"supercritical steam" just means steam at above the boiling point of water at whatever pressure applies. More specific heat than "saturated steam" (steam at the boiling point of water at the applicable pressure), but otherwise pretty much the same as any other steam....
Imagine you interview someone and they say something that might incriminate themselves. On the way back to the office the corrupt police take your camera. If the video is encrypted at least they don't have video of your source incriminating themselves.
Imagine that this happens. Then you return to a free country, and publish the interview.
The police back in Bumfuckistan see the interview on TV/internet/smoke signals/whatever. Guess what they're going to do now?
If you guessed they'd say "Damn, but he pulled the wool over our eyes pretty good there! Well played!", well, you'd be mistaken....
In other words, you're not going to be able to use that interview where olwhatsisname incriminated himself anyway. Unless you really don't give a rat's ass about the fate of olwhatsisname, anways....
Yeah, my first thought on reading the headline was "well, thank God we don't have to worry about AGW now, since Snowden thinks data privacy is the biggest problem of the future."
I'm surprised windmills are increasing the price of power for the mainlanders, though. What's that about?
That's the mainlanders subsidizing the power for the islanders. Typical, really - claim that the Islanders will get cheaper electricity as a result of "New Thing", though the only reason they're getting cheaper electricity is that the majority of the population of the State is paying a bit more to allow the islanders to get it cheaper than they've been getting it (but not "cheap", just "cheaper".).
American English's rush to reduce the number of words is reminiscent of Newspeak.
Ahh, you're one of those who believe that his own variant of the result of "Norman men-at-arms trying to make dates with Saxon barmaids" is the Only True English.
Sorry, doesn't work that way outside your own head(s).....
On the plus side, think of the opportunities for yanking their chains!
Me: Hey, wife! Did you use up the cocaine without replacing it?? You KNOW you're supposed to get more if you use up the last of it!
Wife: Husband, I haven't touched the coke in weeks. Either the kids or the dogs are getting into it. Or you're just blacked out from when you used the stuff up. In any case, there's still plenty of Ecstacy and Heroin, so I don't see what you're getting so excited about....
***and on and on for ten minutes or so, before turning to the football scores.....
if cesarean became the normal method of delivery for an extended period of time (many generations) could humans end up at a point where natural birth was not possible?
Possibly.
Or not.
Such a situation would allow larger-brained humans to be born with increasing regularity. It would not require that larger-brained humans be born, just allow for the possibility.
Would that qualify as "evolution"? *I* think so, but I am not an evolutionary biologist, so what do I know?
As I recall, Congress is the one who spends money, not the President. All the President can do is ask Congress to spend money like a drunken sailor.
And with the general dislike of Trump on both sides of the aisle, I'm not seeing much inclination for Congress to let The Donald go on a spending binge....
So, tab out, read the Tenth Amendment, then go through the body of the Constitution and find the text discussing education as a Federal Power. Then get back to me...
Since education isn't mentioned at all in the Constitution, I think it's pretty safe to say that the 10th means it's not something the Feds have any business doing....
Have it immediately challenged in court in two different jurisdictions, each under a different Court of Appeals, you mean?
And then get different results in the two Appeals Courts....
Sorry, the Donald isn't going to get Flag Burning criminalized. Not without eight years in office, plus a sea-change in the composition of ALL the Appellate Courts. Which will take longer than eight years, unless someone starts assassinating Appellate Court judges....
Well, each State can do what it likes with its Electors now. Including reflect the popular vote nationwide (or vote against the popular vote, for that matter).
Anything else requires a Constitutional Amendment. Good luck with that.
(* Actually, I don't understand how "as new" can be legal as a description -- much of the benefit of buying new is the warrantee period and related support.)
Some people don't care much about warranties, but would really like to be a "used" item that's going to work reasonably well. "as new" implies it'll work, but that the warranty doesn't apply.
Consider the EM drive working as claimed, 1.2mN/kW. Now consider it travelling at 1000km/s. How much energy is going in (1kW), and how much is the kinetic energy increasing by at that point (force*velocity).
Relativity says things don't work that way. From the PoV of the vehicle moving at 1000km/s, IT is stationary, and YOU are moving at 1000km/s....

Unless, of course, it fails safe by engaging the emergency brake upon loss of electricity. Not like it's difficult to design such a system....

Hmm, Pumpkin Pie isn't fully enclosed in pastry.
Neither is chocolate meringue pie.
Though Cherry Cobbler IS fully enclosed in pastry, and isn't a "pie"....

Or, just as likely, they're pulling your chain and getting a good laugh at your expense...
Just curious, do we ever pear actions to them? Or even apricot actions to them?
I note that everyone seems to be ignoring the non-clickbait part of the summary. Religious experiences affect the brain the way drugs and love do....

As a counterpoint, note that where I live we had a pretty solid overcast for five days last week.
That said, yah, solar is a perfectly usable system when you have to ship any other fuel in across the Pacific, and when you don't need power 24/7.
Fascinating that you're in education...
Remove that word, and it's grammatical.
Ones. Not "once"...
On the other hand, the results of the previous studies they're comparing this new one to had the same issues.
So what's changed significantly in the past 16 years? Or, more likely, the couple of decades before the last 16 years?
Other than no leaded gas, lower pollution levels overall, warmer climate, I mean....

San Quentin? That spelling should be a crime....
Two typos. The first one, and the "400" in the quoted text. 396 of 400 is 99%, not 98.
Obviously, your typo was the 396, which should have been 196....
