I usually despise corporations trying to get a foothold on Fedi, but I assume ISPs / data center operators should be actually welcome.
I also assume if those corporations cared DANE, alternate DNS root, IP-less routing and such would be much ahead, just IMHO.

As of the 2022–2023 academic year, approximately 469 American students were studying in China, a significant decline from the peak of around 25,000 a decade ago. In contrast, nearly 300,000 Chinese students are currently enrolled in U.S. institutions.
As of the 2022–2023 academic year, approximately 10,812 Iranian students were enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities, making Iran the 14th-largest source of international students in the United States. This number reflects a 16.3% increase from the previous year, indicating a resurgence in Iranian student enrollment despite ongoing geopolitical tensions.
In contrast, the number of American students studying in Iran is negligible. Data from recent years show zero U.S. students studying abroad in Iran, highlighting a significant imbalance in educational exchange between the two countries.
Nothing in the Science article referenced by the OP mention these inconvenient facts about "academic freedom".

Nowhere in the historical record do we find engineers on projects like the Panama Canal or the Hoover Dam pausing to issue public statements demanding emotional insulation or guaranteed personal comfort.
They faced risk, hardship, and uncertainty—not with theatrics, but with resolve.
This current wave of self-centered fragility—masquerading as moral concern—is not a sign of progress. It’s a symptom of a society experimenting with civilizational self-destruction under the banner of safety and ideological purity.
You are not pioneers. You are the product of a culture more concerned with protection than production.

The civil institution of civil engineering in the United States is embodied most prominently by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), founded in 1852. It serves as the professional backbone for engineers involved in infrastructure, structural systems, transportation, water resources, and environmental systems.
Influential figures in U.S. civil engineering history include:
John A. Roebling – designer of the Brooklyn Bridge
Herbert Hoover – a mining engineer who later became U.S. President
Benjamin Wright – "Father of American Civil Engineering," chief engineer of the Erie Canal
Emily Warren Roebling – instrumental in completing the Brooklyn Bridge
Henry Petroski – engineer and historian of engineering failure and design
Despite the diverse personal, political, and religious beliefs of these individuals, the field of civil engineering in the U.S. has remained empirically grounded and technically driven. The integrity of the profession has been preserved through standards, peer review, physical laws, and performance requirements, not ideology. Belief systems have never overruled the non-negotiable realities of material behavior, structural integrity, and public safety—which are foundational to civil engineering’s legitimacy and progress.

Then work from Switzerland—or wherever you believe is “safe.”
If safety is your concern, show us the evidence:
Have U.S.-based researchers been legally prevented from attending conferences abroad?
Are there restraining orders, search warrants, or official incidents that justify the level of fear you're citing?
I read “International scientists rethink U.S. conference attendance.” It was opinion, not evidence.
If you're framing this as a safety issue, the burden of proof is on you to substantiate that claim.
Otherwise, what you’re spreading isn’t caution—it’s hysteria, and it risks undermining trust in the very institutions you claim to care about.

This is exactly the kind of attitude that has transformed Western civic institutions into activist headquarters. From law, education, and healthcare to religion and engineering—virtually every sector listed under NAICS has been politicized under the guise of moral protest.
Shame on those who abandon shared spaces of knowledge in favor of symbolic division. Science, like law and medicine, should not be hijacked by grievance or nationalism—it should stand above it.

A fool's hope. China's Great Famine (1959–1961), resulting from policies during the Great Leap Forward, led to the deaths of an estimated 15 to 45 million people due to starvation and related causes. The famine was primarily caused by radical agricultural reforms, forced collectivization, and mismanagement, rather than external trade factors.
Had China NEGOTIATE with Trump, securing food first and foremost, leaving everything else out of it would have been good governance.

Look what happened after Trump, the POTUS at the time, was banned by Twitter, Facebook and others. He created Truth Social, later Twitter was taken over by the ideological opponents of those banned him.
When you ban people from your network all you do is force them to find a new home. They will balkanize elsewhere. If this is what you want - great. It should not surprise you though, especially about people who are ideologically corrupted to the point of self-destruction.
We have enough self-destructing individuals evidence this, and the result of this is that debates and arguments are a total waste of resources. So you either tolerate them or you mute them, but whatever you do - have no guilty conscience about it before or afterwards.

This is how ChatGPT breaks it down:
Crude Oil Yield Breakdown: Typically, when refining crude oil, a barrel of crude produces various products in different percentages. On average, the breakdown can look like this:
Gasoline: 10–15%
Diesel: 20–25%
Jet Fuel: 5–10%
Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO): 5–15% (depending on the type of crude oil and the specific refining process)
Residuum/Bitumen: 10–20% (this is the heaviest fraction, often converted into HFO or other products)
Other Products: LPG, kerosene, etc.

"we cannot design a Civilization, the best we can hope for is to survive it".
These past regimes nearly destroyed our Christianity-based Western Civilization (CbWC). The new administration will destroy whatever was "designed" to replace the CbWC. The Middle-Eastern Civilization, ruled by Islam, is set to destroy all other. Fucking morons trying to "fix" all this are the individuals who should be converted to plant food because that is their only possible positive contribution to Humanity.
Never in my lifetime the primordial forces, the Law of the Jungle was this pronounced, and I grew up under Soviet Occupation and experienced the end of the Cold War on both sides.

My point was that very large crude carriers (VLCCs) and ultra-large crude carriers (ULCCs) operate on Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), a byproduct of crude oil refining. These engines run at a constant RPM, which reduces strain on both the engines and the tanker’s superstructure. HFO requires pre-heating before combustion, and this is achieved through a feedback mechanism that uses heat from the engines to heat the fuel—a process that can be considered a form of energy optimization.
But again, those engines are large, and I am not sure how this would work with smaller diesel.

2024-12-27 23:19:41

- reply

Oil tankers run on the crude they are transporting, but those engines are humongous, their expected service life is in the decades between rebuilds. Smaller engines are not as sturdy though, and they have higher periodic maintenance demands.
