In actual scientific terms, the rate of loss and timespan of loss are conservative projections of Ice Loss and Global Sea Level changes.
The hot hard reality is that the median projections have this happening a lot faster, as the ice melt below the shelf accelerates the melt ratio, and the coal and oil pollution increases the "dirty" ratio of the ice cover. White reflects more sunlight than black does.
Kiss Florida goodbye for your retirement, unless you plan to live on a houseboat on 40 foot stilts. Which is what Vietnam is moving to.
Cold hard reality check: More than 95 percent of all actual threats originate in or have data collection endpoints in one of the following: Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, or Afghanistan.
Individual warrants on directly (not indirectly) connected US citizens could be done within the context of the US Constitution.
The methods that ARE in use, regardless of what he's telling you, are, for the most part, in direct and certain violation of the US Constitution and in direct and certain violation of the Data treaties (which have the force of law and override Congressional Law and any MOUs) with both the EU and Canada.
Period.
Oh, and this has been going on a lot longer than they pretend. No, even longer than that.
Oh, and that is not a great attitude to take into dates. My roommate tells me about these deathly dates she goes on where the guy is boring the heck out of her, and talking about stuff like this ranks way up there on the boring scale.
Oh, and stop bugging my roommate when she says no, cause she really doesn't care if you're rich or not, and that was a really really weird date she was on with you.
>Seminars are better because the audience is supposed to ask questions and are regarded as peers, whereas lectures are by those at a higher level to those at a lower level.
But the seminar presenter isn't your peer either, and is at a higher level than the students. It just feels more group-huggy.
Maybe where you are, but most of our seminars are fairly distributed with peers, a few above, and a few below. Maybe that's just for advanced research institutions where most people have PhDs or are about to get one, and most seminars are a mix of visiting fellows and locals.
Questions turn presentations into a living hell. Regardless of the quality of the speaker, improperly handling of the constant interruptions makes the event useless. Proper handling, which rarely happens, is a skill that will endear any audience. It's only because of the free cookies, that allows me to let it slide — I'll bite my tongue and think to myself: It's all good.
This is why questions are at the end or at a designated point, so that they don't throw things off gear.

There's also compressed air storage (CPES) which is more efficient, but it's a technical solution that requires a higher infrastructure.
Most energy use in the US is for heating and cooling buildings. Converting existing coal plants to cogeneration could address most of that, by doubling efficiency, as most First World nations do.

A far simpler idea is just to use USB3 instead, with bidirectional power flow.
There, simpler, only one plug, no muss no fuss.
Your PS4 and xBoxOne and HDTV will still suck up as much power on standby as they do when "on", mind you.
There's your power vampire.
...so, let's do math .43mm/year = 4.43mm/decade
4.43mm/decaed = 44.3mm/century
44.3mm/century = 4.43cm/century
So, a little less than 2 inches in 100 years.
Is this supposed to worry us?
It's the difference between a storm surge 50 miles from a major city and a storm surge 10 miles from a major city.
Does that help?

By putting back doors in our communications infrastructure, the NSA is creating an attack vector for enemies to use.
That's a feature not a bug.
An NSA job creating feature too.
I'll tell Fiat, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Ford, and a whole host of other car manufacturers to stop selling electric cars based on your say so, then.
Or ... NOT.
As a long-time investor, I can attest that bond traders know even less than stock traders.
That said, what is this false Either Or choice we are presented with?
It's not Batteries or Electric Cars.
It's lots of batteries and lots of electric cars.
Economy of scale, baby!
I work at a university that has 3 100 GB/sec ports and 40 GB/sec campuswide.
You could go through 300 GB in ... wait for it ... either 3 seconds or 9 seconds.
Why does Comcast hate America so?

Seattle voted for Prop 1.
It's the whiny suburbs that didn't.

But hey, whatever you think.

I'm sure in Oligopoly America if you offer to pay $1000 a month, you'll get better service.
The fact that everything is slower for the rest of us, as if they slowed throughput down, is just a coincidence.

Plus, cookies!

A cheap storage system?
You mean like pumping water up an incline to store energy, as we've done for THOUSANDS of years?
(stares at clueless n00b)
Like that?
There, problem solved.
That said, I'm surprised there isn't a US reality TV show "Train Wreck".
Actually, a former colleague of mine works for Samsung now, and that's not true.
Not saying the state doesn't have access to the blueprints and tech docs - they do. But who do you think makes half the stuff you buy from China?
Right, the Chinese People's Army.
(this is not a joke, follow the trail)
It's part of the NSA Big Brother Watches America program of "value-added" services.
Came up with a better one - Death - nobody will guess that one!
I put the 123456 on a publicly shared network file called "Passwords.docx" - is that good enough?
And then enabled Bluetooth.
Don't see what the point is
Oh wait, we're boycotting them.
You could always use the secret shuttles we never told you civilians about, but then we'd have to admit they exist.
Those who don't vote are sent to Gulag, Comrade!
Um not to downplay your worship of nuclear fission plants, but you do know that the West is part of the Ring Of Fire (or Godzilla's Revenge), right?
