That would have been true decades ago. I'm using minimum 3 Java Versions more or less in parallel because my contractors are unwilling to upgrade to the latest (Java 1.8). Obviously I have not all new stuff in Java 1.8 in my fingertips when I'm constantly forced to use Java 1.7 or 1.6.
Also keep in mind the dramatic huge amount of available libraries and tools. It is not a shame to forget e.g. how exactly version resolution in Maven works and look it up, and getting an example on Stackoverflow.
Especially when a tool/framework like Spring is three versions behind because no one dares(has time) to upgrade and you are user to mainly use the latest features.
At the moment you have to think or search in your code longer than 5 minutes you should long have googled, checked Stackoverflow or asked an colleague.
Why not? If I was to learn a new language and would need to write for Linxu, I would take Swift (I already can C++ and Java etc.) On the other hand the first choice for a crossplatform Application is always Java/Scala/Groovy and the second C++/Qt (as my Python knowledge is still mediocre).
There is not enough PMs in the world to back a single year of world trade, perhaps not even a month. This is why all currencies became fiat currencies.
You ever watch the olympics? Swimming? All gold in the world does not even fill an olympic swimming pool.
The warming we've seen since the coldest part of the whole Holocene (i.e, since about a few hundred years back) is not exceptional for the Holocene (see previous post for scientific reference) and thus cannot be responsible for a demise of insects. This is nonsense on two bases. a) during other warming scenarios we might have a bit higher average temperatures but we most likely also still had icy winters b) we don't now much about the insects during those times
So the current warming, or more precisely the super warm winters several times in a row are the most logical (Occams Razor) reason for the sudden lack of insects.
As your link is an american link I have humbly to say that I don't trust it, looks like an "official sanctioned denier" link, but I will investigate, as the thematic interests me.
Ah, I think I have that story. Gosh, that was a monster of a story, I'm sure I have read it, and I guess I have the book somewhere. I guess it is time to find an ordering schema for my books:D
If the Chinese government would simply be thrown out, the country would collapse in to 3 or perhaps even 10 nations. The north Koreans would lose the only lash they are kept in control with. Some war lords, generals who have access to the right weapons, would found mini dictatorships. The nuclear weapon arsenal would be out of control. Millions of Chinese would emigrate to the smaller asian nations like Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand.
Well, "component based programming" is basically a design principle and most people do it automatically "somewhat right". On the other hand most software is quite complex and is often written in a throw away manner. Lets run it for 10 years and then rewrite it... instead of having "proper components", which can be reused.
However the idea that we would sell those components as parts died out more or less. However in the Windows world they still do "COM components" and there are online shops where you can buy such things.
Well, the only american girl I talked to about this matter, actually she is african, but made college in the states, referred to them as "panties". And in Asia they seem to prefer pants and panties over underpants, too.
The rate of temperature change is according to climate scientists the fastest we ever had on the planet.
"However, during the Medieval Warm Period, the Roman Warm Period and the Bronze Age Warm period it was warmer than now in Europe." Actually it was about the same temperature, and probably even a little bit lower than it is right now. E.g. during roman times Germany had ordinary winters and not piss warm rain weather like right now. Those warms periods btw where not restricted to Europe we know at least about some regions in Asia that had "unusual" warming at the same time.
Why you are nitpicking about insects is beyond me. Most insects we are missing right now are used to have rather cold temperatures in winter and hibernate in a dry cold environment. Now they hibernate in a warm, damp and moldy environment. On top of that birds stay around and eat them in winter or their larva that usually are below frozen ground get eaten by birds. Many insects rely on flowers, so if the don't hibernate because it is to warm: they have no food.
Interesting book/article though, "Sudden climate transitions during the Quaternary (Adams, Maslin, Thomas)", I will check it out.
Industry does not use base load. I suggest to look up what base load means.
Nor are there special exemptions for "industries". How would that work anyway? They would basically need their own grid to be able to do what you claim.
Actually neither batteries nor solar cells use heavy metals. Try again.
Actually crafting solar panels is not harmful to the environment because the chemicals used are reused in closed circles in the factories. Try again.
Wind farms and solar farms take up lots and lots of acreage. Wind farms don't use lots of acres. You seem have seen one. I suggest to google. Between the windmills you have farmland... Try again.
Solar plants are usually put on roofs of existing buildings... so no land loss either. Try again.
You're an idiot. Actually I'm not. If I was, the voices in my head would tell me;D
Stating the obvious is not an insult. If I see a Mongoloide I simply can say: look there is a Mongoloide.
Same with your idiocy. Sorry, it is normal that you need help from someone else to explain to you that you are an idiot. Idiots usually are not able to realize that themselves.
Which part of civilian rescue authorities you don't grasp is beyond me btw.
We don't see life or evidence of it anywhere, in spite of all of the billions of stars and in spite of the billions of years all of those other places have had to develop it. Mankind is abe to detect radio signals/lasers since about 150 years.
Most of the stars you mention, hence my emphasizes, are billions of light years away.
Chances that "intelligent life" once managed to send a signal we can detect (now) to the place where our solar system right now is: zero
We are just living on an ant hill. Unaware of all the ant hills around us, because we lack the means to communicate and even see those ant hills.
Concluding from this that there are no other ant hills is just plain stupid.

Well, I'm old enough that the USD has lost about 50% of its exchange rate, and probably 80% of its value during my lifetime. And I'm only 50.

Well,
a good starting site is this: http://math.nist.gov/javanumer...
And interesting papers are e.g. this two: https://engineering.purdue.edu... and an older one that is more focusing on the problems of Javas Array implementations: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~artiga...
Yes, same for me.
But you can not expect the same from one who is working 9 hours commuting 2 hours in a car and has wife and kids.
Close enough.
Every country has its own load curve.
I did not say 200% I said 50% :D or if you count it in the opposite way, then it is 100%.
I doubt there are countries with only 25% base load in relation to peak. But who knows.
Industry does not use base load.
I suggest to look up what base load means.

In the end everything will be rotted away. The fact that is goes slower in cold climate does not change that.
The rest of your post makes not much sense either. Tropical rain forrest soil is not rich but super poor.
On the other hand as we here in Europe are not idiots and have the means, we simply cut the forest down before we build a dam.
Point is: dams are build in valleys that are suitable. And those valleys usually are fertile and full with wood.
