India could produce 8x more CO2 and still have less per capita than the US

The number of humans is not the main factor in pollution, it's what those humans are consuming that is important.

More like a for profit arm ruled by an non profit head.

Then delete system32 folder?

What are these instructions actually doing?

Firing swords with a bow. Have I seen this in a parody film?

I've stayed in one in Osaka. You don't have access to clothes or belongings during your stay. It's a lot like staying on a space ship without the travel.

Replace the word "news" with "historical document" and OP is discussing how to conduct academic research.

there is no emissions free way to power a plane.

You can run it on biofuels. This is how Gates excuses his private jet, conveniently ignoring the possibility of combining biofuel AND comercial flights.

If it's mounted, what's the difference?

Proof of work need not be useless. E.g. https://primecoin.io/

The tricky bit is finding a problem that is hard to solve but easy to verify. I'm not sure AI tasks fall into that category.

The transaction verification is separate to the work.

The mirrors are the not the expensive part.

C = BxA

Move A underneath C and swap the equality

B = C/A

A lot of algebra is spatial manipulation.

it would be a bit like the adult version of Home Alone

Ah. So Skyfall then

A well timed poorlytimedgimmley can raise a chuckle though.

Today's kilt today was invented in the 1720s by the Englishman Thomas Rawlinson.

We're all out of cake.

Can we also declare war on collective nouns? I hate them all with a blaze of passion.

What are speed pants?

Oh. My mistake.

Current events are certainly worth following and Lemmy could be a great place to add comments, ask questions and find additional context. A bot to scrape a relevant subreddit if content is needed.

Complaining about bias is what I was addressing. You can get unbiased media. Al-jazeera is surprisingly good for world news.

Can I find out more about these rumors somewhere?

... Aww. Why did the story stop?

What? Rumors work by people discussing them.

I didn't ask for proof.

However NFTs were trying to assign value to the receipt for the Gretzky shirt.

Right click. Save as.

Also note that the ERC721 standard says nothing about royalties. Royaltiew weren't designed as a "key feature"

Royalties were not part of the original design.

In your example what happens if the shirt is sold to someone else? In the NFT case the signature changes.

The shirt analogy doesn't work well, but NFTs are great for transferable tickets.

Yes. The Oxford vaccine should have been open source. Gates money changed that.

Is this practical? How technically difficult is it? What are the hardware requirements?

Buy a second phone?

Move sensible to the top of the list. Aftertouch was genius game design.

Why don't we have black holes floating around our oceans?

On a kibbutz?

Qatar state owned. Yes. Expect bias for ME matters, but RoW it's mainly fact based.

Why would changing a password put you on a list?

Familiarity breeds attempt.

Yes. The Jannsen and Oxford vacancies.

However, vaccines using mRNA technology are VERY new.

Belief isn't needed.

MIT researchers have now developed a novel way to record a patient’s vaccination history: storing the data in a pattern of dye, invisible to the naked eye, that is delivered under the skin at the same time as the vaccine. https://news.mit.edu/2019/storing-vaccine-history-skin-1218

And Bill Gates talking about doing it in a reddit AMA.

Yes. It's possible, but they are not of interest to nuclear power states.

There are nuclear plants in operation today that do not use or create any fuel that is capable of being weaponized.

And they cost too much. Governments only fund weaponizeable fission.

In fact, coal plants admit much more radiation than a modern nuclear power plant.

Not in a way that can be concentrated and weaponized.
