Thanks, this was a really well-thought-out post.
ntelson1s··on El Niño-like weather increases California precipitation in response to warming
On a planet with a surface ~3/4 covered in water, I've always just assumed since I was young that hotter weather would just mean more intense water cycles. Anywhere not landlocked on the wrong side of a watershed could stand to benefit from the extra humidity. Hopefully California can actually make use of this. There was recent rainfall the past couple years, but they have a long way to come in terms of infrastructure and also dealing with their eco laws at arms with building more reservoirs and other means of avoiding the fluctuating seasons of dry and wet.

It reminded me constantly of John Steinbeck on the drought cycle in the Salinas Valley, “During the dry years, the people forgot about the rich years, and when the wet years returned, they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.”

For anyone who hasn't, I highly recommend checking out the drone footage of the Oroville dam. The scale of destruction was massive, and rumor has it even sparked a tiny gold rush after so much bedrock and sediment was churned up.

Get your facts outta here. Can't you see people are trying to force a perceived threat based on their feelings here?

>This is the most mind-bendingly deluded post I've seen on HN in a while.

Then you should check out your own before you decide to act high and mighty.

It's all of the freedom flowing through you like a Saiyan.

Check out Exegesis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exegesis_of_Philip_K._Dick Pretty far out there though. He sort of went insane.
ntelson1s··on CIA malware and hacking tools
Or someone is seeking to force a narrative but can't quite decide how to do that while actually making sense and not backpedaling on accusations.

I need more upvotes for this.
ntelson1s··on How is news marked as disputed on Facebook?
He goes on to say get as close as you can to the truth by dissecting the raw data for yourself. It's one more sentence, read it buddy. You can do it.
ntelson1s··on How is news marked as disputed on Facebook?
Only if the status quo you are referring to is the political, which was the same as TPTB, and not the social. This country did not want more of the old administration and took option B.
ntelson1s··on Images and video showing extent of Oroville dam damage
We're about to see a new piece of ice cleave off about the size of Delaware in Antartica. As ridiculous as that is, I think the most worrisome part is that it will further destabilize the ice shelf and the rate of it falling apart is only supposed to increase by this.
ntelson1s··on Uber is doomed
Ignorance does seem to be the willful plight of the further-leaning left at the moment, so I have to somewhat agree with him. But I get your point.

Just speculation here, but last I looked into it, video cards were worthless when it comes to ROI compared to the specialized mining hardware used nowadays, which is continuing to advance.

Ahh that's a bummer.
ntelson1s··on US billionaire helped to back Brexit
Debatable. Take these sites with grains of salt, but leave with the idea that the results of each in combination taken with salt still skew the results ALOT.

Potentially millions of Illegals voted. (potentially) http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/trump-is-right-...

Here's one illegal that voted FIVE times. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Trial-Begins-in-Alleged-Ill...

AND the DHS supposedly under Obama administration tried to hack electronic voting polls for six states. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-08/georgia-accuses-hom...

EDIT: I only said supposedly on the third because SIX is the supposed number, but the Georgia one DID happen.

ntelson1s··on Americans Renouncing Citizenship at Record High
Seems like a risky trade to take just for money's sake considering the immigration policies currently at play.

And this reeks of an unaccepting worldview to have of others.
ntelson1s··on Trump threatens to cut UC Berkeley funds over Milo cancellation
Antifascists acting like fascists only enabling their perceived threat of fascism even further... If it's a nonsensical fight these people are looking for, they seem to be inching towards bringing it to fruition regardless of who's right or wrong. Reminds me of the same mentality behind these progressives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHhy2Gk_xik

Just like all of these heated political posts today and lately, yes, it does ignore reality.

Take this nonsense to Reddit instead.

Well said. I wish others would stop typing the same things over and over to read some informed comments such as this instead.
