The models used to predict and support climate change theories are only as good as the assumptions that go in to them. Here is more proof that the assumptions are based on an incomplete knowledge of the processes at work. So the science behind climate change is flawed and we are being fed half-truths BUT BUT BUT
Climate change is likely happening for reasons we don't fully understand however why does fear of it have to be the reason we do things? Why does it take fear to motivate us to use resources more efficiently, harvest resources less destructively, and consume more prudently? Why can't we do those things simply because it is the only rational and reasonable way to proceed?
Tend to agree with this. Fact is, it's always about pointing to someone _else_ to do the fixing. It's never "_I_ will do without my fave foods (beef?)/air conditioning/car/phone and PC and TV/swimming pool/fast food..." And as always no solutions (for others to implement) are valid except a return to the Stone Age... which simply isn't an option. Nuclear power is safely manageable and the most logical solution to clean energy. Educate yourself if you think otherwise... and _do_ something about climate change besides ranting about it online.
likely just the devs making reaching out and touching a device easier on themselves.
just think, the devs can push updates and instant fixes. they can also properly assess a customer complaint to see if it is their device or the customer has a crapload of malware on the device. its all just good business.
... it will be reported as failing for all sorts reasons except the actual one ie. the detractors are correct, it's a theoretical impossibility. Too many careers on the line for anyone involved in the project to admit they were wrong.
During the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver? The blog contains no information on the _one_ use of the Stingray. What is the blog hiding? They had the info since the blog writes:
"The VPD provided some context for its previous use of a Stingray and on the basis of the information they gave us, we can vouch for their past use (and they say there’s only been one) being legitimate, appropriate and properly authorized."
So, the time the Vancouver Police Force did use it (kept secret by the blogger?), it was legitimate, appropriate, and properly authorized... from which the blog seems to conclude that obviously it has been and is being used illegitimately, inappropriately, and unauthorized. What?
Do you want to trust the doc who finished at the bottom of the class?
Or would you rather trust the consistent advice of a machine that actually learns more and more as it deals with more and more cases, or from other machines doing the same?
If biology had any kind of 'first principles' like say physics or math, its researchers would not be constantly surprised by things like this. There doesn't seem to be any "I wonder if..." thinking in biology to push the boundaries of what is known, to intuit what might not yet have been discovered the way there is (again) in math and physics. And since medical research depends in large part on biological foundations, what is the real hope progress?
Recruiter: "So Mr... ah.. Smith. My final question for you is the important one. As for the previous questions, your silence will be interpreted as consent. So, Mr. Smith would you like to be part of our study? '

No surprise that older people are more skeptical. In fact, that's kind of a silly observation.
Of course they are! They've had decades more experience in being served BS and are more aware of the fact that some people will intentionally mislead other people for personal gain.
Once upon a time the phrase was, "[The young] are more impressionable." Well, yeah. There was another: "If you are not a socialist when you are young, you have no heart. If you are still a socialist when you are old, you have no brain." So be a climate activist when you are young, and when you get old well you'll be wiser... and seen as the 'doubter' for whatever the youth issue of the future is.
The article makes the point about 'rather than killing the baboons'. The baboons weren't exactly enjoying a 'life' but you can see where this would go. It would be cheaper if you could reuse baboons (expensive) for successive hearts.
Odd: The article concludes that experiments have to be carried out using the process but with animals whose own hearts have been removed. Not sure what the point is. Apparently, a pig's heart when left in the pig will beat for at least a decade if not prematurely stopped.

... you can see the irony in that, right?

Linux Mint running in a VM on a Surface Book. Not a purist solution but performant and a good middle-ground between OS flavours.

... of seaweed? Just something to consider as every action in the environment has consequences.
So it's not a secret nor hidden war anymore. Which is sad since there are already enough wars going on, don't you think?
Having said that, I wonder which democratic Russian institutions will be targeted? Are there any?

not everything is a nefarious conspiracy.

Damn hard to find on the ground ...

It's increasingly hard to deny his theories.
Clearly an idea by someone who has no clue about religious sensitivities, congregations, and the like.

It had to happen.
... the shooter was a problem. They didn't know exact plans and timings, but they had successfully identified a potential problem.
As with so many previous incidents, the current 'spying' privileges allowed the identification of a potential problem.
What was lacking was funding to allow continued surveillance, NOT more in depth surveillance, just more surveillance. See the difference?
Is there a belief that deeper 'spying' will permit law enforcement to do more with increasingly less funding?
Well better than tossing them back in the ocean after you cut off their fins for soup.

It's a boat wreck ... and a small one at that.
why would you ask that here? You're lucky you got a straight answer.
... really?

Meaning all that extra whatever-ware that HP includes with its offerings.
Pass.
