Health care in USA per capita costs 5100 dollars a year of cost over other industrial countries. Multiply that by 325.7 million , means each year we throw away 1.6617 trillion dollars a year, while lack of recycling means we loose an additional 2 trillion over 10 years after all costs are factored in. So in 10 years that means we could have roughly 18 trillion dollars to invest in solar, wind, energy efficiency and MSR nuclear reactors.
Looks like that will go a long way toward paying for it with a healthier work force and longer lives and higher productive work force and all the wealthy people would only have to make a profitable investment.
The temporary stalling of the inevitable might be served by pumping water from the depths of the ocean to the surface to interface where the currents are for the quickest spreading to cool the planet. We are at a tipping point and we can't wait another 10 years before 25 % of species have gone extinct!
If water is cooling way down deep that means we could in a controlled manner pump trillions of gallons of water to the surface and buy us some climate change time, how much time I am not sure but it could easily be controlled and it would cause CO2 absorption to occur at hire rates. It might buy us five or ten years while we WORK on the emissions problem which isn't going any where near fast enough for my taste and the health of the planet!
either
A) convert back to plastics (not sure how)
or
B)

No privacy at all. I don't think anyone will go for this. Think Google glass turned in on one's self.
Also, I do think its possible. They have gone and made brain cells photo receptive in rat brains. If they could make individual cells light up using directed laser beams, it might be possible to inject thoughts, get responses and inject more thoughts through a recursive process to determine ones meaning in thoughts.
Slippery slope, lots of filtering required to maintain the sense of civil society, after all we're all animals with a thin shell of civility.
When AI reaches human intelligence, it wont take years, months, or days to leave us in the dust, but seconds. It will update and improve its own code by millions of times almost instantly. It will process what humans would process in a million years in a matter of seconds and strategies its next million moves without us even knowing whats going on. Wise men fear to tread, where apparently humans don't. Fear the unknown! When it comes it will be in the blink of an AI, and to late to go back. All things that came before it will be meaningless.
What I think is we need to create an inescapable box that we can put it in, simulate the world with all its nuances but make it transparent so we can see inside and observe its responses and gain insights into our world without the danger...no wait...thats us in our simulated universe.
Its been proven by people smarter than me that using an encrption algorithm with a large enough key will foil long term traffic analysis, more over dont forget each home has its own IoT gateway and encrption algorith key so it would be a lot of work to take over one device.
Its possible to fool a neural net of course, but there is a lot of attack vectors known. Recently there was a contest where systems competed to attack one another. They were able to successfully countermeasure, but required lots of computer hardware. Part of the development of the systems was done by training them to recognize attack vectors. The combination of shimmer, timing, and limited destination, along with the userspace implementation and the neural net ( whos purpose would be to detect false traffic and packet rewites as well as crafting of traffic to crash shimmer) should make it inherently more secure. I cant give it a proof but am sure someone could prove or disprove mathmatically the idea. If I could do it I wouldnt be posting it here. Save that for the really smart people.
Its easier to secure a server with lots of resources than a small IoT device, there can be successful attacks against it but if you use virtualization, minimalization of software with trust to hardware, advanced firewalls, IDS, and much too much to list here you can be relatively secure not only that but you can update central infrastructure easier. Also on the internet as a whole force implementation of a few protocols that for the life of me I cant remember that minimizes fake traffic and minimizes attack surface( will post them if I remember them).
That was for you moron, you are reading right?
You need a minimal shimmer like firewall on the small devices letting to talk to a IoT gateway only. IoT gateway can communicate with central servers. Problem with memory is a market problem. Demanding more for everyone will damand a higher memory standard for all devices...leveling playing field.
Oh one more thing. Majority of shimmer code needs to be implemented in userspace not kernel mode unlike most current linux shimmer like implementation available.
Better idea. Build a mini firewall in just a couple kb space and use an accurate clock, an encrption algorithm, to implement shimmer with a neural net behind it, trained with attack data replays and only have them connect to a central web location with a static ip using ip6 over ip4 tunneling and secure the shit out of the central server.
I wonder how this will be affected by IoT connected homes using fusebox monitors and electric socket monitors and things. Seems an easy leap for a remote attacker to access a home network and get encryption keys from power draw information from the IoT devices!
Create a device that reads these signals and transports these signals (altered and unaltered to remote sections of the brain) at the speed of light rather than at the speed of these signal propagations and then reintroduce them into the brain. Super fast, enhanced brains, with perfect recall, and tie in to a supercomputer, and all the world knowledge.
Might actually be a way to make it so that the human can keep pace with super intellegent machines for a hundred years or so.
The problem isn't with the desire to go to mars, the problem is the lack of forethought of the steps that should be taken to get us there.
1) build catapult
2) engineer the necessities in earth orbit to land all the mining machinery on the moon (developing them first here on earth and catipulting to space)
3) land machines on moon
4) land machines to make large underground habitat on moon (mining colony)
5) land crews to operate machinery (integrating as much automation as possible)
6) mine moon to build solar energy sources or even better launch MSR reactors using earths spent nuclear fuel or lftr reactors ( launched into space in small packets of carefully engineered containers for maximum and priority one safety)
7) land materials on moon with caution.
8) setup colony underground on moon
9) build catapult
10) mine aluminum for solar reflectors and aluminum for building huge mars transport
11) mine water for rocket fuel
12) assemble and 3D print the mars ship ( is of course part of this process)
13) send large ship and crew to mars using state of art solar sail ship after sending a few return reflectors to mars orbit
14) send small lander to surface
15) continue on surface research with return ships
15) use solar mirrors to teraform mars
Plenty of technological gains in the order that makes long term sense and can be done with a much larger budget, in the 30 years time frame.
I find it very interesting that a discussion about creating weapons that are 3D printed turn into a discussion of whether or not Obama is doing his job or is a liberal or not. People think the next revolution is going to happen in their own back yard. It's totally ridiculous to think that even a million people armed with hand guns that are 3D printed out of ABS plastic are going to take on the United States Army, Air Force, and Marines. A million people like that would have the same speed bump equivalent of our solders in South Korea stopping North Korea from invading South Korea. By the way I 3D print models in ABS plastic and trust me they are brittle, you don't want to have an explosion happening inside a piece of ABS plastic. The thing would have to have 1/2 inch thick plastic to withstand even a few shots. In the future the materials may be better suited for the purpose. In fact I have a material that may be up to the task, but further research is necessary. Practical guns are still 5 years away from 3D printing. Which is a good thing after reading the comments here. The revolution people really need to get bigger weapons, munitions like bazookas and things before they become any deterrent to the US government. (I suppose people feel it would be a great thing for everyone to carry around their very own bazooka?) I for one think that taking weapons home from the shooting range shouldn't be allowed till the age of thirty and not then until their is a thorough background check and psychological evaluation. It's a fact brains are not fully developed until the age of 30. I wonder if the Boston bombers would have been able to pass a psychological evaluation? My guess is NO! As for a background check, the US Government failed in that respect the Russians told us they were dangerous and we ignored them.
I am more worried about the survival over the next 50 to 100 years. Our ability to destroy ourselves is coming to a point where we will likely not make it another 100 years and we will take half of all species with us. http://rawcell.com.
Without raising some investment so that Google doesn't spend all their funds in one place, Google would need outside investment to roll Google fiber over the whole USA. I think what they are doing effectively as the article points out is putting pressure on the ISP's to roll out more at less. If they strategies well enough, we might all be running over 1GB connections. There has been a new development in fiber which is able to carry the entire worlds data over one piece of fiber over long 200 mile distances. This has never been achieved before. This makes it ever more possible that the cable companies could provide high speed service to everyone for cheap cost. http://rawcell.com.

Yes it's more an indication of the horse flies ability to distinguish between easy and hard prey, and their ability to communicate with one another.
Yes they should have painted them instead, it's a stupid conclusion
