That's when I knew this story was a complete joke. According to this study, China is actually carbon NEGATIVE. They're one of the HEROES of this "study." Anyone who has ever been to China and tried to breathe the air would laugh at that, right through their hacking coughs.
It's just yet another bullshit hippie "blame the evil white males in the U.S. for all the world's ills" hit piece.
The story may well be true. The problem is that you may never see the counter story on everything vegan activists groups are doing to promote THEIR lifestyle. If the egg council, or whoever, are paying for promotion, it's fine to let people know about it. But are they also going to let us know when leftist groups do the same thing? Because it's not honest journalism if you're only going to call out the people and movements you don't like, while giving a free pass to those you like.
Yeah, it shows us conclusively that a long time ago people did some stuff that they thought was really important at the time, but ended up not meaning anything.
Considering that the few attempts at space "tethers" have (I think) ended in failure and their cable lengths were much shorter, I think it is highly unlikely that they'll be able to make this work.
It has already worked. It got NASA another day of good PR and reminded Congress and the public that they're doing something with the money they're given. Mission accomplished!
Municipal broadband is outlawed in my state, and most others too. Ironically, even with Chattanooga, one of the most famous of the municipal broadband cities, the rest of Tennessee can't get it because it's been outlawed in the rest of the state.
I work in marketing, and have paid for "advertorials" many times. The most effective ads are ones not marked as advertisements. I don't see any problem with this
Well, it isn't a problem if you're a marketer. It is, however, a BIG problem if you're a consumer who's being lied to.
Because that would allow companies to get out of any liability for illegal or negligent activity by simply shifting around their management structure regularly.
It always cracks me up how every time a AAA title comes out, every mainstream game "journalist" is either calling it the GREATEST THING EVAR! or not saying anything at all. Only when a game is so obviously broken that players are in active revolt do they say anything negative at all. And even then, they just bump their normal 10/10 or 9/10 down to an 8/10.

Why are journalists handing out grants to scientists (or anyone else) in the first place?
What's the Chinese bill?

Fucking cow would probably want a 4-day work week and a full month of vacation leave.

Yes, but then we don't call them windows any more.
Yeah, but they would be great to *really* cool the room down.
Magical Elves!

The code will just write itself!
Yeah, but you can get a *25 cents* in trade-in credit for that signed Babe Ruth card. Don't you want that credit?
You can start by selling off the thousands of crappy cellphones and cheap toys piled on the floor then.
Well, I wished I lived in TN or NC then.

A hidden bunker 100 feet underground with great plumbing and electricity, and you're growing FUCKING LETTUCE??
So if the management changes, the current management is not responsible for anything.
Of course, that was WAY back in 2013, when Allen DeBevoise was the CEO of the company. Now he's just the Chairman of our Board of Directors.
Lol, I'm not even joking.

Why not?

Space stations don't have production lines. They're each unique and built one at a time.
But, sirs, that was YEARS ago--way back in the 2013 era. You can't hold us responsible for what happened in the long-long-ago!
Ethics? Us taking money from the companies whose products we review?? Firing journalists for giving bad reviews?? Literally in bed with the studios?
LOOK! MISOGYNY!

IGN PC review of Batman Arkham Knight. Not so much as a mention of any problems in the initial review.
9.2/10 AMAZING!!!
For its part, Machinima notes that this happened in 2013, when the current management was not in charge.
But you stopped taking this kind of money as soon as the new management came in, right?
[crickets]
It's may be a prototype on the ground. When it's in space and working, it's just a space station.
Still stinks, though.
You can JUST tell the difference between the 4k and 1080p.
