Geoengineering and Terraforming Artificial Earthquakes Through Fracking to Save Lives?
Geoengineering Artificial Earthquakes to Save Lives? This blog has focused primarily on practical solutions to the problems of PM2.5 air quality pollution. Things like inexpensive dust particulate sensors for your home, ultra-cheap DIY air purifiers made from duct tape. We’ve run a fashion section with inexpensive masks that are handy to keep stockpiled not only for air pollution and wildfires but also in case of Ebola and Bird Flu panics (both happening at this writing). We just wrote a blog article on big data analysis of earthquakes, and recommended only the cheapest and most-practical immediate crowdsourcing solutions. Can Artificial Earthquakes Save Lives? Click To Tweet But frequent readers will not that we have not been afraid to speculate or address controversial topics. We know of no other corporate blogs that discuss geoengineering, astroengineering, or terraforming. (If you know of one, get in touch.) If we don’t do it, who will? Cosmos and Sagan on Astroengineering A re-make of the Cosmos TV series is currently being aired.… Read the restCrowdsourced seismic sensors might save your life someday.
Crowdsourced Seismic Sensors? A frequent topic on this blog is the use of Arudino and crowdsourced technologies to address air quality issues. Can similar technologies be used adopted from air quality technologies to improve seismic predictions? It turns out the answer is yes. Unless you’ve been living under a large rock these last few days, you’ve probably heard that Los Angeles was struck in the last two weeks by what the USGS describes as a “moderate” 5.1 earthquake with “light” fore and aftershocks of around 4.5. (The Saint Patrick’s Day foreshock trembler prompted our earlier article on robot-written newspaper articles , music, and movies.) During that same period, there were similar or slightly quakes in Chile, Alaska, Greece, and Japan. And let’s not forget the 5.7 quake that struck DC back in 2011 to much mirth on Facebook. There was a significant difference between these quakes and the ones in Los Angeles: (1) they didn’t occur underneath a megapolis of some 13+ million people, and (2) they didn’t occur under one of the world’s major media capitals, where celebrities and publicists are conditioned, like Pavlov’s dog, to associate earthquakes with the salivating opportunity to tweet against a trending hashtag, emergency smartphone power at the ready, and (3) they didn’t have 100 aftershocks within a 24 hour period.… Read the restHome Automation and the Internet of Things; answers to readers comments
CES blog posts Our CES reports on new robotic vacuum cleaners, smart refrigerators, and environment-sensing scales were some of our most popular posts with our readers, as was our coverage of Cisco’s talks on the Internet of Things. There’ll probably be a few more CES reports to share. In future posts, we’re going to cover some of the new home automation gadgets coming out that will make the Internet of Things a reality. Trouble is, too many existing appliances weren’t designed to network. Let’s say you wanted to use our app to decide when to turn your gas dryer, fireplace, or furnace on or off based on airborne combustion levels. That’s hard to do right now. Home Automation and the Internet of Things But a number of small startups are tackling this problem with innovative gadgets that interact with legacy electric appliances like washing machines and dryers. Some feature cameras, optical sensors, outlet switches, and mechanical activators together with a WiFi connection and logic that’s designed to make it easier to let the dryer signal you (over the Internet) when it’s done or even let you control the dryer from a website.… Read the restRecent Posts
