Nobody knows... But does that stop the bold from making unsubstantiated predictions based on mathematical models? No..
So... If you guys are so good at forecasting the weather on Jupiter, why are you so bad about doing it here? Maybe you should pick a simpler system to model, say the stock market, and make a killing?
This Fine article is pretty much worthless... Nobody really knows where that red spot came from, it's been there as long as we could actually see enough detail to see it, we have little proof, only theories about what keeps it going and as a result we haven't a clue how long it will be there in the future.
I guess. Abuses of power? Nothing else going on? Gotta fight for the future crimes?
Come on, think about this.. It's an election year! I call it the political silly season. We are going to see all sorts of useless politically charged things said and done over the next few months. One has to make political hay as the opportunity presents itself and this NN issue plays well with specific groups.
So who are those groups being manipulated by this vain attempt to resurrect NN? Just look at which states are doing this and figure it out for yourself..
The US, where you can send your daughter to UNC Chapel Hill and she gets killed by scum who rode the bus over from Durham.
You see, things are not much different in REAL LIFE, son.
Bad things happen everywhere and the USA is no exception. All senseless killing is to be condemned.. However..
In Venezuela, senseless killing is a lot more common these days, as is politically motivated shooting of opposition candidates. Venezuela has never been the paragon of safety, but there isn't a place in the USA which is as dangerous as walking down the street in Caracas these days. These people have NO food, medical care or prospects for finding any. The government is literally controlling EVERYTHING and is likely getting set to default on their latest loan payments so they will have nothing to give to the population. Desperate hungry people are fighting to survive, bloody violence is the way this kind of thing goes, if history is any indicator.
RDU isn't a perfect place but it's a lot less risky than Caracas as RDU isn't full of hungry desperate people with no prospects.
The sad truths about the next shooter (and there will be another):
1. Has already purchased the weapon they will use.
2. Is already known to law enforcement.
3. COULD have been stopped, but was overlooked as a risk.
So enact your laws, just accept the fact that gun control laws are not going to be enough either in the short or long terms. We have got to do more than just control the sale and position of firearms.
Where our national debt is currently excessive in the extreme.... SOME debt isn't a bad thing...
By the way.. The FED isn't actually issuing paper all that much anymore. They are simply issuing digital currency with the promise to follow up with actual currency if the borrower (or bond buyer) asks for it.
That's the real story. FCC actually paying attention to it's own rules.
Now if only we can get them to do something about 7.200Mhz.....
Yea.. The "man" died who started that AM broadcasting mess down there before they could extract their fines from him. Took them almost 20 years to actually pull his ticket and get him off the air, even after his making a name doing daily broadcasts... Shesh...
The FCC doesn't have the manpower to fix what ails 7.200Mhz at this point so I guess they are choosing to wait for all the geezers like me to die and vacate the frequencies so they can auction them off for some coin.
They have gone after retailers and importers who dealt in stuff that was radiating RF but didn't meet applicable standards. Problems is they need to know who is importing and selling the stuff. Which for a lot of this stuff isn't an easy nut to crack with the limited manpower of the FCC.
claims it is the world's first sovereign cryptocurrency
The entire point of cryptocurrencies is that they are supposed to be decentralized, meaning you don't have to rely on any one government. This is probably as trustworthy as the old currency they used. How is this any different from printing new bills to attempt to get out of their debt/other economy problems?
It isn't really any different except that "printing" it is basically free. Which at this point would be a good thing, printing bolivars is likely becoming a real strain on the country's resources when inflation is so high.
Seriously? What did we do or not do to South America?
I'm really curious.. Are we somehow responsible for the troubles down south? What did we do? Surely you cannot think we where responsible for Venezuela's failure...
He's basically trying to sell shares in an industry his government forcibly privatized a couple of decades ago. What makes you think he's going to actually trade a barrel of oil for a Petro? All he has to say is "no" and you have zero recourse when trying to collect... What are you going to do, show up at a port with a barrel and demand he fill it? And you think he will?
I'd like to believe the parent's post is a bit of sarcasm, but I'm not so sure...
I hope so too, but I've seen so many loony leftists float socialistic utopian ideas that really amount to oppressive totalitarianism when implemented to not be jaded about such things...
Crypto currency backed by Venezuelan oil? You mean you want to privatize that industry your government took over for a profit?
So if I want to trade my Petro for a barrel of crude is it FOB origin, shipping point or FOB destination shipping paid? My guess is it's like the Gold Standard used to be.... Forget trying to cash in.
Now everyone throw out your cheap CFLs and LED bulbs. You are screwing up my ham radio. Come on, FCC. Where is your van when we need it?
The van got traded in on a Prius that although has great mileage and a ready made power source, emitted too much RF to be able to make any kind of sensitive measurements within 100yards of it.
Just kidding...
Actually, the FCC doesn't have the field agents necessary to actually show up and do the monitoring they used to do. The enforcement bureau just doesn't have the people anymore. They might get around to actually doing something about a Ham complaint in about 10 years.... Consider the K1MAN debacle that went on more than two decades, only ending when the crazy old koot died before they collected the fine.
IF you operate a device that radiates RF, you are subject to FCC regulation. Usually part 15. Computers radiate lots of RF.
Part 15 devices cannot interfere with any licensed service. So this guy's computer draws the foul from the FCC and will get fined if he doesn't fix it.

Don't forget money for the FCC, lots of it.

I doubt it, but apparently the idea they did know has given them space in your mind rent free...
I'm guessing they didn't know anymore than Intel knew. But now that they know, I'm sure they are fielding exploits as fast as they can.
LOL, You do understand that some folks over at the FCC already HAVE them right? (and I do believe they are loaded)

Didn't I say that YESTERDAY when we discussed this new crypto currency?
They are not pointless, Just ineffective.

1. Has already purchased the weapon they will use.
2. Is already known to law enforcement.
3. COULD have been stopped, but was overlooked as a risk.

MSDGA!
Make SlashDot Great Again! Before it's too late...
Yeah, is it bad that the first thing I thought when I read the headline was, "What kind of cryptocurrency is Cobalt?"
I'm sure there is one, however, just fork bitcoin and rename if there isn't....
In Soviet Russia, Crypto currency is the definition of legitimate. It's how they make money off you capitalist pigs...
(snip)
Cryptocurrencies are the wild west, but that seems to be a design feature, so caveat emptor.
One man's propaganda is another's truth... I agree, It pays to be aware of what both sides are saying...

Great way to put it.

Just send it to me Priority Mail.. I'm sure I can arrange to dispose of your disposable income in a more capitalistic way...

Why would he have radio emissions while running a bitcoin miner?
Computers emit a LOT of RF, especially when they are not operated in a shielded box.
That sir, is FUNNY... Where are my mod points? Dang!

A metal box would be a great solution..
