It's cleaner than most things you can generate electricity with, and of those that you can use, many can't be used in most places anyway since most places aren't near a large water stream on in a very windy place. Solar is in fact in the rather unique position of being considerably cleaner than most sources AND simultaneously much closer to ubiquity of usable installation sites since there's very few places in the world that are vastly worse than the best solar sites (the ratio is about 1:2 for the worst places compared to the best ones - whereas it's infinite for hydro and extremely high for wind).
So I get it, bitcoin is using massive amounts of energy to power it. But how much energy is used by other currencies? Both in the creation and the destruction of the currency? It costs a lot of money to maintain paper bills and coins.
Very little actually, because 1) the vast majority of money in circulation is electronic these days, not printed or minted; 2) electronic money transfers of common currencies are not using some obscure computationally-intensive scheme to survive on the unsecured Internet but they rather use traditional channels which are vastly more efficient at the cost of some amount of necessary centralization to ensure physical safety.
Of course it's a delusion. The article tries to convince me that the convention took place in this mythical country that is supposedly upside down. But since there's no such thing, 'cause the Earth is flat, it couldn't have happened. Duh!
Back when I was an undergraduate, it was more common for AI to be offered as a "concentration" within the computer science degree program if it was even offered at all.
There was a Cybernetics and AI programme on the CTU FEE in the 1990s (with its own department). It seemed only logical that AI would be tied to cybernetics. Probably more than that it should be tied to CS.
The South Korean president and Foreign Minister both said that Trump was the primary reason for NK's capitulation.
That's because Trump nicely asked them to say it. And the president later remarked something to the effect of that if Trump wants the praise, he can have it, they want only peace.
It's good, then, that the previous administration repealed the government propaganda ban law for the current administration to allow them to fight against it.
You may have just found a solution to Martian flight: Send a cat with a buttered slice of bread attached to its back! (And hope that Curiosity won't kill it with its laser...)

By any objective measure, Pluto is a plutino.
That's not really true, Michael Brown killed it before he got shot by the police.
But they only eat giant peanuts...
a vehicle that does nothing but depreciate the instant you drive it off the lot
As opposed to...? Hilariously, though...
And it matches what the classic definition of Liberal is
Really? The classic definition of a liberal isn't someone who opposes arbitrary traditional restrictions on liberties?
Biochar seems to be beneficial for agriculture, so extra carbon can't be bad.
Wait, you mean it can today? On what airplanes?
Liberal: "willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas."
That's a rather weird definition. In fact, one I've never heard before. I've always called this "open-minded".
For most people "autopilot" means self-driving
Most people are idiots. What does that prove? Have they ever been in an airplane pilot's seat to understand what "autopilot" means?
But it's a route between any two points, as opposed to the vehicle only following *certain* routes and never following others.
Sparse graph vs. complete graph of direct connectivity of stations?
Funny how you left that out and threw in "Organized Religion."
Not necessarily; Communism in many countries is an organized religion on its own.
if you are genuinely interested and opposed to "the most evil movements the human race has ever seen." It is actually backwards.
The most human race the evil movements have ever seen?
The US Government spends about $1 BILLION per year alone just creating the currency. That's just one government, creating paper money
That's actually not a lot for something that costs pennies on the dollar and lasts thousands of transactions. In fact, it's very little.

A company would never fire an excellent employee. They are way too hard to find.
With 2.4% unemployment across our whole economy, ANY employees are hard to find.
Then how do you recognize them from the other Facebook users?
I assume they drug people when they're crossing the edge so that they won't notice it.

I don't know how much Trump had to do with this.
I'm merely referring to this.. Your "people who are in a better position to know" are mentioned there as well.
