Similarly the sun won't last forever and is not renewable.
So what?
Latest is that the expansion rate of the universe is slowing. So, one might predict a big crunch and the end of everything. So what?
Looks like someone wants to get eyeballs for ad revenue. No thanks, not with that story.
Stories of the form the sky is falling no longer get my eyeballs. People who write such stories need to find other, more useful work to do.
- TFortunato 9y agoDid you even read the story... it's not a "sky is falling" story. (A Miami is falling story, maybe :-P) It's really more of an interesting look at a resource that few in our part of the tech world even think about, and some of the challenges they face, if you can look past the headline.
- graycat 9y agoNo it's not: Wake up. You've been taken in. It's just "the sky is falling", or "Oh we've got trouble, right here in River City. Trouble starts with a T and that rhymes with a G and that stands for gravel." It's just a scare headline and story to get eyeballs for ad revenue. The good news about such nonsense grabbing people by the heart, the gut, below the belt, always below the shoulders, never between the ears, is that it really is the most scary story they can find. So, all other stories they can find are less scary than their story which is not scary at all which means that all is well. Good. Maybe if there is some serious problem, then they will write about that, too.
