    So then we're left with an important question: Why did Amazon & Apple dump Supermicro at around the same time?

    The problem with that idea is that China fucking with the supply chain is not an outrageous claim.

    I'd love to see your moral calculus on this. Maybe Bloomberg is wrong, but it's not because they're trying to murder their political opposition.

    Correct: Bloomberg's reporting is lagging real events, but Apple & Amazon haven't come up with a better explanation of why they switched hardware at that time.

    They cancelled their plan to work with China though. They thought about it, did a bit of prototyping to see what it would be like, and decided it was unethical.

    That is quite a spun re-telling of what actually happened.

    Let's reset: Does entropy increase? If so, would human activity, an organizing activity, increase entropy?

    Did I say that "waste heat is the problem"?

  15. The only reason it went down in 2010 to 2016 is due to a recession.

    Ohhhhh, I see, you were aiming at me.

    I'm all for reducing emissions (I'm a solar+pebble beds guy, myself), because it makes sense to reduce emissions to have clean air. But my point, simplified beyond the ability of the greens to notice its wisdom, natch, is that entropy increases, and it's not possible to reverse it. If it took centuries to DO it, it is going to take at least DOUBLE that to get back to whatever the utopian ideal carbon emission is.

    So pack some canned food and a shotgun.

    If we're being intellectually honest, an increase in global GDP will always have waste heat. That's a law of physics.

    And if we continue to be honest, the only thing we can actually do is adapt civilization to higher temperatures. Pretending we can somehow move the heat which civilization generates somewhere else is not going to solve the problem, because the problem is one to which we have to adapt.
