AC__ | 10 years ago | on: Should we solar panel the Sahara desert?

While I agree with your sentiment the problem is that solar panels in populated urban areas that are perpetually blanketed by geoengeering spraying practices are not going to be nearly as efficient as ones in dedicated remote areas not being sprayed.

No the Federal Reserve issues USD, not the US government, most people don't realise this fact and it is the difference between a sovereign nation and whatever the fuck North American countries have become today. Canada, where I'm from, had control of our central banking authority up until 1974, what little sovereignty we had(we are still a constitutional monarchy) was relinquished to international banking interests.

While you present a compelling argument, I must respectfully disagree. I may catch some flack for saying it, and many people refuse to believe it, but the U.S. is insolvent. The value of the U.S. dollar is artificially propped-up. How long do you truly believe the Russias and Chinas of the world are going to keep using greenbacks? They will feign WWIII, Israel will expand to encompass 'Greater Israel' and U.N. will formally install global government, and USD will cease to be de-facto global currency.

I don't know much about Jetpack or Elrolysis, next to nothing in fact. Best place to begin would be with the "Getting Started" tutorial https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tutorials/Ge... Installation instructions here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK/Tools/jpm#In.... Caveat I haven't used the updated SDK using their jpm tool but my FF 41 is happily running addon packaged with out-of-date SDK. Good news for you is the new work-flow sounds even easier as you no longer need to call bin/activate to use cfx tools. I will eventually update SDK but I was perfectly happy with my old solution: alias ffsdk='cd /home/$USER/addon-sdk-1.17 && source bin/activate && PS1="ffsdk:\W$ "'

I love Firefox, their addon api is pretty fucking sweet. I've made 2 super simple addons, one to kill a paywall on my local guardian site and a second just last night to easily set lightblue background with black text using a context-menu button, literally took 10 minutes. Can't beat Mozilla documentation.

Not only is it acceptable, it is necessary. How do you think our ancestors determined what was safe to eat? As the saying goes, sometimes you need to break some eggs. Now don't get me wrong, I'm neither condoning, nor encouraging, wanton negligence concerning human safety, obviously all possible efforts should be made to ensure it, but sometimes, such as in cases like this, the rewards far outweigh the risks.
