Also that doesn't take into account sea level rise from thermal expansion. That is currently causing about 1/3 of the sea level rise we see.
Uhh, no. Thermal expansion of SEAWATER does not cause a 33% increase in volume. Unless you are using some odd definition of "thermal expansion". Source: I sell pressure relief valves used for thermal expansion.
Thermal expansion of water/seawater causes a very small increase in volume. Certainly there are things that can cause a large increase in volume (like turning that water into steam) but that is not the case - at all - for thermal expansion. Your assertion is drastically incorrect.
"proof I was able to most efficiently turn a quantity of electricity into waste heat."
But that isn't the reason for the calculations. The calculations are done to verify transactions are legitimate so nobody can post fake transactions (double spend) to the blockchain. We can argue about how efficient that process is or isn't but it is incorrect to say the proof is only turning electricity into heat. It's purpose is more than that.
The examples we are continually given of "russian meddling" are laughable. First, no serious person is suggesting a single vote was changed or hacked. Second, like the parent post suggested.....the Russians are much better at spycraft and influence than the ridiculous examples we see.
A 12-man team of russians peddling facebook memes and stirring the pot isn't enough to shake the foundations of the republic. There is only one group pushing that narrative -- people who want Donald Trump out of office by any means necessary.
The poor and the toughest to educate
Why would the rich want to educate their children at a place that attracts the poor and toughest to educate? Out of altruism or something? I am asking seriously. I get what's in it for the poor people and schools but what's in it for the rich people going to crappy schools? Why would anyone do that if there is a better option somewhere else?
What you are advocating (those dang rich people should send their kids to public school like the rest of us!) doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It's like starting a war on jealousy.....it just ain't gonna happen.
How does a country struggling with obesity have a hunger problem? Answer: They don't. Instead, the word "hunger" was redefined to include people who do now know where their next meal is coming from. This is often called food insecurity.
Well, it's horseshit. All of it. By measuring hunger in this manner, they have drastically changed how hunger is measured and they have artificially increased the number of "hungry" people.
Remember that whenever you read these "America is going hungry" articles. Then go visit any populated place and see for yourself how hungry Americans are. Hint: Hungry and starving people don't drive scooters.
Your examples are 404.
Doesn't matter anyway because your 3 anecdotal examples don't overrule years/decades of experience. Democrat supporting media entities (hint: 92% of journos) routinely leave out or don't mention the perp is a Democrat. They don't do it all the time of course because that's too blatant. However, they do it often enough that it's an obvious bias. Whenever it is a republican, it goes on the front page and the world is told all about it.
The media and the Democratic party are almost one and the same. At best, the media is a propaganda arm of the Democratic party.
Don't believe me? Guess who's back....why it's our old crooked friend Donna Brazile. If you had an ounce of integrity, you would recognize that the very fact Donna is still around after what she pulled is indicative of a deep level of corruption. She's just one example of many.
And to be fair, the republicans have some chumps too. They just don't have the media to cover them up like the Democrats do.
If Putin has Trump by the balls, then he really sucks as a negotiator because Trump doesn't seem to be helping Russia much at all. If I were Putin, I'd expect a little more out of my minion.
Thanks for mentioning this. It is very easy to see for yourself. Whenever a Democrat is caught doing something bad, there is rarely a mention of the (D) party. However, when a republican is caught doing something bad, you can rest assured his political party will be mentioned in the first line and will probably be mentioned several more times in the article.
They can deny it. But we can see it with our own two eyes. It's my favorite example of bias but we all know it's way more than accidental bias. It's purposeful.
Nah, it's much easier than that. Just label all of your opposition deplorable racists. See? Problem solved....now you can ban anyone on the "other side".
Stuxnet was brought into an air-gapped Iranian facility just like this article describes. It was brought in via a Siemens PLC or controller (not sure which) that ran Siemens Step 7 OS on it.
The industrial controls world (like Siemens operates in) is a target rich environment to say the least. This is not an industry that is used to worrying about security and hackers. Nobody should be surprised by this.
With the Chinese, at least the government is the doing the scoring, so you can understand the nature of the beast
I hope you are joking or this was sarcastic. Chinese transparency isn't high on the priority list in that system of government.
It's been fake news for a long time. I think you forgot how fake news started: It started by the large media providers (NY Times, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox, etc) calling out the sites you mentioned as fake news. The only problem is that the spotlight accidentally shined upon them as well. All of a sudden it became obvious that something way more sinister was amiss than normal journalistic "bias".
It's almost as if employees are being offered pay and benefits that are directly proportional to the value they bring to the company. Huh. Whoulda thunk
Not sure where to start with this. First, your comment is insulting to all the people who worked so hard to get where they are. That involved sacrifice, commitment, and dedication to acquire the education necessary to be competent in the field. Then, you further insult them by suggesting their career success and pay rate is simply due to luck.
I have to ask: what planet are you living on? Do you really think luck plays a bigger part than hard work for successful peple? If so, I pity your worldview. It must be difficult to be so beholden to fate. Why even try?
The fact is, most of the people who are successful in their careers did something to deserve that success. Luck plays, at best, a bit part in that success.

Interesting choice of words. They are true of course....but it's interesting how you framed up the argument. You relied on the NYT's historical credibility.
Is it possible that in recent years (10 or so) the NYT abused the credibility they built up over 100+ years and as a result, they have lost their status as the paper of record for most of America? That doesn't seem to be in dispute except in places like NYC, LA or Chicago. The rest of America sees the NYT pushing a specific agenda and they are reacting accordingly. Yes, I know that Edwarrd R Murrow says news orgs aren't supposed to push an agenda.....but they are. And it doesn't take a genius to see it. It's blatant.
Actually, no. You seem to have missed the words "Includes legal tender notes, gold and silver certificates, etc.". The debt on that page can increase when the government prints more money.
No, you have it backwards. Money via debt is how the US government PAYS the obligations and promises it is has to pay. Can't meet those liabilities (like pensions, medical care, etc) with tax revenues? Well, then spin up the printing press and print more of those dollars that are owed. Let all the suckers and savers eat cake because now those dollars you are saving/hoarding are worth a lot less. BTW, this is exactly how Zimbabwe and others get into trouble. They have debts so they print their way out of it and in the process, they destroy the "buying power" of their currency. This is well known and well understood economics. The US does this too but not on the scale of Zimbabwe
We have been witnessing this - in real time - for going on 30 years now. The difference is that the US dollar is a world reserve currency so it can handle some large increases in the money supply without causing too much negative effect (so far...). But that is not unlimited and if we continue to add debt to our country in order to pay our bills and promises, eventually those choices will come home to roost.
If they had probable cause to surveil Carter Page, then they wouldn't have included the dossier in the FISA application. The dossier is absolutely the reason that the FISA warrant was issued. Without the dossier, the warrant would not have been granted. By the way, those aren't my words.....that's what Rod Rosenstein told Congress.
The Steele Dossier was merely corroborating information.
Wrong. The Steele Dossier was an opposition research product purchased and paid for by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton Campaign. It is nothing more. It's not "intelligence" nor is it corroborating information like you wish it was. It was a paid-for report by political operatives.
The firm that wrote the dossier? You mean Fusion GPS owned by Glenn Simpson? Interesting you bring that up because it turns out he was hired to produce the dossier for.......The Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign.
They didn't create the dossier as a service to the country or whatever gobbledygook they are peddling, they created it because they were hired to do so. That's important.
