In order to express the same idea you'd have to say more, but being as quick as possible to say something isn't really the goal nor is it totally necessary.
You must be a Java coder:-)
Brevity is probably preferred for native languages. For a universal "commerce" language, though, ease-of-learning may trump brevity.
Perhaps another way to say what he did is that communities and their populations have gradually adapted to their local environment by either infrastructure, or by natural "filtering" whereby those who couldn't tolerate local conditions moved elsewhere.
What climate change is doing is changing these "familiar" conditions and creating situations that didn't exist or were rarer before per given spot.
It seems you interpreted his speech as claiming the total "mass" of climate-related problems is increasing. Rather, I interpret it as saying the kinds of problems are being shuffled around from their "usual" spot, catching more unprepared. The total number of cards is roughly the same, but the deck is being shuffled.
Those used to dry weather may now have more floods. Those used to wet weather may now have more droughts. Those used to warm weather may now have more cold days. Those used to cool weather may now have more sweltering days. Etc.
I've yet to find a good allergy medication without unpleasant side-effects or that diminishes in effectiveness over time as the body compensates. You cannot extrapolate your personal experience to all others. Despite what any Beatles tune says, I am not you.
[Esperanto is] actually quite difficult because of it's European bias
Is it possible to not be biased toward a region's patterns and style? For example, it could be made tone-based to be more compact, like many Asian languages, but Europeans would be more likely to be tripped up by tones.
then punished those beings that failed to believe in it, said deity would be sick and twisted, not deserving of worship but in need of intense psychotherapy.
Look at it from this perspective: Humans may someday be able to control or make sub-universes and/or simulations of universes. We'd then become deities from the perspective of any beings in such worlds. Thus, the idea of a deity is not so far fetched. It's within the realm of scientific speculation.
Further, some of the humans who end up making or are put in charge of some of those worlds may turn out to be sadistic jerks. Thus, the situation you described is not entirely unrealistic. Acting "deities" could exist and could end up being jerks.
That being said, I don't trust the humans of our Earth to get the traits of any such deity right, IF we are under such an overlord. They'd likely make up crap about the deity if they had contact with him/her/it. Or, it would be indistinguishable from tales of fake encounters.
Being awestruck and seeing them as "beautiful" are different things. Then again, human emotions are sometimes tricky to decipher and separate. I would hope people fear the use of such weapons from either side of a conflict regardless of appreciation of their power.
It wasn't sold that way to Congress etc. If it's pie-in-the-sky research, then call it pie-in-the-sky research rather than make it sound like mere implementation of proven ideas.
I'm not against research, but I am against the mislabeling of it.
I have a right-leaning relative who opened a coffee-table history book to a fold-out picture of a mushroom cloud. He stared a while, shook his head and proclaimed, "nukes are soooo beautiful!" He resembled a 12-year-old drooling over a centerfold*. Odd character. Some people are just strongly drawn to raw power.
It would be nice if the new CEO made a general and spirited speech about MS mending its ways. I know speeches are just words and not deeds, but the first step in recovering from Evil Addiction is to admit you have/had a problem.
I don't think so. Prison is Crime U. You are surrounded by slime-bags with slime-bag ideas all day who have all the time in the world to tell you tales.
Yes, before he was caught. A sentence of a billion years probably wouldn't have prevented those 19.
Plus, I don't discount the Deterrence effect.
I do. A cost/benefit analysis suggests we often over-detain for "feel good" political reasons.
In some cases it makes the problem WORSE because the thought of long sentences makes the chasee take bigger risks. One rapist told investigators he killed his under-age victim because the penalty for murder was only slightly more than the rape sentence. The "jail math" thus lead him to remove the "witness".
Let the buzzword hoppers be the pioneers who get arrows in their backs before the hard lessons of "The Cloud" are learned and publicized.
In my opinion we need better standards of file and data representation, and stack versioning for the cloud to work effectively. Vendors would have to cooperate to pull it off, and that's often the hard part.
For clouds to fulfill the virtualization role they claim to provide, it has to be just as easy to leave (migrate) a cloud as it does to join. Vendors typically make joining easy but leaving hard to order to hook you and keep you hooked. (Cue Eagle's "Hotel California")

If somebody answers with "NodeJS", I'll personally install Windows on your Linux server.

Woops, the same respondent said they drink a lot of caffeine.
No, that's from the Troll Survey, not the Developer Survey. You RTFA wrong.
A.K.A. the "comma era", because commas resemble mullets.

Yeah, everyone knows you use duct-tape for that instead of screwdrivers.
