Both languages have expressions that are fustian relative to the same referent in the other language. I can see a future trend toward picking the simpler expression from either language. For example, "elevator" would become "lift" and "central reservation" would become "median."
Movie stars and hippies are not as good at nuclear physics as media columnists think they are. We need to look more closely at who benefits from their hysteria.
We fly knowing that about once a year, somewhere in the world, a planeload of several hundred people will be lost. Yet we keep flying, with no debate about the danger of the technology in general. There are a few people who won't fly, but they just stay on the ground and keep to themselves. You never see them protesting to shut down airports, do you?
Why is nuclear, which has killed a total of 51 people in its entire history, all in one incident at a reactor not of Western standard design, subject to all the protests and paranoia.
Could the answer be: because the coal and oil industry has no interest in shutting down aviation.
If the price of uranium were to rise by a factor of ten, as petroleum has done in recent memory, seawater extraction, giving us virtually unlimited supply, would become cost effective. When places like California have to start desalinating the ocean to get their water supply, that will mean building the infrastructure to process large amounts of seawater. Mineral extraction could fall out of this process practically for free, paying for the desalination itself.
How long before that bursts and there are hundreds if not thousands worthless crypto-currencies, like dot-coms after 2001?
This is a list of actively traded cyptocurrencies: https://coinmarketcap.com/all/... Remember, the hoardable value of each of them is based on the idea of limited supply. Your question should be, How long before the market realizes that this has already happened?
Virtual coin, whatever variant of it wins out, has to decide whether it wants to be a currency or a commodity. It can't be both.
In the days when the value of goods traded was the same year after year, we could use gold as currency because it has been recognized as having value by all cultures and the supply of it grows only very slowly with new mining. But as soon as technology started increasing the value of all goods that could be traded, gold became useless as a currency because of its fixed money supply. It became a hoarded commodity.
Having both held physical gold and traded ETS gold (and silver), I think that FX traded XAU and XAG are attractive options by virtue of 24hr markets and high liquidity. Holding physical metals "in your purse or pocket" (or vault) is actually great fun (everyone should have 1 ozt of physical gold at home!), but does not give you a speedy way to liquidate.
Holding physical also subjects you to assay costs when you buy it and sell it.
Rather than shouting anyone down, do what China does, ignore the yammerheads and Just Fucking Build It. This applies to carbon-free energy sources and it also applies to projects that cut energy demand, like regional high speed rail.
If we really intend to phase out fossil fuel usage by some reasonable year like 2050, there is no other way.
I'm sure this thread will be filled with pithy comments and shit-talking but at the of the day, I give the guy a lot of credit for dumping money into real-world problems.
This forum has gotten to the point where the ideas I support the most are exactly the ones that attract the largest number of shitpost comments. It's become a personal metric of willingness to be adventurous.
I hardly think Trump is acting unilaterally here. Strategists are using him as a psychological weapon against Un, who probably believes that Trump has the power to press the nuclear button out of personal pique.
Filled with anti-NK propaganda, in the Korean language.
No, seed the honeypot with "plans" and "manufacturing data" for the new American "quantum wormhole bomb" of infinitely powerful capabilities and that has already been deployed in DPRK territory using "microdrones." Start a snipe hunt that diverts Un's military in hilarious directions until it runs out of resources.
Intelligence also manifests in a number of different areas, from mathematics to politics. Spend some time with a cohort of people who have scored high on IQ tests, and you will see what I mean.
Look, Bill Gates can get a lot of things wrong, that much anyone can tell. But quite frankly the smugness of the columnist is quite hillarious, on how stupid someone can be.
At least it wasn't written by E J Montini, our other Democrat.

Scots is now one of the languages in which you can read Wikipedia articles in may cases.
I have actually implemented a kanji word processor for Japanese. The standard keyboard requires skinny fingers but is less than a meter square.
"Football" means the same thing in every language in the world except in the US.
And in that song, the line is phrased that way so it scans - poetic license. "Get off my cloud" would be more grammatical but wouldn't fit.

Edh is the voiced consonant and thorn is the same consonant unvoiced. These are the first two consonants in "the theory."
More likely the Envirowackos.

This is Nigeria. Scams are 50% of their economy.
Nigeria has had this reputation throughout Africa long before the Internet. Now it's throughout the world.
Any kind of age-related technology will involve a gate-keeping price that well and truly keeps the plebs out.
The first iteration of any major new technology is expensive. Then if it's any good, it proliferates and gets cheaper.
But at least you got a Costco instead.

It's astounding how many tech billionaires see their calling in prolonging life.
At last, their self-interest is our self-interest too. And they are the ones with the money to do something about it.

Super volcanoes are like great earthquakes. After 30+ years of warnings, I'm still waiting for California to slide into the Pacific Ocean.
That’s because the San Andreas is horizontal, not vertical.

Pirsig was a paranoid schizophrenic who wrote memoirs disguised as pseudophilosophical twaddle.
At least after a learning curve he was able to fix motorcycles. Most paranoid schizos don't get that far.
