This Glacier was over the water so there will not be any water rise from this. Actually there should be a very minute contraction of sea level from this glacier (Greenland and other glacier losses will probably offset this anyways so there will most likely be no noticeable sea level change).

Also next winter and probably the one after that in Antarctica, there will be more sea ice than normal because this amount of water melting will lower the salinity of the water and allow it to freeze at a slightly higher temperature. But of course people will point at this and say that it is proof that there is no global warming.

The next question is how long it will take for the next section of the Larsen ice shelf to fall.

The article says this:

so why does the article's title (and the article here) say all stars are born in pairs.

Why this may be true for most stars, because most stars are born in stellar nurseries. It doesn't mean there aren't other circumstances where a star can develop on its own.

Maybe I am over-reacting to a headline, but I want scientific articles to be accurate so people don't just read headlines and assume they understand everything.

They are not currently free to do this. Under current rules all internet sites are given the same speed. And this is why ISP's are fighting these rules, because they are mostly giant corporations that only care about their stock holder's short term gains, not the user's experience. They did it previously in the couple of months where net neutrality rules were struck down Netflix Speeds Drop on Two ISPs

Why should I pay extra to get the internet I want, I already pay a higher price than most other 1st world countries for. And if that were the case how long would it be before you had to start paying $50 or $100 a month to get Netflix at a reasonable rate of speed plus the cost to access a slow version of the rest of the internet?

So if I don't want to pay for my ISP's version of the internet, I would just have to stop using the internet? Oh wait, I guess I could switch ISP's except I only have one ISP where I live, like a lot of this country. Most ISP's operate in localized monopolies. And this is the reason why we need Net Neutrality rules. If I could switch between Cox, Time Warner, Comcast or some other ISP with ease, Net Neutrality rules wouldn't matter, but most Americans cannot do this because the ISP provides both the service and the line to the house/ apartment.

If Net Neutrality is struck down. Then Comcast can slow down sites to an unreasonable amount. They could make it take forever to reach any site which said anything bad about the company or provided any competing services.

If you do not think this would ever happen, just look at what happened to Netflix for Comcast users in February 2014.

Net Neutrality declares that all internet traffic is give the same priority (minus a few exceptions which are not related at all to the provider's ability to make more money). ISP's are supposed to provide access to the internet, not their selected version of the internet. Or just internet websites that give the ISP's more of a financial benefit.

This is a nice idea, and it could be practical in 50 or so years. But why would you start in or around any city on the west coast. One earthquake during the early stages and this will die a terrible death, as would anyone buried in those tunnels.

Ok lets talk about this, then.

Previously Verizon killed Netflix's bandwidth for around a month to force them to pay more for the bandwidth they were using. Verizon was also the second largest lobbying company before the previous Net Neutrality rules went into effect. As they were completely against these rules, also they sued the federal government to force a decision about Net Neutrality.

I agree that law makers should do something about this, but most of them are corporate shills who would not disobey their masters. And net neutrality is going to affect everyone that uses the internet in America.

Also the tax overhaul is not happening right now, first it has to make it to the floor of the House then the Senate, and pass both of them. And this just seems like a distraction from the topic at hand.

Last time they almost did this, during Obama's term, it took a great video from some comedic fool to set it straight. Last Week Tonight Net Neutrality And this was done during the FCC comment period, before the rule went into to affect, to force people to look at this.

Yeah everyone's Netflix, Amazon, Apple and/or other internet costs are going to go up. Because ISP's are going to force them to pay more for the same bandwidth.

But this will somehow increase competition, because a lot more internet providers are about to come into your area. Because somehow this was holding them back...

Fossil fuels are easy to store but they are also dangerous as they can catch fire and/or explode pretty easily. (Yes I know current lithium batteries have a similar issue, but solid lithium batteries should solve this soon. Solid-state_lithium-ion_battery ). I am guessing that sometime in the next decade stations and electric cars will be setup to swap a charged battery for your current battery. With these things humans could ween off of fossil fuels in the next couple of decades.

Wind and solar (with better battery storage), damns, geothermal, and some nuclear, would be able to solve our current energy usage for a considerable amount of the future.

Actually a lot of Sanders supporters said that Trump was their second option because if Sanders didn't make it they wanted to shake up the whole system. A lot of people voted against Hillary rather than for Trump. Basically having a two party system and the electoral system in the US gave us Trump.

Actually most asteroids orbit the sun and pass by the earth's orbit on the way in and out. So if we found one on the way in that could hit us on the way out, we could do something about it. Or if we determine the orbit could allow it to hit us the next time it comes through then we could do something about it.

Ignoring this would make us no better than the dinosaurs.

Most (if not all of the real) news organizations did cite the fact that it was an unconfirmed report.

I just think people need to understand that they need to get their news from more than one source, with more than one viewpoint in those sources. Facebook should not be anyone's only method of getting news.

I am also a Type 1 diabetic and I am very pessimistic about this. The problem here is scientists have already come up with a few different ways to do this but there is still one major issue remaining that is not being addressed by this.

Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system destroying B-cells, and this will not prevent this from happening. So even if Type 1 diabetic's can get working islet cells, it would only last for a little while before our immune systems would destroy them once again. This is nice and it will make headlines, but it is only half of the cure that we need.

Of course if you just just judge the cost of course it would seem that science and engineering would be more expensive, but the problem is that this is not looking at the entire picture. Many science and engineering professors do research which ends up being beneficial and profitable to the University, I don't think most liberal arts professors have that ability.

And an advanced degree in science and engineering tends to be worth more outside academia than an advanced degree in liberal arts, so paying those professors more makes the most sense.

That is what the super fun netting is for!!!!

No no no. What else floats in water?

A duck!

If he weighs as much as a duck he must be guilty!
