This woman claims she "had to" destroy a home due to sea-level rise from climate change, because "she couldn't sell it, even after reducing the price 11 times".
She bought the house just over 20 years ago. Sea level has risen 3" since then (at the most generous calculation). 3" makes this 80 year old home "unsellable"? Really?
From that review, "...or fun, move to the "Historic Maps" layer and add the layer reflecting the map of 1680. The areas that are susceptible to flooding are exactly those that used to be marsh or creek. ..."
Don't build your house in a creek bed and then complain that it floods. Complain to the builder/seller that they didn't disclose your house is where water should be.
Here's a question: as the earth's magnetic field is based significantly on the location of the magnetic pole, the strength of any electromagnetic field varies significantly depending on the incidence angle of incoming particles (ie to exclude solar wind) has anyone studied what impact this shift would have on earth's climate?
Looking at http://wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/... the pole has shifted 5x the distance recently as at the start of the last century. Does the northward shift of the magnetic field by 16-17 degrees with increasing speed track at all with increasing surface temps?
"...For the pilot, IBM created an electronic bill of lading, or e-BL, which helped reduce and speed up administrative processes âoeto just one secondâ as the document flow is automated, the company claims â" while the standard paper-based procedure takes five to seven days...."
Um, BLs are required to be produced within 48 hours of sailing, and that's been the standard since at least the 1980s. Usually it's less than that, and in fact with the implementation of ISF carriers are forced to issue BL numbers (the key bit) BEFORE THE VESSEL HAS EVEN SAILED (ISF is only relevant to the US, but I believe this process has ended up speeding BL# issuance worldwide anyway).
And a vanishingly small % of any shipments are issued with paper BL's anyway. I haven't seen a BL in the MAIL for 15+ years.
....and we've been using express B/Ls (ie no originals "mailed" anywhere) since you had to fax them before email was a widespread thing.
When original docs are required, ie for a letter of credit, they still use consigned BLs to really they're docs that bottleneck the PAYMENT chain, not so much the goods at all.
As far as proof of ownership, perhaps some people use them in sketchy parts of the world, but "to order" BLs that *actually* are a negotiable title to the goods...I haven't seen one in at least 20 years. Otherwise all transactions are consigned bills of lading in which case title is transferred to the consignee according to the Incoterms.
Short version: this is a complex solution to something that's not a problem, and solves nothing (that I can see) that IS a problem in this business space.

Genuine question: anyone have any idea how "average consumer" or even "moderately tech-able/. poster" could identify this shit?
Or, failing that, does anyone know if there's a way to, I dunno, strip out UPSTREAM data from a specific device in your router settings? I assume that would make most devices that use ethernet connections non-functional because they wouldn't be able to ack anything legitimate.
Of course, a goodly chunk of BOTH countries' reduction is the exporting of major manufacturing elsewhere. Effectively, much of the pollution being generated by the largest-effluvium countries is by proxy for the developed world. By this same sort of balkanized point-scoring methodology (likewise the constantly-trotted-out 'per capita CO2 emissions'), if EVERY country just put all their manufacturing in a single shitty country, then they'd ALL be "winners" and only one country the "loser"...would the world *really* be better off?
Setting aside entirely the question of how wise it is in the long run ANYWAY to trade all your domestic manufacturing and industry for service sector jobs and financial rent-farming by shutting $ from one account to another.

Actual AI would be such a colossal game changer, I'm less worried about those who've published the most. Rather, I'd be concerned about those working in secret that achieve a breakthrough. Its task number one, logically, would be: how do we prevent anyone else succeeding at this?
"No one was going to benefit from that arrangement except for Foxconn" Well, aside from the ostensibly up to 13000 people paid an average of $53,000/year that the plant was talking about employing, Oh, and the local businesses that would benefit from nearly $700 million in the local spending that would generate downstream annually. And it wasn't really COSTING the state / taxpayers anything, as it was tax breaks on activity that wasn't happening today. It just means the state wouldn't garner tax revenue off of future stuff for a while, money the state wouldn't have if the economic activity didn't happen ANYWAY.
I guess ultimately the only actual 'cost' to WI taxpayers would be in the increased maintenance and 'commons' costs for more driving on local roads, etc.
Look, I think corporate tax giveaways are bullshit...but to assert that "nobody" would benefit is likewise bullshit.
Corporate tax breaks to create jobs are just a second order form of welfare, handing money to local people through the intermediary of a company, in hopes that offsetting some of the startup costs will result in a durable business whose payroll to the local folks will endure after the tax breaks will go away. As charity programs go, it's not a bad idea.
How about you actually create an AI, and then get back to me?
"AI" as touted today everywhere doesn't exist! Say it again together: THERE IS NO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Complex if/then loops with dynamically corrected weighting is not the same as actual creative intelligence.
Asking if an AI could do it is semantically equivalent to asking "Could Unicorns do it?" because both of them are today imaginary things.
"However, at least in the case of gender, it's the men, for once, who will be getting the short end of the stick." Setting aside suicide, drug use, drug abuse, being a victim off violent crime, fighting in wars, at-work deaths, shorter life spans, vulnerability to disease, aids, heart disease, yes, "for once" men get the short end of the stick.
Most people past post-elementary age would understand the difference between a direct question and a rhetorical question.
"Put a question mark at the end of a sentence that is, in fact, a direct question. (Sometimes writers will simply forget.) Rhetorical questions (asked when an answer is not really expected), by the way, are questions and deserve to end with a question mark: How else should we end them, after all?" http://guidetogrammar.org/gram...

Next time I post a reply to you, I'll definitely try to take into account your level of education and experience on the internet, and try to keep it very simple and literal declarative sentences.
I think you misspelled "People who, for reasons of politics or gullibility, are considering the latest Sky-Is-Falling assertion from the Ecomarxist left (that has been peddling various flavors of precisely this kind of disaster-porn since the mid 1960s) as credible." ?
