I’ve been listening to climate change alarmists for 40+ years. Every time the next horrible milestone is just a couple decades in the future. None have ever occurred. It reminds me of cult leaders who speak of a rapture for his followers. Every time a date is missed, he chastises the unbeliever and sets a new date. Meanwhile, both cult leader and climate scientist / leader profits off the gullibility of the followers.
Since c is the speed of light, you are correct, sir.
In the Northern Hemisphere, days with Daylight Savings are scientifically longer than Standard Time daysaxial tilt.
If the app allows drivers to report when another driver is speeding, then it should also automatically report whenever the app-user is speeding. I could see someone slowing down below the speed limit just to report another driver.
If we're really concerned about three Americans killing one person with carbon, if we can identify who this three Americans are then we should be able to stop them.
As an American I have a couple of questions. First if I can get two other Americans to help me create enough carbon, can I pick who I can kill? Because, I can make a quick list of both people to help me and people that I'd like to kill. Second question, what if I only want to maim them? Does it take two other people, or can I just do that by myself?
Microsoft will more likely use BSD, like Apple, because of its more business-friendly license terms
I remember being taught the same thing in the 70s and 80s. And being reminded in the 1990s it would all end by 2020. Every 10 years, the deadline gets pushed to 40ish years from the date of the dire warning. I figure itâ(TM)s around the retirement age of the person making the prediction. Occasionally they will make a mistake and set the date within 20 years.
We hit peak oil in the mid 1990s, and should hit peak coal in the next 10 based on what I was taught in the 80s. We ran out of food in 2000. The planet could not sustain more than 6 billion people, when there were 4 billion.
Of course, the solution is always stronger government control over the means of production and smaller families. The US population grows due to immigration, and the Far East is over populated...and Africa is on the rise. So the logical (and racist) suggestion is to curb population where there we have too many.
Or we recognize that any peak is over the event horizon.

They GDP crew was also arrested and charged for federal sex trafficking by fraud & coercion. The women were victims.
Here is data to refute the claim that this was the hottest day on record...records from 100 years ago that were hotter.
Why are they limiting the comparison of June 2019 to the cool period between 1951-80? Why not extend it to 1930 of 1919? They used to compare 100 years back. But, that doesn't seem to help the narrative.
Software is software, whether Open Source or Commercial. I tried explaining to a peer that a given commercial product was a heavy user of OSS. The peer said that was a flaw because OSS is totally unsupported...so we should go with a separate product that is totally supported by commercial software.
There are many OSS products that have a corporate license model in place that bridges the divide between the two. In the case above, the product using OSS invests in the technologies it needs, regardless of whether the product is OSS. That's a matter of risk management (pay to ensure your dependencies are supported) and giving back to the community.
I no longer develop...I'm effectively a layman. I use a few OSS offerings (e.g. Atom), and I license to a few products I like (e.g. Font Awesome). So, here's my thought:
If you're using FOSS, ask yourself how much you would pay for the product if it were commercial. Then either donate or license that amount financially...or offer your time. Assume you work 1800 hours per year (US Department of Labor says the average US adult works 1811 hours/year). Divide your take-home income by that amount. That's the value of your time. Rather than spend that money to the OSS, give that many hours of your time.
So, let's say your per-hour value is $30, and you would pay $900 a year for a given software product. That's 30 hours of labor you could give back to that OSS product.
There have only been seven Landsats. Landsats six died on the pad. Landsat 9 is being prepared for launch.
Agree...
That said, the Second Amendment states it shall not be infringed...which means strict scrutiny. The Fourth protects from unreasonable privacy invasions, which is a rational basis. Best way to think about it is...if the people don't protest the TSA body cavity searches and replace their congressman it is reasonable.
