Exactly. Some will say the sun's energy is indeed variable but the effect on Earth is basically invariable -- thereby calling the sun's energy a constant while pretending to account for variance.
Bad science.
Show me where it's not considered a constant. 1 study.
How do you explain the matching ice-cap depletion on Mars?
Why, in a supposedly scientific study of warning is the source of warming (ie: the Sun) ignored and/or considered a constant in every study?
So they illegally stop paying their taxes when they pull their kid in a private school? I don't think so.
Wouldn't it be easier to have a video stream which contains the full sphere of video data at all times, and use the client-headset position to display a subset of that data?
That would allow infinite numbers of people to share the same virtual experience rather than create a silly 1-to-1 mechanized connection.
I actually do really like it, for exactly that use case. Considering that the process of settling the bill at a restaurant consists of:
1. Get the server to pay attention to you, and ask for the check
2. Have them deliver the check, and (as if by policy) say "take as much time as you like" and vanish
3. Have them notice that you've put down a card, and take it
4. Have them return with the receipt, you sign, and leave.
Usually steps 3-4 are near instance. However, steps 1-3 can take way too long sometimes.
(I wish doing 2 and 3 within the same minute was possible, but that's rare.)
And most banks still consider knowledge of your birthday as an authentication question. Not identification, authentication.
I know of a few big banks that only allow numeric digits! "Between 8 and 12 NUMERIC DIGITS".
Effective MAXIMUM security level -- 6 character password.
Poteltial MINIMUM security level -- 4 character password.
One of those institutions considers the account number itself as some "sup3r secr3t" number that only you are supposed to know, they warn you "don't let anyone know, keep your record of the account number secure".
Men and women are interested in different things. The feminists are beginning to look both silly and desperate in their efforts to come up with social explanations while ignoring the obvious truth: male and female brains are different.
No really. Before you mod this flamebait, check the studies. It's 100% true. Statistically speaking (well, at least according to several large surveys), most women actually do prefer male authority in the work-place.

And there are thousands of nightmare tales about all female workplaces...

Of course such statistics and stories will forever be dismissed by social justice warriors... And there are many here on Slashdot.
Oh please. I say this is a massive publicity stunt. How many celebs leaked "sex tapes" back in the day, expressing outrage right up until the months of careful planning and PR were revealed.
Secondly, "sex crime"? Good lord. Women today want everything to be classified as a sex crime. Give me a break.
I especially liked the introduction / explanation by Yoda.
The problem isn't just "expense" as the summary pretends. It's that the energy output is less than the energy inputs.
Scaling the reactor is like the old joke about "losing money on every sale, but making up for it on volume."
Because I'm pretty sure that talking to one's significant other is equally distracting.
So if I download lots of copyrighted music and films, but never listen to them -- then I'm apparently okay right?
But help me out here. the water is still in the oceans of the Earth. So what causes the net gravitational change? The change in density from less-dense ice to more-dense water?
I would guess that results in a gravitational increase. Where is the net loss coming from?
It is clear that the individual who persecutes a man, his brother, because he is not of the same opinion, is a monster. - Voltaire
