I'm not saying that global warming is not manmade, and I have also seen quite a bit of the content of the arguments claiming it comes from emissions, but none of them are able to present anything concrete. As you pointed out, the optimistic

Thorium is promising, but I've heard on a TED talk (can't find the link now, it was a talk with lots of data and projection being presented) that even if we were to build one nuclear power plant each day, it would not be enough to keep up w

The article makes some big assumptions. Like for example the idea that switching to the renewable energy sources referenced in the article would solve the phenomenon of global warming. The article references human inertia as the only obstac

You're basically right except I don't think HN does this at present. Good luck convincing PG within the next year... :)

One reason is that if you load the web page, you have to download the UI every single page load. With an app, the downloaded data should be quite a bit more stripped down... but to be honest I couldn't say how the app gets its data. It mig

lol... We got a lot of snow here too. My cofounder was tied up for most of the day negotiating her way through the transit system back home. At least I assume that's what you mean. :)

Heavens, not by any means, "forever marooned." Just for a maximum of 10 years while we get another mission with a return vessel over to Mars. In the mean time, those men and women could establish a fledgling colony there with hydroponics,

Why do the men and women have to be brought back? It adds a big amount to the requirements of the craft to get them there. Perhaps that space, weight, time, and money could be better spent on developing long-term survival and colony-establi

It seems that the point is that Wikileaks apparently broke no laws.

Thanks man! Interesting -- that's actually very similar in process to what we're doing. :)

Confirmed! I find one of the most useful things to do when i'm not making much progress is to take a walk and think about the problem away from the computer. Often times I find a much simpler solution than what I was trying before.

I gave you what you need to know to answer your question... I don't care what a religion says. They usually don't know what they're talking about. I didn't know any religion validated embryonic stem cell harvesting and I am saying that comp

Nope, not Jewish. Only by stem cell. Religions are insufficient in some major ways. But they found time to include a clause about embryonic research, huh?

Good question. If you lay out your options that you know about, I'll point out if there are among them any acceptable ones in my opinion.

I guess I should read his book... but his defitions of engineering and science are not good enough fmpov because there is no matter to verify. A simple example is that you could interchange the definitions and they would not be 100% incorre

People in engineering have to solve scientific problems too... and the author of the article doesn't understand completely what he wrote about. Science is not biology nor physics nor chemistry and it's not truly about understanding the "uni

Oh yeah you're probably right about that. Good work. By the way, any suggestions on that phrase? I'm not a native speaker so my Japanese isn't very good.
