Ask your grandpa about those windblown piles of tangled cassette tape angrily thrown out of cars when the tape eventually broke or the player mechanism jammed.
Because when the tape wears out, you have to purchase it again, at full price.
No, you do what we wish we could have done back in the day: immediately make an MP3 of the tape for everyday play and store the original in a place where we hope it won't deteriorate.
In 1868 they only found it on the sun through its spectral line. Perhaps they didn't know enough about it to place it accurately on the periodic table?
From the solar spectrogram was initially thought to be a metal, hence the -ium suffix. Its place on the Table was probably still controversial at the time this was printed.If He were being canonically named today, it would have been called helon.
The longevity or Hubble is still more proof that our machines take to space as a natural medium, with missions routinely serving a multiple of their expected lifetimes. On the other hand, Hubble got a large part of its extended lifetime from manned servicing. In fact if it had not been for manned missions, Hubble would have returned no data at all.
Reprocessing plants are also nuclear weapons plants.
This is not a problem if you put reprocessing plants on military reservations like the Nevada test Site, which also happens to be where Yucca Mountain is located. If we want to be serious about this whole climate problem Yucca now and start shipping waste to it. At the same time, we start installing a breeder reactor to reprocess spent fuel. With Yucca as a buffer, it won't fill up before the breeder is completed.
Because Basel is a major center for pharma research, with several major firms headquartered there, it nurtures a university/manufacturing complex that makes it the Silicon Valley of the drug trade. Switzerland has its own regulatory apparatus that is notably faster and more responsive than our FDA, with the same high standards. And as a non-EU country, Switzerland is not subject to regulatory luddism from Brussels. If genetic engineering turns out to be part of the next big cancer treatment, it will flourish in Switzerland.
"So you're saying strong AI has potential? Sounds good. When though."
None dare call it strong AI, that's all. Pitch it as an approach to extended versions of the same sort of problems that narrow AI is solving, and you will partake of the same rich funding as narrow AI.
In my case it was circa 1953, in a country that had been flattened to rubble by the Germans and then ruled by iron-rice-bowl socialists. Compared to that, 2019 in Arizona feels strongly like living in the future of my dreams.
I consider myself to be an optimist, but even I think that it is realistic that at least half of the population start dieing rapidly after 10 years, caused by global warming and all the side effects caused by it
That's what alarmists predicted in 1900, and in 1920, and in 1950, and a whole lot more in 1970 and 1980.
The standard of living in Western countries where I live has consistently gone downhill since the 1980s. Personally I can't even imagine owning the kind of houses my parents could afford back then. That kind of good living is out of reach for me.
That's because you paid too much for that trans theory degree. With a more marketable education, you could have had a job that let you afford all those things.
You think WiFi and GMOs are "unhealthy" somehow? You miss the tooth decay we enjoyed so much before water was fluoridated. And yes, you actually believe that smoking was healthier for you than today's food processing and additive tech?
I'm glad I survived to live in my optimistic future, the same one that contains all the tech you hate.
Because you can build large things in China without having hordes of hippie moms or Westwood real estate snobs sue you into oblivion. Musk drilled a short section of urban transit tunnel near Dodger Stadium because it's a good place to show off concept demos to investors, but if he wants to install a prototype transit line under the streets of a real city, it's going to have to be in China.
Slashdot Mirror
Will they at least be able to run Linux on it now?
Let's have the Hensel twins repeat this experiment. Hilarity ensues.
With a little more work and a few references to the BDS movement, you could probably whip that into shape as a Slate article.
-on is the suffix for noble gases. Hence argon, neon, xenon, krypton, radon, oganesson.

We call these "flash drives."

That is more than my monthly total mortgage payment.
that's way too shiny a toy for most people.
This will be the simplified phone for people who hate those high Apple prices.

For slashdot, that's pretty good.
For Scotland, that's pretty good.
Zinc oxide was used also, yes, and it looked the same.
When I was growing up in California (early Sixties) TiO2 was why all the surfers had white noses.
All good points, except that there is no need to kill off the 2 billion people. If we implement the other steps, we can leave genocide to the Greens.

A guy with a PhD in Nuclear Physics (and a consultant) thinks we should use nuclear power. Amazing stuff.
Why yes, when good liberals want to know more about nuclear physics, they go to Hollywood.

Fragment and balkanize as you wish. We'll just fire up our VPNs and torrents.
The one good way to eliminate piracy is to make online media subscriptions easier to use.
