You're quoting just US figures. Now ponder how much money is dedicated to medical research throughout the industrialized world; in places like Britain, Europe, Asia and even in places like South Africa. I suspect Zuckerburg's $3 billion might pay for a week or two's work in the global medical research community. Not that such money would be unwelcome, but it is a drop in the bucket.
I guess the megalomaniacs at Microsoft and Facebook should be given some credit. Unlike megalomaniacs of the past, like Hitler or Stalin, they're not interested in curing the world of all the Jews or Capitalists, but target diseases instead. Still, there's something both amusing and tremendously idiotic about grand narcissistic declarations like "We're going to fix CANCER" or "We're going to cure all the diseases!"
When you have to invoke a fallacious appeal to authority, you've already lost the argument. The fact that you're trying to make yourself sound like said authority only makes it worse.
It would give the Sergeant at arms something to do. Technically speaking, you could just find an empty meeting room, post armed guards at the door, it doesn't have to be an actual lock up.
Indeed. It is my understanding that the US Congress inherited the British Parliament's right to find someone in contempt, and to indeed throw them in prison should they continue to refuse Congress's request.
The interface, such as it is, is also pretty non-intuitive. It really isn't a terribly good browser, regardless of how well it might perform on power savings.
I have seen it myself on about a dozen occasions. The Edge splash screen will come up, and then edge dumps to a rather nasty error dialog. There's a DISM command that allegedly fixes it, but the only reliably solution is to delete the profile or, if you've got a roaming profile, to go to a pre-error backup of the profile. I've also seen Cortana fail in much the same way, along with numerous errors point to Metro app problems. Because we keep backups of profiles, I've long since abandoned any notion of fixing the problem, and just simply go to an archived profile.
And what the fuck does this have to do with Linux. Typical Redmond shill, too cowardly and pathetic to admit that Windows 10 has rough edges, and keeps talking about Linux, as if whataboutery somehow reduces Microsoft's culpability for foisting early beta software on the world.
I don't think China can ramp up that quickly. The US and Russia both have decades of experience. China literally is nominally at where the US and Russia were in the 70s, in some regards, but other technologies, like landing on other bodies, they're still back in the 1960s. They do get some benefit because they can review what the Russians and Americans did, but that still means they have to build an entire generation of engineers capable of building their own variants.
Not sure. My suspicion was something was broken with the Metro subsystem, because the event log was full of errors regarding apps. I found heap loads of advice about using DISM.EXE, but the only reliable fix I found was to cook the profile.
Battery life is at best a distant second in my books on browser performance. Edge just isn't very good. I've tried a couple of times to use it, but it's like some really awkward late alpha early beta project. It's also easily broken, which is why we basically abandoned in at my office.
Which would cause immeasurable damage to a country that right now is trying to sell itself as open for business, seeing as it is preparing to leave the EU.
It wouldn't be proof against VPNs, so there's already a way around this. As usual, such measures might catch the low hanging fruit, but anyone with even a moderate degree of technical ability could get around it.
Well, it's bad no matter how you look at it, primarily because even if you accept that filters are good, by and large they're ineffective, and are very prone to false positives.
And yet at one time a huge number of people in the West smoked, just as a lot of people now eat boatloads of sugar. With tobacco, addiction often occurs in the teenage years, before people have matured and reached cognitive maximum. By the time they figure out it was stupid, they're already hooked, and thanks to Big Tobacco, what they're smoking has been steadily made far more addictive than tobacco originally was a few centuries ago.
Nope, it is a simple fact. INcrease CO2 concentrations, increase the amount of energy absorbed by the lower atmosphere. There is absolutely nothing controversial about AGW. The only reason it is controversial is because some very rich people stand to lose a lot of money when CO2 is finally taxed.
There's this whole field of science that analyzes gases in the atmosphere and their effects. I get that you think you've some killer alternative explanation, so publish. But to try to discredit an entire field of science because you think dust is a bigger player, without any evidence that you have the vaguest idea what you're talking about is arrogance at best, insanity at worst.
Desktop Linux has a helluva lot more applications that run specifically for its platform than Windows 10 mobile. I have s Windows 10 tablet, and not only is the interface awful, stock Windows software may run on it, but the experience is terrible to the point of being unusable in many cases, and there's a fraction of the mobile apps compared to Android and iOS.
You're pale defence of Windows mobile is just whataboutery.
If you have some alternative explanation for where the additional energy being absorbed by higher CO2 concentrations is going, be my guest and provide it. Go on, I openly challenge you to show where the massive heat sink dumping the additional solar radiation being absorbed in the lower atmosphere is.
CO2's properties have been known for over a century. There is absolutely nothing controversial about AGW.
Are you saying their lying? You are aware that the sugar industry's tactics are fairly well known, and that research also shows the amount of sugar showing up even in foods not known for being overly sweet, like bread, has been rising for years.
How about the CEOs of the companies that pay the scientists and buy off the politicians? How about the major institutional investors and boards that put pressure on senior management to maximize profits regardless of every other consideration?
The scientists and politicians are like concentration camp prison guards. Yes, they ought to be criminally culpable, but the real masterminds have MBAs and law and accounting degrees.
If it was just in pop and candy, it would be a lot easier to avoid. But manufacturers have been upping the amount of sugar in other processed foods for years, in everything from bread to TV dinners.
Most scientists are not frauds. In fact, the risks of sugar have been known for decades, with a large body of research behind it. A very small number of scientists on the payroll of the sugar industry allowed themselves to be corrupted, much as has happened with tobacco and fossil fuel researchers. The FUD's purpose isn't to convince everyone that legitimate research is a lie, it's to raise enough questions about legitimate research to make sure the public and the politicians change nothing.

Why, because he reports what actual scientists say, instead of memes produced by the Heartland Institute and repeated by morons and cowards?
