If he sets up sufficient solar, which is fairly likely already in his plans in his desert landscape, he might use that to pull it from the air en masse via condensation.
If he pulls extra, he could use it to grow large trees, which can be used to shade structures and also encourage condensation. As many species' needles/leaves (such as pines and redwoods) are also designed to encourage condensation and presuming he can get them established sufficiently, he might be able to make the land green and shady with enough time and supplied water. There does also appear to be a river flowing through the property. He should truck in large quantities of waste biomass and cover the land to get things going.
All of this is presuming there is enough condensation available at his location.
College level hard-science education should be fully supported by any high-tech based society as having an electorate that understands the problems and potential solutions is fundamental to any democratically-elected society.
If we as a society are to remain a free society, everyone should have a decent understanding of the fundamentals of 1) how computers work 2) how chemistry works 3) how biology works 4) how logic 5) how theoretical and applied maths work.
We are a species with a long vegetative state. The common human brain has been shown to continue cognitive-control development late into the twenties. This is what we as a society should cite for true adulthood, and should encourage educational maturation of the individual up to this point, if we are to maintain our principles of freedom, liberty and independence as a society.
This is expensive, but we as a society can and must afford it if we are to maintain competency into the future.
Of course, early level education is failing/underfunded in many parts of the country today, which is the foundation that latter education is built upon.
Today, more people are dying from antibiotic resistant bacteria than they are from HIV/AIDS. Our abuse of antibiotics has caught up with us. This could very well turn into a lethal pandemic. A major reason our society abuses antibiotics is the meat industry: the constant administration of antibiotics to livestock results in animals twice the mass. Thus, the meat industry utilizes actual TONS of antibiotics yearly to double their product.
The synopsis mentioned: the FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb pointed out in a press release, "Having more treatment options that work in different ways to attack the virus is important because flu viruses can become resistant to antiviral drugs."
What should also have been included in the synopsis is why it's important to have more than one antiviral. There is of course the obvious "more tools the better", but the real reason is that when targeting microbes it's important to ALWAYS attack with at least two weapons at the same time so as to ensure we aren't merely breeding resistant mutants. If only one antimicrobial is utilized, there is a very good chance that every other bacteria is wiped out except the few cells that have a mutated resistant gene, leaving that cell little competition to contend with growth-wise, and thus resulting in a culmination of resistant microbes. If two antimicrobials are utilized, it is MUCH less likely that there are two microbes that have developed resistance to both weapons simultaneously, and thus we are ensuring none survive.
This is why doctors should ALWAYS prescribe at least two antimicrobial agents at a time.
If you do not follow your doctors recommendations for antimicrobial use, you are likely breeding a new form of drug-resistant microbe inside of you.
In addition, many bacteria have the ability to directly share genes among each other, even between entirely different species of bacteria, via a process called conjugation, in which they directly transfer a gene or set of genes via a microtubule between eachother.
Until the governments enstate and practice policies that ensure they aren't abusing the people, knowingly supporting them in any way is aiding and abetting. If you know that I plan to offend someone with a tool, you are morally obligated to not sell me the tool.
Bullshit. He is undergoing the process of becoming one of the most powerful persons in our political hierarchy. He should be acting with honor and dignity in every step.
What I want to hear from someone in his shoes:
"The American people deserve a Justice without any doubt of his veracity. I refute these claims, and submit my withdrawal of candidacy. May we find the ideal candidate for this most important of positions who will certainly secure the constitution as laid out by our founding fathers. Thank you for your consideration."
Had he said that, I'd be writing in demanding he get the position.
Once again producers cripple the product for their entire paying customer base in order to fight off copyright infr8ngers that never would've bought the product in the first place. I really expected better from Nintendo.
>In your old school scenario if you were fired then Fred down at IT would have to schedule someone to physically come to your office and and re-program your door lock to stop you gaining access to not only your office but all those other sensitive places that you previously frequented. That would take time and manpower to do.
This could very well be considered a feature in terms of checks and balances.
>In a connected world, run one script and *poof* you are instantly persona non grata in the entire organization.
Indeed. And that is a lot of power in a single tool. The power itself makes it a much more valuable target to those with malicious intent. To create such an all powerful tool and not need to worry, your developers need to be PERFECT in every way. Keep in mind, no one is perfect, which is why no one should install such an all powerful tool. There is no such thing as perfect security, so stop connecting all of these important systems together. You're asking for a collapse.
"SWATting is not a harmless prank but creates a volatile situation where death or serious harm are outcomes which are not at all unlikely."
This is a serious problem and should not be the case. SWATting SHOULD be nothing more than a prank, if only the United States Police Forces weren't more on guard and over reactive than deployed United States military forces.
The police should have gone and checked out the situation carefully and comprehensively and noted that no danger to anyone at any point should occurred and that should've been the end of the ordeal.
The police of the USA show a completed disregard for human life - who are we to hold more responsible, the trained adult government officers who shot an innocent man on bad information or the fucked up kids looking up to them and likewise learning to hold a disregard for human life?
The kids aren't alright, but its the fault of the powers in charge promoting and protecting the US stasi. Would be nice to be a part of such a protected clique.
I'd really appreciate the ability to switch between OSes like I can virtual desktops. Modern hardware certainly supports this potential.
I hope someone within the Linux community returns with a competing feature, enabling a seamless OS transition, founded upon Linux, an OS that doesn't invade your privacy, while eventually providing additional sand boxing & integration features around Windows, locking it into it's own little garden.
Could an authentic Microsoft Windows installation be forced into becoming a mere compatibility layer built on top of Linux?
The best of both worlds: Windows compatibility coupled with Linux security.
We should be doing our best to flood the market with high quality healthcare providers. Pump out doctors & nurses, offering free full ride scholarships, and watch the costs drop.
Why not install some version of Linux and run whatever windows is necessary as a virtual machine? Sure would make windows upgrades easier to deploy, as one could merely distribute an updated image, and machines would be less likely to crash all the way down, and instead would only crash the emulator. For devices that depend on old versions of windows, the VM image might be read only in order to halt any malicious writes.
It is certainly not the first time confusing legalese & methodology of law was utilized to defy the will of the People, often in such a way as to encourage the ignorant into surrendering their rights to government. See the United States (Federal) Citizen first initialized in the 14th amendment. Prior to the 14th, the Federal Government had no method to direct the average man or woman, but by accepting & acknowledging the position of the federal citizen (initially created for freed slaves), federal jurisdiction is accepted in many cases. Prior to the 14th, only State Citizens existed.
"If not, good luck keeping London as the de-facto headquarters for the financial sector in Europe."
Interestingly enough, none of this legislation applies at all, whatsoever, to those financial institutions, not because they have been exempted from this legilstaion, but because these institutions are located within a sovereign corporate state that exists centered in London City, ambiguously named The City of London. This state is absolutely outside of the law of Great Britain. It is also known by another name - "the Crown". "The Crown" is not a reference to the queen nor royal family head, but to this corporation-dominated state. Have you ever heard of a "crown colony"? Those were run by this corporate oligarchy, ever protected from the laws of democratic republics.

You are absolutely correct - now we need people like you to step up and lead social change.
In that case we should end all property laws as they negatively affect me and my ability to travel, eat, clothe myself, etc.
Oh, you think property laws are necessary? Well, my body is my property. I can destroy it as I please.
