The article is paywalled, so we know little about how this finding was made, but let's test each journal by submitting several plausible but fake papers to it. Peer review would then be rated on how many of the falsies are caught.
Jurisdictions that have bizarre product classification rules can simply be Xed out in the zipcode database. As soon as complaints from consumers about about "Can't ship to my address" start hitting county boards and city councils, watch the weird rules melt away.
To summarize, he wants a case that would allow the court to definitively nuke the third party doctrine. He does not feel that this was the right case. He wanted to concur in the broad, brightline ruling that this decision was not.
The amount of metals we would be taking out of the ocean is still minuscule in comparison not just to the total volume of water, but to amount that gets added every day in runoff from the land.
Iron is so common on land that it is one of the metals we are least likely to want to extract from the sea. In fact, we will want to add more iron to promote algal growth as a way of sequestering carbon.
So why isn't that an issue with the naturally occurring yellowcake?
Bioaccumulation is a valid point, because nuclear waste is a different isotopic mix from the original uranium oxide. Bioaccumulating organisms see plutonium as being chemically like calcium, for example.
We shouldn't be "dumping" the waste anywhere, but building full-burnup reactors to extract all of the energy from it, which is the "radioactive for thousands of years" part. What's left will be a few useless isotopes that we can drop down a borehole in igneous rock, whereupon they will fade to background in about 300 years.
Simple software already exists for computing sales tax due in each zipcode. What everyone is afraid of is not collecting the tax, but the complexity of submitting the renevue to each state. States will be forced to come up with a simplified signup scheme, now that all these fistfuls of money are about to be thrust upon them. Because it means getting proffered money faster, simple signup will be magically accomplished in a twinkling.
Except if you do that you kill basically everything in the water. Ions are basically the most important thing for life in the ocean.
There is no threat that we will desalinate the entire ocean. All of the drinking water we produce that way not only ends up back in the ocean, but it picks up new minerals as it travels overland to get there.
Extracting any metals from seawater requires straining through large volumes of H2O. Because desalination has the same requirement, the two technologies will naturally go together. The uranium alone could pay for the whole process, with many other extractable metals as a bonus. Instead of conflict minerals, the world will have thirst minerals.
I'm glad the decision went this way, but it was a close call. The dissenting argument was support for the longstanding "third party doctrine" which is that the Fourth doesn't apply because the records are not owned by the defendant, but by his communications carrier. If this really puts an end to third party, the implications are huge. The federosaurus will try for an immediate Congressional "fix" on whatever technical grounds it thinks will keep its investigative machinery going, but it will be highly controversial.
The majority opinion was that in the digital age the Fourth now extends to cover records you have placed in care of third parties. Do we get to see our entire medical records now, as HIPAA was supposed to specify? Can a communications provider refuse to share personal records with the government now, applying Apple-style encryption to them? For companies that did so, this could be a good selling point in a highly competitive market.
Because Twitter is accessible from raw SMS, it can be the best way to get immediate news from some breaking event. Millions of users out there are tweeting trivia, but if you're that one guy who finds himself a close witness to a bombing that day, you scoop the world, even if your only communication channel is a flip phone connected to a crappy cell provider.
And of course it helps that there's this person in Washington who does nothing but tweet.
The scam is not the effect of GHGs on global temperature, which is old and well-established theory. It's the hijacking of the issue by apocalyptic radicals pushing a misanthropic agenda. Don't you wonder why any real-world solution, whether it's on the carbon emission side or on the sequestration side, gets automatically rejected?
Permanent magnet motors - which Tesla and many others either use or are moving to - use gobs of neodymium and dysprosium. Typically 2-3 kg of neo magnets per motor.
Add to that a big hunk of neodymium in every wind turbine.
So long as the "patchwork problem" can be handled by standard, easy to use software, it should not add appreciably to even a small retailer's costs. Just don't make them handle any tax differential that affects an area smaller than one zipcode.
The images are still crucially important. Sample return is the most difficult task for an automated spacecraft to accomplish successfully because there is such a long succession of things that can go wrong. For an asteroid sample return mission, closeup imaging of the target is a reasonable second best.
NASA is still smarting over the solar particle return mission that, after years exposing a set of glass collector panels to the solar wind while in orbit, carefully folded up its panels and returned to Earth at a precisely selected spot in Utah, where recovery planes were waiting to catch it uncontaminated before it reached the ground. But because someone had installed the atmospheric deceleration sensors backwards, the parachutes didn't open and the mission just smashed into the ground.
Facebook, et. Al, will close their European offices and invite EU naval forces to try enforcing this in Silicon Valley. European social media users will all run VPNs to access the global sites.

No, he wants to see the third party doctrine totally done away with, and attacks this ruling as being too narrow: https://supreme.justia.com/cas...

Yes, process heat from any source will help in making desalination more efficient.

Oh, sure. What we really need is nobody dying any more. There simply aren't enough of us at the moment.
If all the pessimistic tech-hating hippies get their wish and quietly die off, there will be plenty of rom for the rest of us.

If United Airlines did have its pilots wear blindfolds, it would be Alitalia.

If you stuck a computer this tiny inside an oyster, you might eventually get a perl.
Seawater ruins everything. You would get nothing but rust.
So how many ports does it have?

British 'Meat' is awful, even worse once boiled.
But eventually they learned not to boil everything.
Let them eat beer.
The one kind of beer you can eat is Spaten Optimator. And you have to use a steak knife.

Add to that a big hunk of neodymium in every wind turbine.
How about we pay them what they ask for their raw materials, and leave managing their country up to them?
Certainly, that way we get to keep selling yachts and Manhattan condo penthouses to their elite kleptocrats.
