Climate change is reaching the point of no return and we aren't going to stop using fossil fuels. Should we start using technologies like genetically modified corals and iron fertilization (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_fertilization) to mitigate the damage caused by climate change?

Cyberpunk is the idea that technology will condemn us to a future of totalitarian nightmares here you can discuss recent events and how technology has been used to facilitate greater control by the elites, or works of fiction

Cyb came up as an idea to increase the traffic because some people wanted a cyb board for some reason.
So it got swept under the rug till one day mr anon anonwell just niggerengined his way to the direct link missclicking the link to foal with moustaches r34 from his bookmarks.
Noticin the epic winrars he decided to bump the board for epic interwebz points and headpats.
And so the board got bumped into >>overboard and people were like "IT'S ALIVEEE" and mods decided to list it again.

Eh, I can dig it. At least we got alt-tech and medi-sci discussion going again, eh?
But why do some posts say 2 years? mlpol was a year and 9 months ago, and the site does a method of dating like Youtubes, meaning those posts predated mlpol proper...right?

Well mlpol started with just /mlpol/
Then came /sp/ and you know what came with football? the denver broncos.
So the only posts capable of being almost 2 years old are those from /mlpol/ you can guess some posts from /mlpol/ were moved to /cyb/ that's why they are so old.
Mlpol.net was not created april 1, but i don't remember if it was april 2 or 3
So yeah, mlpol.net is not 2 y/o yet, it's probably just an error from the server not being able to into timedates.

What on Earth is cyberpunk? I really have no fucking clue.

high tech, low life.
Cyberpunk was briefly a "movement" in literary science fiction, back in the last century when everything was printed on dead trees. It started around 1980 and lasted around six years and involved a handful of authors:
Bruce Sterling
William Gibson
Rudy Rucker
Pat Cadigan
John Shirley
Just about all of these people were Canadian acid-casualties, hippies who hated America, Americans, capitalism, and President Reagan, and who were terrified that he was going to blow up the world, or get us all enslaved by Them Evil Japs, or Them Evil Wall Street Sheenies, or all three simultaneously. It came through in everything they wrote.
Most of the early c-punk stuff was short stories written by Gibson and Rucker that got printed as filler in between poorly written, sensationalized Sunday-supplement level "SCIENCE!" articles in a shiny-paper deadtree magazine called "OMNI" in the early 1980s. Stuff like "Burning Chrome" and "Tales of Houdini."
All of it was experimental. All of it was either blackly humorless grimderp verging on self-parody or absolutely bleak in tone, uniformly in nightmarishly dystopian settings where the world was owned by ruthless Japanese corporations, and most the settings included nuclear war and/or global ecological collapse as part of the backstory. Just about all of them were about mohawk-wearing Rebels Against the System who usually had big clunky cybernetic prosthetic arms, who normally had mirrorshades, scuffed black leather jackets, or both, either dying pointlessly or running for their lives through the neon-lit gutters from Space Yakuza Ninja assassins. The countryside doesn't exist. No one ever sees a tree or a flower or stands with his boots touching earth instead of concrete, nor ever did.
As a "movement," it was over not long after Ronald Reagan was elected for his second term, and the original material really hasn't aged well. This despite the term continuing as a genre description down to the present day, which carries a connotation of a retro-futuristic mashup punk rawk/film noir setting full of of l33t h4x0r types with Ethernet jacks surgically wired into their brains, in the centers of their foreheads, and their buddies, hulking strong silent type gengineered cyborg'd-out killing machines with robot hands that have knives that pop out of them, that they were in Special Forces with in The War.
Sterling wrote, as this genre was shaping up to turn into something of an embarrassment for him in the early 90s, that c-punk wasn't about the cranial jacks or the mirrorshades, it was about what it would be like to live in a collapsing dystopian future in which baby-eating hypercapitalism had eaten the world alive, science was pursued solely for profit and all caution or human decency abandoned, and Frankenstein's Monster was not only loose but looking back at us from the mirror, and the Bomb, THE BOOOOOOOOOOOOMB, is hanging over all our heads like some kind of horrible robotified sword-o-Damocles, I tell you what.
Now it is remembered mainly as the progenitor of "steampunk," which is this extremely silly attempt to marry the film-noir-1970s-punx-wif-mohawks feeling with really implausible Jules-Verne-ish adventure stories involving clockwork robo-golems with big brass gears sticking out of their heads, and everyone wears a corset, including the guys. I suspect the future will find it even sillier than c-punk.

>Marbled crayfish are the only known decapod crustaceans to reproduce only by parthenogenesis.[5] All individuals are female, and the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.[4][8] Marbled crayfish are triploid animals,[4][9] which may be the main reason for their parthenogenetic reproduction. Marbled crayfish are thus a model for the rapid generation of species.[4]
>Because marbled crayfish are genetically identical, easy to care for,[10] and reproduce at high rates, they are a potential model organism, particularly for studying development.[11] A major drawback, however, is the long generation time (several months) compared to other research organisms.[12]
Since they are genetically identical wouldn't it be easier to create a population of genetically modified crayfish? Say you inserted a gene to produce a protein in one of them. Then all of it's off spring would produce that protein as well. In time you could have enough crayfish to produce your protein in commercial quantities.

Does the PS4 have any games? I got one for free from a dumb friend that got the new PS4 Pro, "A console so nice we sold it to you four times!".
If anyone here knows how to pirate PS4 games and play them on-console, that'd be cool, too.

I actually obtained one through a similar means, a former roommate was moving and he offered to sell me his for like a hundred bucks and change, plus it came with a stack of games. Unfortunately he had kind of shitty taste in games, so the only one I have that's really worth playing is Batman: Arkham Knight. That one I recommend, though.

I fear that the end of the internet is neigh and that us thought-criminals may soon find ourselves without a home. We need an alternative, but what else is there? Danknet? Meshnets? Packet Radios? Is there anything we can use?

That exists along with the gauss rifle, even in pistol form, but it's highly inefficient compared to the conventional firearms. Unless we figure out a better way to convert energy, caseless ammunition is the closer step.

effeciency, that's another problem we've yet to solve and/or bother solving. it's a real shame, those two and the coil gun are all really cool theoretical weapons that could very well become real with the proper development.

Hold on, I found something while trying to look for the pistol I mentioned. Something new and shocking.

But, then I found it was quite old. Since 2005.

I still can't find the pistol I was looking for. It was an electric one, and it was used for a sporting event. Competitive shooting. No results come from searching "electric gun." Probably too on the nose.
