		<title>Comment on Flaws in &#8216;Collective Ownership&#8217; Feed Inequality in China by Jason Tian</title>

		<description>I strongly believe that the current problem of corruption and wealth gap or inequality is not the inevitable product of public ownership esp when it comes to land ownership (for SOEs, I would concur that public ownership has given easy way of lining the pockets of only the few, as personal property is much easier to hide and transfer).

I would think that public land ownership is something the country can continue to experiment to uphold. Private ownership of lands will easily lead to concentration of all land into the hands of only a few under the name of free market. 

China should work more diligent on how to protect the interests of related parties on the land making sure no one can take advantage of public ownership for private gains. it is more a political issue than an economic one. Specifically, we need to learn how to put power into a cage.</description>

		<description>To start with, I&#039;m also generally positive about the potential of Open Source, 3D printing, etc.

A bit worried about Wired&#039;s &#039;techno-market utopianism&#039; though:
&quot;In an age of open source, custom-fabricated, DIY product design, all you need to conquer the world is a brilliant idea.&quot;

Don&#039;t forget the ability to bankroll hype-ing your idea via for-profit media, and actually get it to customers via a distribution network. A brilliant piece about realistic challenges of &quot;little guy&quot; competing with giants like Apple is at http://blog.makezine.com/2012/04/30/makes-exclusive-interview-with-andrew-bunnie-huang-the-end-of-chumby-new-adventures/ 

But don&#039;t want to sound defeatist :- indeed, bring on the open source, locally-made, 3D printed eco-democratic revolution ;)</description>

		<description>The EPA classifies arsenic as a likely carcinogen and recommends a maximum contaminant level of zero for arsenic in water.
Carbon is the primary substance used in water filtration methods because carbon has the potential to absorb many of the chemicals found in water.
We can choose a better one according to our 
own condition.

		<title>Comment on Resistance Is Surrender by Lori</title>

		<description>Of the possibilities enumerated here, this one looks most plausible to me:

Or, it recognises the temporary futility of the struggle. In today’s triumph of global capitalism, the argument goes, true resistance is not possible, so all we can do till the revolutionary spirit of the global working class is renewed is defend what remains of the welfare state, confronting those in power with demands we know they cannot fulfil, and otherwise withdraw into cultural studies, where one can quietly pursue the work of criticism.

Put another way, some kind of shit has to hit some kind of fan.  Crisis =&gt; Opportunity.  Of course, if it took something as traumatic as the Great Depression to make a package of demands as ambitious (or as humble) as the New Deal, then the calculus of crisis and opportunity is indeed daunting.

The key is being ready.  The situation in America is depressing because the people who make a point of being prepared for shit are almost always reactionaries, nationalists and ideological capitalists.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s kind of interesting to see an article by the &#039;Conservative Future Project&#039; on a solidly left-wing website!

I realise re-posting their stuff doesn&#039;t mean endorsing their views - but still, the ambiguous conservative double-speak in the final few paragraphs is both revealing and jarring.

I.E., are they actually concerned about the loss of jobs for low-medium skilled workforce? No, they&#039;re worried that what little environmental protection the US has will turn away a profit-making opportunity for large corporations!

In their view, we don&#039;t need a radical shift in political-economy as a result of this new tech &amp; productive forces - no, we need to &#039;remove barriers to nascent industries&#039; (read: remove tax &amp; enviro laws) and &#039;encourage innovators&#039; (read: remove more taxes on the rich).

Suggestion for the editors: how about a few stories about countries like Finland &amp; Sweden, which for all their social-democratic prevaricating and export reliance to developing nations, at least try to frame rapid technological change in terms of broad-based, open access, high quality education systems and re-skilling as part of the social safety net. It may not &#039;solve&#039; the problem long term, but is at least a humanistic response within the constraints of a capitalist system.</description>

		<description>s grain consumption increased by 36,280,000 tonnes (40 million tons).

The effects of higher daytime lows are mostly good. Therefore, 
these lights are the best option for saving energy and the global environment from global warming.</description>

		<description>Solar cells are the basic component of any active system used to convert sunlight into a form of energy. Traditionally, solar cells were used as the key part of panel systems that generated electricity or heat for homes. These days, the technology is used in a wide variety of applications, which means the style of solar cells vary per application.`
