This is exactly the root of the problem. This world can't hold 2 billion people, let alone 10 billion. We've been over populated for around a century.
There is going to be a lot of pain coming and it's going to be ugly. It's obvious. Carbon - bah - a non-issue. It is merely a symptom of something else gone terribly wrong.
every hour there's about 1000 people added to the planet. That's a good sized town added once an hour... every hour. All the facilities required to service these 1000 people every hour. It's horrifying to think about. No matter what we do about making things more efficient or less polluting, we don't have infinite space on this planet.
a moon base is uniquely suited to warehousing and building for bigger craft that head out further than earth's orbit.
examples: 1) going to Mars from the moon would be simpler, and cheaper. 2) mining on asteroids would be cheaper
Think of it as a lower cost half-way house. Doing the same thing from a space station is much more costly and complicated process. The moon has some raw materials that can be used to construct things like habitats, etc. A space station has nothing.
A habitat on the moon would be relatively cheap to build, and launching from it would be many times less than from earth, I think 36 times less. Ideally, you would only have to transport people to the moon, and everything else could be built and launched from the moon.
A conference is mostly a place for marketing folks to get an idea of what people are peddling. It's a bazaar.
this can be valuable to you and your employer in 2 obvious ways. 1) you will come across products that you would otherwise not search for. 2) your employer will learn about how your product(s) suit the current market.
If neither of these things are something you or your employer care about, then they are useless.
When I send people I ask for 2 things: 1) find one gem of the shared knowledge in the sea of presentations that you can learn from 2) identify the closest competition and see what they are doing different
Really? That's your question? I'll give you a hint: staffing is not the issue. you should look up weeding - this should help. http://www.thefreedictionary.c...
it is not easy to debug, the library versioning is shit via npm so 1 deployment may well be different from the next. finding good libraries is like... you can't scaling is poor.
what is it good for? quick prototyping and experimentation. Fantastic for that.
Conservative economists (when they testify for the chemical industry) believe that the free market is perfectly efficient, so if they can make money doing something, it must be good.
It's hard to believe that this is true, but it appears in so many industries in many variations. e.g. if (name some pop music artist) music is popular, it must be good.
I'll list some for you: 1) smart phones - world changing - 13 years ago with the blackberry when people started to use them 2) human genome sequencing - world changing - 15 years ago - completed 2000, but finalized in 2003 3) digital cameras - world changing - average people didn't start using them until 16 years ago, 1999. 4) LCD monitor - world changing - 17 years ago 5) rebirth of the electric cars - world changing - 7 years ago 6) Linux - 24 years ago 7) Amazon - 21 years go -- and in particular, AWS, 13 years ago.
oh, if you are looking at things when they were first invented, ARPANET is 1969.
all of these things on their own are meaningless, but together change everything we do -- globally. life is very different now because of all of these things.
I think you are mistaken -- 3 is normal. 2 is color blindness, commonly red/green blindness. And by receptors, I presume you mean cones.
Perhaps you are thinking of tetrachromat, where very few people have that 'condition', and Concetta Antico is one person who does... who also happens to be female... with the presumably prerequisite 2 X chromosomes. Eagles are also tetrachromat.
I've done something similar for years (going on 6 years) with a lower powered one. It works great. sits above my furnace (not on it). Auto restarts on a power failure, etc.
My crawl space isn't dusty nor wet as a lot of posters suggest to protect against -- and after 6 years, it doesn't owe me anything -- still going strong.

I have an opinion about that!
your anecdote is interesting.
I have often wondered what effect the new immigrants have on previously integrated immigrants.
God wanted DST, that's why he invented the sun.
yes.
obviously you don't understand time, clocks, nor timezones.
GMT has DST, UTC doesn't
seriously?
use UTC for time. Local time is for lunch

so, i don't care!

Me and my team migrated away from nodejs.

I love apple juice, it tastes fantastic, but you can't fool yourself in to thinking that because it is juice it is magically good.
Of course you can. People are constantly fooling themselves with all sorts of assumptions and dumb ideas. There is no end to it really.
Sadly, people will think something like this is progress.
I don't get it
eggs? lobby group? blogs? articles?
Is it blogs? I guess that is remotely techy?!?

I find that an implant that allows me to securely store data too sensitive for regular computer networks is the way to go.

A 'rocket', sure. But a 'plane'?
Come on! Here is my wingless rock 'plane' and my wingless shoe 'plane'.
It lands via a parachute, just like a... a 'plane'!
(roll-eyes)
heavy publication bias towards positive papers (where significance was found, as opposed to negative papers supporting the null-hypothesis)
I'm afraid all [science] research succumbs to that.
