Here's the CO2 numbers for US, EU, and China, as of 2017: https://www.forbes.com/sites/r...

Over the past decade, the US and EU reduced their footprint. Meanwhile, China tripled theirs, and now emits more carbon dioxide than the U.S. and EU combined.

According to eia.gov https://www.eia.gov/todayinene... "Coal accounts for most of China's energy consumption, and coal has maintained an approximate 70% share of Chinese consumption (on a Btu basis) since at least 1980, the starting date for EIA's global coal data. By way of comparison, coal was 18% of U.S. energy use and 28% of global energy use in 2012."

Sorry, I meant November 2016 - not 2017. Wages have been increasing nicely since around Nov 2016.

Here is a graph of historical US wage growth https://tradingeconomics.com/u...

Based on the 5 year chart, wage increases steadily dropped from 2014 until around November 2017, when increases bottomed out at close to zero. Since the election, wages have recovered nicely. There are dips and peaks in the chart, but the current trend is very encouraging.

"How much space do you need?"

Look at the picture in TFA. Take the amount of space in the photo, and divide that by the number of plants you see. If you do this carefully, you will notice that the room is quite spacious, compared to most greenhouses.

If TFA showed how the scientist created technology that can grow lots of vegetables in a tiny area, it might be impressive. But based on the article and photo provided, the scientist achieved about as much as a kid in a 4-H project.

" by May scientists hope to harvest 4-5 kilograms of fruit and vegetables a week

Could you do that?"

Yes. I grew up on a small farm that produced several truckloads of vegetables every week. And yes, we started them under grow lights and greenhouses while there was snow on the ground. My father did this with only an 8th grade education.

Given enough space, heat, and lighting, 10 pounds of vegetables isn't very much. Looking at TFA, the scientist didn't look like he was working in a crammed environment, compared to any other greenhouse. Forgive me for being dismissive, but it's been done before.

Grow lights have been around for a while.

We used to grow bean sprouts while on long canoe trips. Sprouts are easy to grow, don't take up much space, taste good, and fairly nutritious.

The fact that she had a bicycle leads me to believe that she was not blind. And based on her walking speed, I doubt that she was being chased. However, IF it was an electric car, she might have misjudged the vehicle's distance and speed.

What I saw on the video was an inattentive "driver", looking down for a full 5 seconds just before impact, and not hitting the brakes or making any attempt to avoid the pedestrian. I suspect that the "driver" was lulled into believing that the car was better than it really was, and therefore, behaving like a passenger rather than a driver.

Very sad.

FTFA: Hackers tried to cash out the 31 Binance accounts, but by that point, Binance had blocked all withdrawals. Furthermore, in the subsequent investigation, Binance identified the 31 accounts, reversed all transactions, and confiscated the original Viacoin funds that hackers deposited in the accounts.

Good thing TFS redacted the domain name. Now a person has to read TFA to see the text, and we know that will never happen.

Exactly. Even the Bushes were vocal opponents of Trump.

The problem isn't a democrat vs republican issue. It is a battle of "deep state" vs an outsider. The outsider must be stopped at all costs. The worst thing that can happen is that the outsider is successful. Every democrat and half of the republicans would rather have the country fail, than to have an outsider succeed.

>> "Told" to hate him? You think there are marching orders for that? >>
It depends on what you call "marching orders". But with 90% of news coverage being negative (citations provided via DuckDuckGo), it is easy to reinforce your hatred, overlook everything else, and discount anything positive as a "far right wacko" news source. Conversely, if you are a Trump supporter, it gets easy to be disgusted with the mainstream media, and discount even the stories that have merit.

Just a guess that parent AC read it two days ago on /.

Anyone who has ever built a spud gun knows that AquaNet works much better.

Back in the 80's, SCO was the only Unix available for the X86 platform. But the price was about $400-500, which was past the finch point of most software geeks at the time. You can't help but wonder what would have happened if they dropped the price to $99, and gave the world a decent alternative to MSDOS. Would SCO occupy the space that Linux has since filled?
