Moderate exercise, like walking, some time after a meal has a good effect on blood glucose peaks. There's more to exercise than just burning the calories.
That's because the graph is made from monthly data. There have been a few hotter months before, but 2014 still ranks #1 when you average the whole year.
You can download the code they use for the calculations. Feel free to analyze it, and write a paper about any flaws you find. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gist...
thereby redistributing the mining hardware and decentralizing mining, as it arguably should be.
Large scale decentralized mining isn't going to happen, though, because mining will always be at the edge of profitability, where only the most efficient survive. Those are the large scale operations in areas with cheap electricity.
Or you need to do stuff that requires special instructions, like enabling/disabling interrupts, or magic co-processor instructions that flush the cache. Of course, if you're lucky, somebody made C wrappers for them, but that's not always the case.
In that case, you'll need to send a refinery to space. Any idea how much mass that is ? And even then you'd still be limited to small pieces (ablating too much during descend) and hard impacts (scattering your profits). If you add up all the cost, space mining just doesn't make any sense. Where do you get all the energy for your mining and refining ? Asteroids are far from the sun, so solar panels aren't going to work very well.
It's much easier to stay on Earth, and go after the low grade ores. We have plenty of those.
Yes, all of the kids are supposed to read. Not all of them need to understand computing. Instead of trying to get all the kids on the same level, it is better to recognize that different kids have different levels, and send them to different schools.
If the kids already know enough of the subject matter, that's a good indication that the class can be dropped, and replaced with something that they don't know much about.
Deorbiting requires removing a lot of energy, and that's almost as difficult. Notice for instance that our capability to bring stuff in orbit greatly exceeds our capability to bring stuff down. The best thing right now is the cramped Soyuz reentry vehicle, barely capable of bringing three astronauts and some carry-on luggage. The Dragon capsule promises a bit more, but it's still nothing compared to what you would need to do mining. And don't forget that the reentry vehicle needs to be launched from Earth, putting limitations on both mass and volume.

The current trend is statistically significant over decades.
They're talking about a slowdown, not a full stop, and the data is not inconsistent with the long term trend.
Here you can see it in a graph: http://woodfortrees.org/plot/g...
The temperatures from the 10-20 years have not dipped below the long term trend line.

No, the warming after the last ice again stopped a few thousand years ago. The current (much faster) warming is a very recent event.
It doesn't happen every day that a customer walks in, so they wanted your contact info to send a thank-you card.
Transaction fees are already in use. The amount can vary based on demand and supply, so no reason why those would kill bitcoin.
The difference is that virtually nobody follows those parts of the bible, but there are still millions of Muslims who follow those rules.
Yes, there are people who call other people prophets. We can agree on that. That doesn't mean anything, though.
The koran just says that all infidels should be killed. Drawing of cartoons is optional.
As long as my religious friends don't push their religion in my face, we'll be fine, thank you.
Too bad many muslims aren't very tolerant or respectful towards non-muslims. Maybe they should be shot ?

It's the middle of January everywhere else too.
It's good because it gives us more time to engineer a smooth transition to alternatives.

If you want to get the most out of an 8-bit microcontroller, you'll need assembly language
Or you just throw your 8-bitter in the garbage, and grab one of the many ARM MCUs out there.
When I go to the space station, I'm planning to take a 4 centimeter long toy shark, and then I'll jump over it.
I have a black piece of paper that has all the works of literature printed on it.

Or we just keep paper books. Paper books have done a fine job for the last century helping to educate the best and brightest minds.
