  1. Re:CO2 in paleo times on World's First 'Negative Emissions' Plant Has Begun Operation (qz.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The point of there having been higher CO2 concentration in the past is that there was no "runaway feedback" (which is one of the many spurious, specious, doomy claims of the Klimate Kultists).

    Now mod this post down and commence the personal attacks!

    "maybe I tried to view my profile from the other account"

    That action would probably do it.

    You should add high quality cropping and zooming.

  5. Mod parent funny, just for the agile project controllers comment alone.

    I don't think the steam engine was invented because 'there was insufficient people available for work'. It would have been invented anyway.

    This will open up more time for protesting about social justice. LOTS more time! Yay!

  8. Re:So what? on 'Star Trek: Discovery' Premieres Tonight (ew.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yeah. All the claims of being x-phobic are made simply because being fearful is not a virtue. Calling someone fearful is a veiled insult essentially designed to shut them up and force compliance to the latest bonkers assertions of the SJWs.

  9. Maybe it goes leftwards from the west coast all the way around to Spain?

    Catastrophists don't want to hear this; it interferes with the profitable, righteous narrative. Since the media loves a great doom story the doomers get away with it repeatedly.

    I see the KlimateKult is out moderating early on this one.

  13. "One points out that these winning teams represent a combined population of almost 150 million people, with routes that would link up 53 urban centers around the world and span a total distance of 4,121 miles)."

    Why is this relevant, other than to make some kind of impressive-to-stupid-science-journalist statement?

    And shouldn't the word 'winning' be in scarequotes?

  14. Gaslighting on How Proprietary Software Lets Companies Cheat (locusmag.com) · · Score: 1

    "Increasingly, cheating devices behave differently depending on who is looking at them."

    Great gaslighting tool!

  15. Re:One of the best parts of Byte on SciFi Author (and Byte Columnist) Jerry Pournelle Has Died (jerrypournelle.com) · · Score: 2

    "97 percent of climate scientists"

    That phrase does not mean what you think it does, but carry on anyway.

  16. "they have now decided to impose social engineering on the population"

    And it's not the new definition of 'social engineering' (scamming people for password access) this time, it's the actual meaning of social engineering.

  17. Google's added social engineering to their computer-related engineering interests.

  18. Re:Practice, practice, practice on Do Code Bootcamps Work? (inc.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually it's one of those government-funded training programs. My old profession (process plant engineering design) has been largely rendered obsolete (in the west) at least partially due to automation and off-shoring. 60 - 70% of my peers are unemployed and it's long term joblessness.

  19. Practice, practice, practice on Do Code Bootcamps Work? (inc.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm just now completing an intense three month course: Linux, Java, databases (Oracle). Full-time five days/week.

    There's very little time to practice and what I've learned is mostly how much I don't know. And that I'm a shitty programmer.

  20. Major Projects Engineering on Should Workplaces Be Re-Defined To Retain Older Tech Workers? (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    In major projects engineering entry level tasks have become automated (much work actually is off-shored now as well) to the point where the old, expensive guys are laid off and the younger people (who are more familiar with the sophisticated software) are running the great big machines which prevent them from making mistakes. There is very little mentoring left in this field.

  21. Re:Climate change theory problem on Leaked Federal Climate Report Finds Link Between Climate Change, Human Activity (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    "Honestly this "climate change" issue seems like a distraction from these issues"

    I think you just hit a home run.

  22. But 'leaked' sounds dramatic and if there's one issue that's drama-filled, it's the pending destruction of humanity by anthropogenic climate change.

    Do we know what the perfect climate would be for everywhere and how that could be achieved and maintained?

  24. Warmists won't listen to logic or reason because this is an emotional issue that currently provides a lot of juicy taxpayer dollars as well as an effective tool to bash political opponents with.

    I think the point there was that it has been hotter and CO2 levels have been higher and there was no runaway global warming during those times.
