  1. Re:Let 'em go. on Canadian Startup Uses Trump to Lure Tech Workers (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    This little nugget is false, but people love to repeat it. If it weren't for people like Trump there would be no S&P.

    Unlike Hitler Trump has several well adjusted children he seems to care quite a bit about. I kind of doubt he wants to destroy the world they live in.

    It's dumb they should do it like music and have a simple fee and let anyone broadcast it. I guarantee they would make more money over the long run.

    Clearly it's fraud. You know your business won't work but you can get billions in loans- so you run it into the ground while taking a huge salary.

    No he isn't using petrol he would have to import the fuel from Europe which is really expensive. Most likely runs on gas.....

    "You accuse people of hyperbole, and yet you give the worst demonstration I've heard in a million years."

    And your hyperbole is the worst I have heard in a billion years!

    The low hanging fruit in this case is grid power. Also a strong nuclear grid will facilitate electric car adoption.

  9. Re:No amount of evidence is enough on The Arctic Sets Yet Another Record Low Maximum Extent (nsidc.org) · · Score: 1

    With an intelligent switch to nuclear we would see enough benefits that the global warming controversy would be moot. No more mercury emissions, strip mining, decommission the old nuclear plants and reprocess the spent fuel rods (solving a host of waste issues). If you propose a palatable solution than you will bring more people to the table.

    Taxing rich nations for the carbon emissions with no restraint on the 3rd world is ridiculous and nowhere near a solution! If this is the solution than the science is rejected outright. TPTB lie through one side of their mouth 'this is the solution' and through the other say 'believe the science'.

    The problem isn't the science behind warming it's the ridiculous solutions that are being proposed.

    Kill the ban on breeder reactors in the United States and license French reactor designs. Could be done in 10-15 years and cut our carbon output 50%. Unfortunately there is no political will to do what needs to be done.

    Not only that, I've never measured it but I believe that the overall brightness is cut since it lowers the blue channel without boosting the reds. If brightness is what is important it still helps.

    I sure as hell do. I don't have a 4k tv or multiple ways to stream so I really don't care which one it is. All I know is they inadvertently upgraded my account for something I don't need. Were you born a jerk?

    Yes we can implant these in criminals and when their ai monitor detects poor behavior shut off their dopamine. Or schoolchildren.

    I think this has to do with having 4 screens streaming at once, not 4k but not really sure.
