If you reject all solutions by claiming without any credible evidence that they "don't work", what's the point?

My credible evidence:
http://cmo-ripu.blogspot.com/2...

I'm taking Dr. Ripu Malhotra as far more credible evidence than most. Same for Dr. Patrick Moore. There's many others I follow on this topic, all very educated in energy and/or the environment. All far more credible on finding workable solutions than repeating the same mistakes with solar and wind hoping for a different result. Stop the insanity. We've had the solution for our power needs decades ago but it seems many are willfully blind to it. Civilization cannot continue without nuclear power, I'm quite certain of that as are many people smarter than you or I.

here's no logical reason we cannot get to 100% renewable energy

Sure there is, material demands.

http://cmo-ripu.blogspot.com/2...

For the same energy output nuclear takes far less materials than wind, hydro, geothermal, and especially solar. There is not enough mining in the world to meet the kind of material needs to switch to 100% renewable energy. We aren't going to get there any time soon either as we are talking not about a doubling or tripling of output but orders of magnitude difference. Nuclear takes no more materials than coal for the same energy. We can switch to nuclear without any kind of "green deal", we only need a government willing to issue licenses for their construction and put an end to the subsidies on wind and solar that drive them out of the market.

Whatever, another article about how we are all doomed.

Here's what I want to see, solutions that work. Wind and solar don't work because without massive levels of storage to even out the varying load to the varying demand then it simply cannot keep the lights on. Also, add up all the resources needed to build all these windmills, solar panels, and batteries, and you will find yourself a situation that will destroy the economy and/or the environment in trying to dig up all the materials needed.

You think wind and solar don't have any environmental impact? Where do you think all that steel, aluminum, copper, concrete, rare earth elements, and so on come from? We dig it out of the ground, that's where it comes from. Same for the batteries, that stuff has to be dug up, refined, machined, molded, and transported to the construction site. This takes energy and materials. Energy and materials we cannot produce in any meaningful time frame.

We need solutions, not another restatement of the problem. Seems no one wants to speak of what that solution might be.

Oh, and I give citations on why the solutions brought up so often will not work.

Your posts kind of remind me of this.

We can achieve a "zero carbon" economy in one of two ways. The first is to revert to near stone age technology. Given the discoveries in science and technology I'm sure that our lives would not be nearly as poverty stricken, brutal, nasty, and short but we'd lose access to many luxuries we have today. Airplanes would be right out. People would need to resort to travel long distances by water, rail, or maybe lighter than air vessels.

If you want a modern economy that is "zero carbon" then the only solution must include nuclear power. That does not mean we cannot also include sun, wind, and hydro power, in fact ruling them out is not anything I have seen nuclear power advocates call for. What we need to do though is not shoehorn these technologies into places where they do not make economic sense. Doing that leads to poverty, and the brutal and short lives that come with it.

China could leapfrog the rest of the world on achieving a modern and "zero carbon" economy because they are investing in nuclear power while the rest of the world is not. Right now the USA gets 20% of it's electricity from nuclear power and powers many vessels in its navy by nuclear power. To remove nuclear power means replacing those nuclear reactors with something that, barring some leap in technology, will be less safe, higher CO2 emissions, and less reliable.

We cannot have both a modern economy and a "zero carbon" economy without nuclear power. I put "zero carbon" in scare quotes because I know someone will point out that nuclear power is not truly zero carbon, and they'd be right. What they ignore, or chose to remain ignorant of, is that nuclear power produces less carbon per energy produced that wind, solar, and perhaps even hydroelectric energy. What these anti-nuclear types also ignore, or chose to remain willfully ignorant of, is the long safety record of nuclear power. Even though many died from Chernobyl, and dozens died in the poorly managed (and likely unnecessary) evacuations from Fukushima, nuclear power is still far safer than any other energy source we have. Don't believe me? Look it up!

Here's one source to prove my point: http://cmo-ripu.blogspot.com/2...

If you dispute my source then I'm happy to provide others so long as there is a source cited that shows otherwise. Best I've seen so far is speculation on how many could die if we deployed the same 1950s technology that was used at Chernobyl or an explanation of the dangers of nuclear power with no comparisons to what might replace it. Yes, nuclear power is dangerous. Much like a republican form of government is the worst except all the others we tried we know that nuclear power is the worst except all the others we tried.

Our choices are nuclear power, keep burning coal, or reverting to near stone age in living standards. You can claim that future technology will bring another option and I can agree but for now, as of today, we have only those three choices. Until technology advances to give another option we must choose from those three. I suggest we choose nuclear power, just as China has.

There was a time stable software was a standard, not a luxury.

Those were also the days of comically bad security vulnerabilities and insanely long times to delivering critical security fixes.

These days, Project Zero gives you a 90 day disclosure window. Stable or not, you are highly incentivized to patch it before it's publicly disclosed.

Chinese culture has an ugly, savage aspect: the typical Chinese ignores ethical issues in his pursuit of fame and fortune.

Just before the techniques of genetic engineering became commercially widespread, the general public in the West debated the ethics of such techniques. The debates appeared on radio and in print media.

Such debates never appeared in Chinese society in China, Taiwan, or Singapore.

A Chinese scientist will likely be the first scientist to create a hybrid of a human being and a chimpanzee.

Chinese morality rapes Western notions of human decency.

Let's say 500 years from now, everyone had green eyes, brown hair, and a lighter skin color and maybe even spoke one language. We would be a completely homogeneous society. Racism would be all but eliminated. Is that a bad thing?

Long term trend is actually the reverse; although it might well be starting to turn around now for reasons that may or may not be related to streaming economics... but my grandparents and parents generations both lived with most hit music being sub-3 minutes. While my generation and my kids saw it climb to 4+ so its hardly a big deal its down a bit.

1850's: 30+ (a concerto tends to go for half an hour).

When recorded media came along, it introduced a little bit of a constraint over how much audio could be recorded, but this hasn't been a real issue since cassette tape, with streaming and digital media, there isn't a limit on length. Songs that were generally performed in concert were sometimes shortened for recording but songs that have been 4 minutes or more were commonplace since at least the 40's. They were just performed live rather than recorded.

And I think that is where the problem is. Albums are taking less time to record in a studio then they are being edited post recording. To cut down on the amount of work and money required to produce a song, they're simply cutting down the length. Also given that most performers, especially in the pop genre are not writers, the writers get to sell more songs if they make them shorter.

ASCII is still king - over 95% of web pages are ASCII.

You've confused "ascii" with "ansi" and confused "unicode" with "utf8".

That's pretty damn impressive considering you only wrote three sentences.

We need a border wall to protect us from violent Hispanic aliens.

At 17% of the overall population, Hispanics commit 22% of all murders in the United States.

Suppose that we calculate the percentages after omitting non-Hispanic Africans from the overall population. Then, Hispanics constitute 20% of the overall population but commit 37% of all murders. Hispanics commit murder at 3 times and 6 times the rate at which European-Americans and Asian-Americans, respectively, commit murder.

The countries in Latin America have high rates of violent crime and are the source of Hispanic emigration to the United States.

Speaking of Chinese and copying, I've seen (fake) western antiques produced in China by people who were obviously unfamiliar with the western alphabet, in that they copied shapes of letters in things like latin inscriptions without knowing what the letters were. The result was sort of a Chinese tattoo fail in reverse.

So yeah, you could get people copying manuscripts who had little or no education, as long as they had good artistic skills. My guess as to why they had women do it is that they're better at precision work, which is why they were employed as recently as a few decades ago to do things like string ferrite core memory, and a few decades before that to paint watch dials.

With SSD's being around $100 for a samsung 256gb drive, i doubt anyone is deploying less than 128 these days.

Who the hell would ship a computer with a 32gb ssd? windows itself needs that much to even install! much less run. 128gb has been too small for a few years now!

There are also some tricks you can use to free up space. One i learned recently will clean up the stupid windows installer directory pretty well. i personally freed up 40gb on my work machine.

Download the windows installer cleanup utility, then run MSIZAP.exe G! to clean the directory

If you get an error, delete all the registry keys under:

Lenovo (along with Acer and Asus) will dominate the market for Windows-Intel computing devices (including laptops and desktops) to such an extent that it will force either HP or Dell to exit the market.

The reason for the success of Lenovo is that Lenovo hires only the best candidates, rejecting affirmative action.

The reporter who wrote this news article failed to address the fundamental problem: human populations' demand for resources grows to fit the constraints of the environment. So, increasing the amount of energy resources (by adding more solar panels, for example) will encourage the human population to use more energy. Increasing the production rate of food (by increasing the pace and extent of growth of tomato plants, for example) will encourage the human population to eat more and to produce more babies. Eventually, the human population will reach the limits of resources in the environment. The difficulties (at the limits) will again present themselves.

Although the size of the human populations in developed countries have leveled off, the size of the populations in Africa and other anti-Western areas have not leveled off. Increasing food production will not fix the barbarism in Africa. Increasing food production will only encourage increasing the number of barbaric Africans.

There is more information about this issue.

The only way to fix the fundamental problem is to reduce the size of the human population.

Scientific institutions in China do not use affirmative action (AA). Only the best candidates receive job offers.

This meritocracy facilitates excellence in science and engineering.

That explains why Chinese scientists beat the American scientists in being first to place a spacecraft on the far side of the moon.

Large-scale problems in Japan occur primarily due to unethical behavior. The Fukushima nuclear disaster is an example.

By contrast, large-scale problems in the United States occur due to either unethical behavior or incompetence. The latter cause is often due to affirmative action (AA).

The Los Alamos National Laboratory uses AA to give preferential treatment to Africans and Hispanics in employment. According to a report by NPR, a contractor (who was likely African or Hispanic) was unaware that "organic" and "inorganic" are not synonyms. He poured organic material into a drum of nuclear waste. Consequently, the drum exploded. Plutonium dust was emitted into the atmosphere.

If you eat vegetables from farms in New Mexico, you likely have consumed trace amounts of plutonium.

There is an alternative explanation. Specifically, the supply of labor by Indians (from South Asia) with H-1B visas is greater than the supply of labor by Hispanic illegal aliens, relative to the number of job openings for skilled labor and unskilled labor, respectively.

Amnesty International (AI) has morphed from an organization promoting human rights to an organzation promoting the policies of the alt-left.

AI now demands that all Western nations maintain "open borders", which is tantamount to national suicide. (There is more information about this issue.)

The study conducted by Amnesty International and Element AI should be ignored because the authors of the study designate any negative comment as an "abusive comment".

For example, all comments in a polite essay that successfully refutes claims of gender barriers in information technology would be designated by Amnesty International and Element AI as "abusive comments against women".

What is the real intent of Amnesty International and Element AI in producing this so-called study? Both organizations want to censor information.

Unsurprisingly, both organizations used Twitter as the vehicle for facilitating censorship. Twitter itself censors information.

In a previous century, Christian clergymen declared that factual statements from some scientists (e.g., Galileo Galilei) are offensive. The clergymen shouted, "Blasphemy! Heresy!" They used religious emotion to suppress the truth.

In the current century, Hispanics (and Africans) and their political accomplices declare that factual statements from some conservative populists (e.g., Ann Coulter) are offensive. Hispanics shout, "Bigotry! Racism! White Supremacy!" They use religious emotion to suppress the truth. (Consider one example of the truth.)

Upon hearing accusations of racism, Twitter promptly bans the writer (of the truth) and deletes his comments.

Suppressing the truth in the past or the present is unethical.

Deliberately censoring information is equivalent to deliberately spreading disinformation. Both techniques create a false impression of reality. Twitter is no better than the propaganda offices in Beijing and Moscow.

The national program to put an American on the moon significantly advanced the pure and applied sciences. The program was immensely successful because it was implemented during an era when merit was rewarded.

Preferential treatment includes affirmative action (AA). It is gross discrimination against Americans of European or Asian ancestry.

Due to AA, an Asian (or European) must score roughly 300 points higher than a Hispanic, on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, in order for the admissions committee (of Princeton University) to give the Asian (or European) equal consideration with the Hispanic.

All governments conduct or sponsor hacking. The principal difference between the United States and China is that American hacking is subject to review by the judicial branch of government. Hence, the American Civil Liberties Union can sue Washington to curb American hacking or to expose its extent.

Chinese hacking is not subject to such constraints. China is a brutal, authoritarian society.

So, hacking by Westerners is not morally equivalent to hacking by Chinese or even Indians.
