So why are you so focused on Obama? He's one of a long line of Presidents who've been at best passive participants in this going all the way back to Jimmy Carter.
Why are you focused solely on Obama if you are as clean and pure of motive as you claim?
Do you believe "reprocessing" is this magical process whereby the constituent elements are magically separated using no additional input materials?
To reprocess nuclear fuel you have to chemically separate the various elemental constituents. That chemical processing exposes the processing chemicals to the intense radiation of the fuel and creates radioactive fluids and the separative elements added to the process, often at far higher quantities. In 1966 when the US tried this the Company doing so disposed of the excess processing materials by dumping them on the ground and into he local watershed. I suggest you study the history of this rather than just blather about.
The problem with any theoretical design is the same, it's untested. Pebble bed and molten salt reactors are a interesting idea but are untested, until someone builds one we don't even know if they will work. The molten sodium (the salt) used in your particular example has a tendency to burn quite fiercely when exposed to oxygen and fires and nuclear material are catastrophic failure.
Qualcomm was hamstrung by an activist investor that bought a significant chunk of the company and demanded they drop their server push, because obviously being totally reliant on a single market is a good business practice.
This activist investor destroyed Qualcomm's long term planning, had their effort continued they would be selling chips right now while Intel is hampered by their process. Qualcomm could have conceivably snagged a significant chunk of the cloud market. But when the activist investor made their move Qualcomm was forced to idle the design process and lay off all the engineering staff. Now even if they picked up the design and moved it to fruition it would take 2 years before they had sell-able product and Intel will be back by 2020.
It's really unfortunate, that single investor locked Qualacomm into the mobile market likely permanently.
As noted by the AC there are millions of such colonies where non-photosynthetic life is fed by Archaea thermophiles up to an including multi-cellular animal life that survive by feeding on the archaea processing sulfur that we already know about and study.
You should look into this a little more rather than relying on your ill-informed assumption that photo-synthesis is required for life as that hasn't been accepted theory for more than 20 years. The Bacteria and Archaea domains are almost entirely unstudied and we barely know anything about them yet we've learned enough to know that Archaea based communities of life exist all over the planet and represent entire ecosystems where archaea is producing the energy the entire ecosystem relies on. And we know about 100X more about Archaea than we do about the domain Bacteria which often live in oxygen and light free environments.
I'd be more concerned about the white dwarf, the planet would need a hell of a magnetic field for the atmosphere to survive the nova that created that white dwarf.
Got one of the details wrong, it wasn't Alibaba it was the subsidiary Alipay which today is a huge profit generating machine. Ma's attempted to steal the whole division early in it's existence and got caught.
In the early days of the internet back when Yahoo was a real company they invested a bunch of Money in a new company in China Called Alibaba (CEO Ma), they bought 50% of the company with this investment. About the time Alibaba became a HUGE company China made a legal change that required that companies like Alibaba be entirely Chinese owned. (I woudln't be surprised if Ma instigated this change himself honestly).
Ma attempted to transfer the entire company to himself without providing anything to Yahoo in the form of compensation. If there hadn't been a huge public backlash in the US towards Yahoo! he might have succeeded. In the end he provided a little money to Yahoo and walked away with a $50 billion valuation as wholey owned by himself.
Ma is a perfect example of the new class of Chinese robber barons.
I use the place to lookup stuff because Amazons categorization/features in computers is garbage but I don't buy anything there, they are never ever cheaper than Amazon anymore. I don't think I've bought anything from them since 2010.
There are some states with very capable scalping laws that would make it possible to go after employees of ticketmaster with knowledge of what's happening. This undercover recording is going to be quite the prize in those states and I wouldn't be surprised to see law enforcement move in and make deals with lower level employees to get the executives.
Ticketmaster executive staff should be hiring lawyers and working out a strategy to mitigate liability or they might end up in jail.
That wasn't the issue this article was about. There was extensive international coordination between the rest of the world on AI to try to prevent the sorts of programs like the fictional Skynet, this included extensive discussion on arming AI and various other initiatives. Believe it or not the US is opposed to autonomous weapons that can make their own firing decisions.
The Chinese on the other hand rebuffed these offers and presented a front that they believed the weaponization of AI was imminent and they intended to go forward with it, this was causing deep concern in the west because if China pursues it so will everyone else.
The biggest part of controlling the spread of arms like these is to come to an agreement that we shouldn't be allowing things like this before the AI is capable of doing it because once it's developed there won't be any stopping it.
Bunch of baloney that is. All capital intensive markets will gravitate towards a single monopolistic provider without government restraint. The automakers got around this by colluding with each other to deliberately break competition and break the very capital policies that make the markets work.
You cannot have a functioning capital market without anti-trust controls. Any market with significant capital spending will devolve automatically towards a single monopoly provider in such a case without government controls. For example, the cost to boot strap a new automotive company is upwards of $20 billion dollars. At those costs the capital markets will demand impressive levels of interest for the risk that you won't make it to profitability before the capital costs destroy you. Tesla faces this very problem and it's hounded relentlessly by their competitors and short sellers who are betting they can't make it.
Better lobbyists obviously. Deere dumped millions into buying lots of votes in congress to exempt tractors from the same repair laws that cars are subject to.
Google didn't pay lawyers to fight this, they got politicians to write new laws allowing them to move other companies wires on poles. Even with that authority overbuilding was still not cost effective. Anyone with any knowledge of how these systems were originally built out knows why.
Adding energy to a system is never going to result in a less turbulent system. That's basic laws of thermodynamics. No one needs to be evaluating if pumping huge amounts of energy into a system reduces the activity of that system.
I have a hard time believing it as well because the base kernel on Jesse (debian 8) is 3.16 and the base kernel on Weezy (debian 7) is 3.2 (3.02 if you aren't familiar with the numbering).
The article is clear the base kernel is 3.16 indicating Jesse. Maybe it's a mix but I'd like to see this confirmed.

Do you believe Trump has stopped these programs and what's your evidence?
Doesn't the continued use of these programs under the Trump administration make Trump just as guilty as you claim Obama is?
Hypocrite much?

Processing spent fuel as you suggest is extremely dirty and generates about 10x the amount of original waste, most of it highly radioactive.
People forget the US tried to reprocess fuel for a while, the location is a radioactive superfund site.
They've already taped out and have engineering silicon back.

Life is far more complex than you realize.
Absolutely inaccurate.
We know so little about the kingdoms Bacteria and Archaea that rely on non photosynthetic processes that you cannot logically make that statement.

Based on the article you shouldn't be differentiating the scalpers and ticketmaster because according to the article they are working together.
Anyone that knew Ma's history would have known he was blowing smoke up the skirt of anyone that would listen.
Ma was a prime example of the dirty business practices of the Chinese conglomerates.

No no one is going to do a study on such a thing.

They mostly fixed that and appear to have sustained a 18 month release cycle over the past few years since wheezy came out.
The only way CA could possibly get there is a huge expansion of nuclear power,
Nope, considering your whole post is based on that uniformed opinion the rest is just supposition based on a false premise.
