Yeah, you have millions of old books that nobody wants not even collectors. It's not just popular literature.

If you added a comma after the si, it would be a perfectly valid sentence too.

The lighter ones can be 25-30 lbs.

Simple, you just defragment the person into drone size pieces then reassemble.

There's no reason you couldn't have people grow a new Internet that isn't reliant on AWS and cloud flare and other big tech stuff, it's just that it's much easier to do that since it's already there. And you still have the problems with spammers even if you try to move away from capitalism.

FOSS doesn't work as well for everything. But for something like this privacy and not leaking data is more important if you're going to run it on your computer.

That just sounds like you don't want the majority of people to use it. You still only have 4% of desktop users on Linux.

One good reason is for the stealth function which their lower tier planes won't have. A small fleet would still be useful.

And that's been the statement people make every time for the last 15 years. But at a certain point there is only people that accept it and people who will never do so until they die.

Small scale tests have to be done slowly over time, and it's best to do that now at the very least so we have a good grasp of what won't work at scale so we didn't chase means that are less practical.

But the real point is that very few people commenting actually read the article. This was about marine cloud brightening, where they're only making clouds slightly brighter. It's the least offensive option possible that is technically a thing that everybody likes more anyway. People act like mr burns blocking the sun.

The only one that has any real risk is the iron fertilization concept because changing the limited ingredient in an ecosystem could possibly have an effect on the system.

At a certain point you have to ignore the " but someone will use it as an excuse" argument, that's been the response for decades. It can't mean that because someone could object you just have to do nothing ever.

Honestly it's more relevant to classify them by beak shape. Birds are 100% based on their beak shape, because that determines what they can and can't eat.

No you're correct, the co2 levels act slowly over time to increase temperatures so we haven't even got a tiny fraction of the total warming. The only way to deal with it is to go sharply carbon negative as soon as possible and use Geoengineering to actively cool the planet.
