Well let's see. I guess you never got the memo that they found WMDs in Iraq. https://www.usnews.com/opinion... . Not surprising, the US put them there. So to deny they were there is just pure ignorance, set out by the dishonest press. Even after it was pointed out to them many times that the US put them there, so they're there. Hard to fix stupid.

AGW - Things are warming, not due to man. They used to walk an elephant onto the Thames - http://www.bbc.com/news/magazi... up to 200 years ago. It was already warming by then, which is pre-industrial revolution, meaning it's not CO2, meaning it's not man. CO2 is a symptom, not the cause. BTW, they used to grow grapes in the UK about 2000 years ago during the Roman times - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci... . So we're really returning to where it was. No need to pay a bunch of money to a few leftists that won't do anything with the money other than take it. That's what the Paris accord was about by the way. It didn't do anything by design.

Voodoo economics, that was a campaign comment. Not true. The US saw the largest expansion of economic wealth the world had ever seen during Reagan's term. It wasn't "trickle down", it was trickle everywhere economics. Everyone benefited from those policies.

Then you just get silly. Including your comment on guns. We all know that more guns leads to less crime. More gun control the more crime. It's very definitive.

There's your lesson for the day.

Every worldwide election in recent memory that went or was in danger of going the populists' way has been singled out as being meddled with by the Russians, from Brexit to France.

No one's going to call for a new election because Russians posted stuff on facebook any more than they would've called for a new election after Obama flew to London to campaign against Brexit.

Nobody says men are not getting paid more than women. The claim is that corrected by equal performance, the salary breach isn't as big and might just be attributed to agreeableness. Women on average are much more agreeable that men, and agreeableness makes you suck at negotiations/confrontations. It's not patriarchy. Just psychology and capitalism. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

I also don't know why you try to build a strawman. Nobody forces women to be howsekeepers. It's up to them to pursue a career and/or build family. And the responsibility distribution between couples never was supposed to be equal. It's up to each to figure out the rules of their relationships.

In America it seems the whole Russian thing has been caught up in partisan arguments, but step outside of the US for a moment and you'll see there's likely merit to it, because this is way bigger than just America.

In the UK, Nigel Farage, of UKIP, has for some time campaigned to split the UK out of the EU and has praised Putin time and time again. He's attended meetings in Russia along with other anti-EU European parties funded by the Russians, and for some parties the funding is even explicit - Le Pen's party openly took Russian money for example. Furthermore, UKIP was funded by Aaron Banks, who is in turn married to Katia Zatuliveter, someone who was outed as a spy after she acted as a honey trap for a British MP who was on the defence select committee and who once outed, was described by a Russian general as one of the best spies they'd had:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

Throw in the fact that Le Pen, directly funded by Putin has been to Trump towers on a number of occasions before and after him becoming president, and that Assange, accused as the distribution channel for Russia tried to covertly (and failed with the covert bit) meet Farage only hours before one of the most recent anti-US leaks and combined you begin to see a web of people that have strong support for and varying levels of links with Trump and Putin. This isn't mere coincidence - there's a clear political movement, backed and funded explicitly and implicitly by Putin that aims to weaken Western political structures.

Do your country a favour and put aside the Trump vs. Hillary, Republican vs. Dems thing for a moment and understand that Russia IS trying to influence Western politics and has had some success - Brexit for example was successful in part because of data mining performed by the same company that helped Trump, Cambridge Analytica, and is currently under investigation because it received illegal funding from a company with Russian ties during the Brexit campaign.

This isn't purely about partisan US politics, this is about a web of influential hard to far right politicians acting with Putin's backing - Le Pen, Farage, Banks, Trump, Assange, are all interconnected on this and not by chance meetings, but by explicit, intentional communications with each other. Even outside of the Anglo-American-Franco circle it extends throughout Europe, Hungary's Jobbik, Greece's Golden Dawn, Geert Wilders, as so on - they're all very clearly linked with a little bit of research into this pro-Russian, anti-Western political web plaguing the West right now, and it should be horrifying to anyone in the West that values their wealth and freedom.

You know what we mean: sex offender like a 50 year old football coach groping pre-teen boys in the shower or a 70 year old presidential candidate using pick-up lines on a ten year old.

But if those nanoscale structures are actually robust somehow, then this could be pretty cool.

You should check out some pictures of the stained glass windows still in place in some 14th century churches and cathedrals.

The glass colors are created similarly, by nanotech sized particles mixed in with the glass.
For example, gold particles are the proper size to create the most beautiful color of red.

Of course back then the artists didn't likely have any clue this is what they were actually doing, but the effect is identical none the less.
The mixed in particles are the exact size needed to refract light at the right color.

Just think of the crazy by-chance discovery, or massive trial and error, it took to discover that gold particles of all things would be capable limiting light passing through to only the color red!

My point being, just as you said you suspect, the nano particle structure can indeed be VERY robust all depending on the substrate it is contained within, and we have 700+ year old examples of this still in existence today.
But for the technique in the article, while light on details (pun intended), they are almost certainly not using thick glass as their substrate. I guess we'll have to see if this ever makes it out of a lab setting.

Some interesting reading on the subject:

18 U.S. Code sec. 798 - Disclosure of classified information

As if that's the only law or statute on classified information.

Your claim that there's no "intent" test in the statute is false. Yes, the law matters, but your flawed understandling of the law does not.

Cough espionage act cough. Intent is irrelevant - ask any of the whisteblowers prosecuted for mishandling classified evidence. I have yet to see any of the "nothing to see here, move along" partisans come up for an explanation for why Kristian Saucier is serving hard time for having classified information on his unsecured, unauthorized cell phone - despite zero intent to distribute them - while Hillary remains free. Despite having a vastly larger amount of classified information on her unsecured, authorized email server.

In other words, it had better be a really damn good reason.

People surviving to adulthood had similar lifespans as humans today.

No they didn't. It depends on how far you go back in time, but 130,000 years ago basically no one survived past about 30. That link goes on to note that in Neaderthal culture, you had only about 4 adults past the age of 30 for every 10 young adults. It's only when you get to the early Stone Age that people live long enough to see a significant number of grandparents.

Basically, around the time of the agricultural revolution (where the "paleo" diet supposedly ENDS) is where you start seeing people living longer and actually making it to middle age regularly. Not surprising, since agriculture was probably responsible for making old age feasible, by allowing permanent settlements with more consistent food and nutrition sources and less dangers from hunting and gathering.

Yes, because everyone wants to eat a couple of crackers, a piece of cauliflower and a few slices of meat. Which is considered a complete lunch under the Obama nutrition standards. I don't know about you, but when I was in school I would have been hungry again in about 45 minutes with that little food.

Possibly because most solar / wind advocates (which I am all for) hand wave away the scope problems. Solar and wind are extremely energy diffuse - you need a lot of land to gather the amount of energy of even a modest coal or gas plant.

I'm a big fan of David MacKay's (RIP) work - Without the Hot Air. He, like me, wanted to move to a decarbonized energy economy but he worked out the hard numbers and showed the magnitude of the scope involved. Just to get to 1/6th of the current consumption of UK energy, you need wind farms covering the entirety of Wales - every square foot would need to be within a few hundred meters of a wind mill.

He advocated large-scale energy efficiency measures to try to drive down that amount, but even dropping the UK energy consumption in half (which is already nearly half of the US per capita) still results in a Wales sized wind farm supplying only a third of the power required. Solar within the UK was basically a non-starter in terms of total impact, but if you created a solar farm twice the size of Greater London in the Sahara, you could get another third. Add another 50 of the largest possible nuclear plants and you reach your no-carbon goal.

But all of this assumes enormous efficiency gains. If the efficiency stays about the same, double those numbers. Technology has gotten somewhat better since he died, but not enough to significantly change the numbers.

And proprietary software will be gone by 2030.

Nobody thought a paperless toilet would become reality, but here it is.

This is the kind of dress code that's used:

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix...

Generally, it's enforced in clubs that have issues with "hoodlums". Clubs that have significant populations of affluent black patrons rarely feel the need. They target saggy pants, wife beaters, backwards caps, "do rags", etc.

It's a way to shift the demographics of the club.

Printing in place for these kind of housings seems a bit odd.
If you want to print in place it is probably because it is problematic to transport machinery and material to the place.
That would be disaster areas, but the $1000 IKEA shelter is probably easier to transport there than the concrete, water and printer in this case.
"One shelter is delivered in 2 flat pack boxes, which each weigh about 80 kg." so it can be carried the last distance without too much trouble. And you can transport it on pretty much anything you can find with an engine.

I don't see how a print-in-place house will compete with that.

If you need to print it, do it in a controlled environment where you have a lot of resources and transport it to where it is going to be used.

You can even go for a bit fancier housing if you want to.

This is 2016, not 1942. The technology for detecting and tracking submerged vessels has improved somewhat in the last 74 years. The North Korean subs are basically vintage 1960s era technology, like much of the rest of their military. They're not going anywhere without being tracked and if they approach the United States they will be sunk, war or no war, because nobody will be watching except the ones doing the shooting. Submarines can be accident prone and the Pacific Ocean has a fearsome reputation among mariners. Nobody would have any problem believing that a North Korean submarine had an "accident" while at sea. In fact, the visibility of submarines at sea to the general public is so low that they United States could essentially deny any knowledge. Finally, the North Koreans are so unsympathetic and unpopular these days that nobody would care what happened to their submarine anyway.

Well... here's some news from 2015 ...

Women don't have an expiration date.

So what do you call this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

And before that hits, there is the obvious decline in their physical attractiveness that tends to begin around age 30. Some call it "when women hit the wall". It can be delayed somewhat via a healthy diet, physical fitness, and stable mental health...or terrible decisions (IMO) like plastic surgery. But it doesn't change that men are visual creatures, we are primarily driven by a woman's looks, and so our interest (and the sexual market value of any individual woman) declines precipitously in their 30's as their looks and remaining fertility fade. Why else do you think we see so many articles, WRITTEN BY WOMEN, about how they are single and unhappy? Just as a sample:

If you "run one of your own", you get to pick and choose which one or two others you're going to share space with. That's important. Maybe you want people with complementary interests; maybe you want people with the same interests. You get to choose who you work with, and whether pets are allowed. In the early days, dogs were allowed in most start-ups. Not so much now. It's been shown that just having a dog sitting in the corner doing nothing lowers arguments in meetings. That doesn't happen with the "workbar" concept. And of course, greater productivity means you finish earlier or produce more in the same amount of time. Less stress. More happiness. Just try doing that in a Staples. (mind you, I used to bring mine in while shopping, and nobody said anything because Newfies are enormous)

The right, however, drools, as Conservapedia proves so very well

The right has Conservapedia, and the left has "Rational" Wiki, a cesspit of feminism and other progressive causes.

See, I can smell the bullshit coming from both sides. It's just the mainstream media, as a matter of fact, leans to the left but likes to pretend they are non-partisan.

See this one for instance

More men are raped in the U.S. than woman, according to figures that include sexual abuse in prisons.
In 2008, it was estimated 216,000 inmates were sexually assaulted while serving time, according to the Department of Justice figures.
That is compared to 90,479 rape cases outside of prison.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...

On top of that, a large number of rape victims in prison are repeatedly raped over a long period of time, as opposed to most rape victims outside of prison.

The whole "rape culture" propaganda points a finger at men in general, ignoring that many men are also victims. For some reason it's politically correct to say that the vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists, but at the same time "men" in general are guilty for the alleged rape culture, even though the rapists are a tiny proportion of the male population.

Perhaps the government ought to produce those orphaned drugs themselves

Could you cite a few examples of where the government proved to be more efficient at producing a product or delivering a service, than a privately-run firm?

drug companies that are charging prohibitive amounts to citizens

The hate towards the drug companies is misplaced — and whether they are sinfully greedy or not is irrelevant. The simple fact is, had they not existed, the drugs would not have existed — unavailable at any price.

If only K of something — anything, from LeBron's sneakers to life-saving medicines — is available despite there being N people desiring it, then whichever way you pick to distribute it:

• Lottery
• Charge the highest price at which there are still willing buyers
• Minorities first
• Government employees first
• Celebrities first
• ...

  N-K people will still not receive it — and no amount of "outrage" will help.

  The only hope for the rest is that the second method — charging whatever the market will bear — will be chosen, because then the profits (however "obscene") may be used to produce more of the stuff... Incidentally, Capitalism is all about the second method and that is why we tend to enjoy an abundance of most things — to the point, where some people are already talking about "post-scarcity".

Too much Hollywood. I can't be the only person on /. that remembers Aloha Air 243

You're not going to get a large enough explosion out of a device the size of an iPad that's going to blow any where near the 1/3 of the top off of a 737 like there was in that case. That flight was at 24k feet. The only person who was "sucked out" of the plane was a flight attendant who I believe was standing under the part that came off of the plane. There were injuries, but the plane landed. While the pressure is certainly different at high altitude, it's not like these planes are flying in the vacuum of space.

that was from 1988 wasn't there an explosion mid-air rather recently that only the terrorist got sucked out and the plane landed with no other deaths.

Man sucked out of passenger jet after bomb exploded was suicide bomber who smuggled his device on board in his WHEELCHAIR, claim investigators.

The bomb they think was in his wheel chair and it didn't really make that big of a hole considering.

You're going to have to put up some kind of evidence for that. The millenials are used to having nothing, which is what their parents (and their parents' parents) left them.

Okay let me offer you some evidence then. Picture the tent cities and bread lines of the early 1930's. These kept the economically displaced persons during the depression alive. For that matter imagine the tenements of the 1910s and 1920s. If for example in modern American someone proposed that we could save a bunch of money by replacing public housing with something a lot more like those tenements and we should just get rid of SNAP and replace it with bread and soup lines they would be branded as in humane.

If you won't accept it would politically impossible to impose that level of austerity on today's welfare recipients consider many places its already legally impossible, you are not allowed to create a residential unit without at least one toilet. So a shared bathroom for an entire building won't even fly legally in much of this country.

This was a perfectly acceptable standard of living at that time, today people would riot. Heck in the EU the refuges are burning down their free housing because they don't like the assortment of candy available, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new... .

  People on UBI will look at the nicer things the earners have, they won't be able to get jobs because they won't have any skills they can offer that automation isn't meeting. They will either let their jealousy drive them to despair or they will develop a sense of entitlement and decide they should have those nice things too! Its human nature.

Now lets talk about your millenials who are used to having nothing. They are not used to having nothing. They are used to attending universities that look like amusement parks compared to fifty years ago. They are used to paying for this with unsecured loans, which they than ask (and when polled indicate they anticipate) forgiveness for. That is not having nothing, that is having it all and not working for it. Once the graduate they move back home and continue their comfortable if freedom lacking existence.

No, that's just your imagination.

No imagination there, you just validated my statements, the problem is that you won't look, so you claim not to see it. Hence the impasse.

This is all you wrote: "On News Corp platforms, Breitbart, twitter, 4chan, all sorts of places? Just look for all the hand-wringing over "BLM" and "Anti-Trump" riots, against "Planned Parenthood", all the "Birther" claims, and you''ll find it."

That's not a citation of the right trying to get BLM get kicked off of YouTube or stopped from speaking at colleges. Learn what a citation is. Link to something concrete.

So your complaint is what? NewsCorp, Breibart, Twitter, 4chan aren't concrete? I will grant that "all sorts of places" is, but not the other four, and I only included the last to emphasize that I wasn't trying to be comprehensive. I thought that was clear.

You can go to any of those places and find it. But you won't. You could look in other hang-outs of the violent right-wing, but pardon me for not exploring their depths enough to name them further.

Heck, you might even contact your local paper and ask to see the letters they won't print. Might open your eyes.

Here's an example of a citation where the authoritarian left shut down the free speech of a speaker on the right.

Did you forget that Milo is on the conservative black list now? But in case you didn't get it the first time, I'm not terribly impressed that Milo can hire agent provocateurs to create a disruption, but he's on the outs anyway.

And you're still an idiot. I was responding directly to articles you referenced, said I looked, and condemned the violence. If you want to pretend I wasn't talking about right-wing violence then that's on you.

If you want to pretend that you were able to make a courageous statement about how you denounced right-wing violence, well, that's a lie I don't have to countenance. You actually didn't respond directly to any of the articles' information, or show any effort to do anything except twist their content for your own purposes. Even now, you're still more insistent on attacking me for holding your inability to directly and forthrightly condemn right-wing violence against you.

It's revealing something about you, the same as Trump's handling of David Duke told us about him. Or his wiretap claim. Or his inauguration claim. Or his healthcare defeat. Or his NATO stunt with Angela Merkel. Or his calls to murder the Central Park 5. Or his executive order.

So what we know about you, is that you're angry and resentful that you have to make the effort to condemn right-wing violence, which you would much rather pretend doesn't exist, and sweep under the rug. You just want to be left to rail against the left in peace. How dare anybody point out to you that you are wallowing in an iron cauldron yourself.

Because my point was that the original comparison was deliberately chosen after 9/11. And even then the numbers are still comparable, despite that Muslims are only about 1% of the American population.

So your point is that you really want to avoid the decades of history of right-wing violence? Doesn't help you much, the violence is still there, even if you ignore the Whiskey Rebellion and the American Civil War. But I'll let you ignore Charles Guiteau and Leon Czolgosz, as long as you don't try to pull an Anne Coulter about them.

That Islam is a hateful ideology is a matter of record, based on the scriptures, preaching, history, and practices shown throughout the world today.

Did you know you are a little behind the times. CO2 is no longer the big threat (yes, man made global warming is real), methane has become an extreme threat due to global warming. No longer just melting permafrost from Russia to Greenland but the Arctic sea itself http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci....

Peaks in weather reflect changes over time as the ocean absorb heat and warmer seas impact weather.

Now the interesting period starts, where peak weather events, can now become extremely dangerous. A extreme high temperature weather event can trigger a mass release of methane, which will feed into that event hugely exacerbating it. Will it occur and when will it occur, have fun with dice because it is a far more complex event than simple climate modelling, in comparison.

How bad could it be, how about a decades worth of melting in a season due to the location and the impact of methane on heat retention. That weather event could trigger a climate event that could last quite a few years, and a century of sea level rise could occur in those years. Cheer up, after the even is over the methane would start breaking down and the planet would start cooling due to ocean absorption of heat and mass cloud formation, reflecting sunlight. Of course reasons to celebrate might be a bit muted with coastal areas under more than a metre of sea water (that metre could well be a huge low ball guess). Time to panic, well I would genuinely recommend not investing in likely underwater properties. So places in the world in far more danger than others.

Note: Available at a lower price from other sellers, potentially without free Prime shipping.

New (61) from $4.99 & FREE shipping.

I've tried the "Clear your cookies and check pricing" trick after other people have said that Amazon inflates prime prices, and haven't seen any difference for Amazon fulfilled products between what I see when I'm logged in and when I'm not. I'd be really surprised if Amazon actually did this since it would quickly be discovered and would cause a backlash.

Its a total scam dude, that is why Amazon is being sued over Prime. Log out and then look at the prices of several items, note them then log back in and see what the prices are. You'll find your Amazon Prime membership will often raise the prices on items so you aren't saving shit, its just a shell game and all you are really getting for the $100 a year is the streaming service.

Personally I don't think their content is worth anywhere near a c-note a year so I passed on it but YMMV.

>> Cancer is NOT among the issues here...

In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), declared cell phones a Class B Carcinogen, meaning a âoepossible cancer-causing agent,â based on the available research.
