But the hope was that a smaller committee might succeed where a larger one failed. Or maybe even just fail less hard. But they couldn't even get there.
that one side was willing to compromise. One side wants to cut entitlements, the other to raise taxes. Republicans say: the Democrats wouldn't compromise and do it all by cutting entitlements. The Democrats say: the Republicans wouldn't compromise and do it with a mix of taxes and entitlement cuts.
Bulldozers are turing complete, so they are computers. They're just slow, as the articles says. Whoever thought moving earth around to store bits for the infinite tape part was kidding themselves.
Looks like you're right, and it extends as far as the local supercluster being sufficiently gravitationally bound to avoid that doom, at least until after all the stars burn out anyway.
It's a fox tv series that aired in the US a few years back. Among people who watched it, it was exceptionally well regarded, but it suffered and died from two problems:
1) Jumping in was hard, because there were a lot of self-referential jokes from earlier episodes. 2) It got consistently stuck in terrible time-slots, and this was before Nielsen figured out how to deal with people using dvrs.
If you're a nerd and enjoy comedy series, I'd highly recommend it. In my opinion it's the best comedy series ever on tv, and the only one that I've watched the entirety of more than 3 times.
Well, it's true: there's always some possibility that things could work out. There's just no obvious solution to the problem given our current knowledge of physics that doesn't involve massive amounts of human death. Now that death could be a massive plague in china, and that might not result in war, but that's about the only other way out, and it presumes a plague so virulent that the oppressive government in China can't handle it, which means the whole world is doomed because no one around can put more severe restrictions into place effectively. With that level of population crash, we may as well have had a war, the institutions of the world will collapse. So it's really sunshine and roses whatever path you go down.
It won't balance out from our perspective for sure. Just like the climate didn't 'balance out' for the dinosaurs after the asteroid hit. Some other race will inherit the earth.
Yes, but there's no particular reason for that to destroy the earth, or otherwise disrupt the solar system. Galaxy collisions very rarely involve stars actually colliding.
Those are some huge costs you're talking about, and, of course, you're basically crossing your fingers that we can do it before the wars either get us, or render us so technologically poor it is no longer an option.
You understand that as soon as you combust the hemp that you convert to hydrocarbons, you're netting nothing, right? That the reason our co2 is shooting up right now is because we're burning the sequester that was done by prehistoric plants?
Yes, but it won't balance out. Canada, roughly the same land area as the US, becomes slightly more habitable as the US becomes less so. But they don't get any more light, so their food-growing seasons never get to be as good as in the US. Same situation applies to China and Russia. Plus, you really don't want to find out what happens if that kind of volume of people needs to migrate, particularly when the lands in question belong to different countries. The China/Russia one is particularly exciting to think about. When (and sadly, not if at this point) China and Russia go to war, it is going to affect the whole world.

She must have had some pretty serious margins to only lose $20k on a 75% discount after paying for extra staff.

Well, they offered to on multiple occasions. Are you imagining they'd back out of their own deal?
Unfortunately, the Republicans were not actually willing to get any chocolate in the Democrat's peanut butter.

One side just sounds saner here. It's depressing.

Several? We're < 6 billion from going red giant.

I mean ... what's the point of encryption that your foes, police or otherwise, can bypass?

It's much more interesting once you realize his mother is pulling all the strings.
But a woman can't be president. I bet she barely has time for the cooking and cleaning as it is.
Bleah. Most depressing post of the week to you sir.
Sadly, also informative.
I suspect they let them decompose, yes, which is just a slow form of burning.
And of course, every one of those services wants to be the only one you can get it from. It's what they all want.

How does that help the situation? It might make the nuclear wars more one sided?
Yes, but there's no particular reason for that to destroy the earth, or otherwise disrupt the solar system. Galaxy collisions very rarely involve stars actually colliding.

Yes, but the window is narrower, which is what counts.

Stars don't need to hit each other. The dust getting sucked into stars is plenty.
