There are reefs in the world with water FAR hotter than the great barrier reef.
Yes there are and they adapted to their environment over a very long time. Thanks for pointing out you don't actually know much about the topic or the reason why the problem exists.
Despite what researchers who benefit from government funding would like you to believe
There is no shortage of government or private funding for researchers in a myriad of topics both for and against every topic. If you think because the government provided funding for research that researchers are somehow biased to producing results requiring a small fortune of government spending and mass change in behav.... wait, that's anti-bias. What was your point here? That the results are the opposite of the expected funding source and therefore should be taken extra serious because researchers are all corrupt and biased?
there is far from agreement that the reef is in any way in trouble
Yeah I know. It's just a manufactured idea from China. Just as manufactured as the idea that you are not a complete moron.

What do they expect if they continue to screw their customers?
I don't know what do they expect? Windows sales that continue to trend OEM computer sales like they always have? Enterprises lining up to continue to buy the enterprise version of Windows like they always have?
Given how Microsoft's profits from the Windows department keep trending general computer shipment and use I think what Microsoft expect is business as usual.
They are going this way hell or high water on both enterprise and retail.
The enterprise has always been subscription based, even back in the Windows XP days. Pay your free and you get access to whatever you want from the MSDN library with X number of licenses.
Who was needing what? Implying that you need expensive tools to manage windows machine? Or is it admins needed tools full stop to manage machines? Like it or not, those expensive tools and their very deep ability to manage every part of the OS are precisely what makes them attractive to enterprises.
Errr LTSB is Windows 10 for enterprises. It's exactly the same windows 10 as Pro except everything under the control of the domain controller. The only things missing (by default) from every other Windows 10 version is Edge and the Windows Store and you can roll those out if you feel the need.
Why is Intel naming all of their new memory products Optane?
This may blow your mind, but it's because all their new memory products are based on the Optane (3D Xpoint) technology. Their marketing department is doing just fine showing that Intel is putting proprietary memory technology in their products.
I don't think anyone is at risk of having the SRT component confused with a memory DIMM just because it has Optane in the name. It's like complaining about the fact that new harddrives all have "solid state" in the title, they also cross a wide variety of form factors and performance metrics.
Chrome's claim to fame used to be simplicity and a light footprint.
The computer's claim to fame used to be it's ability to spit out number on an orange and black screen able to run accounting software. Should we go back to that too because that was the claim to fame?
It was sort of predictable Google would start using their browser market share for bloatWare and lockinWare.
So to be clear you don't want Google to support web standards and prefer the days of IE6 where a website may or may not work in your browser? Got it.
You have a very screwed view of both bloatWare and lockin, neither of which have anything to do with Chrome.
The 70s era tech has nothing in common with the current Lithium Ion batteries, arguably not even the name if you actually call them by their correct chemistry, and sure as hell not the energy density. So that part of your post is completely irrelevant. Heck Tesla is a manufacturer of several different Lithium Ion chemistries for different purposes.
I'm just a little worried about all of the infrastructure decisions being made
Like what infrastructure decisions? I can see precisely zero infrastructure based decisions to date that have any impact on the choice of battery chemistry now or going forward. Superchargers don't care what you're hooking up to them, and manufactures can't magically produce technology that doesn't exist yet, not that their factories qualify as infrastructure. Even the cars themselves have replaceable battery packs, the Tesla one is even capable of being hot swapped (again zero infrastructure for this exists).
any metrics of sustainability.
They compete comfortably now in plenty of metrics of sustainability. Did you have specific ones in mind? The ones that most people freak out about (Lithium) is actually one of the few that's 100% recyclable and also incredibly abundant. The second one Cobalt is the most likely material to be replaced in the next battery generation. So what sustainability problem is there?
Will the market resolve the winners and losers of this race on it's own or have we propped up one side of this beyond the market's control?
Who have we propped up? If anything it's clear in America that you've done everything in your power to keep the entire market held back. Otherwise your question is self resolving. If we only propped up the industry (which is what countries did by NOT specifying any technology but rather specifying cleanliness) then by its nature the market will decide the winners and the losers. If one is unsustainable the market will take care of that.
Is there even room for another player in the game with all of the "enthusiasm" behind tesla?
What makes you think you need another enthusiastic player behind Tesla? If the market is going to change due to some problems with battery technology I will bet you a Mars Bar that Tesla will be the first to resolve this. While we're at it I'll also bet you another Mars Bar that there won't be a technological leap in batteries. People complain that the next leap in batteries never comes but they never bother to compare the performance of their battery at the time with the last time they said exactly that. Batteries have been iterativly getting better since first invented and most new technologies actually start lagging behind the established chemistry before they are refined to take over. There's a reason we didn't have lithium batteries everywhere in the 70s.
What boggles my mind is that this is only happening because of elon musk
No, it's only happening in the USA because of Elon Musk. EVs in Europe have been quite popular and Tesla is a small player there. EVs in China dwarf the pittance that the USA is putting out, and one of it's biggest companies BYD actually bought a vehicle platform a year before Tesla was founded.
I'm happy that Elon gave American car manufacturers a kick in the balls. He has done some amazing work for the world, but please don't pretend that this wouldn't have happened without him.
Actually a large percentage of electric vehicles are coal powered. Electric is only good for the environment if your electric power comes from non-fossil fuel sources.
It's 2018. If you still believe that disproven meme you're either a complete moron or a paid shill. There's is no longer any other justifiable way to describe a post such as yours.
So to be clear you want browsers to not implement standards, and not have functionality needed as more and more software moves to a browser based platform? Got it. May I interest you in Lynx? It's immune to those other things you complain about too.

Unlike using Emacs as an OS, Chrome OS actually is a thing.
Does Google Chrome browser still install system services? If so, I would never use it.
Or you could educate yourself on what it means to have a system service vs a normal program, what they do, and why they run as a service. But no ignorance is far easier.
600 sq ft for a large living room? That's the size of my living room and I live in a tiny arse apartment.
But point is the same. That level of storage is not uncommon for any company that has to warehouse and none of them have De Beurs market cap. This ultimately has nothing to do with their storage.
Indeed, my point is that doesn't make it a self fulfilling prophesy, that just makes it a feature of the system which happens to be universally known. Even if it weren't people sooner chose not to vote rather than voting independents, what does that tell you about your chances? Even if people have already thrown the vote they don't give enough shits.
I'm going to go with the theory that people actually think this through when buying. Did you guess your wife's finger size, have her pick or measure it quite carefully for your complicated ring?:-)
It is a bit like the difference between when I was stuck in America and needed a stop watch where I bought the first cheap arse casio from a petrol station, vs when I bought a nice luxury watch and spent months pondering the exact one I wanted.
By reading this post the reader hereby declares they will send $1 via paypal to the author to compensate the time spent disputing this stupid arguement.
I identify myself as the pope. Are you going to bow down before me and kiss my ring?
Interestingly when you google his name, what do people in general identify him as? Oh that's right Political Activist. It's right there on his own wikipedia profile. Maybe if he identified himself as a journalist he would get that fixed.
Also you calling someone bigot is a bit pot calling the kettle black don't you think? I mean until you kiss my magical pope ring you have displayed just as much biggotry in this thread as I have.
