I remember when this technology was introduced in the 1980's in order to cram more tv commercials into a two hour long tv slot. There was public outcry on the defacing movies as art to increase profits.
I didn't have a tv, but read bit on this (I was interested in the technology). So guess now public sentiment has flipped 180degrees? See, the advertisers really do know what's be for people in the long run. MTV did a great job in decreasing people's attention spans and therefor incapable of understanding bigger concepts, problems and solutions. Brave New world
I make all of my own meals 100% of the time. I had to start when I was ten years old, so have been dong it a long time (yes, I know there's a joke in there, but STFU), but honestly, it is not that hard and anyone can get pretty fast with a few months practice. Watch some youtube videos and do what is shown on the screen. If you can pass high school level chemistry, you can cook almost anything.
The pizza must be baked for 60–90 seconds in a 485 C (905 F) stone oven with an oak-wood fire.[3] When cooked, it should be soft, elastic, tender and fragrant.
If you define it as a miscalculation, then the people in power really want to stay in the EU. So UK leaves, things get worse providing evidence that they really do know what they are doing by not wanting to leave. And this is supposedly a nonbinding resolution so are no way obligated to leave and can be ignored like Greece(?)
if you can't argue the opposing view on any contentious topic, you don't understand the topic
This was the #1 thing stressed in my speech and debate class. My school was really big on the whole critical thinking thing which seems to be largely absent these days. I suppose it is the natural effect of romanticism beating out enlightenment.
I remember computers back in the 80's being all about the money. And before that, televisions and radio before that. Piano's used to be a big thing before radio's and every house had one. At least houses of the rich people. The poor had to be content with spoons washboards and empty moonshine jugs. Oh, how things are the same but with more electricity.
As an aside, I was watching an interview with Daniel Ash today bemoaning the fact that they were popular, but never made much money, it was all about the money for them. See also Hooker with a penis
Not remotely close. In the worst of conditions in Iceland, I could walk around for minutes totally naked in the worst conditions, go back inside, dink some hot cocoa and be ready to do it again in a few hours. Mars, you'll be unconscious in 12 seconds if you space suit springs a leak and dead in 4 minutes. Iceland wait a few hours until the storm goes away, put on a heavy coat and spend a day out ice fishing. Mars, pour some hot water onto you freeze dried lasagna while looking out the window.
No, but reverse osmosis works well and is not hat energy intensive. You seem to be hung up on technical details when the real problems are what is there to do here that a robot cannot do more ccst effectively.
A lead disk, 50m in diameter and 30m thick would have a mass of 6.8x10^6kg and provide a 10^9 reduction in radiation. This could be launched to Mars using ~150 Saturn V rockets.

Nothing else.
the US will go full-on isolationist
Isn't this what the rest of the world wants?
Just wait. In fifty yeas it will be better for everyone.
Do what?
Are all your political insights made up entirely from catch quotes?
Yes. I am a science nerd and try really hard to avoid idiot politics. I suppose that makes me a bad person, but I don't care.

Maybe those in power really do know what they're doing.
I went to school for a long time to learn how to remove bias from measurements. YMMV
Psychiatrists earn a lot, but I made more money as an engineer than the dentists I knew.
Oddly enough, half the anti-gun people I know own guns.

Now get off my lawn.
Live video streaming. The thing about more cores is that for a similar application, energy usage decreases with the square of the frequency.
just wait for just wait for cars to be this way
The majority of Slashdot is pushing for this. People want autonomous cars that you call on demand and don't have to own or maintain themselves.
According to wikipedia:
[greed] may apply to the need to feel more excessively moral, social, or otherwise better than someone else.

lower escape velocity than Mars because you don't have to land on the surface
That has nothing to do with escape velocity which is sqrt(2GM/r).
a lot like Mars

elsewhere in another thread that you're a rocket scientist? Hmmmm...
Nothing escapes you :)

My neighbor pollinates her garden by hand (actually I think a qtip). Doesn't take very long and is effective.

I think sending people to Mars, or really anywhere out is space is a stupid idea. I was just commenting that it's a solvable problem.
