The U.S. most certainly already has a store of nuclear tipped rockets meant for leaving Earth orbit precisely for this threat. Most people don't understand that this is what fundamentally differentiates us from all other living organisms in history and all our previous generations - we are are aware of and are able to defend ourselves against asteroids and comets, which are able to end entire biospheres and everything in it.

Mr. Curtis, the entire point of your website was to steer young kids to your paid porn websites. Aren't you ashamed?

No you shouldn't reject it because it was written by two women, because even if it was one man and one woman, that no longer captures the spectrum of gender these days. There is no way to get a "representative" slice of gender because there are gender-neutral people, transgender, and polygender, and all the shades in-between. Also one could make the case that a gay or bisexual member of a gender would have a relevantly different viewpoint that needs to be included. So, accept the paper, and evaluate it for yourself on a case-by-case basis whether there is bias due to whatever gender group submitted it.

That's where Assange is going for sure. They can get him on a few different federal charges now.

Then why did it just develop? If it's just geology, it should have been there since the Aztecs.

I ran this on my microcontroller code, and it found all sorts of these errors in all my timer and counter code. Now I have to go patch it all before any of those overflows happen. Thanks MIT!

Unless they get a company like Halliburton to use them as a supplier, they'll never get any government contracts, because they simply lack the capacity and infrastructure to be able to respond to a natural disaster.

Good article bro.

...we may really be worrying more about the methane. Thats set to grow.

...is no physical memory, at all. The processor is simply as wide as necessary, so if your program and data is 100 megabytes large, then you need a 800 megabit processor, or a processor with 100 megabytes of register. Yes, thank you.

If you know how the image was blurred, and you know you should be looking at a picture of a face, isn't it straightforward enough to design a video filter algorithm that could come up with a few unique variables values to track? Maybe the trick here is how to do it quickly enough to process live video and track people in realtime with a standard desktop-class system?.

Isn't this kind of blatantly misleadingly titled, purporting to be about processor speeds in general, but actually is an advertisement for a new HP computer?

Alibaba has almost five times the sales of Amazon, and mostly from non-first world countries to boot. Amazon has no choice whatsoever if they want access to that market. Almost seems like it should be a monopoly concern though.

People are combining two different acts when going solar, a) getting off of fossil fuels, and b) generating their own power that the big energy companies don't control. Energy companies are not necessarily against a), but b) is anathema to them, and therefore they are doing everything they can to block the adoption of solar. In my opinion, the primary goal of going solar is to curb the effects of climate change. Comparatively I don't really care if I'm grid-independent or able to sell my excess power back, etc. Therefore this got me thinking, and I was shocked to have this very pro-utility conclusion: I would be happy if legislation was passed that outlawed individual ownership of personal solar installations, and mandated big utilities to install, operate, and maintain them instead. I would continue sending a check each month as I have been for my power like before, and my bill might even go up 10-30%.

I decided I would tolerate this because utilities would stop blocking solar and go ahead and install it on every roof in America. They wouldn't go bankrupt as the need for fossil fuels waned, and I wouldn't have to worry about the solar panels on my roof. We would meet and exceed any goals for carbon reduction in a matter of years, and with no big utilities going bankrupt. I honestly would be all for it, let the utilities continue to control me, we've got to address climate change NOW.

And I'm a democrat!

I was just going to patent combo taco trucks and 3D printing trucks. First the printer makes you a chicken burrito with guacamole, and then prints out Elon Musk's latest rocket nozzle in titanium. That's an invention worth patenting like Amazon's, right, right???
