While teens may humor their parents in claiming to be more tech savy, the big drop-off in new tech adoption is over age 70 according to a PEW study. I dont know whether it is cost, learning difficulty, or conservativism. I've noted this pattern among people I know.
I agree that in terms of emissions commericial flight miles are close to car miles. However I usually fly much further than I drive per trip or over a year. That jacks up my carbon contribution considerably.
Bitcoin advocates getting desperate I see. To gain credence a non-government computer currency should build a big foothold in an established economy first.
The first crowdsourcing seismology was called QuakeFinder. It used mems in laptops or special mems mini-boards for desktop computers. The second generation is called MyShake and is a cellphone App. QuakeFinder establish the proof-of-principle for crowdsourcing. They registered quake signals and could use public internet to accumulate results. Quantity of sensor compensated for lower quality of sensor.
The advantage of dedicated wall cellphones is they'd be attached to something solid like a wall instad of a persons pocket. And there would be continuous uptime without the phone used for something else or out of juice.
If here my seismology classmate Lucy Jones say that quake happend on a "hidden fault" I'll be very disappointed again. This explanation came from the USGS for about half of the large earthquakes in California in the past 30 years. Yet the oil industry routinely runs 3D sound-tomography surveys to routinely find oil-related faults. The problem is that each oil industry survey costs over $10M. The USGS or academia cannot this cost. So they cleverly try alternative experiments to find what they can. But they dont really find the hidden faults out there.
Japan 2011 was M9.0, Nepal M7.8. Each whole magnitude number is 32x the energy. Japan gets M8s every century and is well prepared for that. The 2011 quake was the 5th largest every in 130 years of seismographs. Japan didn't expect that size of quake was possible and it's tsunami walls weren't tall enough. The Japan quake was three historical faults breaking at once, contributing to its large magnitude. Because a similar multi-quake occurred in Sichuan China recently, seismologists are more concerned about a multi-quake breaking California.
Being a poor country, Nepal did not design for even a smaller quake. Routine M5 quakes in California merely crack plaster, but shatter buildings and kill in underdeveloped countries.
Genetic castes of humans more suitable for various jobs. A moron class did the tedious chores. In addition there drugs like soma to dull the boredom. Our society has lots of those too.
It is not near any current modern plate boundaries.
But there an ancient boundary where the huge 1812 quakes occurred in Missouri.
Plate boundaries are a tautology (circular definition): they are defined by linear zones of seismic it's; in turn they define the most likely future quake locations.
1) Raw B&W intensities through a non-filer or color filter.
2) "True color" processing to match the colors on a reference image painted on a probe wall. Took a while to confirm the Martian sky and sunsets are different colors than Earth counterparts.
3) "Enhanced color" contrast jacked up to reveal more details like cracks and nodules.
The debate whether math is created or discovered goes back at least 2400 years to Plato. He fell on the side of discovering eternally existing ideas.
The suspect the full spectrum of mathis a combination of both. Some of the more complicated proofs sound more like engineering.
Mandlebrot magnificiation blurs out when you use single-precision floating point. Double precession gets you about another 25 powers of two. I'd go for 128-bit precision to really explore Mandelbrot. Its rarely implemented in hardware or software.

At least show both parties are conscious and not unwilling. But I ma not sure how to avoid falsifying consent, say of a stoned person. This app probably just kicks the stone sone the road a little.
If someone loses their employment becasue this app is misused to punish someone, is the author liable?
Common carriers are generally immune to the content passed through them. ISPs are partially immune. But DRM, drug trades, underage porn without due dilligence can get them in trouble. But what about software authors?
Electromagnetic force created chemical bonds and the illusion of substance in normal matter. Even though normal matter is 99.9999% "empty", EM chemical bonds keeps solids and liquids from interpenetrating each other. Since dark matter doesnt seem to have EM chemical bonds, it just difuses through the general emptiness of normal matter. It just may make us feel a little heavier than were really are from just normal matter.
To get likely first use age. Another example. oldest clothing evidence is about 30K years. But lice genetics points to clothing lice evolved about 70K years ago.

I thought train travel was until I poked around the web.

Before there were smartphones, but after laptops had motion sensors. I could not locate the date of this ECD comic.
Correction it is called QuakeFinderNetwork now, not Quake FInder.

For his naivity about the the consequences of his actions. Hasn't improved since his exile.

That could cost oil companies and farmers more money. It is likely the waste will have to purified like sewage into clean water and toxic solid waste.

Injection we'll induced quakes caused by

If it can be shown the kid infected and damaged another kid. Maybe peole will respond to money.

I dislike the two-sytem status quo too.
