at Disneyland is a 'Cast Member", and the guy pressing the button to lock the lap bar in your cart is an "Imagineer". McDonald's want bright, energetic team members with the skills and motivation to go out of their way to make your visit special!
Meanwhile, a wind mill can be placed in a matter of months.
How long does it take for a windmill to offset the emissions of the concrete needed to build it and the constant lubrication it needs to keep spinning?
Most of the cost is due to regulatory bullshit. Don't get me wrong - it's important to get this shit right. But clowns actively attack any and all attempts to build a nuke plant with FUD and bullshit. With modern plant designs it's pretty much impossible for your doomsday meltdown / China syndrome scenarios to play out. Further, even if it is expensive, so what? Is global warming - sorry, AGW - an ECONOMIC issue? Or is it a REAL, ENVIRONMENTAL issue? If it's a real, environmental issue I'm all for subsidizing clean, plentiful, nuclear power.
The fact that new plants aren't opening up is because of idiots like you who seek to prevent it. Costs will go down as you open up more plants. As will the time it takes to open a new plant.
Spent fuel? If the fuel is SPENT, then it's not an issue. If the fuel isn't SPENT, then you REUSE IT in a lower yield reactor. Do you know what a fucking half life is?
Sorry to disappoint you, but temperature is proportional to fourth root of solar irradiation, space reflectors are about the most inefficient way to go about it imaginable.
Sorry to disappoint you, but if the sun doubled its output and you think we'd only get 18.9% more Kelvins, u r dum.
Where do you think the extra radiation will go? Will it be deflected or reflected at a higher rate before it enters the atmosphere? Does every EM emission come with a tag that says "Xtra" for our Basic Bitches (magnetosphere, atmosphere, planet) to inspect and selective reject?
But what happens when hackers get in and hold the planet hostage? What if Bruce Willis is too old to pass the pre-launch physical and can't save the planet?
You keep it crewed and don't design in any remote control capability. If the crew goes rogue, or some shit goes wrong and the mirror points at us, have Chairman Kim send a missile up.
so there is no reason to assume that it will change back whlie there are still humans left alive
Who the fuck cares? If we all gradually die off, we'll all be fucking dead. SO WHAT? Don't you morons think the planet would be better off without us anyway?
So tell us, which one of your doomsday scenarios have come truth yet? Ice Caps should have been melted like two times over, a couple of cities are supposed to be under water by now, and little baby seals should be clubbing themselves due to going nuts from all the extra heat they have to experience.
If you believe those were actual scientific predictions you're just listening to hyperbolic rants from climate science deniers, not any actual scientific predictions.
Those were indeed the actual fucking predictions of the climate scientists and their "consensus".
Polar ice caps will be completely melted. Many species will be wiped out. Coastal cities will be underwater. Hasn't happened. Isn't tracking to happen in anywhere near the time frames you clowns have been claiming. May still happen at some point. Likely won't seriously harm the planet. May kill off a bunch of people and animals. Nothing unusual for this planet. It'll keep spinning.
The hockey stick is an observation, not a model. In that sense it is only wrong if the measurements are wrong. And you didn't hear about it 40 years ago as Mann was still in high school, and he coined the phrase.
It was based on observations of a system and it tried predict the future state of that system. That's a model.
I don't see how statistical models applies here. The main climate models are physical models, not statistical models.
Show me where the physical model is. Who built it? What material is it made of?
It's a STATISTICAL MODEL based on DATA collected from PHYSICAL SENSORS that is then "ADJUSTED" to help fit the model after the fact. It's pure fucking malarkey! That is NOT how you exercise the scientific method.
Models don't "have errors." They model exactly what they're designed to model.
Are you retarded? A model is supposed to be a representation of a real thing. If the model differs from the actual thing, that's an error in the model.
No climatologist has ever produced a model worth a damn. They're all wildly inaccurate and can't predict change a few years out let alone a hundred.
You forgot: We have to respect nature at all costs, unless that nature includes species adapting to changing conditions, in which case we need to buy refrigerators for polar bears.
Per capita emissions don't matter. Total emissions matter. The planet isn't going to keep pollutants in areas of higher populations, is it? They're going to distribute. Smog from China makes its way across the ocean.

Accidentally cut the second line:
Assume you're trying to recreate any 1 of 128 decent games and want a 50% chance for "probably".
Punch 2^102400 into your calculator plz.

Nintendo makes tons of fucking money every time they re(-re)+lease one of those old games.

What makes you think Amazon wants "tech workers"? They want wage slaves. Actual skills are immaterial to 9/10 jobs they will be hiring for.
The fact that it was used as a model doesn't make it a model?
When moving goal posts, one generally tends to move them further away.
Correct.
I really don't know how those things are still standing.

Who the fuck cares? If we all gradually die off, we'll all be fucking dead. SO WHAT? Don't you morons think the planet would be better off without us anyway?
If anyone really cared they'd be promoting:
1: Nuclear and hydro electric power
2: Reproduction and immigration restrictions.
3: Development of a space mirror.

How many Slashdotters do you think will actually be old enough to get a R&B reference?
Coal can be replaced by solar, wind, etc.
No it fucking can't. Those energy sources are intermittent. We don't have grid scale storage. We won't have grid scale storage for a long time.
If you clowns wanted clean power you'd be advocating for more nuclear reactors and more hydro electric dams.
Per capita emissions don't matter. Total emissions matter. The planet isn't going to keep pollutants in areas of higher populations, is it? They're going to distribute. Smog from China makes its way across the ocean.
They claim around 330 "monthly active users". I expect it's closer to 30 million.
It's Dogecoin (DOGE). Yes, it's a joke, but it's still perfectly viable as a crypto currency.
