Desalination would be an ideal 'peak absorber' use to shave off the high points in a fluctuating power supply in a state with a long-term shortage of water. But good luck getting California to issue permits for something this obvious before the end of this century.
If we can solve the problem of separating metals in e-waste, that not only opens up a whole new range of industrial processes, such as more efficient mining, but gets us closer to being able to separate metals efficiently on the isotopic level, which would mean the end of the nuclear waste problem.
There is no need to single out solar panels. This is the same problem as recycling computers, phones, tablets, and everything else electronic. Shipping this stuff to the People's Republic of Onga-Bonga to be vainly pulled apart by starving children is a worse solution than just letting it pile up locally. We need to develop specific technology for separating the exotic metals that make up e-waste. We will need those materials again to make new devices.
Maybe a better analogy would be to say you have millions of windows popping up everyday. Some may have wrongthink on them. You are expected to know where and when the wrongthink will occur on a window, or else you are also guilty of thought crime by virtue of ignorance.
Ooooh, I have an idea! Let's plan a special night when we smash all of the windows that express political messages of any kind, in case they might be wrongthink. It would be like a festival.
And just like me, you had to go to the blog to do a comparison because you never had occasion to look at Google News before today's Google metanews, right?
Because the US is the only country that can enforce its laws worldwide, such as the FATCA nonsense that prevents Americans working overseas from doing ordinary banking business. I'd like to see the Canadians try executing a special forces raid on a file downloader in New Zealand.
The big misconception going on here is that Hampton Creek is developing lab meat for vegan consumption. Actually this will be a totally different market, sold first to environmentally conscious meat eaters and then, as the process scales up and comes down in cost, as a replacement for meat in the regular marketplace.
Vegetarians might eat lab meat because their objection to meat is specifically the idea of killing for it, but veganism is a religious movement that is going to automatically reject it as being 'artificial' and therefore objectionable as a cheat around the pose of self-denial inherent in eating nothing but plant matter. Hampton Creek is in this because the company is already a supplier of those vegan products that are made to resemble meat in cuisine, without being close enough for vegans to consider it cheating.
Farming is labor intensive and requires land, while any automated industrial process, once developed, can be scaled up to meet the market. Watch for lab-grown meat to take over first in the places where the human population is most dense.
Samsung placing 'assault tablets' in civilian hands will be seen as a provocation. Will the Norks start to use their stockpile of unmodified Note 7s against the South?

It's not a bad thing.
If your lazy-ass kid buys a motorized fidget spinner, he richly deserves this fate.

"the article is Right wing rubbish."
Instead, we need to trust the big toxic pile of left-wing rubbish that gets dumped here whenever the subject comes up.

We are as gods, and had better get good at it.

2. Overcome SJW objections to putting a *man* on the moon instead of a person
Japan is not concerned about this one. Their point 2 will be: Shop for all the needed electronics at Ahikabara.
I agree, but lets be fair. The U. S. of A. did it forty-eight fucking years ago.
That would have counted had we stayed.
China, India, Japan. The more countries trying to get us off this rock the better. Too bad the USA isn't in that list.
As manned government programs, we're not on the list. But in the private sector, hell yes.
"I have 0 CDs over 10 years old that still play."
Protip: when you play Frisbee with your CDs, do not let your dog catch them.
Let me guess: you're sitting on a large pile of vinyl albums whose value you think will grow to the sky if you can only keep this stupid fad going.
Remember the cigar fad?
Japanese hipsters get their own dedicated power pole for $10K to $40K each to run their audio equipment.

Imagine how much the Monster audio hipster power pole must cost.
Actually there has been a horrible mistake: this wasn't the name, but the developer site password.

"The reason that the Windows operating system is being targeted is that it is the gold standard for 90% of the worlds business computing needs."
Actually, Windows is the peeling gilt standard that is being attacked because of its vulnerability.

"Not exactly, methane is much more potent than CO2 in terms of warning potential. "
It also breaks down much faster, so no real net difference in greenhouse potential.
How long will it be before the flight attendants start asking passengers with Note FE to be turned completely off?
And on United, this order will apply to the passengers themselves.
