If model members were available, with all the usual measures, thats a fantastic place to start looking at serious inclusion. It doesnt seem thats the case, however.
Im an environmental scientist and engineer with substantial disaster management and policy experience.
One or two very large events can totally eclipse the cost to economy of reducing emissions and focussing on long term stable low emission power. Those very large events are becoming more common. A couple of years back we ran a multi jurisdictional exercise about a high end cyclone hitting the local major city. Even with 4 days warning there was insufficient time to evacuate the entire population of several million, and rehousing was an almost unsolvable nightmare. That city is not cyclone ready or hardened, but the climate models enable high category events travelling where they were previously quite unlikely.
Im Australian, so it also means droughts, water restrictions, and significant increases in bushfire number and severity after a few years of drought. Drought followed by cyclone, or bulk rain events causes catastrophic flooding. Its a shit show.
- tissue rejection - viruses can and do change cell level machinery - cascading malfunctions of small things can have large results
Then theres the ethics of cloning humans and keeping them in a factory. No religion or superstition in this statement, but if theres consciousness or the possibility thereof then this is absolutely monstrous.
Going on what the poster above says about CPU and memory - if the network speed or bandwidth allocation is the bottleneck, then trading CPU and memory utilisation increases for lower bandwidth is likely acceptable. If, however, the device is low end and tying up memory and CPU with compression would lead to sluggish or impaired task performance but the network has adequate overhead for lower levels of compression or higher levels of data transfer then higher network utilisation would be preferable.
Different tools, different use case scenarios.
Client -- Relay Server -- Host
That's certainly less than ideal since many remote desktop session will not be using a middle-age server but rather be direct between client and host.
The model is presumably aiming for an acceptable visual representation, not trying to produce z-ordered components and a lost of any other random requirement people might come up with. The task is to show a pelican riding a bike, not produce a technical design that is layer order correct, after all.

> Near leg: from (300,245) to (356,408): thigh+shin as a single slightly bent line: M300,245 C 310,320 330,370 354,406. Stroke #F2953F width 12, linecap round. Far leg: from (320,250) to (404,452): M320,250 C 350,330 385,410 402,448. Stroke slightly darker #E0802F (behind, drawn before near leg but after bike? Pelican legs are in front of frame? Pelican is drawn after bike, so legs overlap the frame. The far leg ideally would be behind the frame, but in flat cartoon this is acceptable — or draw the far leg before the pelican body but after bike; overlaps the red frame.
More egg on Flocks face and more community backlash isnt a bad thing in my opinion.
The cameras enable good and reasonable prosecutions as much as they do oppressive political ideologies.
That prep doesn't extend to building standards for higher magnitude quakes.
Appropriate prep is still important for a possible credible threat, even if it is likely to be a rare issue, and the magnitude of that prep differs by personal posture and exposure.
Many newer lights are even capable of dinning their pattern in the specific part that affects oncoming vehicles whilst leaving the rest of the pattern bright.
In Australia we have had reverse cycle air conditioning for decades. These are heat pumps that both heat and cool. I have 15kW of installed heat pump tech at home and run my whole house off grid, despite mainta8ning a grid connection. The systems run as heaters in winter, and air conditioning in summer. They are very efficient, enough so that I dont worry about our solar and battery being able to keep up.
The appliances are very common, and Ive seen them throughout much of Asia, too. Its like Europe and the US are just discovering this tech, yet its been reachable by half the world's population for 30+ years, and continues to improve.
Kiribati and Tuvalu have measurable loss of land due to rising sea levels that is impacting people today. About 80% of the Maldives Islands will likely be uninhabitable within the next 25 years. The Marshall Islands have lost 18 out of their average 200cm above mean sea level height - roughly 6% of its land.
We have seen massive glacial retreat even in just the past 10 years, let alone the past 50. This is happening the world over, and at a rate that is not previously seen in the geological record (happy to argue this, thats my background). We are seeing large ice loss and lack of matching accumulation over Antarctica and Greenland - two great places to observe large scale processes. We just saw the Arctic stay largely unlocked for sea ice/shipping last season. The sum of these will take a moment to kick in, but the failure of conveyor currents will kick us all in the arse quite significantly and likely within our lifetime, and we have already seen hiccups.
