@jonathan_wilke There was a great episode of corecursive podcast with the author of powershell. After he left some microsoft engineers reached out to him to let him know that without it, microsoft azure cloud would not exist.

@AusThinkingGirl @CraigSarg73 Oh dear. What happens when demand remains but supply goes down? That's what supply shocks do. Word salad indeed. It means international capital can do what it likes, endless mergers and acquisitions monopolising, monopsonising, setting higher prices.

@AusThinkingGirl @CraigSarg73 Government has a hand in inflation but we are also in the middle of a global predicament involving supply shocks, tariff regimes/trade wars, post-peak debt financed resource extraction, and a new gilded age of unaccountable capital accumulation in bribed tax havens.

@zkwhited @josevalim It would have been, except nobody wanted to hang out with Norbert Weiner

@aibasehub @ihtesham2005 And years later Jose Valim was sick of debugging concurrency in the Rails core team, went on a personal quest for something better, found Erlang and realised it was a hard sell, so created Elixir.

@David_McMahon75 Guess what... wages aren't keeping up with inflation and you only get one mind, one body, one life.

@SustPopAus @independentaus I don't disagree on population being the underlying driver either. Population policy is a very tricky thing, China's one child policy has grossly destabilised their demography. Turns out economic security and women's rights are the best levers, but those are under threat.

@doubleunplussed It could be very profitable to put data centres in space and still be disastrous to do so. The great rise LEO satellite count has serious implications for upper atmosphere chemistry, from the ozone layer to global heating. But who cares if there is short term profit?

@SustPopAus @independentaus True they are putting a slant on it but your response missed their main point. Our fossil fuel exports and to a lesser degree consumption contributes to a rising tide of climate refugees. A stable climate is a prerequisite for future economic, political and demographic stability.

@NuryVittachi All too often in total war, soldiers are sent to an area with an explicit or implied directive to autonomously kill every human they find. Doing this with drones changes the economics. Also, all Russia has to do is get off Ukrainian land and this will stop.

@WormsofWrath @RogerHallamCS21 Anyway it was nice chatting. You obviously have a slant on things in favour of business as usual and think entitling will be fine. I think the current situation is unprecedented and the risks are much higher. Pointless to go on sniping.

@WormsofWrath @RogerHallamCS21 I was trying to say we do not have a high resolution timeline of the rates at which different factors changed. Once it stops it doesn't just reboot in a year, a decade or even a century, especially not when forced anthropogenically. Meanwhile we have 8 billion people to feed.

@WormsofWrath @RogerHallamCS21 But we don't know how much fesh water it took for the process of stopping to become self reinforcing. All we know is it stopped and around that time there was s lot more fresh water. Guess what is on its way into our oceans this century.

@WormsofWrath @RogerHallamCS21 Bulldust. There is positive and negative feedback in natural systems. The AMOC has shut down in the past and it is likely to again. Positive feedback can drive a system to the point many species go extinct, before other process are able to balance out the change.
