Something that seems to get lost in this discussion is the space requirements for green energy, since the land we build solar and wind farms on isn't free. Every acre has a cost, and it's reasonable to presume that the land costs

While true, I find it hard to believe that moving water from one tank to another is some kind of grave threat to humanity like the article wants the reader to think. In the worst case scenario can't they just put these tanks in a big h

Interestingly the same cost analysis is not used for nuclear weaponry because it is presumed that nuclear retaliation is more important than any economic cost...the important question is if we will view climate change as that same kind of e

While true, my understanding is that the altimeters automatically calibrate themselves to air pressure as well as use auxiliary readings from the radio altimeter to provide an altitude system where 0ft is sea level, always. However given th

It is impossible to know how many civilian lives have been saved from conventional weaponry (including your own) because the threat of nuclear holocaust has nullified any benefits from such attacks. For example, I find it extremely hard to

Sure. At least 1 million per year, because that is the amount of people that die due to the various illnesses caused by coal mining and coal power plants (lung cancer etc.) in the US alone. Assuming the liberal estimate of 60,000 deaths cau

How could it be the culprit? If nuclear material entered the groundwater supply it would be immediately noticeable and a major environmental catastrophe. It wouldn't just affect bees.

Who were these people then? To say that they weren't scientists is to say that scientists can never be held accountable because every "actual" experiment is morally and ethically righteous.

I'll play devil's advocate and suggest that it is a systems error that the 777 accepted an altitude of 0 without sounding an alarm or at least requiring prior confirmation. It shouldn't be that easy to almost total the airpla

Survivors of Fukushima? You mean all of them? Nobody died at Fukushima...or Three Mile Island. President Carter visited it while it was still melting down. Yes, people died at Chernobyl, and we all know why (incompetence and lies). Are you

The phone number being tied to your identity is the entire point. If you get banned from a community are you really going to go to Verizon and ask for a new one every time you want to join again? The alternative is the kind of problem that

I don't know what point you're trying to prove here, since I don't think I've ever heard of Microsoft suing individuals for illegal Windows keys and certainly not in the past 10 years. If you start an LLC and attempt to

Rest assured that we will join the "janitorial class" as soon as our management can figure out how to quantify software deliverables. I give it 10 years.

ls is probably one of the most used command line utilities, up there with `cd` and `echo`. It will be very easy to notice performance degradation.

Hah, it would be pretty funny to give this to a child, but you know what? They'd probably love it if they're leaning towards computers anyways. I know I would have read this front to back if someone gave me this - my first program

I think part of this may be that the Internet is a Western world invention and we're used to somewhat functional governance in the West. In developing countries finding a trust-able entity is far more difficult, and in those instances

IMO this doesn't go away until we get rid of the 8 hour model. Stop caring about how much time (salaried) people are spending at work. If workers participate in meetings, remain reachable during the work day, and meet deadlines, why do

I mean, it would just be a prudent business move once the first PoC comes out right? You know that Apple is going to patch it eventually. It totally makes sense to try to pop a dev box and exfiltrate the source code. The only question is if
