Sorry, but being a Luddite ass doesn't qualify you to decide for the rest of us which scientific journals meet your personal validity test. Go pound lignite.

Perhaps we can use GMO tech to convince some other species to produce palm oil is a sustainable manner.
We have some old bootlegger caves in the neighborhood. The rusty barrel staves and distillery parts are still there. Does this mean that someone is going to keep pigs in them now?
High-income young people are exactly what a city like SF needs the most. Those are the kind of people who appreciate art, the San Francisco edgy kind rather than the major gallery art favored by Eastern hedge fund managers. They also like to recolonize old historic districts where they can buy in for less, and are able and willing to drop in the big bucks it takes to do historically accurate renovation.
Their next frontier should be the Tenderloin. Get rid of hopeless, worthless junkies like the above AC, who undoubtedly posted that from some Union Square hotel lobby. Hopefully Security chased him out before he could plug in the flash drive his connection gave him to infect the public PC with a keylogger.
It could. Copper thieves routinely cut lines in the belief that all of them contain copper. Northern Arizona lost its entire Internet service for days earlier this year when this happened in Phoenix.
More likely, one of those "stakeholders" who wants to drive the techies out of San Francisco and go back to the good old days when the street people dominated.
We could devise a scheme to communicate warnings with people 100,000 years in the future.
OR...we could recycle the waste in our own era. The long-term component of spent fuel is unburned uranium, which we can recover and burn up for additional energy and long-term peace of mind.
"In the binary alternative fork we sent up a nuclear powered satellite that failed..."
This has already happened on several occasions, including the scenario of a crappy Soviet nuclear satellite dropping out of orbit. We're all still here. In the RTG launch accidents, the RTGs stayed intact.
If there turns out to be any validity to the carbon warming hypothesis, "Going German" would be the worst thing we could do: panic building of wind and solar at massively subsidized prices, at the same time as we change the baseload from nuclear to coal. This would give us a surplus of overpriced small renewables and lots more carbon than we emit now.
In fact, there is NO valid example of a LNT toxin in nature. If you reduce the concentration of any toxin in, say, water, there is always a point at which its medical impact drops to zero while there is still some toxin present. This is because natural selection ensures that we can survive the amount of that toxin that we normally find in the environment. This includes the constant drizzle of background radiation that we live in.
In fact, the scientific term for belief in LNT in chemistry is "homeopathy."
Radioisotopes that last "longer than humankind has been in existence" are so weakly radioactive, and so small a part of a nuclear event, that we can ignore them. The most dangerous isotope in an accident is I-131, which has a half-life of eight days. That's a lot of energy it has to release in a short time.
After Chernobyl we heard the same predictions, initially of "millions of excess deaths." Exactly the sort of handwavy pseudo-statistics the flat-earth lobby outgasses when it doesn't have any real science. But after all those yaers, the Chernobyl death toll remains stubbornly at 51.
But to stay on topic: supposedly the reason Philae did not have a radioisotope generator is that these are rather large, roughly the size and mass of a person. This would have been more useful for a long-endurance version of the Rosetta itself than a small lander probe.
Knowing the exact location would be important in determining whether it will get sunlight - and therefore revive - as the comet draws closer to perihelion.

" According to the FDA, Walnuts are a drug"
But little used as such because it's too hard to keep them lit.

Here is some science on the effect of living in high-background radiation zones and cancer;

People living for generations in places like Kerala, Ramsar and Guarapari show no elevated incidence of cancer.

The one-inch gain in height was dwarfed (so to speak) by the six-inch gain in heights listed on online dating sites.

Unfortunately the H. Sapiens Mark I brain is only good at remembering bad passwords. To remember good ones, you need a password manager.

Apple just open-sourced Swift, in hopes that it will be ported to other platforms.
