In this day and age, access to information couldn't be easier. Greater knowledge can be obtained by anyone with a little motivation, some curiosity, and a can-do attitude.
Yes, it's not easy. Yes, it takes dedication and hard work.
No, it's not something that other people can do for you.

I can't believe I let myself miss this angle. I knew the story didn't add up, but I couldn't come up with a realistic explanation.
I realize now that I had fooled myself by trying to keep a good-faith attitude towards the formation of the board. Yikes, I've got to keep my naive optimism in check.
Is that really what this is about? That if someone should have a difference of opinion on some hot button topic, they are to be dismissed?
It is obvious that not everyone has the capacity to participate in something like this. But I doubt they would have selected anyone for the board unless they thought they had something to contribute. I mean, they didn't just pick names out of a hat. Did they?
Besides, isn't it supposed to be beneficial to have a diversity of opinions and perspectives? I have always believed in this philosophy. Now I'm finding it hard to reconcile the new norm wihout jumping to horrible conclusions. I don't want to believe this, but it seems like the whole diversity thing has been derailed and misdirected upon itself.
Why would diversity only count for the superficial characteristics of a given individual? I thought the whole point was that by selecting individuals based on superficial characteristics, it is implied that it will bring diverse and unrepresented perspectives to the table. So now we prefer consensus and homogeneity?
weather: the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness climate: the average course or condition of the weather at a place usually over a period of years as exhibited by temperature, wind velocity, and precipitation
In simple terms, it is average (climate) vs point-in-time (weather) conditions.
So climate change means there is a difference in the average weather conditions of a given place and time period versus a different time period, same place. Comparing the climate of differing places is not climate change. I suppose it should probably be called place change. Again, in simple terms, climate change involves the climate of the same area, different times.
However, the time periods must not be too short or too long. After all, a short period is by definition not climate. On the other hand, if the period is too long then you have nothing to compare. You cannot find a difference if the time period extends back to the formation of the Earth. Therefore, to find climate change you must select from time periods that show a difference. Make sure you do it scientifically! Facts matter! Context... not so much.
Well it's settled then. Facts and "vast amounts of science" are clearly not enough.
May all of us together, the most worshipful and illustrious beings of true enlightenment, put a stop to this madness. Let us join and conspire to do this deed. The Earth must be cleansed in this imminent and holy silencing.
Woe to these wretched undesirables who have yet again fallen for the false prophet's lies. Do not question this benevolent truth that has been bestowed upon thee! Beware! You must repent your ignorance and accept the divine truth! For the streets shall flow with the blood of the disbelievers.

The language is that of law demons which I will not utter here. In the common tongue, it says, "One ToS to rule them all. One ToS to find them. One ToS to bring them all and in the darkness rob them."
I think I understand where you're going with this, but I'm afraid your ignorance is showing. It would probably help if you cut down on the racism and bogotry.
So you want to stuff something on the cloud securely? I could probably give this some more thought, but at a bare minimum I would...
1) Go to step 5.
2) Use pre-internet encryption. That is, encrypt everything locally before you upload to the cloud....and don't get stingy on the key lengths. Don't use dumbass passwords either, get good.
3) Make sure your cloud storage has been access restricted. Test it. Unauthenticated public access is not what you want.
4) Now you can take that encrypted bit-blob and transfer it to your cloud-hole via encrypted tunnel (TLS 1.2+).
5) Now would probably be a good time to revisit your 'convenience' expectations of cloud storage. Still interested? Go to step 2.
In my rural area of North Dakota we have a regional co-op as our only option for wired service. For a while I was stuck with HVDL service that was a slow but consistent 756 Kbps down, had fair/OK latency for gaming.
The co-op was in the process of expanding their fiber network but they hadn't yet reached my area. I suppose that's understandable, I live 30 miles out. My nearest neighbors are about a half-mile down the gravel road in either direction. Even now the cell phone coverage (Verizon tower, I think) is spotty at best.
A few years went by but sure enough, they eventually came and trenched in fiber up to the house, for free! They also installed an indoor ONT with 802.11b/g/n wireless and a four port 1Gb Eth switch. I know it can go up to 1Gbps, but I currently have the 100Mbps service and it's fantastic.
I have to acknowledge how fortunate I am. Especially after reading about the trouble that others have, even in urban areas. IMHO, the larger broadband monopolies have no excuse for not doing better. Shame on them!
There once was a time and place for the legacy distribution methods of analog/radio public safety announcements. I believe that time had ended somewhere in the later half of the 20th century. This story indirectly serves as an official acknowledgement of the assertion above.
Simply put, due to the vast proliferation of mobile communication devices, there are now better alternative methods. I have no doubt that many would acknowledge the speed at which information can spread online. There are gaps, sure, but I believe it has never been easier to bonk everyone with a clue-by-four, than the present day.
Unfortunately, the time between the legacy system's EOL and today's new hotness, it seems the cart was put before the gnu. There was an incident that took place in Minot, North Dakota, back in January 2002. A train had just passed through the center of the city when it derailed within a development on the outskirts of town. Five tanker cars core dumped and the population of the surrounding area found themselves involuntarily huffing a thick cloud of anhydrous ammonia.
The emergency response was a complete mess, total failure. The situation called for urgent public safety warnings but announcements were delayed by hours. However, even if the announcements had not been delayed, could it have made a significant difference? Had it happened today, I believe a greater number of people could have been spared injury by simply glancing at their phone.

I'm seeing a link between a -1 score and correctness.
So the science is settled.
I agree with many of the proposed solutions, I hope they come to fruition sometime soon.
Until then, all calls that are not from my contacts go straight to voicemail. If you don't leave a message, then I guess it wasn't that important.
Woah, calm down bud! BTW I think your Jinping is showing through all that nonsense.
