The thing is... there have been plenty of outspoken and highly visible survivors of school shootings for decades. How the hell do we exorcise this gray paste of untruth?

In English, "IA" is usually understood to mean "Internet Archive." Only "AI" means "Artificial Intelligence."

A cooling tower (or any kind of evaporative cooling) will turn the nuclear power plant into a major water consumer, while an artificial cooling pond carries the geographic requirement for lots of open space.

Also with nuclear plants increasingly having to shut down due to cooling problems caused by high outdoor temperatures, it seems that global warming might make nuclear even more dependent on having the right local geography than renewables.

Well, if each book has its own docker container...

Hmm. Yeah. You're right. Editorializing by Slashdot commenter fuzzyfuzzyfungus, then!

You're not wrong, but first we must all take two minutes out of our days to laugh at the misfortune of political canvassers, whose methods should be illegal.

No primary source suggests that the effect would be partisan—that's editorializing by Daring Fireball writer John Gruber. The GOP letter, which is somewhat internal to the RNC fundraising effort, simply provides an estimate of their own lost revenue.

If you're an unknown sender, you go into the bin. Simple as.

This. The idea that a lack of constant compounding growth is a bad thing comes from capitalists who want to be able to turn their money into more money without doing any work. To do that they need growth. If you work for a living rather than owning for a living, you have no need for infinite growth in a finite world.

Disabling this power-up pad for hurricanes whenever it becomes a danger could be an ideal job for marine artificial upwelling, we'd just need to be careful not to run it more than necessary because it generally worsens global warming in the long term:

Plus in most jurisdictions (especially China and more recently the US) it's quite easy for governments to get access to corporate data for "security" purposes. So any data corporate surveillance collects, government can get access to as well. Often just for a small fee, no ominous security laws required.

A lot of people don't realize this. Gun nuts in the US get bent out of shape about the idea of a gun registry, all while you can be pretty sure the NSA already has something similar based on data from buyer transactions with corporations.

Also for most everyday users, DNS-over-HTTPS band-aids a lot of the problems DNSSEC could fix.

For what it's worth, simply painting a normal gun to look like a toy has been attempted before, too. But I agree that conversions like this must be pretty spooky if you're in law enforcement. Still, toy gun form factors needn't be the only gimmick; consider the chaos a briefcase gun could unleash without scrutiny. The sky is the limit for designing concealed weapons if one is sufficiently imaginative and determined.

I think you're already plenty concerning just on your own!

Yeah his political views were pretty fashy all-around.
