You have to "decarbonize" limestone (CaCO3) to Calcium Oxide (CaO) to make cement. You _cannot_ make cement without producing a lot of carbon dioxide, even if your energy source is carbon-free.
Nothing says you have to dump that CO2 into the atmosphere. CO2 has various uses in industry, or can give a slight growth boost to greenhouses.
which was awarded to E. Topol, R. Califf, F. Van de Werf, P.W. Armstrong, and their 972 co-authors, for publishing a medical research paper which has one hundred times as many authors as pages.
How about the Wikipedia page for George W Bush, with 46,000 revisions by 14,500 authors? It has about 2 words per author or 1/2 word per revision. https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtoo...
Although I must say that it is pretty impressive for a research paper to be so nearly comparable to one of the most controversial wikipedia pages in terms of authors.
It's so very hard to sell security as a feature. It costs a lot of money to do, ridiculously so since so much other software is likewise built insecurely. And it's not like anyone can tell when they're buying software whether it is secure or not, not without spending about as much money as was spent writing it in the first place (although they could check for some of the more obvious flaws).
Besides, if all else fails, a bribe to the sysadmin will overcome any security measures.
113 million dollars to fix. 49 million dollars for the death and destruction costs.
Hate to break it to you, but the choice here is obvious. You compare values and go for the option with the highest value (or lower cost). Tasty food is worth more than life itself. Money is worth more than life itself (see people skimping on their own safety equipment to save money). Fun things like mountain climbing and skydiving are worth more than life itself.
When people overvalue life they start making decisions like strip-searching all passengers before allowing them on an airplane slightly reduce an already absurdly small risk of death. If you consider, for example, the number of lifetimes spent waiting in line and the number of lifetimes spent earning enough money to pay for the privilege, vs the number of lives saved...
If your argument is that you feel life is undervalued, please feel free to name the proper price, and provide evidence that it should be so. If you can prove it, we could probably adjust the official, government-approved value used in various legal calculations.
Aerosols are stored separately at Amazon’s warehouse because they are deemed dangerous, and training literature for warehouse staff explains that lithium batteries are dangerous, “potentially causing burns, explosions or a fire”.

Gotta be sure to count autoplaying videos for number of videos viewed and time viewing videos, so long as you don't count the people who are quick enough killing the stupid annoying video that it would negatively impact the average view time.
A few of the supposed victims managed to be reached, and they wanted to make clear that their device did not in fact explode nor did they get paid not to talk about it.
It's never "wasting your vote" if you already know how your state is going to vote. I'll just be the difference between "your state votes for [candidate], but [other guy] got a few percent of the vote too" and "state votes unanimously for the Demopublicans".
Ever since I can remember, I had the ability to sense electromagnetic emissions from other people to detect their emotional state. I also had an ability I call "aural telepathy" -- the ability to sense a person's thoughts by tuning in to subtle sensations such as tiny vibrations in the air.
libel 1) n. to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, an untruth about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by tending to bring the target into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others. Libel is the written or broadcast form of defamation, distinguished from slander which is oral defamation. It is a tort (civil wrong) making the person or entity (like a newspaper, magazine or political organization) open to a lawsuit for damages by the person who can prove the statement about him/her was a lie. Publication need only be to one person, but it must be a statement which claims to be fact, and is not clearly identified as an opinion. While it is sometimes said that the person making the libelous statement must have been intentional and malicious, actually it need only be obvious that the statement would do harm and is untrue.
A flawed hiring strategy was passing over better candidates in favor of people with more social skills, because bigoted and incompetent hiring managers were failing at their jobs by favoring people they like over better-qualified candidates. "Being liked by the sort of people put in charge of hiring" shouldn't be a job qualification.

Native Americans learned to live in harmony with the land and take only what they need.
If we tried to "live in harmony with nature" (aka slash-and-burn agriculture plus hunting, or whatever other old technologies you like) at our current population levels, then two things would happen: 1) We'd kill off a huge chunk of nature 2) Nature would kill off a huge chunk of us
An invasive species is a plant, fungus, or animal species that is not native to a specific location, and which has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment.
I hear an invasive species which escaped from Africa has been causing unprecedented damage to the environment.

What's draconian about not trusting someone proven to be untrustworthy? Is it because their only job was to be trustworthy?
