Betteridge's Law of Headlines clearly states that any headline containing a question should be answered with no.
And according to the Slashdot Law of Headlines, any headline will be claimed by some AC to be a Betteridge, even when it isn't. This tells us a lot about what ACs consider as evidence.
Because nobody in official capacity wants to admit the country has been behind in generating electricity. A cornerstone of Green ideology is the idea that the generation of power can be capped because all future needs can be supplied by making our existing usage more efficient, while at the same time implementing nonsensical legal hacks like converting the giant coal plant at Drax to burning wood pellets shipped in from the American south.
Converting cars to run on electricity eliminates the need for a separate infrastructure to distribute oil and its refined products. It converts that need into an incremental need for power generation, where non-carbon sources are available.
"That left me with voting for a Tolkienesque troll, wondering what's an aleppo, can you eats it?"
Actually this improved my opinion of Johnson. Now that we are on the cusp of energy independence, we have no business fiddling with the Middle East. Seal it off and forget about it while it solves its own problems. Don't sell it any more weapons, don't import any more of its oil, and most especially don't import any more of its "refugees."
We're nerds. Our short-term priority should be burning our own oil and gas, and our long-term policy should be replacing fossil fuels entirely.
Automated cars will improve the usability of mass transit, rather than killing it off. You give your driving app a destination and let the server algorithm figure out whether you are in for a local point to point drive in one car, or whether the car will deliver you to a train at a place where one going your way is about to pass through. You will then be directed by the app to get off at a designated station and jump into another car to finish the trip. All handled seamlessly and billed by the month.
Running a maglev train in a pipe is actually a great idea, aside from the Hyperloop application. You can achieve high speeds without the threat of 'derailing' from a guideway. Pipes can be run underground in densely populated places where land is expensive and over long free spans above ground.
Or didn't vote, or kidded yourselves and voted third party are about to see the results...
Evil kidding-myself Johnson voter weighing in. Our prescription for monopoly in any area, whether it be pharma or Internet service, is to let in competition. This includes letting communities decide for themselves to form a cable-laying district.
Perhaps that this story will cause the SJWs to start unsuccessfully trying to retrain their little obligate carnivore companions to go vegan. While the rest of the world is laughing their heads off at Brooklyn and Berkeley, perhaps the rest of us can get caught up on our vaccinating.
The infatuation with starting at the small screen all the time is just that - an infatuation with something that is new. My generation started off by spending hours indoors staring at the prior small screen of television. Then we learned to pick out a few programs we liked and then spent the rest of our time doing other things. Smartphones will be integrated into culture in the same way as the obsession with social media tapers off and gets replaced with newer shinies.
Yes, if you mean the short-term effect that every successful new technology is seductive because of being successful. The teenagers of old joyrode in their Model As and talked for hours on Mom and Dad's big black wall phones. Then in the long run we integrate the new technology into culture, and life goes on as before.
The enduring contribution of Bitcoin appears to be the blockchain idea, which is being tested in a number of applications the Bitcoin developers never envisioned:
The BTC split subjects Bitcoin users to an involuntary A/B test of a change to the original blockchain that could support faster transaction processing. Let's see whether the winner is A, B, or none of the above.
I don't know anyone that has a connection fast enough to download HD video, and I live in the second largest tech center in the world which is Seattle.
To get your Internet up to its best speed in Seattle, remember to hold your tin can just by the bottom edge, and then carefully step backwards until the string is stretched as tight as you can make it. Of course, call your ISP help desk first to make sure they don't get caught by surprise and let go of the can on their end.
Asshole companies being assholes most certainly, but there is justification for blaming Canada here. We're talking about a country that has speech codes like the ones on American liberal arts campuses, but applying to the whole country. You can be hauled before a secret tribunal for criticizing religious practices or even a public figure's arrest record:
Hey, i'm a troll, not a whore. My bridge is a WPA original, dating back to the time when the Democrats built infrastructure, rather than being the party that prevents infrastructure from being built.
That's fine of you define a "business" as a boutique software house in New Zealand consisting of two guys and a MacBook Pro. If the wind isn't blowing today, you can just knock off and go to the beach.
But if your country has heavy industries and large cities, you need large-scale, 24/7 sources of power. This is why China is moving from coal to nuclear.

Ok.
I know nothing about this... But how the heck are they going to get paid, or pay for rent, hosting, etc. if there is no charge to the readers?
Let's start with: what do the costs of a print journal work out to per paper carried? Now compare the cost of online publication.

That was a joke. Now it's a serious proposal.
Richer people have fewer children? No, better educated people have fewer children.
This is wny the hatred for men on the part of academic women, the very people who should be having more children, is taking us straight to idiocracy.

I bet these workers are so incredibly glad nuclear power is such a clean source of energy.
But since Hanford was a nuclear weapons plant, this story has nothing to do with sources of energy.

according to the POTUS.
Also according to the consensus right here yesterday. Coal and natural gas is all we need.
"And if you're going to treat certain genetic conditions, the closer to conception you can get, the easier the process is likely to be."
One approach would be to preselect which specific gametes get to join in the first place, rather than rolling the natural conception dice.
So sick of all the alarmist bullshit. Gene editing is GOING to happen. It's another medical technology. Get over it.
Alarmist bullshit just means that China takes this technology and runs with it, not us.
Elon Musk invented it so it must be the most amazing thing since sliced bread!
The Musk bread slicer passes each loaf through a grid of lasers, so that the bread comes out sliced and toasted.
If two Californians are slammed together at sufficiently high speed, what particle will emerge? A waitron?
I live in Japan. This doesn't affect me at all. Why should I care about this at all?
Just take the subway over to Akihabara and buy yourself a Kodi box. Canadians only wish they could do that.
While you're there, bid ohayo to the good folks at Llaox for me.

Pro tip: Saying "antifa" outs you as a fascist.
No, 'antifa' is what the black-masked thugs call themselves. 'Ventilated' is what we call them if we encounter them here in Arizona.

These categories of "hate speech" include large areas of what in the US and Europe would be ordinary political discourse.
