Nice flamebait. First of all, there are no Feminazi's. That derogatory term is mostly used by male chauvinists who want to enforce old fashioned gender -roles-. There are feminists, and they hold various ideas about equality. Second, the research is not about gender, its about changing brain functions of mothers.
Let me rephrase that for your tiny tiny male chauvinist brain: no feminist ever said that men and woman were created biologically identical. Most feminist do agree that most gender ROLES are a social construct. Most feminists see the fact that some people feel like they have been born in the wrong sexe, and therefore identify themselves as a different gender.
Im not sure the slashdot moderation does what you say it does. The meta-moderation seems to work pretty well, as in, obvious trolls from both nationalist alt-right and SJW left are often modded down. Topical opinion on both side seems to float up. Not to say it always works.. but it works better then thumbs up, down or other shitty yes/no moderation.
"Normal" in the us, where nobody has ever worried about energy savings ever it seems.
In the Netherlands a "normal household" (2 adults, 1 kid) uses about : 4kw electricity and about 5kw in natural gas. We are a cold damp climate, no airco's needed, but the heater is on about 80% of the year.
Deep inspection is a breach of my privacy. How the hell do you logically separate VOIP from "streaming audio" in any case? Logically VOIP is nothing else but TWO streams of audio... But the very best, and really only important argument is; keep your prying snooping eyes and judgement out of my data.
Calling this area a "Island" where the oriArticle does not is not "factual" but misleading at best. The best way to describe this are might be a thin plastic soup. With occasional bigger floating plastic dumplings. The article calls it a "patch", nobody but clueless lazy media calls this a "Island".
Calling people who actually try to do (as little as we can) something, in a non profit, "pretenders trying to make a living" is down right malicious.
It utterly amazes me that no major sites have adopted a slashdot-like meta mod system yet, seriously web-guys! Talk to your bosses. This is a nighties solved problem.
You premises are wrong: You define "crowded" one way, and claim Kurtzweil does not follow (your rather arbitrary definition).
You seem to equate "nature" with "unused bits of land (by humans)", thats wrong, because humans are part of nature, even if you re-define nature to mean something like "all life except humans", then wrong too, because every bit of surface of this planet has been touched by humans, and is therefore "used" by humans. The ocean is where we store our unwanted plastc, the Arctic and Antarctic is where we power our global airconditioning. (Mind you we have limited ice supply, hence its time limited airco)
So Kurtzweil must mean something like "unsused for habitation (aka: not cities)" So the issue becomes humans could use the planet far more efficiently then we do now for habitation. Its easy to see that we could form a few more London/Paris/New York's right here in The Netherlands and we could house many more people.
Now, thee shit will hit the fan with regards to some resources (Where will the energy come from), but the resource we actually have plenty of is space... we still can go UP and DOWN, and we can even get rid of some of those "single tree that is allowed to fall down after a meeting"
Intellectual means "of the intellect" and is thus intangible. Property has always been used as a nomer for physical items that are clearly in possession, after all possession is 9/10th of the law.
This whole "IP" terminology is thus clearly double speak, and should be avoided. The whole legal constructs around them, be it patents, invention or copyright are only there to not disrupt existing economic structures. They are a philosophical abomination, especially in the digital age, where copying is cost-less, and distribution nearly so. This is true for books, code, movies and basically everything digital IMHO, and in this case even more so.
In this particular case of Oracle vs Google regarding Java "IP" we are talking about API Headers. To anyone with some coding background, API Headers are a description of a system. They are not patentable, as patents require implementation. (In Europe software is considered "math", and atm not patentable at al) They should not be copyrightable, for the same reason that announcing you will write a book about Fire and Ice and Dragons is a description of a book, but not the book itself. This description should not grant you the right to be the sole author of books about Fire and Ice and Dragons.
I applaud Google in this fight, and I hope they fight till they win.
No. They are not. (Or for some people, they will not be)
Ever thought about a hearing aid? How about a hearing aid that records things? handy huh.
Soonish rather than latish, some guy will implant a hearing aid, with large capacity of storage, either connected, or local, and they will have the ABILITY to record their life in autdi, and polayback whenever they want. Possibly mind controlled.
No Sci-fi, possible today, with current technologies.
If you think beating upa disabled person, in the Mac D's, for wearing what looks like a google glass(hole) apparatus. Wait till hearing aids with recording become popular....
(Woudnt it be AWESOME, if you could re-wind that lecture, or that song, you heard years ago?)
There is only a "pause" if you very selectively look at the data. I suggest "the pause" doesn't exist.
"Why should we continue to trust them blindly"
We do not. We do not trust them blindly now, and we will not start doing that anytime soon. Science is based on objective verification of theory against data, and trust has no meaning here. Blind trust is just a strawman.
"They obviously are missing something"
Sure, the body of knowledge on any topic and most certainly on "Climatology" is still incomplete. Gravity is another such topic where we are "obviously still missing something".
However, those facts do not mean that what we DO know, is invalid and/or useless.
But can someone explain how it would be possible to have Linux, the -GPL- kernel, binary compatibility without having Linux, the -GPL- kernel, in Windows? This isn't the eighties, where you can copy an OS by reverse-engineering. Let alone keep it up-to-date.
He is not saying one thing and doing another. He is not saying "some" rich people should pay more (that would be impossible, because competitors that do not, will eat his and his clients lunch). He is saying ALL rich people should pay more. Two different things really. And really, it IS possible to be rich, and be socially emphatic.
This is about at "nanny state" bullshit as it comes.
What the hell do you really want? -Mandatory- "kids internet"? What if the parents think you should stay out of their fucking business? I don't want your creepy morals near my kid. Now GTFOML.
So powerlines were struck with explosives, and somehow this may be related to cyberattacks? I think this powercut is preview of what the U.S. may one day face with an alien invasion. Or zombies.
The promise of 3d printing is however, that soon, we all will have a 3d printer, and replicating anything can be done for cost-of-material and energy. Your metal shop may soon be out priced. And require less know-how. Of course the whole "you may not know this particular bit of information" ban is a general thought-police ban, and as such is utterly evil.. but yeah..
The op point is that, with no government, there are essentially no rules. Rules are always limiting some freedom. The ability to freely kill people for example. Not arguing pro or con of anarchy here, just pointing the flaw in your counter argument.

"Hillary voters in much of the south. Their candidate can't win in their state,"
Well... that was true until Trump. Now I fully expect some Red states to actually turn Blue. "Pussy grab", can you say "Land slide"?
Well, close enough. CERN is not a city but an organization with its main sites located in Switzerland near the city of Geneva.

I dont understand why people like Trump as a politician either, he is not a politician.
Doesnt seemm to stop him from having an opnion....
In fact, I regard Scientists opnions on politics and business a LOT higher, then politicians (or bussiness-men) opinion on science.
Riddle me this.

I think the point may be its a bad watch. And a bad phone.

So many fallacies... where to begin...
"Existing models failed to predict "the pause.""
There is only a "pause" if you very selectively look at the data. I suggest "the pause" doesn't exist.
"Why should we continue to trust them blindly"
We do not. We do not trust them blindly now, and we will not start doing that anytime soon. Science is based on objective verification of theory against data, and trust has no meaning here. Blind trust is just a strawman.

However, those facts do not mean that what we DO know, is invalid and/or useless.
There is a point where "science ignorning" becomes "criminal negligence". Especially when you continue to pollute the planet for personal profit.
I swear Ill give Windows another shot...
But can someone explain how it would be possible to have Linux, the -GPL- kernel, binary compatibility without having Linux, the -GPL- kernel, in Windows? This isn't the eighties, where you can copy an OS by reverse-engineering. Let alone keep it up-to-date.
"I'm voting for him primarily because he makes them so angry."
Remember that when he starts bombing woman and children on purpose.
"Hey, I just voted for him, kappa"
