To prevent people from saying "BULLSHIT" to something that is not supported by reality is the most irrational approach I have ever heard.

We are lost as a civilization if we are not allowed to challenge assumptions, especially baseless assumptions.

And is not a MMORPG an environmental simulation ?

Usually the way to find a limit is to run into. When that happens in a simulation the simulation usually fails. Sometimes spectacularly.

Just in case it is a sim, do we really want to try and break it?
So the bigger problem is how to find the limits without breaking the process.

I will not work in advertising.

Why wrap your world around a giant fusion reactor that requires a massive clearance space if you can make smaller more portable more mobile units?

In response all websites should have their pages below a /speedtest/ toplevel directory

Insulate the loop.
Only enter the lotteries that have a winner who has not yet come forward and identifed themselves.

Then after entering the lotteries, cash purchases only, go into hiding using cash only for 2 weeks and wait until the other timeline you has gone back in time.
Only then reappear as yourself.

Just legislate that every 3 years an industrial site must open itself to a 1 week pown to own event. If anyone can pown the control system they get to own the plant.

Would make for some nice corporate-on-corporate events to gain control. Even enviro-on-corporate.

Yes this is quite silly. But might as well have it happen in the open rather than behind closed doors.

A) valid criticism must always be possible
          - can you imagine a society where valid criticism is not allowd ?
B) religions are non verifiable
          - still waiting

- which basically means all criticism, investigation, and parody of religions must be possible

a) any patent extending or similar to existing patents, application price is x2 for research
b) any patent where similar work is easily found by the patent office but was not referred, costs x5 to continue application once the similar work is found
c) any patent where terms are obfuscated by not using the most common industry standard terminology and reference terms x2 for research
d) any patent where once obfuscated terms are cleared up similar work is easily found, costs x10 to continue application
e) idea registery separate from patent. not subject to exploding fees as above. the idea is open and can be used by anyone. Is a sort of defensive patent. Means anyone can use the idea and it cannot be patented and held proprietary by anyone.
f) different costs for patents in different areas due to research needed .....
lots of ways to provide support

0) all 40 major climate models are in agreement and new tweaks over last couple of years do not adjust any of them significantly
1) previously assumed 2'C crisis point is looking bad. Current conditions indicate 1'C is likely edge of strange world. We are at 0.8'C now.
2) 265 GT of carbon release will get us to 2'C point
3) 2,795 GT of carbon in known preserves slated for exploitation

why does it matter -->>
In the course of this month, a quadrillion kernels of corn need to pollinate across the grain belt, something they can't do if temperatures remain off the charts. Just like us, our crops are adapted to the Holocene, the 11,000-year period of climatic stability we're now leaving... in the dust.

I am interested in how anyone would predict the successfull contributions of people who have been hiding in the patent office for several years being denied promotions for their lack of credentials.

Exceptions are exceptionally hard to predict.

A bank note QR code would refer to a single site. It would not go to "the world".
Input hardening in such a case should be reasonably trivial. And if it failed to have the proper form it would be false.

Whole room projection has been in scifi forever and a whole bunch of researchers have done it before some with moving floors.

Where this MS patent is different and where it becomes patentable is "main display" and "secondary display" and merging the two.
It envisions your TV as your main display, with some sort of secondary projector to do the rest of the room and the secondary projection will merge with what is on the TV.

Flight simulators have used multiple merged screens for years. But the MS idea of primary and secondary is slightly different.
