OK so here's a question: Let's assume for the moment that this paper is 100% accurate in its assessment of the future of our climate, and let's further assume that the general public will continue to be apathetic for the time being. What's going to happen? Are we doomed because we won't be able to act on a large enough scale in time? Or will things change (quickly enough) once the average Joe starts 'feeling the heat'?

So basically we are screwed.

To save everyone time, what did you find?

Old growth forests are not suitable for building material. All of these wood panels came from plantations that are re-planted immediately after harvesting, often from places where there was no forest before.

Hey, if people can get something for free, they'll take it. I think you're talking to the wrong people here.

This was the only thing to really help my wrist pain. These days I use a regular old mouse and I don't experience any pain, and all it took was some weight training two or three times a week.

Maybe if Stephanie's site was lighter weight it'd still be up and running :P

Ripping everything apart is what HN is all about. Look at any random article on the front page and tell me I'm wrong.

Bitcoin is easy to convert to cash! I don't think anyone will actually donate bitcoin though.

Passive blocking is fine, active blocking or interference is not.

It's only easier if you already have some Bitcoin to use. Converting money to Bitcoin takes more time and effort than just using your credit card on Paypal.

Anonymous cash on the internet. Nobody knows who owns each bitcoin account so you can do all sorts of things you could not otherwise. It's very similar to (for example) Pecunix, although unlike Pecunix it's not backed by gold and it's distributed which makes it hard to take down. Anything black or greymarket is suitable for bitcoin.

100% legitimate uses? Well you could use it instead of Paypal and save a couple of bucks in fees but it's a lot harder than just using Paypal and there's no recourse if something goes wrong.

Facebook won't make that mistake.

What about ad-supported news, is that sustainable?

Any launch you can walk away from!

Wow! I'd have to buy a stack of these so I can demo it to my friends every now and then.

I just use email

I'm not convinced anyone really WANTS to sell their time in such small intervals.

So are you going to fire the offender or what exactly are you doing to prevent this happening again?

If they do a good job and gain enough respect and trust this could be big. I'm not sure it will actually go anywhere but maybe.

We are Boltzman brains, no?

Nothing that has all the ports / features of the Pi, no.

I'm surprised that Parker has a bigger share than Thiel.

Yet somehow it just works. Why waste your time on idiomatic CSS when good old tables work just fine?

How will this new law fix the problem though? I don't see it.

The intent is to use the material in orbit. It costs loads of money to send stuff to orbit (e.g. for the ISS) and this could be cheaper, especially for bulky stuff.

Bringing it all the way back to the surface is not worth the energy required.

He meant the seized servers

Sold!

> PHP is not "tray full of old rusty instruments".

Clearly that's a matter of opinion.
