LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.

Result? CA will continue to import energy that is produced
with far more pollutants than if produced in CA.

Yes, you “don't have 4 years to waste” Left wing extremists in CA should resign, be recalled, or voted out.
"You know, most good physicists believe in the many-worlds theory."
No they don't.
Where do you come up with stuff?

Of course, destroying the earth may not be an ecological reference, it could simply be an admonition not to wage unjust wars, or not to create dystopian, oppressive, or unjust conditions.
Some? This is simply not accurate. There are very few that actually believe the many worlds interpretation. In fact even the many worlds version can be interpreted mathematically and not as actual "other" worlds. There are many other interpretations for quantum mechanics. Quantum foundations has been around since quantum quantum was formulated, and there seems to be no consensus that there is some deeper theory, or that it is incomplete. A lot of the issues are just philosophical in nature and come about when one rejects nonlocality, realism, or assume there must be some hidden variables and so on. It is very difficult to distinguish if one interpretation is actually correct or not. In fact most physicists fall in to the "shut up and calculate" camp, and that is in practice what most of physics using quantum mechanics are doing. Arguing if something is many worlds versus consistent histories is more for philosophy rather than understating most quantum systems. Sure there are smart people who like many worlds on more philosophical point of view, and it is fun to watch Youtube channels on it but it is simply incorrect to say most physicists believe the many worlds interpretation. Perhaps you are thinking of the recent Google Willow machine saying that quantum computing is doing calculations in other universes? Sure the Willow result is nice but these guys got a lot of flack for claiming computing "other universes" . There seems to be a lot of hype associated with quantum stuff right now, likely fueled by all the companies that are pushing quantum technologies and wanting their stock price to grow. A whole lot of this is hype.
