In primordial times, when I was young, not all of the XY-enabled drove cars to impress the girls. I drove my crappy Chevy because it was the only way to reach the girls and mingle with them in the first place. I suppose today's young whippersnappers just Uber everywhere. Either that, or the girls have retreated so far into third-wave feminism that the boys have discovered second-wave mother's basement.
But the Church of Warminetics teaches that all observed weather "events" other than flat calm - storms, floods, droughts, blizzards, ship-crushing icepacks in midsummer - have a single cause, anthropogenic warming. And we must obey. Pay no attention to the logical contradiction behind the curtain.
The standard surgical anesthetic that could be a logical replacement as an execution drug has been off patent for years, so there is no reason why we can't make our own supply. As an alternative, I'm sure we could extract our own supply of fire ant venom. Hey, it's natural.
From a monopolistic, overpriced medical device industry that is about to get 'Ubered," like the medallion cabdrivers.

Programmer Privilege
·
· Score: 1
So if programmers were made to wear those fake-muscle shirts, put in some tanning bed time, and wear lifts in their shoes, the external perception of "privilege" would be erased? We would call it 'Vonegutting',and it would be a standard corporate program administered by HR.
Nothing offends political alarmists more than good news. In this case, the systematic "burning" of Cold War nuclear weapons as commercial fuel to light the very cities they once threatened. So the Doomsday Clock alarmists are moving the goalposts once again. Apparently the doomsday being measured now includes manmade climate change.
And just as a faxed document is not stored data, neither are these scanned images. At least use a system like ReCaptcha to crowdsource validity of the digitization process.
If a patent on polio really existed, Time-Warner would own it and be publicly lobbying Congress to extend it into infinity. And the vaccine would be outlawed as "circumvention."
And if one airline passenger from one of these countries happens to arrive in the US as a carrier, you're not going to want to let your children play with others this summer. Anti-vax cultists are steadily chipping away at our herd immunity.
What you mean is that our technology has peaked and that we - the anti-nuclear, anti-GMO, anti-vax remnants of a once-proud industrial society - are doomed to remain on this rock for good.
But there is intelligent life in Shanghai. Undoubtedly, they were watching this flight with great interest.
AC is too young to remember when company commuter buses were Good, because they reduced resource usage and freed up highway space taken up by all those lone-driver cars. Greens actually lobbied for cities to subsidize them. But the Bay Area left is fighting a different battle now. Apparently the company buses represent class privilege, which makes them Bad once again.
Let's attack the real problem, which is San Francisco's insane development planning laws, which just this week responded to an ongoing shortage of apartment units by making it illegal to store anything other than a car in one's own garage. You have to go chew up more of that precious Environment renting a storage unit to keep your fireplace logs, barbecue gril and artificial Christmas tree. Time to zero out the funding for these crazies and let private enterprise rocket free to build apartments and condos to relieve the housing crisis.
You can't "nullify" radioactivity, but what Japan needs to do is develop bioconcentrators that can be scattered at Fukushima and grown to concentrate radioisotopes. Certain fungi, for example, will enthusiastically mop up cesium at concentrations of thousands of times soil concentration. Now that the iodine from the meltdown has long since decayed away, the Cs-137 is the main contaminant left.
Of course the price of Bitcoin matters. For a currency to be useful, today's price must be close to yesterday's and tomorrow's price. If the value changes faster than some small delta, nobody wants to retain an account in that currency and any Bitcoin balances will be immediately traded away for goods or another money. Bitcoin balances held only for speculation would have to compete with gold, which has been used this way for millennia.
Those who spew racial stereotypes are ignoring the all-important Luddite factor. Europe may spend almost as much money as China on R & D, but given a continent full of people who pride themselves of not buying genetically modified products, what's the point of doing research on genetics? Afterf a year when Germany has just opened a record number of new coal-fired power stations to replace its foregone nuclear capacity, why should Europe keep spending money on that Large Hadron Collider when the discoveries flowing from it will be going into new energy projects to be built in China? In the UK, even the newest bullet train line is running into echo-Luddite opposition. If your company contracts for building rail infrastructure, wouldn't you rather bid in a country whose commissars can just point to a place and say, "The new maglev lines goes there..."?

Because (and I'm not even European) they have a choice. In Europe, you can take the train.

Soon after the dragon attack, every colonist got an email from Google to the effect that the beta had been discontinued.

Now we're really straying from "News for Nerds."
"You're cold this winter? Weather is not climate, you fool!"
"You're hot this summer? See, warming!"
"You're cold this winter? According to our revised hypothesizing, this proves warming!"
This is when the public's BS meter pegs.

Pssst! Buddy! There's no finer phlogiston on Allah's green Earth than what I have to sell you!

That was because his comment was based off of a more colloquial dictionary than yours. Here, have a Budweiser.

He said "sustainably." That's political code for 'not involving the slightest degree of risk, even for those who voluntarily assume it.'

Holy crap! I forgot to feed my cat! Being a physicist, I now have no idea whether he's alive or dead.

Obama, privatize it? It will be President Paul who will sell the ISS to Bezos-Chang Enterprises, which will refurb it to ferry crews to Mars.
