Yes. (Edit: not necessarily the specific ones you listed, but yes, in general.)

For example, every jurisdictional pipeline project under the Obama admin was "delayed" in a manner that never had to be completed. (Not for the environment, but as a political favor to the railroads.)

Some departments or offices are less flexible in their discretion, as you suggest, but it only takes one out of dozens+ to drag their feet and effectively kill a project.

It has become a serious problem in the last ~20 years, especially as an avenue abused by lawfare type suits. All it takes is the government to not object to the suit, for which there is almost obligation of the executive to defend.

Nuclear detonations are very effective earth movers, perhaps capable tools in an Megascale structure project. See project plowshare. I'm not sure if the energy to make a weapon (enrichment primarily) is less than using conventional diggers and haulers. That is, are nuclear detonations efficient relative to other earth moving methods? Almost certainly.

I can't get in greenwald's head but if I had to make a judgement, I agree with you. The intercept decided not to publish greenwald's piece because the sourcing was too thin (in their opinion and mine, I get it if others don't agree), and he took it personally. I've reacted badly to this kind of thing too, so I get it I guess, but it still makes him a bitter man who can't handle the hit to his ego.

These lawsuits are interesting. It raises questions about who owns what data. FB says your data is yours but then if I share with or tag someone, do they then get a right to that data? I'm not sure they are alleging copyright infringement. It's not clear to me what the law is here or what the law should be.
Also in early times they gave quite open access to the data via API, so that everybody ties to them and everybody uploads data. Once they were big they reduced the APIs and monopolized the data they collected. (Not giving broad access via API is a good thing, see discussions around Cambridge Analytica and others)

To add some spice from the real world, you may find that the local stream has run dry:

Farmers rely on access to groundwater for the cultivation of their crops. but since Coca-Cola's arrival, they have been confronted with a serious decline in water levels. [...] documents from the government's water ministry show that water levels remained stable from 1995 until 2000, when the Coca-Cola plant became operational. Water levels then dropped by almost 10 metres over the following five years.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I think we're slowly approaching that point -- a digital exclusion list that can be implemented by the production company and without actor support.

At least it isn't a new precedent.[0]

Middle/High School in the mid-late 80's here.

Fights were not uncommon. I saw probably 8 or 10 inside school and a handful more after school at designated spots over 4 years in high school.

It was a suspension offense but no police or record was involved.

I won't go into details about my involvement in any school fights, but there were 2 incidents with tormentors at new schools that were quickly resolved and I lived in peace thereafter nor do I regret my actions. Besides I was like 8 and 11 years old at those times.

I don't think those "rougher" times were good and I'm glad there is less of that now. Still (and this might be personal bias), I can't help feeling like we lost something in the sense there is a fundamental underlying biological reality and people are shocked when they find out it actually exists underneath everything and people are more balanced if they learn this at an emotional level early.

I think these are the conditions we evolved under (constant threat of violence and need to deal with it) so even though it's not good and people got hurt and killed needlessly, we are somewhat adapted to that and changing the circumstances makes us a bit neurotic. Or something along those lines.
How to manage anxiety about climate change
It would be.

Anything space based and big enough to rival or exceed planet sizes would take some very interesting engineering and management.

They would take a long time. Technology would advance tremendously during their construction. In fact, their construction might be planned to never end.

The first bits might not even be functional; their only purpose might be to act as a place to build the next bits on to.

Even when we get to the functional bits, they might be designed and built to be replaced, or built over, like Mike Mulligan's steam shovel.

They would also have to be designed and built to be safe even if civilization collapses. An interesting challenge would be to leave behind instructions, constantly updated while we're still around, to any future civilization to be able to "take up the tools" when they're ready.
It is very surprising to see this happen without an order from a court or law enforcement.

It's so weird that someone would say they didn't go to a violent school, but there were constant fights. Violence doesn't mean "weekly school shootings."

I'm working on a new version of my CV (v1: https://cv.git-pull.com)

I keep it at https://github.com/tony/cv. It's in the very early stages

This time I'm writing it in React, Angular, and Vue (TypeScript across the board).

While doing it, I've tried to find various ways to share the chart and data code across all 3 versions. The library I found to make it happen with data akita: https://datorama.github.io/akita/

For UX it's not so easy. The truth is, some of the best UI libraries are framework specific. This creates a lot of fragmentation in the frontend community IMO. For instance react has nivo, victory, and react-vis, but at the end of the day it's svg and canvas underneath the hood. Still though, the efforts are amazing. It makes you wonder what it'd be like if there would be just one agreed upon way to write a widget. (There's web components, custom elements... but those won't even work with typescript out of the box)

In the past few years, that stuff that's been going on with webpack v5's persistent caching, TypeScript (and its tooling), and all 3 of these frameworks getting better is amazing.

Examples of charting software I've tried: https://cv-react-v2.git-pull.com/dev/branch/v2-billboard.js/, https://cv-react-v2.git-pull.com/dev/branch/v2-plotly/, https://cv-react-v2.git-pull.com/dev/branch/v2-carboncharts/

For the first time I've found a UI suite called Carbon: https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/, an IBM thing. I'm most impressed by their chart offering. Even though it's relatively new, they maintain bindings for react, vue and angular.
it sounds so cool! Is there any way to watch the development of your project?

Neither of these are likely to be ideal ways of learning.

From what I recall, research shows that people often believe they have learned a lot by watching a video, but when tested they are often unable to identify the key ideas they were being taught.

Students ideally need personal feedback and a direction to focus on. To be able to ask questions and interact with what they don't yet fully understand. To be listened to and understood.

Remote classrooms can be organised to match what happens in an effective classroom (here simplified): the teacher introduces the key learning goals and to set out some relevant tasks with examples, then walks around the classroom giving their time to students 1-1 while the other students work independently on their tasks (likely in a way that allows them to discuss their understanding with each other, with access to reference materials including the internet), and brings the class together as necessary and at the end of the session.

Being sat together in a Zoom call for an hour (or ultimately many hours a day) is not accurately reflecting what is really happening in a good classroom, except in the presentee-ism aspect.

MOOCs and, in general, sources of pure content are generally not personalised enough to engage most people beyond the first lecture. They can't predict what a student will need support with, and don't proactively act on this - whereas schoolteachers can and do. CS50x is an extremely high quality MOOC and only ~2% of registered students are destined to ever complete the semester's worth of work.

Reaching mastery best will involve using the resources we have in human teachers: teachers to guide learning.
