The priesthood has spoken. AGW acolytes will be along shortly to mod anyone to -1 who dares question the IPCC Assessment Report holy book. The unadjusted data will be kept under lock and key while everyone is instructed to accept based on faith that the oceans are warming rapidly. The AGW cult is even more profitable than the LDS cult, and this will no doubt be used to justify even more wealth redistribution.
Richard Muller & his team looked at a truckload of "unadjusted data" in his examination of the surface temp record & came to the same conclusions & roughly the same trends as NOAA et al. Looks like the raw data lies as much as the adjusted. As for wealth redistribution, Trumpcare is trying to fix that by giving an $800 billion tax cut to the 1% & will deprive about 20 million Americans of their healthcare
I'm happier to hear about increasing numbers of electric buses. I'd buy an affordable EV but a single EV bus probably emits less than a diesel bus + 10 cars combined. Well, perhaps not everywhere in China with their huge (but declining) coal-fired electricity generation.
Elon was hedging whether they could get the 1st stage back from this launch and when it did he said it was a hard landing and used up almost all of the emerg crush core. I suspect this one may not get used again or will need a more extensive refurb which may not be worth the cost. Welp, one more launch for them on this doubleheader weekend. Let's see what happens on Sunday which should be an easier recovery.
I can barely tell them apart. Even his current (or is that recent?) gal Amber Heard fits comfortably into the mold. Haven't seen someone with such a strong type preference since John Derek (Ursula Andress / Linda Evans / Bo Derek)
Burning books isn't censorship unless the government is doing it. You're welcome to have a bonfire anytime. As JK Rowling would say, by the time you're burning books, the author already got your money.
Not long ago, JK suggested to one angry critic that she he should also burn her DVDs - and generously inhale the fumes
Go was supposed to be a much tougher challenge, not expected to be dominated by machines for decades and I wouldn't call it an outright win just yet for the A.I.s but the pool of humans who are even capable of holding their own against AlphaGo has likely dropped to below 1000, out of 7 billion
And how was that illegal? You do realize Clinton talked to Russians during the campaign also. The real question is whether Clinton's folks were unmasked, if they weren't then Obama's Administration is guilty of far worse crimes than anything Trump might have done.
Clinton made a point of badmouthing Putin whereas Trump, who didn't hesitate to call the Chinese "motherfuckers", wouldn't say a single unflattering thing about Vlad & has conducted a public bromance with him up until the Syria bombing. Also, the ties between Trump, his staffers & campaigners far outweighs any relation between Clinton & same even though she's been in politics for 50 years and has been 1st Lady & Sec of State.
Beginning in 1973 and until 1982, all cars sold in the American market had massive & weird bumpers due to attempts to comply with the "5-mph-no-damage" rule.
I heard people raving about ITIL so I tried to find out what it is. I still don't know because even thinking about it makes me fall alkdshjg;;dfpgsdgjgshgjpsdhfj gf skoppppppppppkgp
I went through the ITIL Foundations course quite a number of years ago. Could not fucking stay awake. The instructor was engaging, knowledgeable, they supplied us was a much coffee as we could stand, I kept going outside (in February) to keep myself awake and I still snored through the entire course. Managed to retain enough, long enough to pass the exam but I couldn't tell you the difference between a process & a function (by the ITIL definition) with a gun to my head.
You seem to suggest stopping profits is more important than saving lives. Given the drooling over euthanasia and eugenics on slashdot I am inclined to believe your goal is really just wanting as many people to die as possible and marxism is just a stretch of a way to get there.
I'm suggesting nothing of the sort but have no control over your inclinations. US Pharma biz however seems to have had no trouble bleeding sick people dry. A former colleague of mine who has several serious health challenges throughout her life left behind a mountain of debt, well into the millions of dollars. She may be something of an outlier but still far from unique.
"This is why Trump won the election, instead of trying to actually debate, you just immediately jump to insulting the poster for being stupid instead of actually trying to convince them of your side. The left might be surprised at the number of people they could persuade if they actually debated people"
The "left" has spent more than 40 years on that failed strategy - and they keep trying. FYI, the Glo-bull Warming Chinese Hoax poster child, James Hansen, is a long time REPUBLICAN and reluctant speaker who only stepped up to the plate because he felt not enough was being done, that the science wasn't being communicated, because he feared for the future of his children, and now his grandkids and thought that someone from the right who was also a scientist might be able to make a better case, to get opponents to listen to reason.
" If this is done on a utility scale then the batteries may not be in my basement but then they would have to be at a site built and maintained by the utility"
Or by companies that manufacture solar panels and / or energy storage - like Tesla.
I don't see the point of disconnecting SuperChargers from the grid. In order to do that, you'd need both a lot of solar panels & lots of batteries. Certainly doable for Tesla but at this time it's still quite expensive. While Tesla has started billing for SuperCharging, it's still in its early days and their promise for it to not be a profit center, means most of the funds will be used for expansion & upkeep. Tesla needs to participate in the grid *more*, not less, to offset usage of less renewable / more polluting energy generation, to take advantage of low demand / high generation by consuming cheap power that would otherwise be dumped or curtailed, to use their solar installations & battery packs for ancillary grid services such as reactive power.
In the case of cell phones, executives & business people were the early adopters. And we didn't have (those kind of) hipsters back then. Well not anywhere of the several places I lived.
"I don't need to scream out at the world I have an electric car, I want something that looks nice......"
These two statements were written by the same personality?? There's nothing subtle about the i3 and the kindest thing I can say is that it's somewhat less weird than the Leaf. There's nothing about the Model S that screams "electric car" and it does looks nice & I've been told it drives well so apart from the price & the screen, not sure what your beef with it is.

It's also a pretty big leap from "national security" to "we must trample the Constitution". Or at least, it used to be.
"Risk to national security" is just another "think of the children" justification

Your Honor, I was suffering from a terrible case of Yellow Fever!!
How much is it if you skip all the #ifdef BUGS sections?
That compiles down to 640k, just enough for everybody

after all, how much experience does he have with AI and autopilating software?
Autopilating software? That'll get the kinks out of your AI
Turns out he got caught fucking the boss's wife!
Nope. The boss doesn't currently have a wife. Maybe it was one of his ex-wives.

A better approach would be to bring the jobs back to the USA & Western countries.

"If I can get online to the internet and I don't have a browser how can I possibly download an alternative browser?"
Back when I worked for an ISP, the instructions for new customers included how to use FTP to get Netscape.

If that's the conclusion, you reached by reading my posts, I don't think we share a common language family
The real question, then, is what would happen if two Marquis got into a crash...
A new universe would be created

Killing the driver in front of you will not improve traffic or shorten your commute that day. Trust me on this.
But all your future commutes & housing will be provided by the government.
