It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) by Ben Garney of Pu...
Ben Garney gives a presentation on the current state and future of Flash. He acknowledges that Adobe has moved away from Flash and HTML5 is positioned as the future standard, but argues that Flash still has life remaining. Garney advises diversifying one's skills and focusing on future proofing rather than reacting strongly to any single technology's rise or fall, as platforms regularly change over time but skillsets can endure.
World May End Tonight Ignite Bangalore
This document discusses many of the major issues facing the world such as war, nuclear weapons, terrorism, poverty, hunger, carbon gases, and natural disasters. It maintains an optimistic tone by also mentioning hope, bliss, beauty, and encourages being yourself and keeping a smile. The document was presented by Sivakumar Palaniappan and speculates that the world may end tonight.
The end of the world
The document discusses theories that December 21, 2012 could mark the end of the world based on the ending of the Mayan calendar on that date. It notes astronomical alignments on that date but also provides biblical passages stating that no one knows the day or hour of the end times and that people should not be deceived but should continue preaching and living for God until Christ's return.
END OF THE WORLD
This document discusses several potential doomsday scenarios for the end of the world in 2012, including predictions from aliens, biblical prophecies, scientific experiments, the Mayan calendar, pandemics, solar flares, biological warfare, asteroids, and Nostradamus. It also provides background information on some historical nuclear weapons tests and countries that currently possess nuclear weapons.
We are going to die!
Human extinction could occur due to overpopulation, diseases and viruses, nuclear war, DNA degradation, super volcanic eruptions, asteroid or comet impacts, alien invasion, or global warming caused by human-driven climate change. The document explores various existential risks that could lead to the extinction of humanity and emphasizes that global warming is being sped up by irresponsible human acts, threatening our end unless changes are made. It concludes by noting that all ends represent new beginnings.
Copenhagen Climate Summit Fails - The End Of The World Is Near
The document analyzes the author's first blog post about the failed Copenhagen Climate Summit. It discusses what the author learned, including that decisions at summits are made before, not at the events; APEC members have significant influence; and some people still deny global warming despite it being a well-known problem. Analyzing the post helped the author understand blog structure and communicating key information better.
Until the End of the World: Night Landscape Photographs, Steve Giovinco
“Until the End of the World,” are lyrical night photographs at the edge of inhabited places where traces of artificial light reveal evidence of people or towns as spectres in the distance.
Dooms day
The document discusses December 21, 2012, which was a date that some believed could trigger a global catastrophe or the end of the world according to some interpretations of Mayan calendars. However, December 21, 2012 passed without any cataclysmic events occurring.
X-risks prevention plan
This document outlines several plans (Plan A1.1 through Plan D) to prevent risks that could lead to human extinction. Plan A1.1 proposes establishing an international control system through 4 steps: research, social support, international cooperation, and establishing a worldwide risk prevention authority. It also proposes developing "active shields" like geoengineering and nanotechnology to defend against threats. Plan A2 focuses on developing friendly artificial intelligence to eliminate risks. Plan A3 aims to improve civilization's resilience through technologies like immortality and miniaturization. Plan A4 involves colonizing space to distribute humanity beyond Earth. Plans B through D have lower chances of success and involve surviving potential catastrophes through preparation and rebuilding civilization.
Bible facts about eternal life
The document discusses what the Bible says about eternal life. It provides several Bible references related to eternal life, immortality, and everlasting life. The Bible says that 1) humans do not currently have eternal life, 2) it cannot be earned but is a gift from God, and 3) it requires bodily resurrection and will be given by Jesus Christ to those who obey him and are faithful, allowing them to enter God's kingdom.
Roadmaps to prevent x risks 2- presentation
This document outlines a roadmap of plans and strategies to prevent human extinction risks from existential threats such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, nuclear war, and climate change. The roadmap includes developing safe and beneficial AI based on friendly AI theory, creating a small seed AI to recursively self-improve in a beneficial manner, and establishing an international control system. It also discusses strategies such as improving human intelligence and morality, colonizing space, developing defensive technologies, and establishing worldwide surveillance and governance to monitor and regulate dangerous technologies and research. The goal is to develop solutions and pass through the near-term risk window posed by accelerating technological change and development.
The end of the world
The document discusses various theories and beliefs about the Mayan prophecy of the world ending in 2012. It covers theories on planetary alignment, pole shifts, solar storms, and the idea that governments are secretly preparing for a potential catastrophe. There are also discussions on the mix of interpretations in online forums, ranging from those who believe nothing will happen to those preparing for the worst. The document presents information from multiple perspectives without making an explicit claim about what will or will not occur.
324 7 part 2 extinction
The document discusses different aspects of extinction in human learning, including renewal where a response can reemerge in a new context, reinstatement where presenting the unconditioned stimulus can cause relearning, and ways to reduce recovery of the extinguished response such as using multiple extinction trials close together or presenting extinction cues in different contexts. It also notes that extinction is not permanent and does not completely erase the association between the conditioned and unconditioned stimuli.
HUMAN EXTINCTION
Humans could become extinct within 200 years if environmental destruction continues unabated. While some argue it is too late and impossible to save the planet, others believe that with collective action it is not too late, and humans can prove skeptics wrong by working to reduce environmental damage and ensure long-term survival of humanity.
Powerpoint
The document discusses theories about the Mayan calendar's prediction of major changes or an "end of the world" scenario in 2012. It mentions that the Mayans believe the calendar marks the end of a cycle and the beginning of a "New Age" or "Golden Age" for humanity, involving evolutionary changes driven by solar/galactic alignments. However, it also presents alternative theories that Planet X/Nibiru will enter our solar system in 2012 and cause catastrophic events like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the death of 2/3 of the world's population. It acknowledges there is no consensus on what will actually happen in 2012.
End of the world presentation
WebRTC allows for real-time communication directly in web browsers without plugins. It uses existing VoIP technologies and exposes communications APIs to web developers. WebRTC handles media streams and leaves signaling up to applications. While implementations exist, challenges remain around mobile, encryption, and fragmentation. WebRTC has the potential to disrupt telephony and enable rich, customized unified communications applications on the web.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and i feel fine
Slides from my closing keynote for the Talis Insight Europe 2016 conference. In this talk I cover global warming and other "extinction level events", and how we might go about preserving the core of human knowledge and culture in an offplanet backup. I show how future technologies like interstellar travel and DNA based data storage are complemented by here and now technologies like cubesats/nanosats and the likes of Project Gutenberg and Wikipedia. All of this is a metaphor for how we should "think big", and looking at the changing role of the librarian.
The end of the World in the Spiritism Vision
The document discusses Spiritism beliefs about the end of the world and future of humanity. It asserts that periodic revolutions are part of a natural law of progress for both the physical world and moral/spiritual development. When humanity is ready for a higher stage of progression, changes will occur through both gradual and sudden transformations. While changes may involve temporary perturbations, the goal is for humanity to attract more advanced spirits and establish the reign of goodness on Earth through moral and intellectual advancement.
End of the world 02
The document discusses several theories about how the world could end in 2012, including:
1) The Mayan Long Count calendar ending a cycle on December 21, 2012, which some believe foretells doom but was likely just a celebration for the Mayans.
2) "Nibiru or 'Planet X'" and the solar system aligning with the galactic equator in 2012, though NASA says this alignment occurs gradually over 36 years.
3) A polar shift changing the Earth's axis due to melting ice caps or an unknown planet, but NASA says polar shifts occur every 400,000 years.
Is the End of the World Coming?
We heard a lot of prophecies before. Though a lot of them didn’t actually happen, it doesn’t mean that it can’t really happen. Sometimes, it can be really confusing. Is it real? Is the end of the world coming?
