I think he's simplifying the point in order to get it across to the reporter. The larger point is that high tides will be higher than before in many places due to the warmer temperatures. This means that the average sea level relative

You also talked about your cousin. About some made up homeless people living in cars that you gave no reference for. You then cherry picked a few cost numbers on costs for schools with no source or context for those numbers. Are those costs

It really depends on your market and what you've learned. There are plenty of jobs that involve making things to put out on the web, which is what "web development" is. But they are all semi-specialised and very few people ca

Yes, lets fault the shoeless refugees with kids for not single-handedly fixing the complex problems in their countries, some of which are caused by US Government actions going back over 40 years. That sounds like a winning solution. Or mayb

There's an awful lot of anec-data and not much actual fact here. The people who deal with the problems mostly think this plan is a good idea. Perhaps you should think about why that is rather than bringing your own personal issues and

1. There's more than 3 samples. And they picked the locations for taking these samples very carefully. 2. They're measuring different things, obviously. One is measuring the mixture of gasses, the other is pure temperature. The ga

After looking at the math a bit (including the one helpfully provided above), I think you're missing alot by ignoring the effect of the rotational velocity when thinking about this effect. The spinning rotation has a multiplier effect

Yeah I think I was still confused about how it works, but I've just decided to snip out my comment instead.

Nobody is chaining themselves to the equipment and preventing energy companies from building more nuclear plants. Heck, judging by the Dakota Access Line protests, that doesn't work anyways in the long run. The reason why more plants a

The problem is that the system doesn't work like that at all. If you have the money to hire an immigration lawyer, then you can probably get this sorted out. However, Texas and other states wouldn't have the ability to directly in

I think most of the people making this criticism are misunderstanding both the intended audience for the article and the point the writer was trying to make. The article was focused on problems Miami will likely be facing in the next 40 yea

Which claim exactly are you taking issue with? If you're going to be pedantic, you need to also be specific, otherwise you're basically asking for some kind of blanket trigger warning about climate change. The article itself did n

Well one of the issues is that no one knows what the sea level rise will be in Miami in 100 years but we do know that the average rise won't necessarily be evenly distributed. Also that geology and geography are against the city in t

The system described in the article is mainly automated. They probably wouldn't need a large team to manage the system or it would be completely unfeasible. Certainly no worse than a giant battery center used to store electricity.

The problem is that what people in the company _as an aggregate_ is valuable, but each job is broken down into pieces that are less and less valuable so that no one person is irreplacable. This is Capitalism 101, and it makes each worker fe

It is declining. Much of it has to do with the way agriculture works in that it takes far fewer people to run than ever before and the pay hasn't ever been good. The ones close enough to a major city to be competitive in terms of housi

So being skeptical of a report from a pro-fossil fuel conservative think tank based on data from an oil company is somehow the same as being anti-American? Corporations <> America Think Tanks with the word "American" in them

Diablo 3 is a good game with alot to recommend it. It wasn't ideal at launch, but they've worked out the kinks and it's still fun to pick up and play. I think the problem is that Diablo at launch was a test bed for some of th

Taken separately, this makes some sense, but they already delivered the hardware on this and put in the work on the designs. It doesn't make sense to fail to even put in the minimal amount of work to update the line in a well run compa

1. No, calling someone a moron does not always mean you're making the claim that they either have a learning disability, or are mentally ill. 2. Trying to make the claim that this word is completely innocuous, is very unbelievable unle

Because the 2nd paragraph of the article uses that exact phrase. Which means that neither of you read the article.

No it isn't. The article mentions alot of science to back this up. It starts with brain scans from mice studies, which suggest that blackouts are caused by cells in the hippocampus failing to make new memories correctly. It then mentio

Every time one of these posts go up, I hear the same arguments about nuclear power. The problem is that the utility companies in the US who make the decision about what kind of power plant to build are all backing away from nuclear. And the

You're wrong. This is a case where whatever you're comfortable with is the best solution. Just because you personally don't know frameworks, or js frontends, doesn't mean the people who do are inferior or less secure. I
