I'm not very sanguine about the prospects for voluntary decarbonization. So it's probably worth wondering what the end game of carbonization looks like. We do read about lots of uncomfortable change like a warmer equator and rising seas. Both of these are inconvenient but I would bet they are adaptable. Climate zones will rise on mountains but there will be areas for food growth. Cities will need to move back. There will be mass disruption probably mostly due to the inhogeneity in how these burdens are distributed. If there weren't borders then people could just move from the inhospitable areas. But there are borders.
However I suspect that long before we even get to that point another much more massive force will depopulate the united states and other countries. Namely the spread of malaria, yellow fever, dengue and the like. These have never been tamed just held in check below there threshold for spreading for a couple hundered years, and historically caused death rates among new colonists as high as 90% when the americas were first colonized.
Unlike the slow spread of rising temperatures, plagues are enough to topple nations in a decade, faster than any governement can react. Ask the Irish or Maya or Inca or east coat native americans.
Thus the problems with global warming may not be an unihabitable planet but the death of nations and the ensuing warfare from border and resource re-adjustment.
But I suspect that eventually a new equilibrium will take hold where a new regime of globally warmer temperatures comes into balance and life will go on.

This can be used to coerce the Rich who aren't loyal enough. You are corecing them not through economic measures, or curtailing their off shored wealth but by physically limiting them in a way they cannot escape by their wealth. And if they want to leave the country then it can easily be applied to their extended family as well so there's no escape.
Every cell has differences in gene expression from another cell. So it's hard to say what they are talking about from a press release. But one assumes they are seeing large globally different changes of the kind one might call epi-gentic. If that's the case this is non trivial. It means he's living in a new equilibrium state of his gene expression. As an example, female and male alligators have identical genomes but their sex is determined epi-gentically by altering gene expression.
The National St. Paddy's Forecasting center is predicting a violent disruption of geospatial equilibrium and thought competence the morning of March 18th.
Some neat effects can be done projecting onto building and statue faces and then suddenly animating them. Imagine the possible panic attack road hazards one could get. Huge cracks opening in the earth with lava bubbling up. A large 16Tonne weight suddenly falling from the above. A wrecking ball swingin down the road towards your windshield. A motorcycle tumbling end over end tossed by the incredible hulk.
I cam heree to say the same thing. They also get flame broiling to boot. Some people prefer a non-broiled burger (jucier allgedly, but that's really more to do with the meat). But no reason one could not implement the same thing in a grill that was a chain driven burger sliding system.
I think the value of flippy is it can retro-fit an existing grill. But I doubt it costs less than just getting a flame broiler.
Since amazon often merges all the reviews for a given UPC, the reviews saying a product is fake will also tar a vendor not selling fakes. The feedback for vendors is ineffective since they come and go.
What amazon should do is anytime someone leaves a review they should ask if this review about the vendor, the product or both. Then list the vendor in the Review.
If you are buying an apple product that is cheaper than you can get it from one of the well known mac Resellers like MacMall, then it's a fake.
I've gotten some lovely fake apple earphones from amazon. Visually identical, and with packaging declaring it made by Apple. But they sounded crappy, fell apart, and the packaging lacked high end finish.
I knew they were fakes immediately and the seller said keep them but don't give us negative feedback. I told Amazon but nothing happened. They and a zillion others like them pop up like whack a moles.
Recently I've seen a new scam in which ludicrously cheap gaming computers are on sale. You add them to your cart. They say in-stock. and then when you check out they vanish and go to out of stock for a few hours. When you write the seller they try to get you to buy it directly outside amazon for an even cheaper price. Nice scam. I've reported them to Amazon but nothing happens. The marketplace ads themselves disappear and new ones show up.
I thought the Gun Katas were a sort of cinematic shorthand that sort of rolled up a long history of movie and literary device in one remarkable visual. It absorbed some of the Kung Fu (a popular tv series) styling and "the Matrix" level of style and visual art over substance. It provides triumphant eye-candy and also explains why, like james bond, a single man can overcome an army, thereby letting the story merge all its elements into one individual as a literary device. Plus it's not unlike some of the things one sees in gangsta rap these days, just codified like a marshal art.
I agree I had a hard time biting on the idea of gun based marshal art but it's not retarded.
Early editions of F541 lacked the additional third forward penned by bradbury himself on why he wrote it. I found them illuminating because most adaptations of F451 get the overt points and action points correct but mis the understated points. So we get book burning and an oppressive dystopia, and people who memorize books in the movies, along with irony of the "fireman" title. But we often lose the subtler notion that one of the good things about books is they might offend you and be politically incorrect. Another theme is ironically something we didn't have words for till about ten years ago, the "cognative bubble" and "online freinds" in which someone can immerse themsevles in something like facebook or reality TV (in the book portrayed by soap operas) in which the human part of our interactive nature is falsely satisfied by thinking we are interacting and experiencing emotions, whereas it's just a carefully scripted empty echo chamber and all we do is pick which echo chamber we want to lock our selves away from the world in.
When I first read F451 and long before the internet existed in it's present form, coincidentally that week, the San Francisco Public library removed Mary popins from the library for it's portayl of a black maid. Later they restored a bowlderized version which replaced the offensive subservient black english of "I's been `specting you missus poppins" with "i have been anticipating your arrival Miss Mary Poppins".
In his forward Bradbury described how he didn't think firemen would arrise all at once or at all but rather he was describing something that also had no term at the time but what we call creeping political correctness and trigger warnings. An assumed civil right that the world must be sanitized so it offends no one.
At the time I thought is seemed prescient and a good warning. But that was before the internet, and boy was he right about what's happened since. Now we even have a president who starts his day in the warm soapy bath of fox and freinds soothing his ego. But he's not the only one.
If you walk, take the bus or ride the subway, it seems like, from your own personal point of view, that this is actually a good thing! Much less congested for you personally.
Another way this might be good is if this means that more people are going places as opposed to not going places because for various reason such as time or weather or schedules or carried packages that a bus or walking or subway would not have worked. SO yes more congestion but not because people are not taking other modes but because transportation became more consumable.
I certainly put myself in the latter. I go out to a lot more bars and distant dinner locations now because I can get a cheap cab dependably no matter where I am.
PLus as the person I'm replying to is right-- I don't worry about being drunk when I do go to some distant bar and live it up. In the past distant bars meant driving and driving meant not drinking too much and a lot of planning ahead. No bar hopping for example. No lets go to in-an-out burger after downing some brews.

How is it privacy to route all of my data through their servers? It's worse than VPN since they have to be able to have it decrypted to compress it. And will it even work with HTTPS? (and how would you even know, since you are trusting the browser is using https when it says it's using https.)
vidAngel got shut down (newly re-emerged) for renting DVD streams online. This actually seems far more of a step over the line than what vidAngel did. I guess the difference is the size of the Lawyer budget.

Sanitizing content is the digital equivalent of burning books.
Nah its not even that misguidedly altruistic. Simply put it competes with google pay.
Next they will ban paypal and visa

It's not so much how many people use them but how many people buy them now. The latter determines if it's a passing fad.

AMD is affected by things similar to Spectre, slightly less than Intel but still an issue. It doesn't have the specific Meltdown vulnerability.
The real question is what does all this context switching cost in terms of speed and system resources.
