Antarctic ice has actually increased significantly in the recent cold period (see the ancient Asian maps), at the same time as desertification has been on the march. It's hard to comprehend just how much water is locked up in the *miles* thick ice sheets. And yes, of course no matter low the oceans get, humans will move down to the seaside and build settlements. Whenever the oceans rise again those people will be affected, inevitability, and they will be both the subsistence poor and the wealthy in their mansions.
Too complex - there's no need for taxation anymore. It's all a holdover from real money. With fiat currency (since 1971) the government can just print as much money as it needs. The personal income tax raises about $400 billion, which is only about 10% of the budget.
The only reason for taxation in 2014 is to show that the labor of "citizens" is collateral for the borrowing of the Federal government. But with debts > 1x GDP and unfunded mandates in excess of 10x GDP, even that appears to be unnecessary at this point.
No, seriously, why? I hope it's because there was a topic you're interested in. You didn't say, but it'd have to be an awfully bullshit topic to have no interest to anyone anywhere.
Obviously sending in resumes through the front door is a waste of time. Work your network.
If you just did a PhD to kill time, then you're just a C++ developer who's been out of work for six years. If your thesis had nothing to do with the job you're applying for then *FOR THEM* you're just a C++ developer who's been out of work for six years. Maybe they wanted to know if you're aware of C++11 or whatever and that's why they were asking those questions.
But, for Pete's sake, you owe it to yourself to discover who your network knows (do you do LinkedIn?) in an industry that could use your interest's knowledge, and apply it. Unless you decided that after the PhD you hate that topic (it happens) and then you're just starting over.
You should have made friends with all of the faculty at your school while you were there, and not hidden in a cave for six years. Did you do that? Ask them for favors - maybe you can return them some day. The way it works is they help you then you help then, and it's a non-zero-sum game, but somebody has to go first.
and Netflix can support customers paying via alternate methods who are willing to stream over a VPN -- so the result of this conflict is that both sides lose, and the citizen (not consumer, although them too) loses even more.
It's a conspiracy by the Bitcoin illuminati! Who knew they had moles inside the CRTC?!?
Really? A radio and TV communications commission can block legal credit card transactions?
Presumably they simply rule the product as being 'illegal' and then the transactions also become such and there are extant mechanisms for interfering with those.
And, yes, political regulators have the ability to find a way to destroy ANY business - that seems to be what most voters want. The current system is based on silent consent - those not loudly objecting are considered to be supporting. It's a stupid framework, but that's how it is.
I fail to understand how they don't just have a Google account and then you go into some kind of 'setup' or 'preferences' panel and check/uncheck boxes for 'enable: Picassa, YouTube, GMail, Plus, Reader (oops), Wallet', etc. If that's too complex it can be automatically enabled if you go to the relevant service and try to use it (upload a picture, post an update, etc.).
I don't believe that Google is irrational, but by making their services as hard to use as possible (I know, don't read the YouTube commments...) they limit page views to some extent, which much affect their advertising stream - but I haven't seen the wisdom of why they want to do that.
Is it just that disk space is expensive and the consumption stream size's increase is only proportional to the creation stream's size on a diminishing returns scale? I could possibly buy that - I have a hundred videos in my Watch Later queue on YouTube, so they won't make any more money on my views than they would if they made it easier to upload, edit, and share videos.
Right. Everybody I know cares about saving the planet from global warming until I ask them if they've started taking cold showers. Nobody needs a hot shower - they're actually quite unnatural and bad for your skin too. Yet, I've not once gotten an affirmative answer (stick a RADAR gun on how fast they can change the subject!)
We need to stop ascribing any virtue whatsoever to hypocrites who only want other people to sacrifice (and actually call them out on their ill behavior - it's harmful in aggregate).
Yeah, and if you ask most people who have an opinion on net-neutrality, "should an ISP with settlement-free peering arrangements be able to give preferential QoS service to their paying customers on congested interfaces?" most of them will have their eyes glaze over and start rambling about censorship or something.
You don't conduct a man-on-the-street interview to understand the energy of the Higg's Field, you build an LHC. Engineering and economics can work around opinion polls and popularity contests, but they sure aren't goverend by them, no matter what anybody wishes were true.
Came here to ask the same. Somebody is patent-troll threatening them from testing landings on a barge offshore which was the sensible thing to do before actual land - for safety, not ease (waves). I'm planning to drive the family down for the first land landing, and it looks like imaginary -property knaves are doing their best to screw up this trip (and retard the progress of science and the useful arts, as usual).
but in this case the authors were anonymous - they are NOT going to de-cloak to enforce a trademark.
It's probably better for the security of the community at large to carry on calling it TrueCrypt (3.0, clear who the new team is, etc.). Trademarks exist to prevent confusion - in this case, using the same name is the minimally confusing option. The license is unenforceable and securing people's communications is more important to society than the wishes of the retired authors.
Imaginary property ain't real but the risks of electronic adversaries certainly are.
How about trying *actually" being in the woods with your friends?
Right. My kids visited with some family friends, and their kids play Minecraft 3-4 hours a day.
I guess it's entertaining, and they do neat stuff _in_ Minecraft, but it'll all illusory.
When they came home they asked me if we could get Minecraft. I told them, "of course not - go outside and build a treehouse. Get some sunshine while you're at it".
Minecraft is conditioning the factory workers of tomorrow. If we're to build a digidystopia, at least my kids can be running the thing.:/
it shows that neither know what they are talking about
no kidding - you could make a drinking game about how many elements of this story sound like they're from 2002.
The industry already settled on mp3, sans DRM. The market is not demanding anything Apple is offering.
And Bono can keep on trying to make sure poor African kids can never listen to his music (they'll never pay two days' wages for his post-Zooropa music). It's just sad that he pretends to care otherwise.
Can we quibble about the statistical method to use after we've settled the basic cause and effect relationships? Here's the retired TED talk: Religions and Babies.
I think the title is supposed to be provocative but I find it has the opposite effect (two things young men don't want to talk about...) - it's really about assumptions underling the modeling of world population.
If you have a degree from a top liberal arts school and a working knowledge of the tech, many corps will hire you "to manage the MIT kids" whom they do not trust to get anything done on their own.
Fascism - aren't you paying attention? Since when is SpaceX selling weaponry - their brand of non-violent commercialism is harmful to the health of the State.
If I were Musk, I'd put up my own space station, if this goes to Boeing. I bet one with rotatational gravity and a zero-G hub is now feasible and commercially desireable. The hub can be arbitrarily long as long as the habitat area is decent for humans, lots of work can get done at the best cost and the zero-G area can be expanded modularly.
It is a lot like driving with one hand verses two at the ten and two positions. Many people can safely drive with one hand but it is safer to be in the ten and two positions with two hands which is why we need to do it to pass most driving tests.
In theory (one, anyway) 10 and 2 are the best positions, so DMV examiners have been insisting on it.
In reality, it turns out, 9:30 and 3:30 are safer.
In theory, talking on the phone is distracting.
In reality, it's been shown that drivers who are a little bit tired are much safer if they're also talking.
In theory, texing bans will reduce traffic accidents.
In reality, people in those States text below the steering wheel, completely taking their eyes off the road, to avoid cops seeing then, while those in States without such bans tend to text with the phone at the top of the steering wheel, so they can at least keep half an eye on the road. Paradoxically, texting bans are deadly.
Tibbit's "solutions" work in theory, but reality is far more messy. To assume otherwise is hubristic.

without being a fainting Musk fanboi, if I had to choose between him and Obama to manage the country, it's Elon all the way.
Let's just assume that Obama was born in Vancouver, to level the playing field, so precedent isn't really am issue.
