the rate of youth suicides haven't [sic] gone up

I cannot find a reliable recent source on this. However, older data suggests that the suicide rates for older people has been going down, but there is an uptick in rates for younger people. For instance, see Suicide rates by age from American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (based on CDC figures)

... anthropogenic global warming is not a grave threat to the planet and that climate change is being used as a scare tactic ...

Sure, in overall terms, global warming is not a grave threat to the planet. It is probably only slightly more dangerous than a catastrophic meteor impact. Apart from some coastal areas, the fundamental shape of the continents will remain pretty much in place. If you do not care that most current animal species (including our own) will not be part of the picture, there is really nothing to worry about.

As progress in most scientific fields occurs at an ever faster rate, it is logical that previous research is more quickly supplanted by more relevant recent papers. Are we supposed to be surprised by this phenomenon?

Using the WayBackMacine to archive the site is risky. Recognize that one line added to the robots.txt at any point in the future can render all the content inaccessible (at least) and possibly cause it to be deleted.

I am quite surprised IBM, Microsoft, Google or one of the other big organizations has not picked this up.

Using the WayBackMachine for this is risky. All it takes is one line added to the robots.txt at any point in the future, and archive.org will make the content inaccessible (at least), possibly delete it.

According to the authority Mr Jinks, the correct plural is "meeces"

AI is going to be used by those in power (mainly government, security agencies and military) to extend their power further.Unfortunately, humans are genetically programmed to select leaders who aggressively seek to expand the influence of their own group and of themselves. This was an important survival instinct for ancient tribes. It now contains the seeds of our total destruction, and the scientists will be powerless to prevent it.

I assume these applications are not running on the original hardware. They should still be working fine on current Fujitsu mainframes. There may be a valid reason to rewrite part or all of the applications because additional functionality is needed but, too often, money is wasted replacing systems (especially mainframe systems) that still meet most of the enterprise's needs, Often, "more flexible reporting" is used as an excuse for hugely expensive rewrites, when a periodic data extract into a separate data warehouse can meet the need much better, much more cheaply, and without disruption to existing production systems.

Some people find Mexican food hard to tolerate. This thing would need some *really* powerful indigestion medicine after that meal.

In a US civil ,action there is no bias towards either side. The case is decided on a preponderance of the evidence. I am sympathetic towards file sharers. I believe they provide a valuable service that is usually legal. That said, I do not think the defendant in this case should just be allowed to get rid of potential evidence without court permission, regardless of whether he thinks it will be useful. My sense is that either the judge did not understand the technology, or he thought the infraction was limited and should not saddle the defendant with a huge default judgment. [I hope that this does not eventually get overturned on appeal.]

The impact she can have depends on the attitude of the President and those around him.

Wouldn't it be easier to filter outbound packets destined for Gmail's SMTP servers and prevent Chinese email users from sending email to Gmail users? (This is an honest question.)

I think you mean Google's MX servers (the remote end when sending email through SMTP). If so, in a word, "yes", much easier, assuming users are using SMTP servers based in China. Indeed, you could simply prevent the connections from ever taking place, simulating authentication errors.

If you mean the SMTP protocol supports chained delivery routes, then I do not think this is true (at least not used in practice). However, business customers of Gmail (at least) can request that a different SMTP server than Google's be used for outgoing mail, and (of course) anyone using an external mail client can send using any SMTP server they like.

I reckon it is more likely to motivate Chinese private businesses to host their mail outside China. Whatever else you might say about Chinese businessmen, they are very good at keeping their eye on the bottom line. The state sector might not be able to do that, but they are less export oriented anyway.

Actually, your title is an (admittedly exaggerated) example of how hyphens can assist readability. The hyphens make clear that you are using a compound adjective. In fact, a common error in writing is omitting hyphens when they are necessary. For example, someone writing I saw a man eating alligator probably meant I saw a man-eating alligator .
