<p>You are going to have to cite more for those claims. Steve Jobs was born in San Francisco.   He is as Syrian as Trump is.<p>This is as biased an Anti-US take as any.  Will not grace the rest of the claims with a response.</p>

<p>Just curious, what are you doing for healthcare.  I can retire money wise soon, but healthcare is an issue.  May have to work 10 more years just because of that.</p>

<p>My Dr explained to me that proper sleep is important for the body to "reset" chemical balances and metabolism. It is still calories in vs out, but you are more likely to store the calories than burn them due to the "metabolic system" being out of whack due to poor sleep.</p>

<p>You are part of the PJM.  Read into what the "Fuel Adjustment" actually is.  Yes, prices are regulated, but if your area is short of power, they can buy it from the PJM, usually from other sources they own, at "market" rate not regulated rate.<p>The Fuel Adjustment is the legal loophole difference in the regulated rate vs the market rate.  A few scheduled maintenance windows and oh look, we are short power.</p>

<p>I am one to follow the science, but this seems a little like overreach.<p>"Meta said it was reviewing the groups WIRED flagged and would remove any it determines violate".<p>Is it the job of the reporter to flag groups covered in the story?   Seems like a little bit of inserting itself into the news.   Report and move on.</p>

<p>Agree.   The First Amendment, which I totally will fight for, comes with good and bad doesn't it.  I personally feel (means a lot doesn't it :) that there should be a way to punish "commercial press" for spreading misinfo, but I also see the slippery slope come into play.<p>It has its warts, but the first amendment needs to be protected.</p>

<p>sorry, you are missing the point on the first one.   I gave my opinion on what is affecting the situation.   I <i>used</i> simple examples that did not apply to me.  Sorry.<p>As for solutions?   What about ramifications for any media that cannot backup what it says?   What about people being held responsible for what they spread?</p>

<p>Dude, I agree!  You are missing the point.  I know it was a fringe theory.   But that is my point.   We are talking about losing faith in experts here.  Not my beliefs.  "Experts" and I use that term loosely, predicted a global cooling.  It was not all of them, but when a few cry wolf and the press run with it, then people start dis-trusting "experts" even those that could be correct.<p>You keep harping on my beliefs, but I have not stated them.  I did not believe in an ice age, and I have already stated that I believe in climate change.  Why do you keep trying to talk about what I personally believe when you dont even know what they are?<p>When have I hurt you in the past?  Go back to the article on what it is about.  I am only trying to add to the discussion on what could be a cause.</p>

<p>Wasn't duped then, not duped now.  All I am saying is that I heard people talk about it.   You even agree, right?  or you would not have said that there was not consensus.   That means you at least heard it.   Lots of people did and now they trust less because of it.<p>No where in my statement did I say that I agreed with anything, just that constant "false predictions" causes people to quit listening.<p>But as you have proved, reading comprehension can be a big part as well.</p>

<p>This telescope takes a complete picture of the sky every three days.   This is half of the key part.  The second half is that they have developed storage and software to compare each photo automatically to flag what has moved every three days.   Primarily planets and asteroids would move, everything else would not.<p>Alerts are sent when a moving object is found for further study by humans.</p>

<p>"A climate scientist knows best", lets talk about this one as it is a perfect example of lost trust.   It is not corruption that destroys the message, but constantly being incorrect.<p>Just a warning, I may agree with them overall, but they are constantly getting the numbers wrong.   We have been 3 years away from the point of no return for the last 20 years.   I am old enough to remember the "ice age" that we were going to enter.   There are a ton of video clips showing Al Gore predicting things that never came to past.<p>I read the science and I agree that climate is changing, but to the layperson, they have been saying wrong things for years now and they are tired of hearing them "cry wolf".  The moral of the "cry wolf" story is that the falsehoods are what causes people not to be prepared.   It is not helping the cause.</p>

<p>I understand what you are saying, but not what I am getting at.   If you were a developer and had a choice between a "one-time fee" with Apple taking 30% vs "free to download" but redirect to an outside payment system, which one would you chose?<p>I am worried that now game companies are incentivized to abandon "initial purchase" games/apps and go the "loot-box, subscription" route.<p>Is this the final nail in the pay one time for games coffin?</p>

<p>The way I understand the graph is that is not the "number" of circles, but the area (money) that they consume.   So those three bank failures are taking up the same space as all those other failures from 2008.<p>It is the total volume of money involved vs the count.   The height of both stacks show just how much damage three did vs all the others in the left hand stack.</p>
