Yes, a terrorist could aim tech like this not at man directly but at species that are critical to us, like wheat. But our recusing from GMO technology does nothing to prevent bad guys from misusing it. All it would do is prevent us from defending ourselves.
Only about 200 of the 3,500 species of mosquitoes even bite man, and of those there are 5 species that spread disease. The ecosystem will do just fine.
Instead she chose to call customer service and then whine to the news.
There are certain companies, and certain entire lines of business where calling customer service just doesn't work. Airlines are notorious for this, and so are cable companies. So in such cases you can only get justice by shaming them on social media.
Doing science there with some initial and relevant technological development that involves humans is what will determine if there is any point in colonizing beyond LEO. Why wait until we reach the asteroids or Mars to find out if we can build habitats out of regolith or mine and smelt metals. The Moon is so close that it takes the long spaceflight problem out of the equation.
What science can you do on the moon, that cannot be done cheaper and easier on earth?
Science about, you know, the moon. Characterize its resources, look for lava caves and other features that may be of interest to colonists, and examine what the immediate surface deposits have to tell us about the history of the Sun.
If vaccines didn't work, I would be dead a few times over already, and you have had at least three cases of tetanus. And did you ever why smallpox is extinct, and why there is mo more polio scare every summer?
What color is the intensive care unit ceiling on your planet?
The foldability is the one interesting thing about this product. It will sell just because of this feature, meaning that we will quickly find out how durable this screen is in the field.
I was talking specifically about the energy part of GND. Running an industrial economy with large cities on all renewables is a pipe dream. The GND even omits the most important renewable, hydro. It also leaves out nuclear, which would mean that like Germany, we would have to live with coal and gas forever.
Walmart has groceries, including fresh produce, with a more limited selection than Safeway or Kroger. Dollar stores are all small sizes of prepackaged goods, and no fresh produce. It's the Walmart haters' own goddamn fault when they drive a big box store out of town to have its stock incompletely replaced by a series of dollar stores.
Because as rad-hardened teleoperators improve, there will be a point at which we will want our robots to be able to take the corium out in small chunks to feed breeder/burnup reactors.
The Concorde was for early adopters willing to pay the price, like today's space tourists, knowing that it would be followed by improved versions. Nobody knew then that we would be backing out of the entire idea of supersonic transportation.
A company with Amazon's riches shouldn't be looking for direct subsidies for a location. Any city that forks over $3 billion to a company locating there is going to expect some degree of control. In a place like New York, a lot of this control will come from yammerhead activists, including Scary Teeth Lady herself in this case, pushing their favorite lost causes. They would probably unilaterally demand that the Amazon center be powered by unicorns.
Haven't cities had enough bad experiences with sports teams who promise to locate in a city that promises to build it a new football palace or baseball Bastille? No sooner is the paint on the new stadium dry than the team runs the same scam on some other town willing to go full Mad King Ludwig on a rival palace.
To me personally the golden age of air travel was the early Seventies. Everyday passengers could enjoy the mass comfort of three competing widebodies, while wealthy early adopters could go supersonic on the Concorde. Now both the widebody and supersonic options are gone, and seats keep getting smaller. Even the speed of the average large commercial craft has declined from 600 mph to 500-550.
The plane the airlines really like now is the 737. Although it was designed for short domestic flights by carriers like Southwest, there is a steady trend to push this craft into the ind of longer-range applications it was never designed to serve. I hereby predict that Boeing will produce a 737 Ultra Extended Range, with additional fuel tanks, drop tanks on the wings, and room for perhaps 50 passengers, to serve transpacific long-haul routes.
A large impactor in Greenland would melt the whole icecap immediately but temporarily. Could this be the origin of anomalous warming events like the Younger Dryas?
An army of robots will do most of the mining and smelting work, but there will be no substitute for onsite humans in command and control, dealing with who-knows-what unknowns. The latency at this distance is too high for teleoperation, and the real-time decisionmaking that goes with directing a robot army is not something our AI will be capable of doing until it achieves real consciousness. Having humans go there along with the robots is slightly less "impossible" than conscious AI.

I wonder if any of those pages will contain information about the crimes the state of Israel has perpetrated against Palestinians.
No, hopefully it's only full of real history.

Usually this refers to a successful product. Apparently at Theranos it applied to the CEO herself.

They should not be vaccinated. Let Darwin have his share of idiots.
This is the cure for most forms of medical quackery, but the antivaxers affect people other than themselves. It's like overuse of antibiotics.

An entire science thread full of troll posts. Melting of this site is confirmed.
Or will it be a huge vat of sun-ripening algae for producing biodiesel? Either way, Scary Teeth Woman's home would be a great location.
If the earth were flat, cats would have already knocked everything off it.

The difference is left tries to reason with our kooks.
Tell that to the politicians who cooked up "Green New Deal." The left kook position on energy is baked right into it.

We could stop using coal for power if we went nuclear, but AOC will only support unicorns.
I remember the city of Phoenix buying Japanese trainsets for its one urban rail line, and it got some federal funding.
