Yep- so Europe freezes- humanity has been dying there for ages. We'll just shift to other continents.

Is the answer. Hydroponic roofs, green walls, can reduce energy usage (due to increased insulation of the plants themselves), make growing food more local (grow the food where the people are, instead of trucking from many miles away) and actually look better than traditional landscaping around brutalist architecture.
From the point of view of the peer-review industrial complex of publishers, who can't stand their methods being questioned (or their insane "publication fees" being questioned).
The problem is that there *is* significant evidence to back up the claims that the data was manipulated. Whether or not this led to an incorrect conclusion is in doubt, but real world data contains more noise than that.
Had to change the subject line- the parent is correct, the right way to deal with this sort of thing is to *show your evidence* and take the lumps in criticism to your methodology one by one.
Galileo made the same mistake. When he didn't have enough evidence to prove his theories (because his circular orbits were actually wrong, we now know) he wrote a very insulting and imaginative dialogue explaining his ideas- while making certain church officials look stupid. In response he was tried before the Inquisition and, in one of those examples of the Inquisition being more merciful than the modern court system- was found guilty, sentenced to a lifetime house arrest in a 47 room villa with a fully equipped laboratory, with his only time out to keep going to Mass and attend church. And losing his ability to publish papers.
Somehow I don't think the current DC court is going to be so generous to either side.
I would love such a job at this stage in my career.
Yep. And from the results of the Alaska Airlines inspection- failure to properly use lock-tite on bolts during maintenance (bet it was a cost cutting measure for the airlines!)
It shouldn't be on the landlords; it should be on the local electric company that already has a heavily regulated monopoly. Every single new meter, should come with an outdoor 220 amp charging port. Problem solved in a few years.
3rd option- realize that for the majority of roadtrips in an electric vehicle will require type II slow charging at hotels, and get the big hotel chains onboard to designate a number of rooms linked to charging stations (preferably the ones on the first floor next to the parking spaces).
Then sell room service to subsidize the price of charging and make it even more reasonable.
Who wouldn't want a two hour break after every 350 miles of driving?
This. I could have sworn that the World's First Trillionaire happened under the Kaiser Wilhelm in Germany in the 1920s. And again in the late 1990s in Zimbabwe.
Money is fungible, numbers are meaningless.
Goodbye WebMD and any other Internet Bran ds website. It's clear they don't care about their workers nor do they care about customers.
Dictionary of numbers says that the Teacher's Union can make up the shortfall out of politician's bribes alone.
There's just something *wrong* about moveable escape hatches.
About two weeks, if I remember correctly. I've had a few long-running debates end just as they were getting interesting. I believe the engine for the main page and the journal entries is the same code, with just a tag in a separate table in the back end database. Anyway, that's the way it worked the last time I looked at the "open source slashdot" code back in, I think, 2001? Might have changed since then.
We already had CTRL and Alt and two shift keys and on some keyboards a Fn key...did we really need the windows and context keys?
In fact, with how often the context key gets used, why not remap the context key?
Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.
