<p>>Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan<p>Surprised Mongolia is not doing the same, seems the City the lab is in is rather close to Mongolia.<p>But until I read the blog, I felt there are no worries since the lab is in a very remote area.<p>If we in the US had a functional CCD and still belonged to WHO, I would not care, but now I am a little bit concerned.</p>

<p>The college I was at in the late 70s had a CDC 6600 which I learned FORTRAN.  With around 100+ sold, I wonder if that was donated to the school from a company that upgraded their system ?  While still at school it was replaced by a CDC 7600.<p>To me, the system ran very well.<p>Sad to see all those computer companies disappear over the years, I think there may be only 3 or 4 left making big iron.</p>

<p>Sounds like a ponzi type scheme to me.   The will "sell" installed existing chips to investors and then lease them back.  So when the chips are obsolete or replaced, what will happen to the investment ?<p>Sounds very shady to me.  But also sounds like what companies do with real estate, except land does not get obsoleted.</p>

<p>All this shows is the Trump Admin has no concept of economic theory.<p>Even if the whole EU release twice that amount now, prices, if they decrease at all before the mid-terms, it will probably be a couple of pennies.  But I expect all it will do is temporarily stop the price of diesel from raising.<p>All it will do is allow Spectators to cash in on profits between now and the midterms.</p>

Plus a good estimate was know when Climate Change would affect the Earth.  Here we are heading to +3.5C, probably 4C.<p>Since when a Carrington type event will happen is unknown, do you really think we would prepare for it ?  That would cost real money, maybe taking wealth from the super rich.</p>

I wonder if the same could apply to water on other planets ?  IIRC, it has to do with minerals or something in water here.</p>
