A lot of people obsess over making new wheels. They'd be far better off it they wrote a decent object library to do wheels once, maintain it, and spend far more time getting the engine to push the wheel.
Wheels are wheels. You don't need to make a new one every time, unless you're writing the core Wheel program. Spend your time on the stuff that matters, not the inner mechanisms of the windshield washing blade, use someone else's windshield washing blade.
To trigger that, you only need to raise the internal temp of cancer cells by a couple of degrees C, which would literally kill 98 percent of cancer cells and less than 1 percent of normal cells.
One of the researchers at the Wellcom Trust (sp?) figured that out, we had a Biochem seminar on it a few years back.
The inconvenient truth is that there is no actual way to stop a highly trained and capable team of individuals from weaponizing most things already INSIDE an airplane, and any trained individual could easily construct passable materials that could be easily reassembled on any airplane anyway.
You're doing it wrong.
Get rid of the TSA and stop wasting our time with this farce.
Want to stop terrorism on planes? Drill into passengers that they must throw coats and blankets and jump on all terrorists or they will all die.
Partly a few rogue countries, but it's more likely high level photochemical reactions above high pollution zones over China where the level of pollution has gone way beyond safe levels. Throw some electrochemical processes and a highly unregulated "military" sector of Chinese companies and you've got a ready source.
Lightning cares nought for your political boundaries. Neither does pollution.
It's a way for you to turn off and disable a stolen phone.
And it's a quick way for the Thought Police to turn off all cell phones which take nasty pics and vids and audio when they go all East Germany Stasi on your First Amendment and other rights.
By the way, in case you didn't know, even when they "turn off" wireless and cell node tracers in urban centers that could track your cell phone, they can always turn them back on with 5 minutes. So those cities that "removed" them but never physically removed them still have them enabled for crackdowns on anyone who thinks they actually have rights.
Since a long long time ago (about 50 years now) we've been able to use nearby windows and computer monitors - even picture frames - to pick up sounds inside rooms.
Why bother with a cell phone if you're trying to get a good audio pickup?
If you need to isolate a person, it's not a bad choice, but you can also use the other signals your cell gives out or responds to for locating the person precisely, without technically "using" the phone, and thereby alerting the target.
You have to keep the flow up as the environment gets worse, and at some point you run out of the resources to geoengineer, which causes a kickback effect that is a large multiple of the geoengineered impact.
Think of it as applying the brakes lightly at the same time that you're flooring the accelerator.
Then you take your foot off the brake while you're going down a steep decline, where you started at a mild decline.
Suddenly you're careening down the hill, out of control.
The best thing to do is stop subsidizing bad behavior that increases it (e.g. fossil fuels) and start requiring all new construction to meet new energy codes (half of all energy use is to heat and cool buildings, and passive solar and insulation can cut that dramatically) while you retrofit any existing fossil fuel plants (e.g. using cogeneration for all pre-2000 coal plants, and phasing out the dirtiest plants by expiring reauthorizations for permits when they come due.
People like to pretend massive change is needed. Energy is not a Binary On/Off thing - a partial change by the largest consumers (e.g. China) causes massive change. Air travel is the largest personal behavior change for people who live in cities (replace old jets with 787s and turboprops and build high speed rail).
Look at your record drought, the dustbowl you created which is spreading dust tornadoes all the way to Washington State, and get your head out of the polluted sands.
It is a common problem with absolutists. They think everything is binary when it's nested case statements with table-driven variables.
There is no either or - there is A B C C1 C2 D E1 NULL. And the boundaries between A and B are artificial limitations not found in nature, but only in perception.
In the archeological record, we can see people got smaller and weaker when they moved from hunter-gatherer societies to agrarian ones where assets were not shared on a more equal basis.

...does this mean I can smoke?
No.
You have to have sex first.
Smoking is for after.

Don't forget the other part:
If it doesn't work, throw it out and start over from scratch.
You've already done the thinking, and the errors will be much more obvious.
At least you don't have meetings.
Meetings are a giant time suck.
Mind you, I learned how to code back in the days when CP/M ruled the universe.

That works.
The rest is crap.

It's actually All of the Above (tm).

But, hey, do it the hard way, if you must.
Which means it's rock solid secure!
1-2-3-4 nobody will ever guess it!

There, that's half your carbon impact.
Now stop whining.
When Yellowstone goes, you'll have no place to stay, oh no.

we just run a bridge to IPv4 so it looks like IPv4 to the rest of you.
Not tomorrow.

Adapt. Or Die.
That includes Tesla.

Replace half with women and half with non-whites.
Do that for the top ten percent of those paid.
The rest will happen naturally.
It's a problem wth all absolutists? ;)
all but the cute ones.
And I'm pointing out both conclusions may be equally valid.
More egalitarian societies were demonstrably better for human height, weight, and skeletal development. That part is a fact.

But, live in your Ayn Rand fantasy if you must.
Just stop pretending Science supports it.
My first thought too. We have two 100 GB/s pipes within a block of me, and lots of 40 GB/s pipes spread throughout campus, so (does math) ...
If we do some high def surgical research and genome swaps with collaborators in Japan, S Korea, and China this might fill up fast.
And that's just this campus.
the word You is both a singular and a plural pronoun.
Now go order a drone pizza so I can get a free dinner.
Who was lashing out?
I was just making a conclusion based on your statement.
Never said I was thin.
But again, we were originally talking about "needs".
Seattle doesn't need drones. We make them. We send them to other countries. They perform highly sensitive missions at very cheap costs.
Most of us commute by bike or walk here, anyway. Only lazy suburbanites think they "need" drones.
Then get on your bike or skateboard.
Geesh, and you wonder why you're so fat ...
