    Your precious first amendment doesn't apply in the EU.

  2. Re:Not as hard for Google as the small guy on EU Warns Tech Giants To Remove Terror Content in 1 Hour -- or Else (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you ever seen terrorist posts on small blogs or forums? There's no reason if only a handful of people see it and flag it right away. That said, if a forum doesn't have a flag function it's time to add it.

    Review everything, via ML if that works, otherwise by humans.

  4. I like my dumb speakers on Slashdot Asks: Which Smart Speaker Do You Prefer? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't need speakers that eavesdrop on me. If I want that I'll use a microphone.

    And of course fossil fuels (which are peaking) that power mechanized agriculture had nothing to do with it.

  6. Re:KDE on The Most Popular Linux Desktop Programs (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Nonsense. KDE is neither fat nor slow. However it needs 3D acceleration these days so it won't work well without it, e.g. on frambruffer video.

  7. Re:vi is clearly the best on The Most Popular Linux Desktop Programs (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    ed is the Unix text editor.

  8. Look up some of Kevin Anderson's presentations. To keep below the carbon budget for 2C the industrialized world would have to decarbonize steeply. Not gonna happen. And that's without considering global dimming which is good for about 1C. IOW, 3C are in the pipeline even with an extreme effort.

  9. Re:Sick of the alarmism on 25 Years of Satellite Data Shows Global Warming Is Accelerating Sea Level Rise (usnews.com) · · Score: 0

    I don't know if you noticed that quite a bit of NYC was underwater not too long ago. This will become more frequent, to the point that part of the infrastructure fails.

  10. Probably nothing because it was all dissolved in water. Oh and humans emit CO2 at a rate of about 100x of all volcanoes combined.

    You can create gold from iron: Supernovae do it all the time. We would do it in the lab if it wasn't millions of times more expensive than filtering gold out of dirt.

    Earth is as much the center of the universe as any other point.

    Bah. Bittorrent FTW.

  16. Whoa, that's a bit of juice. Now I'm wondering how much CO2 per year is attributable to mining. Assuming most is done in China: What's the average carbon use per TJ or GWh in China?

  17. Re:When the resource wars start on France Passes Law To Ban All Oil, Gas Production By 2040 (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    You can also say that if/when the consensus becomes "we *need* that fossil fuel, and fuck the climate" they can repeal this law and will have more resources left than others who burned everything as quickly as possible.

    Munich Re has a chart with weather/flood related insurance claims versus other (usually geophysical like earthquakes.) The first category has increased 4x relative to the second over the last few decades.

  24. Re:Is there an alternate DNS yes? on Judge Recommends ISP and Search Engine Blocking of Sci-Hub in the US (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Use of port 53 is often restricted. At work I can only use the corporate nameserver; accessing any outside server fails. Traceroute using port 53 stops at the first big switch.

  25. Is there an alternate DNS yes? on Judge Recommends ISP and Search Engine Blocking of Sci-Hub in the US (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm thinking along the lines of a DHT. Then you should be able to cobble up a DNS server that goes to the alternate system if lookup in DNS fails. Slightly easier than editing /etc/hosts.
