Yes, I was going to say. I don't give a fuck and what's more, I don't think I'll be visiting Slashdot again. It's no longer about tech it's about whoever's marketing their bullshit today.
I think the cost should be inversely proportional to the stupidity of the degree, and the likelihood you'll come out of the course knowing less than you did before you started it. For example a course in mathematics or physics should be free. A course in feminist dance theory or gender studies should cost at least $500,000, possibly more.
The left have spent the last 10 years changing the meaning of words like "male" and "female" so they no longer relate to biology, trying to enforce speech codes, making use of certain words and phrases criminal and now people are buying 1984?
This is truly the most retarded thing that's happened in 2017 so far. It's only January.
I'm open minded though. I can well imagine it ultimately coming down to healthcare spending, i.e. attending smear test programmes and so on which can catch these things early.
They need to state what the prevalence of HPV virus is in the different groups too. They've gone with the politically correct explanation that it's all down to healthcare spending when it could be down to that.
Just so I understand as it's now 2017 and the rules keep changing, it's now compulsory (possible threat of legal action in some circumstances) if you do not reinforce someone else's mental delusions, i.e. by calling a guy "he" when he wants to be known as "she".
Did he define "intelligence"? I mean you know, the software I'm working on right now is "intelligent". The program "senses" when you plug the device into the USB and makes a "conscious" choice to show that to the user by changing the expression on its "face" (user interface). It's even cleverer than that though. It changes its expression back again when you unplug it.
You mean the record that starts after the Little Ice Age and is apparently warming alarmingly? No statistically significant difference between 1998 and 2016. Oh dear.
climate change has already had enormous costs
No it hasn't. Or rather I should say, tornadoes, hurricanes (actually lowest level of hurricanes for 45 years, so that fucks up your speculations doesn't it), floods and blizzards (blizzards?) that are perfectly natural and normal are now attributed to man. There's no evidence any of these things are increasing but obviously as the population increases and more infrastructure is built, the costs of natural disasters will increase. Never
The cost of addressing climate change is insignificant next to the costs of not addressing it.
Wrong. There's nothing we can do about it. It's natural variation. But according to your "climate change" religion somehow taxes will fix it.
It takes zero time for the light from the event to reach us in its frame of reference. According to the photons the event is zero distance away. So I'm not sure it makes any sense to talk about when or where the event happened.
Both can be wrong. You don't have to support one side or the other. Remember that energy companies like green subsidies too. Remember that the giant vampire squid on the face of humanity, Goldman Sachs, was and is very interested in trading carbon credits. Of course it is. It's the equivalent of taking a 1% cut of the entire economy every year.
Just because there are lobbyists on one side of the debate it doesn't mean there aren't on the other. Conversely, there may not be on either side, just people with a multitude of confirmation biases.
I'm with Freeman Dyson on this. It's probably warmed a bit and the consequences of that warming are probably good for Humanity and the biosphere.
There was a statistically insignificant difference between 2016 and 1998 (0.02C). Both of these years were very strong El Nino years, fyi. In other words, after 18 years of "global warming" the El Nino years have the same temperature.
Please can we stop the tsunami of bollocks about global warming? It's fucking tiresome.
I know it's a cliche these days but isn't the idea of two bodies colliding somewhat more plausible than twenty? I would say of course the composition is similar to the Earth's. No doubt the bollide formed in a similar orbit and attracted similar materials to the Earth. It just lost the battle of accretion and eventually collided with it.
The funny thing about this report is that is contains a section about Putin's anti-fracking agitation. Of course he's anti-fracking. It'll crash the oil price upon which Putin's oligarchy largely depends. Nobody seems willing to comment on this, however.
Given that environmentalists aren't productive in the sense that they're earning anything except what's given to them by frightened politicians from tax payers, I would have thought that was completely fucking obvious.
Slashdot Mirror

The Obama administration never lied about anything? Or perhaps now it's Trump people are actually checking and reporting it.
Am I fucking missing something there?

Bigot.

Don't be silly.

I should get a Nobel Prize for this.
I wouldn't mark you down but I disagree. Keep an open mind and remember that paradigms break and conventional wisdom is often wrong.
That is genuinely fascinating.

Ask a photon next time you see one if you don't believe me.
Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. If they "experience" no time, they can't have travelled anywhere. It's magic I'm telling you, not physics.

Yes. The technical term for it is Rent Seeking.
One of us is a shill and I'm pretty sure it's not me.

Ah, the Spherical Cow argument. I thought you'd come back with something a little more convincing.
