That’s weird, sure but I wanna know what the 3 syllable 1-letter word is.

While I agree your historic lords would be very pricy, there may be some budget options.

• Do people like Michael Flatley - “lord of the dance” count? Not sure what he’s doing now but might go for less than $2k
• What about drug lords?

If we’re going with more traditional titled options:

• There are about 785 lords in the UK parliament per a few websites, which seems like a lot so a few of them might go cheap
• Also you can apparently pay to “Become a Lord or Lady” by buying a presumed title for prices like £195. Not sure its very legally binding, but this seems like a cheap route

Huh, so no help on sea level rise expected from this. I wondered.

Well here’s hoping scientists underestimated the short term impact an unprecedented amount of ice sliding into the ocean over a short period has on crust deflection and we get a fast enough rebound to reduce the impact of sea level rise (without, you know, massive earthquakes and the like)

Nice detail. I assume these rebounds are included in calculations for sea level rise (and yes I understand they can take quite a while to happen)

The way my brother states it is the new moore’s law is the number of ways moors law is defined doubles every 18 months.

Neat, but if you’re trying to say we’ve been saying this same shit for 20 years, I’ll point out from reviewing your own article list that older stuff talks about Moore’s law ending “soon”, and newer stuff saying its already dead. In fact several of the older articles even point to right around now as the end (one from 2011 said early 2020’s, another in 2013 that it’s dead in about 10 years).

This is how I’ve understood it.

Someday if the rate of improvement in “traditional” computers gets slow enough something else may gain enough funding to push it out (graphene or whatever else), but not any time soon and not quantum. Quantum computing a horse that’ll run one type of race extremely well but not all races.
