  1. phantonfive is not trolling. They always do recover.... but we do need to understand the mechanism that causes the bleaching. If it's human-induced, we need to curb that!

    Climatologists are not mechanical engineers, they are PhD's. I agree, engineers are very careful about the details. However, PhD's don't have life-risk to consider. I fact, there is overt manipulation of the data upon which most (if not all) of the climate "conclusions" are based.

    Further, engineers don't have the luxury of being influenced by confirmation biases or other cognitive issues.... because engineering data is wholly-objective and extremely repeatable. "climate science" is neither; the inductive processes they apply seem to lead down paths that would follow confirmation bias, repeatedly. I'm involved in science and a great mentor of mine once said that, "if you torture the data enough, it will tell you anything you want to hear...."

    Thanks for throwing out ad hom attacks and red herrings. Now, back to the fact that Mark's data directly contradicts his own statements and conclusions. I'm sure that data is published in a peer-reviewed journal, too.... so let's talk about the issue I've raised.

    Mark Serreze is a well-known person in the climate debate community. But the link above is to HIS OWN data which directly contradicts his statements in the NYT article. I'm not attacking him personally, but I have substantive conflict with the way he conveyed the veracity and conclusions about his own data.

    Actually, the sea ice extent was LOWER in 2006, for NASA's own data. Further, this years ice extent is roughly equivalent to a couple years, over the past decade. What's happening hear is that several thousand people whom rely on the climate change scam, for their paycheck, are ramping up the BS so they can remain on the gravy train....

  10. Re:Not an example of net neutrality problem on Verizon Wireless Wades Right Back Into the Net Neutrality Debate With Fios Deal (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    We will agree to disagree. A carrier making it less expensive to carry traffic that doesn't have to traverse another carrier (ergo it reduces the carriers costs) is just capitalism, which is good. I will stipulate that it makes it _possibly_ _somewhat_ more expensive to consume off-carrier content, but that's only if you are a maniac-streamer. In which case, that's your problem.

  11. Not an example of net neutrality problem on Verizon Wireless Wades Right Back Into the Net Neutrality Debate With Fios Deal (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    A violation of the principle of net neutrality would be either Fios or Verizon nerfing a non-Verizon / non-Fios service. In this case, they are just making it cheaper to consume bandwidth that remains on their backbone. Nerfing Netflix or prioritizing voice packets from another voice provider would be a violation of the net-neutral principles. Which they aren't doing.

  13. Wrong, they generally find rioting idiots to put down. By the way, the people you have to worry about, are not the people in uniforms. Generally, it's the dirt bags with no morals or ethics... aka the rioters in Furgeson.

  15. You're a complete retard and have not studied the History of Nazi Germany. The citizens where systematically disarmed, so that they could pose no credible threat to the Reich. The ONLY time that citizens were armed was during the pinch on Berlin, at which time anyone who could carry a Panzerfaust or rifle was pressed into service (at gunpoint) to serve until death or victory.

  16. Stadiums are massively expensive on NFL Fights To Save TV Blackout Rule Despite $9 Billion Revenue · · Score: 1
    Ticket revenue probably goes to maintaining those monstrous stadiums and huge salaries. If you take away their ability to control WHO sees the content and WHEN they see it, they couldn't rape fans for $100-$2000 per ticket. If there is only one local source to view the LIVE content (read: go to the game), the NBA can continue to charge OBSCENE fees for the tickets and morons will continue to pay those fees for the privileged of viewing the LIVE content.

    .

    Personally, I am a free market person. If fans weren't so rabidly willing to pay the OBSCENE ticket prices, the market would correct downward. However, it would seem that the market is willing to support these OBSCENE ticket prices, so game on!!

    It's interesting to me that, when someone publishes a study that might not support the liberal template of "renewables and sustainables rock", the moderators also publish a rebuttal.

  20. You don't know the half of it on Here Comes the Panopticon: Insurance Companies · · Score: 1
    Health Insurance companies are "sharing" prescription and condition history with "partners" that are paying them to... yes your PHI too. And, because they are first-parties (aka "partners") you aren't told about these data-sharing agreements, and you aren't given the ability to opt-out. The problem with this is that the other insurers (life, health, auto, etc.) and pharma companies subscribe to these data clearinghouses as "partners," allowing them all to circumvent HIPPA in-spirit, but remain within the letter. You may be no risk at all, taking an anti-depressant, however, the life insurer will rate you as a suicide / high risker.... see where I am going with this?

    The spirit of HIPPA was to keep the fact that you are a pot smoking, HIV infected (but otherwise productive and high-functioning) person out of the hands of anyone THAT YOU DONT WANT TO HAVE IT.

    Guess what, I work in healthcare and have 10 more storied like this.... if you think your health insurance and healthcare providers are vangaurds of privacy.... ROTFLMAO... you have no idea.
