When western countries moved their manufacturing to China and other developing countries they also shipped their pollution over there, which is one of the reasons it is so much cheaper. But we are all living on one single planet. That is why free trade agreements aren't really free, they should include western environmental standards as well as labor standards. Of course that will never happen since giant corporations are the ones that really write our laws. At the current rate we won't be leaving much resources for our grandchildren.
So, the takeaway for US AT&T customers is that they may potentially roll out LTE on a band that the Nexus 4 supports, but it hasn't yet?
I don't see why you're telling me to calm "the fuck" down, after I already said we should slow down the debate. Your swearing at me is unnecessary.

As far as production for export not happening for generations: well, I disagree and I think that's completely crazy. I only brought it up as an example that the people living there will not be jobless. I didn't intend on starting some giant export debate, as clearly nobody here has any real idea to what extent there will be exports from Mars within the next 30 years.

But yeah, keep insulting me, that'll help this discussion.

Edit: If I sounded offended, I partially am. The suggestion that I should stay on Earth because it's cheaper is perhaps the most offensive thing anyone's said to me in a while.

I checked the local Ausway map on street-directory.com.au and the phone booth that's on there is actually there, so based on a massive set of two data points and some intuitising in applying typical rates of intentional mistakes applicable to other data, like streets, it's probably only a few phone booths that are intentional mistakes.

One of the ITU's goals is "development", meaning rich countries/companies should subsidize Internet infrastructure deployment (actually corrupt PTTs) in developing countries. The phone network already works this way, but that gravy train is coming to an end.

Another goal is "diversity/localism", meaning each country should be able to impose its own values on the Internet (e.g. the great firewalls of China, Iran, Saudi Arabia). Since this already exists, it's not clear why regulations need to be changed to allow it.

Absolutely; and I keep mine still for doodles that become patent ideas (signed and dated), for taking cornell notes of meetings and phone calls, and that kind of thing. I prefer these though: http://www.leuchtturm1917.com/en/content/medium-notebook
(and the dotted paper is more useful than the squared). Tried moleskins, tried Paper Blanks, tried a few others, but the 1917s are the best I've found...

...but they've become my first draft, rather than my only notebook. It's just too easy to grab a chunk of an email or a graph's png or a code snippet and lob it into the vimwiki; and it's where I work up most of the stuff that goes into papers or patents.

could there be a case however against economic growth being too fast? an example of too fast would be building a chernobyl before the safety infrastructure was up.
Ah, feic. It's Cornell format notes - for some reason I keep calling it Cambridge, I don't know why. Google Cornell Note Taking System, and learn it; if you ever have to take notes at a conference, seminar, lecture, meeting, phone call or anything else where people are talking, it's the best method around.
Is it just me that's sick and tired of all these extreme all or nothing causes? It's either no patents or leave it the same, it's either capitalism is all bad or all good, it's either we are saving the planet or burning it as we go.

You know we can just change certain laws in the patent system to get it fixed right?

You understand that the idea of someone being able to sale their hard work for a living isn't evil right?

Or that maybe just making a true concerted effort of a smaller carbon footprint is enough? We don't need to ban all gas lines, or coal and replace it all with solar wind farms.

Consider this, we are fighting other people's ideals with equally extreme ideals and then wonder why the world doesn't see our brilliance. They think all of torrenting technology is evil because it allows for easier "unauthorized" access of someone else's creative content. It's a tool people. Capitalism isn't bad, overly greedy people are bad, and they just happen to love capitalism.

It's called moderation.

> Drivers are moving relatively close, many with insufficient following distance.

Another article by someone who doesn't understand the topic he's writing about.

A "safe" stopping distance is only meant to take into account typical human reaction times, in normal circumstances.

Let's say a car slams on its brakes. Normally the following car will have time to react to the first car's commencing a stop if the separation distance is sufficient. But this assumes that the first and second cars then slide across the pavement in the same way, with the same stopping distances, distances governed by this mathematical relationship to speed:

http://arachnoid.com/wrong/index.html#Auto_Safety_1

But if the first car crashes into a stationary object and stops abruptly, the second car will crash into it, and in that scenario, there is no safe stopping distance because the normal braking distance relationship doesn't apply.

This is why, to avoid this kind of car catastrophe, people absolutely, positively must pull over in fog or reduced visibility, not continue driving. And as usual, this fact, this requirement is not presented in the article.

What people don't know about their cars is astonishing. This is just one example. Read more here:

I'd be surprised if they did- why use more bands when you're doing OK with the ones you use now?

The possible win is when T-Mobile eventually rolls out LTE. They are likely to use Band 4... but AFAIK haven't announced when they're ever going to roll it out.

Very likely, it will be an underground world first. That will shield most of the radiation there.
The moment you add a keyword to a popular language, you break lots of existing code that happen to have that keyword as an identifier, e.g. as a variable, class or function. This means that when adding features that need a new keyword, you best overload an existing one.

It's for this reason, too, that Java 7 overloaded `try` to implement some sort of poor-man's-RAII-support, instead of adding a new keyword (such as C#'s `using`, which does the same, and was by the way also overloaded for the same reason)

Every time I visit a page with a little FB "Like" button on it, Facebook knows (via a cookie) what page I've visited. They track people even if they don't have accounts. It's not so easy to opt out of that. (I installed ShareMeNot for Firefox but it's not obvious that you can do that.)
I think your numbers are significantly off. A flight from NYC to London gives the passengers roughly a chest x-ray worth of exposure, meaning the pilots get 100-200 a year worth.

Settlements would likely involve radiation shielding - buildings underground, teleoperation, etc.

Radiation dangers on Mars missions are often exaggerated.

In Mars orbit, we have data that indicates approx. 22 milirads a day. It should be a fair bit less on the surface. That gives the colonists about 3 years of unshielded radiation exposure till they hit the radiation max that NASA recommends
(remember, they should be shielded somewhat though)

There is also a decent amount of recent evidence that chronic radiation exposure in this quantity is no where as near as dangerous as a concentrated burst.

> At the same time, they need to line the storage pool with a material that will block it from seeping into the groundwater. For centuries.

Not for thorium. The stuff is almost harmless, and is insoluble in water, so tends to just stay put.

Plus, even if you did have to isolate it, centuries would be nothing. It's has a half life of 14 billion years! Just bury it back in the ground and that's all - it's really not very radioactive. (Just deep enough that it won't be dug up by accident and that's all - you don't need to block the radioactivity, since even a piece of paper is enough shielding.)

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing since you are confusing cesium from nuclear reactors and thorium.
The End Of The Smartphone Era Is Coming
> Is it a basic civil right?

A very good question. The answer is that courts decide this sort of thing, and the notion of "civil rights" is a moving target over time.

But if her civil rights are violated, then the fact that she volunteers to be there instead of another school should not be allowed to interfere with the judgment.

How am I so sure? Well, as one example, African-Americans must be allowed to attend the school of their choice, and the argument that they have alternative schools is (in the eyes of the law) insufficient. The south famously argued that African-Americans had their own schools and shouldn't be arguing for admission to other schools. The Supreme Court disagreed.

> The school then gave her another option, which is to return to the school she is legally required to attend rather than the one she is choosing to attend. That seems more than reasonable to me.

Read the history of the U.S. Civil Rights movement, from beginning to end. Then ask yourself whether what you've just said is fair and reasonable.
It's too bad they tied the word "capitalism" to the specific, "short term gains at all cost" system we have now. I guess it's not too surprising really, since most people only think of Marxism when someone says "communism" etc. But of course it's possible to have a good, responsible and caring society without ditching capitalism.
I'm all for producing and exchanging goods, but with a deeper respect for nature and to the mutual benefit of all.

Most decisions being made about your water supply and the limited natural resources in your area do not include your input and are not for your benefit. That is the face of capitalism today.
Criticizing globalism and the externalities of "wanting the world economy to grow" is not an argument against increasing the standards of living worldwide, and I'm not sure why you're conflating the two.

I am not sure how shoddy engineering equates with too fast economic growth. That seems like defining your terms so generally that they can refer to almost anything.

I find it oddly humorous that the instructions tell you that you must use the Light theme, then the illustration of taking a screenshot shows a dark theme.
Your example is what I called wishful thinking. You haven't explained how it could work without authenticating to somebody's walled garden.

The original idea of some magical screen you walk up to with all of these abilities and none of the limitations of walled gardens is also wishful thinking; however it doesn't go so far as to claim it's an example of how to accomplish this.
I shop for groceries about once per month, to buy food in bulk then freeze bread, meat and veggies. I grow some veggies in the backyard during the summer. I'm not the healthiest eater, mostly I just hate shopping. This gives me 6 misc days to buy gifts for birthdays and things.

I feel sad that no comments got to the core - the unchanging corporate mentality of "man, here's some fertilizer, cement or whatever, dump it somewhere and you'll get bonus if it's fast".

This happens right now too, as you can see from the totally void answers of anyone from Lynas, and that's the main reason why they want to spend huge ammounts of money for shipping to Malaysia - it's still much cheaper than respecting the western environmental laws.
Even under barter and trade, there is profit. To go with the GP's example, one persona valued having his trees pruned more than he valued the time he spent upgrading the computer, and vice versa. Both parties profited and ended up better off or else they wouldn't have made the trade.

The lack of money involved just makes it potentially less efficient if the trade isn't well balanced, or potentially more efficient if they can avoid the friction of the taxman by avoiding money.
I like this, it's simple and easy to skim. I'd suggest adding date/time so the user knows when the article was published.

His point is that one of the main avenues for the poor to leave poverty is through capitalistic action. If you are arguing for the restriction of that behavior, you are arguing for the restriction of opportunities to leave behind poverty.

As pathetic as it is to see people camping out at Wal-mart to buy products they do not particularly need (indeed, many of them would be better off if they saved the money that they will spend today), one of the results of that behavior is additional economic opportunity for poor countries and poor people.

You could state a case that the net gain from this behavior makes it not worth having, as the social and environmental costs of using natural and human resources to produce unneeded products obfuscates the value of the resultant economic growth, but then you would need to present data and math.
That's not the point of the article. Read again.
> You entered into an agreement with this school district.

If it's a public school, the agreement cannot include anything that violates a student's civil rights. Under the equal access rules currently in force, the fact that a student chooses to attend a particular school is not a factor -- her civil rights must be protected no matter what choices she makes.
I wouldn't consider that growth, though.
Besides the points laid out below, homeschooling isn't merely teaching your children what you think they need to know. My experience has only bee with Michigan and Texas, but in those two places the government requires that homeschooled students report to approved testing facilities every so often for standardized testing to prove that the teacher is covering the materials that are mandated to be taught.

That is irrelevant to the point at hand - asking everyone to not buy things on one day, even if successful, merely postpones the retailers' revenues by a day or so.

I find it very hard to believe that materials that "have half-lives on the order of billions of years" produce enough radiation to be noticeable from the background radiation. That is exactly the kind of scaremongering that makes the reporting "emotive or otherwise sub-optimal".

"If you are arguing for the restriction of that behavior, you are arguing for the restriction of opportunities to leave behind poverty."

That doesn't follow. Laissez-faire capitalism does not necessarily lead to greater class mobility. The idea that one must abandon "restriction" of capitalism to offer the greatest benefit to any individual is ridiculous.

Indeed, the political resistance to welfare systems in the USA has always saddened me. It seems to me that at a certain point, a post-industrial first-world country has exactly two ways to continue its ascendance and raise the quality of life for its citizens: You can expand in an imperialist fashion (see: Britain in the 19th century, USA in the early 20th century, Germany in the late 1930's in dramatic fashion). Or you can become a welfare state (see: Germany post-WWII, Sweden, France).

The USA has a cultural heritage of expansionism. In the 1850's, losing everything was no biggie, you just moved to California and started digging. In the 1940's, losing everything was no biggie, you just joined the army and shipped out for the Philippines. But by the 1960's when imperialism more or less became untenable (see: the entirety of Africa), there were no more safety nets. America continued in its headstrong belief that no man needs charity, that hard work will provide opportunities for anyone who looks.

The rich always want to be richer. There's two things to do when a first-world country exhausts its own easily-exploitable resources: acquire more resources by force, or redistribute wealth. Otherwise the rich will exploit the only remaining source of wealth which is a country's middle-class.
