We haven't proven a lot of things through full-scale experiment - like gravity and most other things related to astrophysics for example. How do you feel about those? Pure speculation?
Nothing happened, I don't see the conflict. The atmosphere got hotter because of the amount of CO2 in it, not the amount of sunlight coming in. But reducing the amount of sunlight coming in can still cool it.
Nothing that mankind has control over is more likely to cause mass death than continuing to contribute to climate change, except for maybe starting a nuclear MAD scenario, so any death enthusiasts using green energy to get their jollies are going to be sorely disappointed.
Their best bet might be waiting for someone to fall from a solar or wind installation, and they could be waiting a long time...they'd be better off waiting by the Golden Gate bridge.
I've found that the best way to back up a video is to upload it to Youtube and use the CC license option. A million other accounts will quickly re-host the video with paid advertising on them.
Long into the future, when alien archaeologists are trying to piece together knowledge on the civilization that used to exist on this planet and haven't even figured out any of our languages yet, my little GoPro sports videos will persist.
So far we've had a partial meltdown that hurt nobody, an "accident" so cartoonishly stupid that it should more accurately be called insider sabotage, and an outdated reactor that was hit with multiple extreme natural disasters simultaneously.
These emotional knee-jerk reactions from Japan, Germany and others are counterproductive and could hurt financially if any kind of global carbon-trading scheme is put in place. Besides, I prefer my nuclear waste nice and contained rather than flowing continuously from the smokestack of a coal power plant.
He also asked what protections have been provided to ensure that information computers gather and often transmit wirelessly isn't used in a harmful or invasive manner."
Same as in the tech industry - somewhere between "absolutely none" and "we intentionally use it in a harmful or invasive manner, that's our business model...and the NSA demands access too."
If the MPAA disbands because of North Korea's actions, that could clean up North Korea's and the Kim dynasty's image overnight! We'd praise the Glorious Leader as a great hero of the people!
(I'm joking...they do run death camps which are at least as bad as the MPAA)
I'm surprised "Redandwhite" offered to accept a 6-digit payment in bitcoins just like that, as his first ever payment. That should throw up big red FAKE flags to anyone.
I'm wondering how the hell testosterone is supposed to increase your lifespan. I've only seen evidence that suggests testosterone will decrease your lifespan.
Maybe the new path to the middle class will be in selling doomsday bunkers to paranoid trillionaires.
Too late, this business picked up in a big way not long after the Great Recession hit. Wired had an interesting article and photo gallery on "luxury doomsday shelters" but I can't find it now.
Same here. This is the second time I've heard of NZ being used as the real-life Elysium, and the first time I thought it was a joke. NZ is going to be among the first of the first-world countries to revolt, they're not an economic powerhouse. 1%ers would land on their airstrips to find their compounds looted and burned, and walk right into an ambush ready to Gadhafi them, if they don't find an IED in the runway first.
Freedom Ship was actually a clever idea. Basically a floating Elysium station. If they're really clever they could even get protection on our dime in the form of a few battleships.
The iPhone was far from the first smartphone. It was the first dumbed-down smartphone-like toy. You could argue that it was the beginning of the end for real handheld computing rather than the shitty cable-TV-like experience that exists today.
The first smartphone was the Handspring Visorphone.
The big problem with building a cluster out of anything but bleeding-edge processors is that the flops-per-watt is going to suck so much compared to a new cluster, that you might not save any money over buying that new cluster.

We can adjust outdoor climate with greenhouse gas levels as we've been doing, or with aerosols as discussed in TFA.
There's no such thing as "fairness" - it's a fairy tale concept that causes humans far too much suffering.
Funny, that's what I think about denying that fairness is possible.
We have some control over weather and climate, tinfoil-hatters notwithstanding.
Major city? More like those of us who live within easy driving distance of civilization.

Some low-altitude footage of the death camps would be a good thing to do...so far there's only satellite imagery and witness reports to go on.
It would be about a little girl who can code, and has the superpower of not asking for a raise!

Yeah, the people who need help getting jobs most are hipsters in the world's top startup hotspots. Great work, guys.

That's Scribd's business model. Scrape every PDF they can find, shit up your SERPs with them, and then hope you'll be dumb enough to pay for access.
