So there will be silence to his viewpoints because he will certainly be fired? And then what, the Men in Black will come with their neuralyzers and erase all memory of this debate to hide it from the public? It does not make sense.
Yes it will be debated, but only from the political correct viewpoint, which is in effect silencing his opinion.
Hi! Are we on the same slashdot forum? I can see posts all the way down to -1 and you are honestly trying to tell me it's all politically correct? If anything is missing I'd be curious to know so please, feel free to chime in rather than play the victim card.
In my experience employers and collegues aren't particulary interested in any sort of opinion that does not concern their work at work. I'm honestly a bit curious as to what sort of unpopular opinion you felt such a need to express but couldn't in fear of getting fired that you felt you had to find another employer?
He didn't say they were being silenced. He said there was an effort to silence. An effort to silence a viewpoint doesn't always result in it being silenced. Publicly tweeting that he should be fired for the memo is an effort to silence.
So there is an effort to silence, but it's not working very well is it? Perhaps even to the point where that particular point of victimization is a bit overstated?
One point where the author is spot on is the overwhelming efforts to silence any other viewpoints.
What an amazing statement! This is now being discussed on just about every tech-site, social media and alt-right fringe media (although I haven't checked that last one), and it will probably spill onto the major news outlets. Still these viewpoints are being silenced?
For large scale projects in for example infrastructure it makes quite a bit of sense for the government to borrow money as the alternatives are often worse.
No one buys US government debt to collect interest anymore, yields are simply too low (this is the great bubble Greenspan was recently talking about). That hasn't decreased demand as there are still numerous uses, most relating to that it is considered by many as the safest and most liquid asset available. The bet is that the US government can and will honour their debt far better than anyone else both short and long term.
I don't doubt that is what they told you. The E series bonds are paper bonds last issued in 1980 with a 10 year maturity (extended twice) which mean they stopped collecting interest in 2010 at latest and there has been a drive to collect them and an offer to exchange them for another series of bond (both now closed). With that information it is quite obvious to me why banks might hesitate to cash you bonds...
Could you name the source of 7/bus, 2/car? The Transportation Energy Data Book http://cta.ornl.gov/data/downl... claims 1.6/car, 1.8/personal truck and 9.2/bus with no data for intercity and school buses (table 2.14, p69). Interestingly per passanger mile, cars are still more energy efficient.
For one you seem to assume voter statistics as significant for the whole population. With voter turn ut as low as it is, and I would assume voter turnout amongst murderers are even lower as I think your assumption of lower than average income is correct, then the statistical significance of the numbers are dubious at best.
Other than union dues I only pay rent, utilities, insurance, mobile phone and internet. I would pay for my local printed news if i had to, (although I would probably get an electronic edition). Used to pay for cable, but when I realized I hadn't turned on the TV for six months out it went and cable was cancelled.
In any form of recent years...what incidents are you speaking of?!?!
I don't know of any people going out trying to kill a mass of people in the name of Christ...please, enumerate them.
Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 people and claimed to have carried out the attacks on behalf of an organisation called The Knights Templar fighting a muslim invasion of europe. There are however serious doubts that the organisation he refered to actually exists.
But according to what I've read, firearm murders by Democrats outnumber those from Republicans 2 to 1.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. A quick google leads me to calculations based on the race of murderers and statistical racial party affiliation, this seems dubious at best. I seriously doubt there are reliable statistics of party affiliation among murderers (unless possibly if the murder is hate crime related).
You need something to hold the soil together. Plowing breaks up the soil so that wind can blow it away.
The solutions are:
1. Don't break up the soil (no-till farming). This is a difficult sell when farmers have spent lots of money on equipment for tilling and you now want them to spend lots of money on equipment for not tilling.
But isn't that mainly overcapacity from other investments, as this land hasn't been used for some time?
2. Slow down the wind. You can do this by doing things like planting trees around the farm. The issue here is the significant reduction in farmland (you need more than 1 thin line of trees), as well as wildlife that like living in forests while eating crops.
3. Put something on the soil you don't harvest, like grass and wildflowers. That's the program in the OP.
4. Make more soil in places where it has been depleted. You can do this by doing things like letting animals graze on the land for a while. The manure + dirt will produce more soil. The disadvantage here is you can't grow any crops on the land while animals are grazing on it. Also whether you use natural or artificial means to create that soil, the new soil will blow away soon.
I was wondering about that last one, as I'd guess that artificial fertalizers would create more soil.
So rather than paying for the growing of grass, funds could be used to inform and provide financial incentive to alternative farming methods? Seems rather obvious and one can only wonder why it was not mentioned in the article.
As this concerns land that was not previously used, I'd guess that most investments are in surplus capacity machinery from other fields.

+1 Benjamin Graham - The Intelligent Investor. It's a classic and I believe it should be read with that in mind, not only by people necessarily interested in investing or finance.
Not a Tesla investor here, so I don't know much about it's valuation. But I do want to point out that I see them on the road multiple times a day here in the northern VA area (granted, this is a relatively wealthy part of the country), so that tends to make me believe there's a bit more to the company than speculation.
I see what you did there.. and I tip my hat to you.
Investing vs speculating might not be all black and white, but on a scale where do you suppose Tesla fits? Would it not be reasonable that "research" into a stock primarily driven by speculation, finds mainly speculation?
Hydroelectric isn't renewable. Sediment fills up the dams over time, and they are done. See for example:
The 200-foot high Matilija Dam (left, photo courtesy of Matilija Coalition), has completely filled in with sediment in only thirty years. It has been decommissioned and the process of removing the dam and restoring the river has begun.
RTFA!
Scientific studies predict that without the reservoir, sediment deposits in the main channel upstream of the dam could be flushed out in as little as five years (CEA). The actual time is dependent on the future hydrologic events occurring in the Colorado River Basin.
But still it,might not have been a good place for a dam, but you can't generalize this to all dams. The Lake Homs Dam was opened in 284 AD and is still running "Remarkably, the reservoir has suffered very little silting since" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... so when they eventually have to remove it to flush out the silt, I'm pretty sure it has paid for that and the reconstruction. What the average lifespan for a dam is, i have no idea.
I don't know why US banks haven't implemented the giro system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Neither do I know if your experience is typical, but seeing tv/movies where bills are payed with cheques has always seemed amusingly antiquated to me, who lives in a part of the world where that system literally went out of fashion before the first technicolor film.

All automobile manufacturers project the cost to buy a fossil fuel vehicle will be more than for an all electric vehicle starting next model year.
Could you clarify what you mean by that?
It is called Stack Smashing and OpenBSD is NOT vulnerable to it!
