Although growing gasoline in a factory like facility certainly beats ripping up the world to have the fuel available it really does have a hidden curse. The idea is to get off of fuels like gasoline entirely and this could perpetuate the use of gasoline. I would prefer the research money be spent on batteries than on producing gasoline.
Obviously when they start to compile this kind of data there are going to be millions of criminals exposed to the light. One of the greatest will be tax evaders. Now comes the real issue. Being able to catch so many just what do we do with them? Obviously we can not afford to keep the convicts already in custody. That being said how do we afford the arrest and conviction of millions more? Essentially the government will be stuck in a terrible position. Do they allow criminals to continue being criminals or do they wipe them out secretly?
Think about what will surely happen. Even if we simply stop crime we would throw millions into abject poverty as many people keep above water with the occasional fraud, cheat or thievery or maybe selling dope or illegal guns. Those folks would end up on welfare along with their families. Or they would result to more blatant crimes of desperation. Either way the end result will most likely be covert, police murders or maybe full scale extermination camps. What's a criminal to do?
Parents have used devices to study teen drivers for quite some time as have suspicious wives and husbands. In a way that establishes precedent. Having already accepted the right of one person to track another without their knowledge or consent how could we say it is wrong for other parties to do exactly the same thing? Black boxes for crash studies have been in many cars for quite some time and have been very carefully kept out of court cases in which they could provide vital evidence as to who was speeding or if the brakes were applied before the crash. We also have Lojack type devices that track car locations. It seems to me that we have already let this tiger out of the cage.
When we intercept coke, crack, heroin or other illegal dope we should mix this stuff into it and send it on its way to the streets. It's an opportunity to get rid of drug addiction, one addict at a time.
Just think of the expenses that could be involved if one of these programs screws up. Instead of sell! sell! sell! One could buy! buy! buy! the wrong stock in very large quantities. Instead of a billion dollars in buggy whips one might end up with a billion dollars in donkey whips. What a bummer.
The funny thing is that when lightning bolt like breakthroughs hit people almost never know from whence they come. Somehow I get a pic of a kid with a handful of Raspberry Pi units somehow feeding in and out of a multicore processor with a smartphone somehow involved crunching magical equations that leave my jaw hanging down. It is almost like the mathematicians at Oxford getting mail from an unknown person in a mud hut in India with solutions for equations that nobody has ever been able to do before. Genius is a sneaky quality. It lives where it likes and resides in unlikely meat bodies.
Any large group has dregs. The Christian faith contains many types of people from geniuses to people who are almost fit to be in a shelter for the learning disabled. those that take every word in the Bible literally are the bottom of the waste basket in the faith. It does not even cross their minds that God could use evolution to create the universe and all that are in it. The faith is upheld by those able to understand what a wonderful, lovable, doctrine that was brought forth by Christian teachings. The New Testament is a radical departure from any prior faith or thought system. It is miraculous in its doctrines as well as a miracle in its linguistic construction. The NT may well be the highest use of language arts of any document in all of history. Portions of the Old Testament also demonstrate linguistic and philosophic sophistication never seen before or since its creation. The fruits of the Christian faith alone prove it to be of miraculous quality. Yet all the primitives can see are half sentences that they spew out of context.
The Supreme Court has jumped on Florida more than once for absurd laws regarding the homeless. Essentially Florida tries to order the homeless not to exist. After all if the homeless can not exist on public property and are arrested for being on private property then there is no place at all they can exist. That is illegal. But being that we have major idiots in Florida government simply being fined by the courts over and over again hardly slows Florida down at all. In Palm Beach, Fl. it is illegal to feed the homeless. A church that fed and sheltered the homeless was fined into oblivion in Palm beach. The Palm Beach county sheriff goes on TV asking the public to never give money to panhandlers claiming that agencies do a better job with the poor. Yet those agencies are a nightmare of deliberate, political, malfunction. Even our wretched governor has been filmed stating that they wanted to keep it a secret that 90,000 Floridians were entitled to benefits that they were not aware of. This will not end until the right wing is kicked out of the state. Frankly we need people from all over the nation to help crush Florida government.
You can bet that lots of OSs as well as software allow spy agencies to get inside many computers and my feeling is that it can be next to impossible to spot even in open source OSs. For example some printers have been exploited to hide viruses. You should expect professional computer spies do do a very good job of it all. The only way you have half a chance is to run computers that stand alone and are not connected to any other computer, phone lines, etc.. I would not even bet on those units not being compromised either. Who is to say that Intel or AMD has not been forced to add a little something to your CPU?
Co2 in water forms a mild acid. It could be rather dramatic in its effects on water quality and also if limestone is present or several other kinds of rock the reaction might be rather violent over time. Try growing your house plants on carbonated water and you will rapidly see the problem. Maybe we could pump enough Coke syrup down with the CO2 so that the Earth could spew an interesting beverage. Let's rank the notion of down pumping CO2 as absurd.
When one allows an entity to create fictional wealth all accountability is lost. The first great killer is the allowance of the earning of interest. Loans can not be paid back as private contracts create a demand to print enough money to honor the contracts. If you don't believe it make it a game. Get four buddies in a room and have each loan the next $100. in a circle at 8% interest due in one hour and forbid any money but the eight $100 bills to be in the room. If there are four people in the room then it will take $132. to pay off the loans and that $32. does not exist.
Checking accounts, charge cards, and stocks and bonds all create the same issue. Bank do this as well as they give out loans thousands of times greater than the money they actually possess. Once this stuff is allowed then an ever growing debt and collapse of a nation is an absolute.
All of these schemes exist as so many people fear doing labor. There are always people seeking to scheme to avoid labor or giving anything of value for their wealth. This is a treason against humanity as well as a treason against a nation. Yet we have people that love wars because they invest in military supply firms. Evil is among us.
Just as alchemy eventually led to chemistry the mystics win again. The logic in theology is that God by definition would be the ultimate craftsman. That means no errors and no waste and no undue use of effort or energy.
So just how God make a creation? Obviously endless universes could be set in motion by a science that resembles computer programs. Yes, humanity is nothing but the gorilla with a sledge hammer playing whack-a-mole on a monitor. We do be cyber bro!
This is like a hot young man and a chaste young girl. One inch and it just makes him want more. FEMA seems to be power mad. We do need emergency relief in many situations but how did that translate into a martial like ability to command everyone else? Frankly that is nuts!
As to the drone vs. RC label I think some of these devices are actually a blend of both. Computer chips maintaining the basics of flight while an RC operator determines direction and activity seems to be the case. The quad copters can be easy to operate simply because some functions are autonomous. Even a Cruise missile can get to target and strike without a human operator but there is still a protection in that it can be disabled if a strike is cancelled by an RC command. So it is a complete drone at times but not always.
Excessive consumption means big money for businesses. You can bet they will fight any changes in society tooth and nail. And they will not play nice. To them sharing is just another pinko-commie-socialist activity with evil advocates.
Yes slavery was an abomination. And freeing the slaves without providing for them was as evil as slavery itself. I have seen first hand the suffering of the former slaves in 1950s in the deep south. Freedom in abject poverty might even be worse than being a slave on one of the kinder plantations. We still have large numbers of black folks that need quite a bit of help to step into the present day world and fitting into the world of the near future will be even more difficult. There simply are no easy answers for our woes and miseries as a nation. If we had forced birth control that lowered our population size we might not be able to defend against foreign powers. Frankly America needs to have a far smaller population to have a decent quality of life for anyone of any race or ability.
All of the woes that you mention such as pollution are caused by excessive population. All the programs to try to hold the system together will do little good unless we apply very strict birth control measures to our nation as well as the rest of the world. Then those programs would work out reasonably well.
The people in Boulder Colorado are feeling global warming rather directly today. The people at the Washington Naval Yard are feeling the consequences of over population as well. Dense populations yield insanity, addictions and violence. Yet how can a politician hold office if he dares to challenge the true causes of the mess?
Is it just me or does this confirm that we need to restrict international travel rather strictly. Perhaps all international travelers should be required to use the same point of entry. Perhaps international air traffic should be banned and cruise ships only used for such travel. That way if illness breaks out on a ship we can isolate the ship until the danger passes.
Do we really need international travel so badly that we are willing to suffer more losses than we have had in any war from an epidemic? Although businesses may profit from such travel why should the general public allow it as the risk is to the public and the public is not paid to accept the burden of such risks?
Observation outside the school for criminal activities is a police function. The last thing we need is another police like agency that calls itself part of a school system.
There is a growing left wing in South America but there is also a deeply established and quite violent right wing. For example many Priests and Nuns as well as other Christian workers have been murdered in South America as Christianity is considered a radical, left wing doctrine there. The rich and powerful seek to maintain their positions and any movement that is felt to be a threat to the power of the right wing tends to let lose the butchers. If they see open source as some sort of socialist or communist tainted notion then violent conflicts will surely follow. Even the idea of sharing with others may offend some of the old, stuffed shirt, aristocrats. I can not bring myself to scream kill a right winger for Jesus but I do come close to it.
One might build software that divides text into two files with every other bit going to the other file. Two sending units send the material to two addresses from two addresses. On the receiving end the tennis shoe method is used to deliver both halves to the third party who has the software to decode each half and recombine the bits into a coherent message. It might be next to impossible to break but if it is not next to impossible then divide the original into three files and send the bits and receive the bits just as with the two file plan. It should be impossible to break.
You could make the case that almost all modern life does no good for humanity at all. To my eyes it seems like we are instituting a huge holocaust machine designed to ruin human life permanently. Take a look at the mass of concrete and blacktop called NYC. To suggest that it is sustainable is absurd. To not confront the fact that they are poisoning the public and that the ring of destruction does not reach out into rural areas takes a very narrow intelligence. Yet we have millions of citizens who really want to turn every inch of the world into another concrete nightmare.

NSA and DOD will have a nervous breakdown trying to build a drone the size of a small spider that can make silk.
