This is just molten salt reactors all over again. They have disastrous security problems. Basically the salt eats away metal parts of the reactor, the graphite moderators are flammable and large parts of the reactor become radioactive becau

In this case it's really easy. Nuclear fission is 1) not a solution. Uranium is finite and breeders don't work reliably due to fundamental design problems. 2) outrageously dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years 3) more expen

There are no working reactors (not even tested designs) that harness the potential of thorium. Experimental plants have had serious problems (edit:)and low power generation from thorium (see for example THTR-300 in germany; beware of the

You are correct that this is a complex problem. Nobody suggests 1) moving to 50/50 PV/Wind 2) immeadiately. It needs to be a very diverse Mix that slowly and steadily grows, making it unlikely to hit your 1% case and giving us ti

RTFA. PV and Wind are cheaper than nuclear. So you can have what you want (no more people dying from coal pollution) without the immense risks of nuclear (The article makes very weak point about these being irrelevant. They are not.)

And all the issues with fracking.

1) Cryonics is mostly a pseudoscientific money making scheme. "In theory it could work" (maybe) if we get around a lot of huge hurdles. Calling it the best idea we have is just an opinion. 2) Explain to me what a frozen mind i

But I am worth every penny and there is no cheaper alternative offering the same degree of satisfaction.

This is not a throwaway account, I just lack creativity at inventing usernames. It's amazing how you can tell that I am "threatened", "unsettled" and "struggling" with "navigating the adult world&quot

And from then on, are we going to keep people from having children or are we going to let massive overpopulation happen? Where to recover the stored minds to? That said, in my oppinion a big part of what makes life worthwhile IS that it is

Yeah... my grandfather told me these kind of lawsuits were the reason all producers of swings and hammocks went out of business long ago. Gotta miss the old days.

The article fails to mention how much product is in the bag you get (weight) and it's kcal/day ratio. The bag looks really small in the picture... Also, think about how much you will hate the flavor after a while. Anyone who ever

So it's basically a pricey bag of sugar, protein shake and mineral drink.

Exactly. Filtering out this pre-known email is even trivial. And in a world where AIs write stories ( http://narrativescience.com ) I'm pretty sure the nsa does a lot more than filtering for keywords.

while i find some of the comments are very objectionable, these kind of militant anti men pseudo-feminists like femfreq who do not want equal rights but oppression of men get on my nerves a lot too.

i think these guys are seriously underestimating the computing power the nsa has accumulated.
