You only get one lifetime, do the best you can in your allotted time<\/em> – <\/span><\/span>Not all your colleagues are envious, probably just trying to survive and worried about their families and the world, and barely know you exist. It is possible to work 120 hours a week for years at a time, if you put aside everything non-essential.<\/p>\n

Many things you will have to ignore; if it is less than a few tens of millions of human lives, you probably cannot so anything about it. If you want people to be responsive, play with ChatGPT, it is set to verbose by default and likes to lecture. Responsive to clients, yes, but they would rather you do a good job.<\/p>\n

It is not “massive” but global. You only get your lifetime so you need to be catalytic and the ideal catalyst is not consumed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are many global geophysics, meteorological, satellite, infrasound, magnetic, gravitational, electromagnetic and other near real time global data networks – that together are better than any one network, but all need more correlations and improvements.\u00a0 Closed stovepipe direction means many lost opportunities.<\/span><\/div>\n
