CRISPR is about to bring us an avalanche of genetic engineering on the human genome to attack a variety of gene-related diseases. This is our chance to eliminate the anti- science moment the way Darwin intended, by selecting out people who oppose GMO technology. Good riddance!
Guess what: Just tried the site again and, this time, it comes up.
Yes, the postmodernist movement was an academic high-water mark in the development of abstruse language. The Pomos became so difficult to communicate with that they eventually lost the ability to mate with humans and died out. According to legend, the grave of the last Pomo is unmarked because academics could not agree on what discourse to put on her tombstone.
The problem is the backwards legal system, which thinks that high technology means clinging to fax rather than going to a fully secure PGP signature standard.
"We missed each other in time" is one common explanation for the Paradox. Right now SETI researchers are still sifting galactic radio waves, looking for any stray signals that defy a natural explanation. But what if every civilization rips through the age of VHF over-the-air transmission as quickly as we have on the way to more efficient longlines transmission by cable? Now we have a new tack, looking for visual evidence of engineering. Stay tuned...
Okay, Dr. Bliss needs to have a thesaurus removed from his colon, wherein it was undoubtedly placed by some angry freshman, but the point is an interesting one. Back in the nineteen hundreds, when to access information we needed to leave home and drive to a public building called a "library" and carefully select printed works of interest, we absorbed information only when we specifically intended to. The mechanics of this process forced us to remember specific authors and publications as being our sources. And the distribution paradigm was always one-to-many, information flowing from authors through their august gatekeeping Publishers to the plebeian eye.
Today, it's raining 'content'. The lordly Publisher, and his retinue of pimply-faced grad students who made sure that only approved Major Authors made it past the slush pile, is all but gone. Because we can search effortlessly in a world of diverse data, we no longer have to depend on a few authors we trust to define the culture we live in. And furthermore, we can now talk back. One-to-many distribution has become the shrieking of many-to-many. This confuses quite a few of us.

"As a result, stars of our Sun's generation are the earliest that could possibly form planetary systems. On a galactic timescale, we're first wave."
This is exactly my point. Our stellar system is young in comparison to others we can see, and not even that distantly. We should, or should shortly be able to see, evidence of exported life in some form from these older systems.
"Don't worry, your lack of support will be more than offset by the many legal immigrants who do support his approach to dealing with illegal immigrants."
From their published writings, the left totally does not understand the distinction between immigration and insurgency.
My primary reform would be to get rid of AC posting entirely. Our screen names already give us all the anonymity we need, with a continuity of posting record that automatically screens out trash. As an example, if Space Nutter Troll had to go back to having one posting record as Quantum Apostrophe, he would either have to engage us with rational arguments or we could just get rid of the account in its entirety, as other sites have done.
The moderation system just needs some work. Instead of having to choose between moderating in the commentary for one article or posting in it, change the granularity to the subthread level. We could moderate and post in the same article, just not in the same exact thread.
The mobile app is totally broken and needs to be replaced by something that works.
Your story is light on details, but I'm glad that you're at least not one of those SJWs whose answer to racism and misogyny is...race and gender segregation. Such an ugly word, of course, so today's hipster term is "creating safe spaces." Yes, we're better off addressing the problem of misogyny itself in early eduction before the gender groups ossify into mutually exclusive fiefdoms.

There are a surprisingly large number of authors writing in iBook format, precisely because it permits arty variations the other formats don't.
"remotely groping foreign people without being noticed in Tokyo's packed subways"
Who says that "underwater work" has to be tedious? Not for onsen no chikan, it won't be.

Fortunately, current iPads have that built-in fingerprint trigger lock that gun manufactures can still only dream of.
Whatever this was, it no longer comes up. Just a blank page.
"How is it that there hasn't yet been a single "I for one welcome our new insect overlords" post? Is this not Slashdot?"
That's because the enzyme didn't turn the nest into a Beowulf cluster of ants.

Since Copernicus, any claim that "we're special" has become an extraordinary claim, and therefore requires extraordinary evidence.
NoW had you made a real edit, say to fix a spelling error, it would have been instantaneously reverted.

Dr Fermi raises his ugly head again: Why has this not already been done? Bear in mind that our solar system is not that old, as stelar systems go.
The Forbes link demands that I turn off my ad blocker. Therefore I won't click on it.
What we need to concentrate on now for maximum science return is closeup exploration, with rovers if possible, of the Jupiter and Saturn icy moons.

"press releases about AI will become more desperate."
And also, press releases about fusion.

"To many people in the world, the BBC is a fountain of information and not propaganda like the US equivalent."
The beauty of our system is that there IS no US equivalent. Each private station is just as biased, but competition produces a diversity of bias.
What's Latin for "whoosh?"
