It seems I read a couple of years back that climate scientist saying due to climate change we were going to have a drought that lasted 100 years. Furthermore, if I recall right they were predicting the end of farming as we know it...
Did I miss something, or are things being turned on their head?
These articles about how the "Russians" spread disinformation appear more like a post election "Wag the Dog" style damage control.
Which seems a more likely scenario: 1) The Russians did it, even though evidence has not been provided; or 2) Oh crap! The people see how we tried to rig the primaries, and how a totally corrupt and biased the mainstream news media is. We have to reframe the scenario so that we can gain control of what the plebs think. If we do not, we will never be able to manipulate an election again where we the DNC and mainstream media pick the winners of an U.S. election.
In order to copyright it you have to publish. Binaries aren't subject to copyright.
Not true, in the U.S. something is copyrighted the moment it is created.
In order to get statutory damages and attorney fees, a work must be registered with the Copyright office.
17 U.S. Code 412 - Registration as prerequisite to certain remedies for infringement In any action under this title, other than an action brought for a violation of the rights of the author under section 106A(a), an action for infringement of the copyright of a work that has been preregistered under section 408(f) before the commencement of the infringement and that has an effective date of registration not later than the earlier of 3 months after the first publication of the work or 1 month after the copyright owner has learned of the infringement, or an action instituted under section 411(c), no award of statutory damages or of attorney’s fees, as provided by sections 504 and 505, shall be made for— (1) any infringement of copyright in an unpublished work commenced before the effective date of its registration; or (2) any infringement of copyright commenced after first publication of the work and before the effective date of its registration, unless such registration is made within three months after the first publication of the work.
If a lawyer did, it is probably an ethics violation...
Information About Legal Services Model Rules - Rule 7.3 Solicitation of Clients
(a) A lawyer shall not by inperson, live telephone or real-time electronic contact solicit professional employment when a significant motive for the lawyer's doing so is the lawyer's pecuniary gain, unless the person contacted:
(1) is a lawyer; or
(2) has a family, close personal, or prior professional relationship with the lawyer.
(b) A lawyer shall not solicit professional employment by written, recorded or electronic communication or by inperson, telephone or real-time electronic contact even when not otherwise prohibited by paragraph (a), if:
(1) the target of the solicitation has made known to the lawyer a desire not to be solicited by the lawyer; or
(2) the solicitation involves coercion, duress or harassment.
(c) Every written, recorded or electronic communication from a lawyer soliciting professional employment from anyone known to be in need of legal services in a particular matter shall include the words "Advertising Material" on the outside envelope, if any, and at the beginning and ending of any recorded or electronic communication, unless the recipient of the communication is a person specified in paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2).
(d) Notwithstanding the prohibitions in paragraph (a), a lawyer may participate with a prepaid or group legal service plan operated by an organization not owned or directed by the lawyer that uses inperson or telephone contact to solicit memberships or subscriptions for the plan from persons who are not known to need legal services in a particular matter covered by the plan.
In order to sue in Federal court, a plaintiff much either show a Federal Question which allows federal courts to hear any case alleging a violation of the Constitution, laws, and treaties of the United States. What is the Federal Question in this case.
If the suit isn't brought by claiming a Federal Question, the plaintiff must show that they meet a Amount in Controversy Requirement of possibly recovering a minimum of $75,000.
With the drone costing only $1,800 the defendant can show a Legal Certainty that the plaintiff's claim it really much less that the required $75,000 to bring the suit.
If the plaintiff cannot show a just possibility of recovering $75,000, the case will be dismissed
"4) We already do this for many people already. It's called Social Security and Disability. Not to mention Prison and Institionalized - though those last two are a lot more expensive, they basically do the same thing."
In re: #4, Social Security was paid into by most who are taking from it.
Even so, have you seen the state of the Social Security program and the other entitlement programs? $127 Trillion unfunded liabilities.
And you think it is a good ideal redistribute more money instead of encouraging them to work?
They may promise a nice retirement in a green field, but when you get ready to do so, you will find that they send you to the glue farm, just like Boxer in "The Animal Farm."
What is the purpose of money... Why don't we force 10% of the population to work to support the 90%?
That is essentially what the idiot VC is saying.
By taking from the producers to support 90% of the takers you are stealing from the person that either works hard, or took risks in hopes of a better future.
You are enslaving the individual because you are stealing a portion of the persons life for the benefit of another.
One function of money is to ensure fairness when it comes to transactions for goods or services in life. The person who has worked hard or took risks to advance his or her wealth status should enjoy the fruits of their own labor.
What the VC is advocating is quasi Communism.
I really wish the would make "Animal Farm" mandatory reading in schools again.
Where does the primrose path end that the VC is advocating? All animals are equal, just some more so than others...
Lastly, without property rights, there is no real freedom.

I know... Godwin's Law, so before anybody dismisses the following line, think about it...
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels
Science is the study of what is and why. It starts with a formulation of a question; in this case, "Is man made CO2 causing a change to the climate." Next, a hypothesis is made based off the evidence already available. The next step is to make a prediction based off of the hypothesis; in this case, world wide temperatures is going to increase, aka climate temperature models. After which, the scientific community test the predictions; in this case, comparing actual temperature models against the predicted. Lastly, there is an analysis of the predictions against the actual findings. If the predictions do not line up with the actual findings the hypothesis is deemed to be wrong. In this case, the actual temperatures greatly deviate from the models and indicate that global cooling is occuring, As such, the theory of man made climate change is a failed theory...

I have seen some other articles that address the carbon cost of air conditioning, and some stating that air conditioning HCFC refrigerants are causing global warming.
I would not be surprised it this is one of many lead ups to "we must get rid or reduce air conditioning in order to save the environment" movement.
I think the U.S. citizens have forgotten and do not care what Liberty is anymore.
Liberty is the right to choose how one lives their lives. Now, it seems, we are in an era in which everybody is trying to control the actions of one another. So many problems would eventually fix themselves if government would get out of the peoples lives. It also appears government has gone from the servant of the people to the master of the subjects.
No one cares when our neighbors vices are being excessively regulated and taxed. The pain never hits home until it is something that we love that is being hit.
You said, "Performance is, all by itself, a good enough indicator. And by this metric, if taxing junk food causes a net reduction in their use, that makes it worthy."
Under that line of thinking, I could suggest heavily taxing your business. This would do two things: 1, raise revenues for the government; and 2, prevent obesity by taking away money that would have paid your employees.
There you go, a win-win solution. And you can feel better that you are not causing your employees to become fat.
They tell us that we are Free Men,
But the only rights you have are what they decide for you to have. What makes you think you have the rights to the fruits of your labor? What makes you think you have the right to eat what you want? What makes you think you have a right of privacy? What makes you think you are free?
I see that you are very short sighted, and intolerant of others freedoms.
It is because of view points such as yours that I stand resolute against the national (freedom stripping) health care scheme.
Freedom is precious, once it is given up, it is usually gone for good.
Just remember, when they start regulating, or prohibiting something you enjoy (and they will), you did it to others first.

Perhaps we are all missing the true end use for these lasers.
Maybe their intended use is to blind night vision devices and infrared cameras.
I read that the Chinese were using lasers to prevent pilots from getting near their bases and the island that they built in the South China Sea.
Perhaps this is an extension of that use.
Here are some non-slashdot articles for you as well...
As you can see my question was not unreasonable...

I think many Americans have become very distrusting of the mainstream news.
Why? Because, mainstream news has become entertainment, and entertainment has become the news.
We cannot have competing points of views or news that doesn't talk about the Kardashians.
Silly people, you can't handle alternative news, we have to filter it for you for your own good.

A culling occurs...
Never doubt the extent of the powers that be will do to solve this problem... War.

The last thing I would want to major in is CS.
Not because I hate computers or the prospect of programming.

As others have stated, the public education system is pumping out people who cannot even perform basic math and have rudimentary English skills.
If they cannot grasp even the basics, how are they ever going to obtain computer science skills.
