It'll be a toy car powered by two AA batteries. The toy and its engine are green, wouldn't you agree?
I flip a switch and off it goes emitting very little CO2. How neat. I have a small-carbon-footprint car.
--
What processes and procedures in the PAST (here's my focus) caused the car to be here? Well, let's look:
Big fossil-fueled trucks cut the tops off mountains digging out essential minerals, metals, which are shipped by fossil-fueled semis, trains, to massive extractors driven by natural gas or coal or other fossil fuel.
Fat forward through a lot of fossil-fueled steps, and separate parts and pieces are fossil-fuel delivered to an assembly factory to actually fabricate not only the toy, but the batteries as well.
That's a lot of investment in carbon-positive contribution.
Let's back up and start again at the mountaintop cutters. The drivers got there how? By fossil fuel cars. The people bought good at the convenience store manufactured by _____ ____ (hint: fossil fuel).
In fact, all along the supply line including distribution, (all manner of transportation including air and sea), people arrive in fossil fuel cars.
Even after the toy dies, the goddam thing has to find its way to a landfill via a fossil fuel garbage truck.

Back to the story: Look at the carbon-neutral plane fly.
Question: Where did the copper wires come from? Where did the battery come from? Where did the parts and pieces come from?
How did the professor and a series of undergraduates get to the hangar?
Don't get me wrong... I'm all for a plane with no moving parts and wind turbines and solar panels, etc.
But, goddammit, they have their DNA in fossil fuel and the laws of thermodynamics forbid us from getting something for nothing./rant
Facebook is looking to deploy AI on our photos to determine demographics like race, age, presence of boats, goats, grand kids, political affiliation, religion, sexual preferences, and they are going to make even more money then they do now.
I have a bot that deletes everything older than the current month. I'm a photographer and I don't want to feed that goddam machine, which pisses me off because Facebook was a great venue. I don't bother to post photos.
In fact, I'm down to 20 Friends. Used to be 750. They don't know it, but I'm doing THEM a favour, as well.
I still rely on Facebook to keep in touch with family, but because my footprint is shrinking, I'll eventually just bring it down.
I know of no way to circumvent. Email was compromised way before Facebook was created.
Other social media platforms are just as bad. In my professional opinion, we're screwed.
Doesn't matter. There's a gap in your story of ten years. You left out the evolution of Assange as spokesperson to publisher.
I follow this story in detail and have covered it ever since it surfaced because it's so interesting.
Go back and look at the details. Obama (I'll concede, but I didn't actual read your reference because of its position on the timeline) was addressing the issue as if Assange was a publisher/journalist precisely because Assange rebranded himself.
I'm deaf so I type aggressively, so I can hear the keys. Drives my wife nuts but we've been married 38 years and she knew what she was getting into and she won't close the cupboard doors EVER SO THERE'S THAT! I'm OK now.
I buy the cheap Microsoft wireless. I don't even have to set up the new one because the drivers are the same.
I was in the Navy from 1965-1974 and missed out on the drug revolution and, sadly, free love (I paid in every port).
I busted a guy smoking in the head late one night because his pipe smelled funny. I called Shore Patrol and those bastards rammed the fire escape entrance from the back of the building.
Wood went everywhere. They asked him what he was smoking and he said, "Tea." That was a you fee mism for queen mary, she's my friend (Richie Havens).
However, it WAS tea, Lipton. He stored it in his locker at the barracks so he'd have something for his pipe between paydays.
They wrote him up for having food in his locker. I talked to him later and he cussed me out. I told him, "Man, they never actually trained me on drug shit."
He called me a fucking idiot. I agreed and assigned his ass as security watch for the rest of the night at busted door until maintenance the next morning.
Fuck you. You have diminished my street cred by way of buzzword bullying.
While well played, Imma tell my momma and she'll tell your momma and you'll get a spanking and my daddy can beat your daddy.
I'm tempted to throw out DRAM, push technology, cloud computing, S-100 bus and Z-80 but the last time I did that, I got hit with vibranium, which sounded vaguely familiar, and goddamit I saw the movie and stuff.
I retired 4 years ago and am well past my prime. I'm exhibiting the same late-career ineptitude as Einstein, Hawking, and Limbaugh.
I googled my criticism before posting as part of due diligence and still missed the "JIT Gig-economy" nullification of blockchain which would not only be redundant, it would be disruptive to the 6-core AI virtual reality algorithm when we all know Al Gore ain't got no rhythm.
Will this be the same "... gather community response data..." that they didn't offer pilots for the F-35 piece of shit that ran over schedule and over budget?
Does Lockheed Martin have fucking pictures of prominent politicians with goddam donkeys?
The bottom line is no one's going to Mars anytime soon, and any thoughts of terraforming the goddam place will remain in an imaginary place in the brain.
Migration from planet Earth is a survival issue and must be done, but fuck it because we can't prevent our own extinction on this hospitable planet.
My understanding, and I'm open to a call of bullshit on my part,blockchain, in its current form, does not allow for returns or deletions. If it did, hackers would be all over that.

Say ...
I do use hand sanitizer. That may be a contributing factor.
Thanks for the tip.

I'll use a car analogy.

Had not thought of that.
Now I'm scared that all my base are belong to you because of a 51% attack.
Seriously, OK?
I do not know what that means.

Crap.
"My buddy got zapped and he's OK THIS time, but this isn't safe so I'm going back to Earth."
"Oh. My Uber app says 40 minutes. Tea anyone?"
The problem you're describing is the fault of Google Play.
Google warns against side loading, but what's the risk differential?
Google's walled garden's got cracks in it and can't be trusted.
I'm so embarrassed.
I googled my criticism before posting as part of due diligence and still missed the "JIT Gig-economy" nullification of blockchain which would not only be redundant, it would be disruptive to the 6-core AI virtual reality algorithm when we all know Al Gore ain't got no rhythm.
I apologize for my shortcomings.
... so my personal info can be quickly scraped and I can get some CPU cycles to play Farmville.
... funded by Bitcoin ...
And rides on blockchain.
You are so fucking stupid it's a miracle that you have the technical know how to sign in to /.
It pisses me off when people pretend to know shit when their narrative clearly demonstrates otherwise.
How can that possibly work without blockchain?
Buy ya books and send ya to school and ya bite the teacher.
Will this be the same "... gather community response data ..." that they didn't offer pilots for the F-35 piece of shit that ran over schedule and over budget?
Does Lockheed Martin have fucking pictures of prominent politicians with goddam donkeys?
... be the smartest kid on the block and provide hardened entry points.
Sounds like an excuse to fight fire with fire and then the US declares open season.
I do not know why China doesn't get a branded credit card from Facebook, Apple, Google and Microsoft each.
That way they could get points while buying all that stuff right off the shelves of the big box data stores.
It's not an anecdote. I was not there. It's an analogy. Analogies break down at some point because no two examples can be the same.
I used a starfish analogy in response to your elevator analogy.
I apologize for not using a car analogy.
Now you apologize for not using a car analogy and we can be such friends.
More like Terra bull.
Well, fry me for a oyster.
You're right.
Crap. That takes the ALL CAPS out of my sails.
Thanks for the correction.
There's more than this article available.
The bottom line is no one's going to Mars anytime soon, and any thoughts of terraforming the goddam place will remain in an imaginary place in the brain.
Migration from planet Earth is a survival issue and must be done, but fuck it because we can't prevent our own extinction on this hospitable planet.
So it is written, so let it be done.

Thanks for replying.
Even having no idea, I see where you're heading. Thanks.
Point taken. Thanks.
Or, apparently, live in one.
Reminds my of the tale of the young boy on the beach, throwing stranded star fish out into the surf.
A gentleman came by and said, "You're wasting your time. You can't save the star fish."
Throwing one, the boy said "I can save this one."
