The problem with this attitude is that your vote then does not count. I saw the call from Bruce Perens and the first thought in my mind was I had better re-join the league so I could vote to make a difference.

Can people change with just introspection? Additionally, it's clear to me that Linus has the intelligence to do so. I would like to think that people can when it's obvious that there are not enough therapists in the world for everybody.
The lungs do not care about what category a substance belongs to. There are a whole class of minerals that are very "absestos like" that if inhaled will cause similar damage. In fact, any airborne small particulate matter should be considered harmful to health and precautions should subsequently be taken. Including sawdust even.
Bad memories die hard, and your solutions trainwrecked Oregon's healthcare website when other states were able to accomplish more for far less and in a far more timely manner.
Good thing I'm not in congress, I'd find any way I could to prevent you from bidding on a contract that was critical for our national defense.
Just get lost already, and let the companies that know what they're doing get the job done.
I'm a bit more optimistic than most on the timeline. Here is a company that wants to get it done by 2030. There are a couple of other interesting and serious Tokamak designs that are actively being built. I also think that with global warming concerns becoming more pressing governments will be looser with the purse strings to accomplish something sooner rather than later.
As much as finding H3 is concerned, I do think that terrestrial sources will be more viable than any possible moon source.
Furthermore, can people actually blame women for not getting into programming? The fact that women stay out of programming or CS (or similar field) doesn't mean there is any kind of bias against them, it means that they're intelligent and smart
Yes, they have lot. They have to find a way to restrict supply, because if they did not then prices would plummet across the board. That's why De-beers will work to buy up all the diamond mines there are and mine every diamond they can so they can restrict supply. It is also well known that they also never will give a broker or jeweler the quantity they ask for.
Sadly, the non-De-beer mines (there are a few) are motivated to sell at the best profit possible and not undercut Debeer that much.
They could possibly be selling the manufactured diamonds at a very minimal profit or even less than what it costs to manufacture (it would not be the first time they engaged in such behavior to gain market share), and using the profits from the sale of real diamonds to help fund that in order to try to drive out or at least minimize the manufacture of diamonds. There is a floor at which price diamonds can be profitably made, because there are significant industrial costs in order to do so (e.g. there currently is a time bottleneck to grow diamonds).
Parent post suggesting that they might just liquidate real diamonds in their place is likely a capable or plausible thing for De-beers to do also.
It's a sad commentary when it is true that Fox News becomes the bastion for truth. The fact is Trump was in fact responding directly to comments about the MS13 gang, something that was either missed by incredibly lazy reporters or edited out to drive their particular agenda mission. Quite literally "fake news."
I have been on that damn mouse watch as well. Too bad people can't get behind/against this like they did net neutrality. Btw, corporate welfare knows has no specific party affiliation. Though I do think with Hollywood Hillary it would have been automatic that this thing would have been signed.
And those drones definitely won't "have any notion of right and wrong".
Maybe those drones don't need a notion of right or wrong. Maybe those drones could assess a battlefield situation better than a human - and prevent the loss of life. Both by preventing friendly fire casualties and/or by fighting more efficiently so that there does not need to be needless opposition deaths or collateral damage.
So the protesters and others in this thread assume that the drones will bring about more war, when the opposite is just as likely, if not more true.
You need to remember that Vermont Yankee had a design lifetime of 40 years, which it met with reasonable success. I always worry about what the thoughtful engineers of old were thinking when they said that the plant would last that long. There are a couple of aspects to this.
First and foremost, Nuclear power in its present state is completely unforgiving. While there are newer designs that overcome many of the problems, the fact remains Vermont was an aging nuclear plant. One of the cooling towers collapsed in itself near the end because of rusted bolts. While this per se was not a part of the critical area where the plant operated, it still highlights the type of problems that aging equipment faces. As good as plant operations may have been, this cooling tower failure was completely unanticipated.
This is actually the exact same type of failure that Fukushima fell victim too. No one predicted that there would be a Tsunami capable of taking out power to the plants which lead to the cascading failures (otherwise they would have caught the sea incursion flaw of the sea being able to get into the plant).
I suspect this was some of the thinking that the early engineers had. That the plant could become subject to failures that they could not predict because of aging equipment *or* an aging design like Fukushima (which had some of the same era Mark 1 designs that Vermont Yankee has). If Fukishima was a modern design, it perhaps could have withstood a complete loss of power like what happened there.
Clearly (imho) the way forward is with smaller, more contained nuclear plants and not relying on large monolithic plants that when they fail, they hurt the entire surrounding society.
I otherwise agree with your points. It's just that people need to realize that equipment does have limited timelines that it can reliably work. Vermont Yankee did meet what the original engineers intended. I submit that it needs to be replaced with another reactor that is a smaller, modern, and a safer design - rather than lament it's absence.
There's probably a lot of corporations stocking up on this phone who developed in-house applications that run on Windows phones and not Android. Part of the reason for this is that they could have much better control over the phone/environment once it was in a worker's hand. There are inventory tracking companies that still use it.

It's when people take that extracted value and remove it from the economy that we have a problem...
You mean like when they save??

We are talking about breaking up Facebook now, but only 4 years ago greenlighted a huge mega billion dollar acquisition
In other words, under a very Democratic administration.
Or when Astronomers say "soon" and actually mean 1 million years.
You can download it for free now -- so to speak, kinda.

America's "rocket man."
Facebook is a platform that can not be trusted. Everybody needs to know that.

People could move to Windows 10.
It boggles the mind.

This is coming from them same company that could not put up with James Damore's scientific analysis about gender.
Which leads me to think that google will use AI to social engineer for our good, because they know what's right and wrong and best for us.
Doing evil is right.

And we end up with the arrival of Landru.
Joy to you, friend.
The era of the self-crashing car.
Where are you going to get your SJW indoctrination done now, though???

The blade when detached could have had a slight bent which could have caused it to "boomerang" out the engine towards the plane!
