Do you think it'll be possible to reverse engineer the phenotypes of an organism to derive functionally similar genetic code? (i.e., take our knowledge of T-rex, and figure out what kind of genetic code it'd take to recreate it.)

boxocereal
: Just take the DNA from the fossilized poop ...lol
Smart Fortwo cdi - gets 83 mpg. Legal in Europe which has tighter safety standards than the US, totally illegal in the USA. Doesn't burn enough gas to satisfy the oil industry's appetite.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Probably.
USA - capitalism is good. Sure, but... it's not really Laissez-Faire capitalism in the USA, it's more like Crony Capitalism, with collusion between the gov and the 1%. High MPG cars are illegal in the USA, Student debtors are debted for life,etc.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Yeps.
Wondering where your gas money is going with the high gas prices? Don't need to look any further than the Oil Conglomerates. Koch's wealth went from 12 bil to 44 bil in just 4 years! Gotta love oligopolistic oil barons in the USA, ruled by thieves!
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: LOL! Loving the word conglomerates.
(USA is stupid, because they legally *block* pretty much everything that gets TOO HIGH of a gas mileage. Stupid collusion of the oil industry and the states with their gas tax, robbing America blind.)
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: That doesn't surprise me.
I'm willing to look upto 500 miles for this high MPG rental car from where I live, which makes the total aggregate population at about 15-million people. Vancouver, Canada is within reach, if they got european cars the STUPID USA doesn't have.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Oh piss.
What's the highest MPG car in the USA that's not incredibly rare? (So that I could find it if I searched well enough at rental places, even the shared-rental sites like Relay Rides) I'm looking for something like >50 mpg on the highway.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: A scooter lol..
I accidentally sprayed myself with pepper spray and my $300 electric bike battery was stolen. Please tell me this was a character-building experience? Don't want to think it was all for nothing!
(2 answers)
boxocereal

GageAlainLonnagan
: I'd blame it on iBoy2G and his lack of tattoos !
What's the longest distance you've ever bicycled? (Me, 31 miles, today. I'm getting ready for a 90 mile tour.)
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: The last time I was on a bicycle, I was about 5 and it was actually a tricycle. I'm not into biking at all.
Nevermind, it wasn't neglect. We didn't have eggs, and they forgot to get some. Meh. (We have to make our own cakes, as we can't eat cakes with flour in it.)

I want a birthday cake. v_v
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: What kind?
Do you know what causes inflation? (Hint: lending. Due to fractional reserve banking, everytime a lender lends out money, he/she expands the money supply causing inflation. Everytime someone pays on their loan, they're effectively shrinking it.)
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Looks like no more lending then. =)
Do you want inflation or deflation? (Moi, I want inflation more than deflation. I want my debts to relatively shrink and my income to relatively grow. I don't want the opposite! O_O)
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: I just want **** to stay the same price but my income increasing. =)
Did you know could slow down the moon by harvesting energy from wave power?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Coooool.
Can you imagine what kind of energy we could harvest if we lasso'd the moon and converted some of its kinetic energy to electric? Would that be a good idea, if possible and, assuming it produced a lot of net energy?
(2 answers)
hayliehalze666
: and then mess up the gravitational pull and die? yup good idea
boxocereal
: What do mean lasso? Bring it down to earth then? lol...
If North Korea takes the world hostage, who's going to pay the ransom?

boxocereal
: No one!
Those who see furthest into the future, tend to see the furthest into the past. Why is that?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Because they like to see the furthest.
How long do you think it'll take society to learn of the longterm dangers of GMO?
(2 answers)
hayliehalze666
: monsanto
boxocereal
: I'm sure it won't be long.
It seems it takes humanity about 30 years to learn about the longterm dangers of a new technology. Nuclear in the 40s, learned about its carcinogenity in the 50s & 60s. Drugs in the 80s, find about its longterm risks in the 2000s.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Yep.
Why did we need representatives, anyway? It was impractical to get the vote of everyone back when the government was formed. However, voting and being informed is easier than ever with the internet. Who thinks US's government needs to update to v2.0?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Oh yesh.
The problems of the US's representative form of government: too much political power is wielded by the few, easily corrupted by big-money. Solution: Direct democracy. The PEOPLE decide on issues, not the corrupted few. The internet makes it possible.
(3 answers)
AnkitKapoor3
: there will be no responsiblity or vision..if someone comeup of referal on elimination of taxes..everyone will vote for it :D
iBoy2G
: Very true. We allow the corrupt Rethuglicans to control everything, then wonder why we don't even have healthcare for everyone.
boxocereal
: =D
Why isn't Civilization 4 more realistic? They don't have a 'Capital flight in the real estate market, economy crashes, feds print too much money, nonstop inflation, jobless people rebel, government quells rebellion with armed drones' scenario. ;(

boxocereal
: Hahah what is that a video game?
Ron Paul thinks that Ben Bernanke is a puppet for the district of criminals. You think he might be onto something?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Probably.
Y'know what's interesting? Yahoo will let you blame Bernanke in the comments, but not the big banks. Something tells me he's just the puppet...
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Who is Bernanke?
Why do you think they're telling a misleading tale? Don't tell me it's because the fed is a bunch of thieving bankers. That can't be true - Big Banks have the US's best interests at heart, honestly. lol.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: =D
http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/money-supply-m2 - Don't you think it's funny how the fed suggests the inflation rate is 0% when it's actually around 10-15%? (M2 money supply - the total US money supply, including loan money.)
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: They want to make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
The cash money supply was 800 billion in 2008, and thanks to QE, is around 2.8 trillion and is currently increasing 1.3 trillion per year. Big bank FED theft = everyone else's inflation. Love the powers that be, right?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Love it.
Why is yahoo protecting the big bankers by censoring comments? Mentioning anything about what the FED is doing that makes the big bankers look as bad as they really are and, *boom*, comment gets deleted.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Well, that's no surprise.
Natural gas is going to be increasingly used for industry (to offset oil consumption), but it's also directly used for food production (fertilizers). How do you think that's going to affect the longterm food supply?
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: increased price of one or the other
boxocereal
: Heaven forbid there's a little less food for the fat ****s.
You know, we're using evolutionary techniques to cultivate the highest oil-yielding algae. Is "The Planner" using evolution (in nature) to cultivate something of its own? If so, what would it be trying to cultivate? Is it experimenting?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: We may never know.
Maybe the entire universe is a set of infinitely recursive quantum computers embedded within each other like Matryoshka dolls, all existing in an ultimately infinite quantum computing subtrate? (Or, just, very very large...)
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: Occam's razor suggests otherwise
boxocereal
: Are you bored?
If there was a planner, what would be its ultimate plan? Would it that the first sentient species would create its own subuniverses via quantum supercomputers and they would then become the "planners" of those subworlds? And,then, infinite
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: why would anybody want to create their own sub universe? it's hard enough to make a universal remote control work.
boxocereal
: I'm lost.
If there was such a "planner", what do think is its nature? (Or, are humans just so incredibly lucky to have all these existential goldilocks conditions because we are just *so* lucky...)
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: what do you mean goldilocks conditions?
boxocereal
: What do you mean by "planner"?
It's almost as if someone or something *planned* it to happen like this. Give the first sentient beings(humans) enough energy to jumpstart the state of technology so they can control their environment to their benefit. Isn't that fascinating?
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: http://www.reddit.com/r/Existentialism go there. enjoy
boxocereal
: Oh yesh.
Wouldn't that be a wonderful human accomplishment? Taking advantage of the solar energy preserved in fossils via fossil fuel and by returning carbon to the air, humanity eliminated ice ages and jumpstarted the *next* era of civilization.
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: we do take advantage of the solar energy derivatives by burning the fuel and as a result we return the carbon to the air, as CO2 and CO, the latter part is the problem in that it will push forward global warming and the next "ice age" as they are linked to one another.
boxocereal
: Hmm..
Oxygen levels during the Jurassic period were 1.3 times higher than today. Hmmm... how can we increase oxygen levels as we burn more fossil fuels? Or, wait, would the increase in plant life in a high CO2 atmosphere gradually increase oxygen levels?
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: why would we want to increase O2 levels save for in dead zones of the water?
boxocereal
: HAH! Like there's gonna be an increase in plant life, just an increase in housing, buildings and parking lots.
How do you think asteroids made dinosaur life extinct? Do you think there was a huge blast that wiped out the world, or you thinking more along the lines of a soot-induced ice age that followed? Or something else?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Interesting...hard to say.
Remember how abundant LIFE was during the Jurassic era when carbon dioxide levels were a bit higher than today? Earth can have that again if only we continue returning the fossil's back to the air. (Okay, maybe not 100%, but one can get closer...)
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: if CO2 and O2 were higher was there just less nitrogen floating around? And no, Earth can't have that again because there's not enough space for all those plants. Too many people and buildings.
boxocereal
: Yesh.
AND, ice ages are thought to limit food production, so why is everyone acting pessimistic about global warming? This might actually be the BEST longterm trend for humanity.
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: please look up the link between global warming and the ice age
boxocereal
: We are too fat anyway, less food would be a good thing.
You know, our planet's been getting cooler over the last few billion years because of life acting like an ongoing carbon sink. If we don't start returning some of that fossil fuel back to the air(Coal, oil, gas), we'll have more ice ages.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: What's all this talk about earth warming up?
You know what, if we continue burning all the hydrocarbon based fuel we can find (gas, oil, coal, etc.) and chop down all the forests, we might be able to return to the temperature average of the Jurassic era! Who's with me?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Nah.
Do you think chopping down the Amazon rainforest would save us from the next ice age? (Remove a huge carbon sink->More carbon in the air->Warmer atmosphere. Venus proves this concept.)
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Humanity is ruining this planet, maybe we shouldn't be saved.
Do you think global warming is going to save humanity from the impending ice age?
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: that's not how it works. Global warming-->melting of the ice caps-->dilution of salt water in North Atlantic--> cessation of Gulf Stream-->warm air and water from Caribbean doesn't get to Europe-->Ice age. Global warming leads to the ice age as paradoxical as that sounds.
boxocereal
: Doubt it.
However, assuming a civilization couldn't tap some energy reserve to replace manual labor, it's quite possible that "solar energy" and its derivatives (Wind power) could *eventually* enable some level of industrialization... hmmm...
(3 answers)
zippy1357
: i don't think so, that stuff is really expensive to build and comes with restraints on how far you can transmit the energy. I don't know that it's ready/cheap enough for massive introduction, at least here in the states. Some places in Europe however privatized individual wind turbines to towns/citizens and as a result they sold their own energy, kind of neat.
springbreaker
: Wind energy did in Holland to power the sump pumps to reclaim marsh land, and in North America to run grist mills and later Hydro-electric power, but solar power depends on other technologies to create the photo-voltaic cells and batteries
boxocereal
: There's enough wind in ****ing North Dakota all day every day to power every house in the US...good god.
Do you think industrialization is an inevitable step in a civilization's progress? (Me, not a longshot. Industrialization as we know it was largely enabled by coal and oil. W/o sufficient tappable energy reserves, a society won't industrialize.)
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: go to Ethiopia and ask them if they think industrialization is inevitable
boxocereal
: I think we are pretty much screwed without oil, unless we figure out a different energy source.
So, you an advanced monkey with low social status? This here documentary is telling me you got higher stress levels cause of it, & you're going to have more illnesses and die sooner. Don't you love how nature designed its organisms?
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: chronic elevated stress will lead to illness even if you're not a monkey
boxocereal
: Dying young is ideal anyway.
Have you ever gone electric dirt biking? (Lithium+rare-earth-magnet motors = awesome combo. My 50lb scooter has the equivalent power-to-weight ratio of a 125cc trail bike and torque to match.)
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Sounds like a fat ass way of biking, no pedaling required?
Why is ancient history and the untold tales of long ago soooooo fascinating?
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: it makes the idea of sledding down the side of a pyramid that much more alluring
boxocereal
: Because we didn't live it and we want to know what it was like back then.
Who wants to bet the 'Great Flood' stories that were common to ancient cultures near the mediterranean sea (greece, egypt, mesopatamia) really was the melting of the glacier ice, and the subsequent 320 ft. sea level increase around 10,000 BC?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Probably.
Who supports an underwater excavation of the littoral parts of the mediterranean sea to uncover ancient ice-age coastal cities that existed before 10,000 BC? Wouldn't the discoveries be absolutely worth it?!!!
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: don't care, could offer the jobs to the Italians and the Greeks who are citizens though.
boxocereal
: I don't care.
My dad's getting ripped off on ebay, I'm getting ripped off on ebay (We both bought from "reputable ebayers"), there's bums living in my local forest recently... is the US's recession starting to show its true colors?
(4 answers)
zippy1357
: lol, i've gotten shafted on ebay too. sometimes (most of the time) it's bad when it happens but sometimes it's good. i went through 4 mistaken/rip off ipods bought from ebay but the final one was a good mistake; ordered a black, 8G, 5th generation. Got a pink 16G, 5th generation. Now i have twice as much space and something to go with the pretty ribbon i wear in my hair every day : P
springbreaker
: why don't you use the eBay/PayPal escrow services, where the buyer doesn't get paid until you clear the shipment as exactly what you paid for?
Catrocks

boxocereal
: Nah, there will always be that bullpiss no matter how good or bad the economy is.
Fear and greed sells way better than any other emotion(s), in my opinion. Got any good "greed and fear" product ideas?

LygophilicSpirit
: Tell people they're full of **** (literally) and that the only way they can get their **** out is buying your nutritional supplement. Just be careful with the wording you use so the FDA won't bust your ass :P

Remember, some autism spectrum disorders are highly heritable, so it is definitely genetically determined. That is, it's not an 'accidental subpopulation' - it's a natural subpopulation, which Einstein, Isaac Newton and Bill Gates come from.
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Oh yesh.
Consider it from an evolutionary perspective -- What if the autistic and neurotypical subpopulations are two different subpopulations at INSTINCTUAL odds w/ each other? And NTs just happen to outnumber the auties due to group advantages?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Fascinating..
What's with mass murders, autism and young men? (The profile fits virginia tech, columbine, elementary school children and norweigan massacre. Btw, autism in some form affects 2-3% of men, so it's fairly common.)
(5 answers)
zippy1357
: if it's common in men then it would be common in mass murders conducted by men. I don't think Kaczynski was autistic though, his mother thought about entering him in a study for it because he was socially inept as a kid but i don't think anything came of it. He strongly fought a plea bargain based on declaring himself insane and Breivik did the same thing. There are studies that look for these kinds of links, I've never heard of one connecting autism and i would be blown away to hear of a P value less than 100,000. Clinical psychopathy is different though and there is a link between that and violent behavior, even though to my limited knowledge no mass murders have been diagnosed with it. I could be wrong though.
springbreaker
: As David Letterman (aka Late Night with Dave) mentioned the other day, there have been 70 of these types of killings on gs/hs/college/univ campuses in the last 20yrs, so i doubt that its autism, aspergers or lead in the water... it's just anger and easy access to guns
happy_B0bbles
: I'm not sue if there is a connection between Austism itself and mass-murders. Being autistic doesn't make a person a pyschopath, as they can still feel remorse.
boxocereal
: Lovely.
LygophilicSpirit
: Maybe autistic people are more likely to be psychopaths as well. Remember the unabomber? Fits the profile perfectly as well. Bright, autistic, psychopathic.
What is cancer? (It is the cellular manifestation of gluttony, gorging itself on the body's nutrients until destroying the host and, subsequently, itself. One of the seven deadly sins.)
(2 answers)
happy_B0bbles
: I don't know if you've heard of the china study ? Cancer is related to bad diet, deficiencies and toxic overload. We make ourselves sick, really.
boxocereal
: Oh yesh.
(Me, I ditched the airport and started walking around the local area. Seeing all the abandoned, forgotten and largely unused buildings telling of times long past in Atlanta was pretty fascinating.)

Macroevolution - seems hard to imagine it'd cause a human to descend from a monkey. But, is it hard to imagine changes that accumulate over time, especially when there's large environmental changes? There's certainly enough diversity.
(3 answers)
UnknoWnMisfit01
: What boxocereal said.
boxocereal
: I agree with the answer below.
zippy1357
: humans and chimpanzees have between 98% and 99% the exact same genetic code. Give it 6 million years and i think even if a toddler was picking random alleles you could wind up the way we are now. the evidence in favor of evolution is overwhelming. the evidence for the alternative is......not.

The FED is 'helping' the labor market by printing & giving banks $40,000,000 a year (i.e., QE3 = 'buying mortgage bonds' = print money and give it to 'em). Does that smell like BS or what? That's $400,000 for every new job added every month.
(3 answers)
zippy1357
: let em fail. the stimulus shoved money down their throats and it didn't make them shape up their lending practices. we need cheap loans for people that can pay them back.

I'm good at math and finances, but it seems like life would be so much better if nothing 'fun' had a price. Like, say, you get a budget of 'You can do 50 fun things' and you pick what you want... no need to involve balancing needs and obligations.

Also, I'll blame google for the doldrums of the modern internet. If it weren't for their "quality algorithms" favoring the editorial kinds of articles from newspaper-esque sources, the "interesting stuff" would be much more common

It's official, I hate facebook. Most of the creative energy that proliferated on the internet in the early 2000s is now channeled through the private neighborhoods at facebook, making the internet nowadays a much more boring place.

The ancient greek political cycle was democracy -> plutocracy -> anarchy -> democracy -> and so on. Where do you think the USA is in the political cycle? (I think we're probably in the near-middle of the plutocratic stage.)

boxocereal
: The owl stage.
Is it hard to believe the US money system is rigged by the banks? Is it easier to believe that it's controlled by someone who always has the American public's best interests in mind?
(1 answers)
boxocereal
: Perhaps it's controlled by owls.
The US money system is rigged for the 'point 1%' - the banks control the federal reserve which controls the money supply and causes inflation to their benefit. My IQ is 145 and I've researched it, so I know what I'm talking about. What do u think?
(2 answers)
LygophilicSpirit
: Well, obviously the banks won't do stuff that's against their interests. Maybe there should exist a state-controlled entity that keeps the banks and big companies from being bad boys. Or is there one already? :P
boxocereal
: I wouldn't be surprised.

Have you noticed girls taking over all the minimum wage service jobs? The local mcDonalds - ALL 20-something females. The local library, same thing. Why is that? (The unemployment rate in my city is around 11%)

: Yep, 20 somethings and Mexicans. Hey, it's a joke, it's a joke! I'm not PC, so kill me.
springbreaker
: 1/ a lot of young men won't work for minimum wage, they think they are worth than that - they'd rather sponge off their parents/gf's than work for minimum, esp after taxes and FICA; 2/ most young men feel that mcd's/fast food/service work is beneath them 3/ most young men are not good at taking directions from others, listening to customers etc., and 4/ 11% is a pretty low unemployment rate for your area, is that an over-all rate, or is the under 25/30 rate more like 25%?
boxocereal
: It's probably just a coincidence.

Is oil price high because of world demand outstripping supply or because speculative money is pushing up the price, which is so high it's ruining first-world economies?
(3 answers)
zippy1357
: both depending on the time. prices spiked a bit when iran was threatening the gulf of hormuz, or however you spell that, but peak oil is approaching quickly and on top of that developing nations are quickly increasing their demand (india, china, brazil) and are creating new large scale demands for a more or less unchanged supply. i think that the latter is the accent on the former.
boxocereal

Interestingly, The Fed is a hybrid of the government & banks, so I guess that's kind of predictable. Do you think that sounds predictable they'd benefit themselves at the expense of American savers?
(3 answers)
zippy1357
: meh. i don't think it works that way. if the fed just wanted to make money they'd hike interest rates almost regardless of the state of the economy. it's purpose is to regulate the economy in a healthy way, whether they do a good or bad job of that is up to debate, but with interest rates as low as they are now it's hard to make the case that they are trying to benefit themselves over the general population. besides, what does "benefit themselves" really mean?

The Fed's quantitative easing also benefited the big banks as they gave the banks free money, essentially, & causing the stock market to rise. So, essentially, gov & banks win & ppl w/ savings lose. Does that sound fair?

Quantitative easing's inflation really is benefiting the government. National Debt is 'smaller', Social security and military & gov expenditures & pensions 'shrink'; Debt gets easier to pay & its CPI-adjusted expenses shrink. So, u think its good?

Why do think the USA has evolved beyond resource economy into a service economy? (Me, I think that's because human inputs aren't the limiting factor in production of resources, ANYMORE - energy & technology inputs are. So, humans have to serve.)
(2 answers)
zippy1357
: higher returns on service vs production and resource business. not always, but often enough. there's a mind boggling number of regulations and restrictions on resource extraction and it tends to have a MASSIVE startup cost (there's a reason why Iran doesn't own any oil refineries for example) plus i believe that it is easier to monopolize or approach monopoly with resource based business (there's plenty of exceptions though) where as in service, there has tended to be a ton of niche markets and relatively easy to start up competitors. i think when addressing economics, the overwhelming factor isn't a marxist ideology of humans being objectified to serve or anything like that, i think it's just about what effectively makes money.

Given the extreme economies of scale of software & technology and the oligopolistic nature of the industry, do you think technology hasa been playing a key role in the rapidly rising income inequality of the United States over the past few decades?
(3 answers)
zippy1357
: no. i think that tech companies have provided a large breadth of lucrative job opportunities where there were previously none. many tech companies are good-high paying and do not push out smallere businesses. you can argue that walmart contributes to income inequality because it drives under local businesses which had middle income and replaces them with more part-time low income jobs, contributing to a higher Gini coefficient. software companies however, at least originally, were a new area which created jobs without eradicating too many others (i'd like to imagine anyway). that being said, the internet, email, is the reason why the postal service is contracting, so yeah, that does replace low/middle paying jobs with high paying jobs, but i think overall they have a net positive effect on the economy
boxocereal
: Perhaps.

This election year. Yeah. I think it sucks. I disagree w/ many of obama's decisions, but I'm totally against the belligerency, buffoonery & corruption of Romney. Couldn't the republicans have picked a good candidate, not just a wealthy one?
(4 answers)
zippy1357
: kennedy, truman, they were teeeeeeeerrible candidates because they were wealthy, right? and, i mean, it's not like romney or ryan has had more time and experience or done anything in state or federal government than obama did when he was elected. the main issue this election is going to be the economy. obama PROMISED not to let the national unemployment rate above 8% romney has dealt with government regulations and private business for his entire career. Ryan has tried to fix the BS tax loopholes which allow romney to pay a low rate. what has obama done to address the deficit or stimulate job growth? he can't even get the keystone pipeline cleared, that is an instant tens of thousands of jobs he spat on right there. he did push for Solindra though, that made a lot of jobs right?
boxocereal
: You would think so...
iBoy2G
: Most Republicans only think about money. Romney is just a regular old "no taxes" Republican. It's funny because these are the clowns who are always claiming to be "less government" and support freedom, yet they want to ban gay marriage, abortion, etc. Sounds like more government to me. Only think they're less government on is stuff that would benefit the rich (eg. low taxes on mansions on other expensive property).
