Policymaking for posterity
Policymaking for posterity involves current decisions with distant consequences. Contrary to conventional prescriptions, we conclude that the greater wealth of future generations may strengthen the case for preserving environmental amenities; lower discount rates should be applied to the far future, and special effort should be made to avoid actions that impose costs on future generations. Post...
متن کاملTelescopes of the Future
New telescopes, new detectors and new regions of the electromagnetic spectrum have often revealed totally unsuspected aspects of the universe. Consider the careful spectroscopic observations of nebulae started around 1912 by Vesto Slipher, using the modest 24 in (61 cm) telescope of Lowell observatory. The recession velocities of thousands of kilometres per second that he found were completely ...

There can be little in common between most natural historians and the recently emerging creationists who wish to deny evolution. But one crumb of comfort is the creationists’ wish to create a ‘museum’ as is the case in Kentucky. At least one word has not been devalued by their agenda. With museums under increasing financial, cultural and managerial pressures, this status is at least cheering fo...
متن کاملCameras a Million Miles Apart: Stereoscopic Imaging Potential with the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes
The two most powerful optical/IR telescopes in history – NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes – will be in space at the same time. We have a unique opportunity to leverage the 1.5 million kilometer separation between the two telescopic nodal points to obtain simultaneously captured stereoscopic images of asteroids, comets, moons and planets in our Solar System. Given the recent resurge...
متن کاملSemantic annotation for live and posterity logging of video documents
Broadcasters usually envision two basic applications for video databases: Live Logging and Posterity Logging. The former aims at providing effective annotation of video in quasi-real time and supports extraction of meaningful clips from the live stream; it is usually performed by assistant producers working at the same location of the event. The latter provides annotation for later reuse of vid...
