She won't grab the tinfoil vote that easily, she'll have to wrestle it away from Trump first, but it's still a clever idea.
Trump has easily become the darling of the tinfoil crowd even though he's done little to court them - utterly denying global warming and supporting 9/11 pseudohistory are the only pro-tinfoil moves I can remember him making. Maybe they buy into his "maverick" image and therefore think he doesn't have ties to the illuminati/lizard people etc.
I was doing DevOps before it was cool, and now I'm doing it after it's obsolete. Warby Parkers and luxuriant 1800s facial hair should spontaneously appear on my face any second now.
They're following the same kind of logic that makes Donald Trump think that Bill Gates can kick ISIS off the Internet, so they think that all you need to do is find a prominent personality somehow related to darknet technology, go into his basement/office, and use a convenient control panel/big red button to make the necessary change.
So we've got something that can be used for bad things and is pretty much useless for good things that matter unless you're part of the under class. Good luck with that.
So I assume journalists and whistleblowers are part of the "under class" along with all the people living under oppressive regimes you mentioned?
[Tinfoil] It's not a real randomizer app, it's an advanced layered neural network program (IBM...Watson?) that automates racial profiling so that TSA workers are in the clear, they can say the machine made the decision for someone to go through heightened security, "at random." Teaching the program to pick out the right minorities took a lot of work. [/Tinfoil]
Why would people who have no need to work and have everything provided for them act like your stereotypical ghetto inhabitants, when that doesn't match their situation at all? In the ghetto people have nothing provided for them and a desperate need to work (to meet basic necessities) but no opportunity to do so.
Instead maybe you should look at trust fund babies. They have everything provided for them and no need to work. They pursue creative and philanthropic pursuits and enjoy themselves with leisure activity, and mostly don't get into trouble.
Also I pity you, that you have no meaning in life other than to work. For most people (including myself) work reduces meaning in their life, which they derive from non-work interests. Very few are paid to do what they enjoy, and most do what they enjoy without being paid. But you wouldn't. That sounds like severe depression in fact.
That's technology trickling down again, which side are you arguing for? The modern computer-owning worker makes less than a less technologically-endowed worker would have 30-40 years ago, adjusted for inflation. At the same time, the number of people who collectively own half the world's wealth could now travel together in a double-decker bus, and nobody would have to stand.
Wealth sure as hell doesn't trickle down, it rushes up.
I think the hardest CEO to replace would be Steve Elop, because he's such a perfect machine of destruction. His work is an art form that would be difficult for AI to replicate.
I wouldn't say it's solved forever, but it's certainly nothing we'll have to worry about for tens of thousands of years. If CO2 is returned to pre-industrial levels - the ideal goal in addressing global warming - an ice age could happen again just as easily as if humans never altered the climate.
All you need to do is register the site in China? That's no big deal! I'm going to register tiananmensquareandindependentpollutionlevelreadings.com today!
Sometimes it's called a thermal oscillator. Basically, you just look for some kind of thermal thing on the surface, and if you don't see one it means you either need to go inside and blow up its reactor, or kamikaze-attack the bridge so it will crash into something.
In the very long term we will indeed need to completely control the climate. Today we have to correct man-made climate change, at some point in the far future the earth will begin to enter an ice age and we'll have to prevent it. We may have to move as much power generation capacity from fusion to natural gas as possible. People will even debate bringing back filthy, filthy coal power.
However I do wonder what a mess of a planet my kids are going to inherit, and the kids of the morons that run the evil carbon spewing activities, do these guys not worry about that?
No they don't worry about it, their kids can afford to move to wherever is safe and has a nice climate, even if it's some luxury arcology on the ocean or in space.
Change coal to nuclear and renewable (China's on it already), switch ICE cars to EVs. Those two will help immensely. Taxing oil heavily may be helpful at some point in that transition. We've already stopped the sale of appliances that aren't super-efficient, and switching to EVs will do the same to cars, since EVs are 95%+ efficient and ICE cars are around 30%. Further in the future, carbon sequestration will be necessary.
If nothing changes then some new phenomena must've taken effect, because we knew well enough what's causing the warming right now that there isn't room for such an oversight to exist.

It's a disturbingly plausible idea that Trump's hair is actually an alien brain parasite.

Yes, and those poor American workers from circa-WW2 to the early 80s cried all the way to the bank, until Reagan saved them from their plight.

"Oh, the fools! If only they'd built it with four-factor authentication! When will they learn?!?"

Semantic pedantry - any form of climate denial is equally bad and they all rely on a conspiracy theory.

If you look at the even bigger picture, all energy is non-renewable, unless you can decrease entropy.
Thanks, saved to my phone for later!
Exactly. Let the employers either pay people a livable wage, or replace them with robots and hasten whatever correction is coming.

What happens is that we'll replicate the Terrafoam scenario from Manna:

Better yet. it could be a good way for Americans to cover their healthcare costs!

Our civilization is already set up for pre-industrial temperatures (our closets & coat racks are just a tiny fragment of this infrastructure), and the ideal temperature for economic productivity is 13C.
Also most places, even if considered in isolation, will not be positively effected by global warming in terms of crop yield.
However I do wonder what a mess of a planet my kids are going to inherit, and the kids of the morons that run the evil carbon spewing activities, do these guys not worry about that?
No they don't worry about it, their kids can afford to move to wherever is safe and has a nice climate, even if it's some luxury arcology on the ocean or in space.
