Um, why would they be in peril? Their job is to cure cancer. If a new tool helps them find more cancers earlier, they'll have more cancers to cure (as opposed to cancers that aren't found until it's too late and kill people).
Actually the tulip mania is way over hyped. It didn't destroy the dutch economy and it didn't affect all layers of society. The bullshit you're spouting about tulip futures and options is bullshit.
My phone is coming up on 4 years old (HTC One M8).
The battery life is now noticeably permanently degraded. It does mean that it's fairly quick to get back up to 100% charge, but it also fast to deplete.
So keeping a phone for another 3 years will mean significant battery decay.
Ripple does have a coin, but it's used as 'grease' to help out the transactions. You can transact on the ripple network without the coins being involved at all.
Because people can't erase their phones and download apps again? You know there's a huge group of people who are continually fucking about with modding their phone etc?

There was a high profile court case about this in New Zealand: ============== The man who allegedly told Christine Rankin he felt uncomfortable when she moved as he could "distinguish her breast", today told the Employment Court he did describe her dress as "indecent" and "offensive".
Mark Prebble, head of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, was giving evidence for the Crown on the eighth day of the Department of Work and Income boss' damages case.
In describing his first meeting with Mrs Rankin in April 1999, Mr Prebble told the court: "I was surprised that she had a very low-cut neck line. I thought it was revealing to the point it was indecent, and I found it offensive."
He said he was embarrassed by her low neck line, which was "improper for senior staff". ==============
She wasn't re-appointed to her role after her fixed term contract ended. She alleged sexism and political interference, and lost her case.
Considering I've had a patent filed after March 16 2013 and have had the patent examiner reply back with prior art they claimed invalidated my patent, you're simply full of shit. Prior art still matters.
In my case I rebutted their claims and clarified the novel aspect of my patent. Have not heard back for several months now so I am assuming no news = good news.
If a specific goal of the policy was to prevent a certain make of car from being included, then there are two things they can do: 1. Explicitly exclude that make (or make + model) from the policy 2. Set the price cap at a level that means even the base version of that car does not qualify
The regulators chose to do neither, instead they negotiated with Tesla to allow their cars to slip through a loophole.
"The carmaker said the upper price limit was initially set by the German government to exclude Tesla, but later a compromise was reached "that allows Tesla to sell a low option vehicle that qualifies for the incentive and customers can subsequently upgrade if they wish." It said"
Seems pretty silly if a substantial part of the reason for the price cap was to prevent Tesla cars specifically being included, but then they did an end-run around that by letting you buy the base model + the upgrade. I bet you can buy the "base model" and receive the "upgrade" before you even drive it away, and still get the credits.
"This is a completely false accusation. Anyone in Germany can order a Tesla Model S base version without the comfort package, and we have delivered such cars to customers," Tesla said in a statement.
"Steel is more useful than gold, and is less than 10% of gold's value."
It's also far far far more abundant.
The things that gold is good at, generally the next-best alternative is quite a bit worse. Hence why gold is so valuable - because it is quite good and not very abundant.
"Most of these require gold in minute quantities."
Actually I think many things would use gold if it were as abundant as steel. But it isn't, so it's reserved for only the things that really need it, and cheaper substitutes are used where they can be.

Er, no.

Making crap up to reinforce your point is a good way for people to ignore your entire argument.
Right, so if we need to sequester XXXX amount of carbon, and we can plant enough trees to sequester X, and then rely on "forests" to continue to keep X sequestered permanently so long as we don't chop the forests down for any purpose (ever), what do we do to sequester the remaining XXX of carbon?
Realise that coal and oil, the main sources of the CO2 in the atmosphere, was buried far underground in structures that are difficult to put wood back into. And that coal and oil are both much more carbon rich than plain old wood, so they can fit more carbon into the same space as wood does.

If AC didn't exist to transmit the power over those distances, most of the power plants would not exist.
Yes, like eating factory farmed meat and driving inefficient CO2 spewing machines for personal transportation.

There are about 1,300 coins, not 4000.
There are lots of ICOs / tokens on Ethereum, though.
LEO is not geosynchronous. So good luck launching what is effectively a space laser that will be cutting swathes across the globe.
Why are you comparing a programming language to an instrument?
Why not just compare it to a normal human language, and say that writing a program is like writing a choose-your-own-adventure novel?
Sure, but what do *you* do? Because we know you don't make computer games, so what is it that *you're* working on?
So Ripple, then?

From the summary. Try reading next time.

"A currency which the value of has increased some 10 times in less than a year is a pretty poor currency. There's no incentive to ever spend it."
The opposite, actually. The price can only go up so high, and it's far more likely to go up and crash, and it is to go up and stay up.
So better to spend it to day and realise value, than hold onto it and lose value.

It's going to take a couple of hundred years for the sea level to rise by 2-3 metres. So your plan might take a while to pay off.
Building nuclear plants uses lots of concrete, which itself is a big producer of CO2.
