It's an island near the far tip of the island chain extending north-east from Australia, roughly midway between New Zealand and Hawai'i, about 2000 miles from either, and over 60 miles from the bulk of American Samoa, with no obvious intervening islands aside from it's nearby sister island . Looks to be about as close to living in the middle of the open ocean as you can get, and as such I'm guessing ferries aren't the preferred method of transportation, especially carrying when transporting toxic and explosive payloads.

That remoteness would no doubt serve to make solar *extremely* attractive.

by increases in foreign students. Many of these aren't actually students. They're here working full time jobs and with companies using student visas an paid internships as backdoors to get around visa limitations.

Moreover, college has a 60 % drop out rate (Citation). Kids can make it through the first year or two by working full time, borrowing money and hitting up mom or dad (that's an 'or' for most of them, bad economies break families up). But not a lot of them can keep up with that. Most college counselors will tell you to take a hike if they find out you're working even part time after year two. There's not enough spots in the 300+ level courses. They don't want to spend time on a kid they know isn't going to make it, and nobody wants to spend their tax dollars on those lazy little buggers anyway.

The education system isn't failing these kids. It's just taking a measure of how society as a whole abandoned them to their (very miserable) fate. It was always like this. There was no 'golden age' where this wasn't the reality. The difference is we're testing these kids now up through year 2 college and as a result we can not longer pretend that we as a society are not failing them...

The cost of electricity on a remote island is very different than just the cost of the fuel on the mainland. You have neglected the cost of getting the fuel there and the cost-of-ownership for the diesel generators.

Another approach to costing this system out, since sadly the article itself gives no numbers, is to consider the retail cost of the electricity. A handy comparison is Hawaii - another island location that, until recently anyway, generated almost all of its electricity from diesel shipped from the mainland. In Hawaii, the typical household electric rate is $0.33/kWh, or about $330/MWh. The array is 1.4 MW. Let's say that it has a capacity factor of 25% (i.e., in a 24-hr day, one could expect a total output of 1.4 MW * 24 h * 0.25 = 8.4 MWh). Over one year that's about 12,000 MWh of electricity, which would have a retail value of $4 million.

These days the cost of a large grid-tied PV system is about $2/W. Installation on Ta'u is undoubtedly more expensive, so let's roughly triple that price to $6/W. By that estimate. the panel array would have cost $8.5 million to install. The Tesla Powerpack costs about $250/kWh. Again, installation on a remote island costs more, so let's double it to $500/kWh. Their system has 6,000 kWh, representing a cost of $3 million.

By these estimates, their system cost was $11.5 million. Rated against the electricity cost, the breakeven period is just a few years. Maybe I'm off in my estimates here or there by a factor of, say, 2. But even under worst-case assumptions, I would hazard that the total cost over 20 years is lower with PV than diesel, and with far fewer long-term risks.

At $2.50 a gallon (seems to be current US price?), 300 gallons a day costs $750.

If you're buying it at a pump in the US, sure. If you have to load it onto a plane and send it to the easternmost volcanic island in the Samoa chain, it's going to be a touch more expensive. In Hawaii, for example, (which contains major air and sea infrastructure), diesel is over $4 per gallon. American Samoa is about 2600 miles from Hawaii, or 1800 miles from New Zealand. A chartered flight to the airport on this island from the capital of American Samoa is about $4,400 (obviously, not including the cost of getting the fuel to Pago Pago first). The runway is only 3200 ft / 975 m, so you can't exactly land a C-5 there. In fact that runway is less than half the length required for a Boeing 707. This is the kind of plane that could use that runway, with a maximum cargo capacity of around 8,000 lbs, or about 4200 gallons of diesel, or enough for 2 weeks of power generation. So they need a flight every 2 weeks at least carrying around 4200 gallons of fuel at a time for whatever cost they can get the fuel (probably over $4 per gallon), plus the cost of the flights. That's 26 flights per year. Anyway, the cost of the batteries is definitely less than 10 years of fuel flights, in fact it's probably closer to 3 to 5 years. That's the return on investment (plus the cost of the panels and associated writing and maintenance).

I guess they could also get fuel by boat rather than plane, although the island's 2 boat harbors look like this and this, so they aren't exactly docking a supertanker there.

A politician would simply never be willing to destroy his career in politics in order to do what he believes is right. If it means not getting another term, it won't get done.

Lyndon Johnson did. Reputedly, when he signed the Civil Rights Act, he commented "we have lost the south (for the Democratic party) for a generation."

His "generation" turned out to be a long one; that was 1964, and there is no sign of the south voting for Democrats again any time soon.

The average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. household is ~10,000 kWh. Not sure about Ukraine but let's use the same number as a ballpark estimate. Population of Ukraine is ~45 million, or ~17 million households.

Assuming your number is correct, and assuming the latest ~20% solar cell efficiency, it requires ~850 million sqare meters to power all households in Ukraine. That's ~328 sqare miles, or ~18 miles x 18 miles.

In comparison, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is 1,004 square miles: https://www.google.com/search?...

A good chunk of the exclusion zone is to the southeast of the reactor. The winds on the day of the accident were primarily to the northwest. Radiation levels in the southern portion of the zone are only slightly higher than natural background, and about the same as some of the more naturally radioactive cities on Earth. Most people don't realize that Ukraine's capitol of Kiev is only about 100 km southeast of Chernobyl.

Some elderly people have been allowed to move back into this portion of the zone, but it's still kept part of the exclusion zone out of an abundance of caution. I think it should be kept undeveloped because this is a great experiment on the long-term effects of a nuclear accident on wildlife (both flora and fauna), and the results could be very insightful for determining the effects of radiation on humans. There's very little data on long-term exposure to low levels of radiation. Right now we simply take the effects of high doses of radiation on people, and extrapolate it as a straight line down to zero assuming that if a lot is bad, then a little is also bad. The early research coming out of the Chernobyl exclusion zone seems to contradict this. Slightly elevated levels of radiation actually seem to make animals healthier than normal background radiation (though it could just be that they're not bothered by people). (source)

If I found it to be Sram you can sure bet I'd of sent off a message, so in all fairness.

I stopped by my storage today to pick my stereo with no HDMI. I'm going digital optical connections instead - it's a much nicer receiver.

Just so happened all my Amigas were there, so I brought the 3000 home, snapped a shot of the ram and found it's not Sram and it's not Dram
it's called static column ram - which is as close to Sram as you can get (but not Sram, yet we called it that). In fact if you search for 9A9Z you get
all sorts of answers of what it is.

This ram allows the same search and grab as Sram, the bottom line being "Under some conditions, most of the data in DRAM can be recovered even if the DRAM has not been refreshed for several minutes."

First, double check your math. 7 MB / (25 Mbps) = 2.25s

25 megabits per second

This is the technological equivalent of 'let them eat cake'.

How long does it take to load on a 0.9MBps connection?

How long does it take to load on dialup?

satellite connection

Which is expensive and out of the reach of a lot of people.

Like I said once: 50% of households earning less than $34k/year don't have internet. Period. Not 56k, not 0.9 Mbps, not 25 Mbps. None. How long does 7 MB to load at 0.00 Mbps? It's not like with the Rural Electrification Act that forced someone to run them power or POTS. Comcast says we're not profitable. DSL says we're not profitable and then you wonder why people feel forgotten.

https://www.google.com/amp/amp...

Why do so many people feel compelled to post in Slashdot without knowing anything about the topic?

https://www.google.com/amp/amp...

That's just one example.

The term "alt-right" sprang up in December of 2015, but still achieved almost no national prominence until the major news networks started using it to attack Trump supporters in late Summer 2016. It originally came to be used because it was a term to differentiate someone from the 'establishment' Republicans or eGOP.

However, the major networks have redefined the term to mean the KKK, Nazis, and every other racist, bigot, sexist, -ist or -phobe out there. That's how you see it used on the Left - just like the Right uses Social Justice Warrior as an insult.

Hey, folks. There's a couple places I could probably post this, but figured this was as good a place as any. ;) With fake news being a big problem, I wrote a quick open-source browser extension to highlight articles from comedy or low-quality news sources. Tried not to be biased, but I'm sure there's some present.

Anyway, you can check it out on the Chrome web store: https://chrome.google.com/webs...

Or hit up the GitHub repo: https://github.com/Fortyseven/...

Got plenty of those where I live. Coming from cars with six foot tall aluminum spoilers and exhaust pipes that a basketball could be tossed in. Bonus points for the "R-Type" stickers on a Nissan SE-R.

prepare yourself. https://www.google.com/search?...

That makes the alt-right attractive to degenerates like pick up artists, men's rights activists and other far right groups that want to go back to some idealised version of the 1950s.

The idyllic 1950's, a conservative's dream. There were a lot of bad things back in the 50's. Separate, and unequal treatment of minorities. For example, sit at the back of the bus, can't buy a house in a reasonably nice neighbourhood, women and minorities blacklisted from education and opportunities.

But there was good as well. Take 1954 for example. America was strong, the economy was great and the American worker could earn a living and have a great retirement without all of the socialism. It was also the year that Union membership reached its peak at 23.8%. Since then, as union power and influence has declined, so has the real adjusted income of the American worker. Good thing we've gotten rid of those evil unions who fought hard for so many American worker's rights.

The good old days had so much less government that they didn't need all of those high taxes like they have today, am I right? Yes sir, why back in 1954 the richest Americans only had to pay 87% of their income in taxes! Yes you read that correctly. The highest tax bracket was 91%, but if you read the notes in the linked documents you see that the highest effective rate on net income in 1954 was 87% of income. There were a lot more tax brackets as well, which actually worked out much more fairly. About 26 tax brackets. Anyone earning between $0 and $2,000 was taxed at 20%.

The 1950's when America was great and strong thanks to all those union workers and the high tax rates. Sounds like a conservatives dream, if you include nightmares.

Very odd that this story comes out now, as I just read study about CO2 and fossil fuel emissions that concluded there is no correlation between emission and CO2 concentration. Here's a link: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/p... I'm not a statistician, so I can't attest to it's accuracy or validity, but it was an interesting read.

It's not a study, but just an analysis. And it is neither peer-reviewed nor properly published, but just uploaded to the Social Science Research Network - think arXiv, but without any pedigree for natural sciences. The author is an Emeritus - and was a professor of Business Administration (!). Google Scholar shows an h-index of 6, with a153 citations in total. But nearly all the publications are on SSRN or equivalent, and nearly all the citations are self-citations - indeed. ResearchGate computes the h-index without self citations as 1. These are not numbers your average research assistant would be happy about.

I'm not a statistician, either, but I can see at least one obvious problem (apart from data quality): He uses CO2 measurements from a single source, Mauna Loa, and works on an annual time scale. But CO2 does not magically spread around the world - it takes about a year until a pulse has reasonably mixed world-wide. Also, of course, human emissions are only a small part of the total flow of CO2 (although significant because they only go one way). So the signal he is looking for is quite small.

We have several ways to know that atmospheric CO2 increase is largely anthropogenic. The easiest is simple accounting. We know that the increase in atmospheric CO2 corresponds to about half of our emissions (much of the rest is currently absorbed by the oceans). If the cause of the increase is not our emissions, then a) they need to magically vanish somewhere and b) an equivalent amount has to magically appear from somewhere. Oh, and the new magic source has to magically match the isotope ratio of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion.

Why? It would seem, the technique can be used with a perfectly passive radio-receiver, which would not be (mis)taken for an access point at all.

BTW, are you covering your mouth, when you talk outside? Your words can be deciphered from far away by a lip-reading expert (or software). Supposedly, only 30-40% of English language can be "read" over the speaker's lips alone. That may be true for human lip-readers, but there is software, that claims 93.4% success rate. The attack described in TFA has only 68% accuracy... For now...

I'm not sure how you'd call this a landslide. Reagan's second term election... that was a landslide.

While Kennedy Space Center offers the best view of launches (launchpads surrounded by lots of flat land), if you're in California it can be worth it to drive to Vandenberg to view a launch of one of the larger rockets. It's only about 2.5 hours from Los Angeles, 4 hours from San Francisco. The launch pads are on an Air Force base surrounded by hills so you probably won't be able to see the initial liftoff.* But there are several locations which will allow you to see the rocket after it's gained a bit of altitude.

Check the launch schedule to find one you'd like to see. Double-check the week and day before, as launches are frequently postponed. I used my cell phone's data to tap into a live video webstream of the launch on my phone, and output the countdown over my car's speakers for everyone to hear (which also gave us a good indication when to look for the rocket appearing over the hills). Be aware that most of the rockets are liquid fueled, so leave almost no smoke trail (liquid O2 + liquid H2 = H2O or water vapor). If you can catch one which uses solid rocket boosters, those will leave a heavy smoke trail. And these things are fast - it'll be out of sight within a couple minutes, so don't go hoping to keep the kids entertained for a few hours.

* The exception is the SLC-3E pad which is visible from Surf Beach and Ocean Ave, but last time I went for a launch from SLC-3E they had closed off the beach and Ocean Ave. Launches from SLC-6 are also visible from Surf Beach almost immediately after liftoff, though the greater distance makes it less enjoyable. Launches are towards the south and they close off the parks, beaches, and ocean to the south the day of the launch, so don't bother trying those locations.

The thing that bothers me about it is I'd really like to be able to make some of the stuff to play with out in the desert or some other safe place, but it's illegal to do that kind of thing. So, even if you could read the books, you couldn't legally have any fun with the knowledge. :(

I did play with that stuff when I was in high school.

In 1957, when the free world was locked in a death struggle with international Communism, the Soviet Union humiliated the United States by sending up Sputnick, the first artificial satellite in outer space, orbiting the world and beeping its presence on radio frequencies that any Ham operator in the world could tune in to. That was soon followed by the first dog in space, the first man in space, and the first woman in space.

America had to do something. They responded the way they always do -- promoting science, technology, engineering and math. (No coding; we still used T-squares and slide rules.) If you were a science teacher willing to make a Faustian bargain to get endless resources, laboratories, and cool toys in exchange for teaching kids how to become engineers and scientists and find better, more reliable, accurate ways to deliver hydrogen bombs to the Kremlin. We were in a space race with the Russians. Crisis in Education: exclusive pictures of a Russian schoolboy vs. his U.S. counterpart, Life, 24 March 1958, https://books.google.com/books...

You know the line, "If you don't give me a billion dollars and let me do anything I want, the terrorists will win"? Well, that started off in 1957 as, "If you don't give me a billion dollars and let me do anything I want, the Communists will win."

This was not long after the Manhattan Project dramatically ended the world's greatest struggle with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Scientists were war heroes. Scientists could get away with anything.

Science teachers tolerated (and sometimes tacitly encouraged) adolescent boys playing with explosives. You never can tell when your country may be invaded and you'll have to join the guerillas to fight back with improvised explosive devices.

As every chemistry teacher knows, nothing attracts the attention of a class as well as an explosion. The smarter chemistry students were the ones who were most attracted to making their own explosives.

Some of you may recall a column in Scientific American called "The Amateur Scientist," and some of you may further recall their article on model rockets, which set off a craze for building rockets around the country, which I joined. The propellant they recommended was zinc dust and sulfur, which was safer because it was a self-limiting explosion which would slow down as the pressure increased. My high school friends in the Science Club experimented with other propellants. "Experiment" in this context means seeing if it shoots your rocket higher or just blows up. Blowing up was not a total loss. In reference to the other message, everyone who mixed potassium chlorate with red phosphorous, including me, eventually met disaster. Without going into detail, I strongly recommend face shields and tongs. I also recommend that you keep it wet and don't let it dry out as you're working on it. There are a lot of 6-fingered chemists around.

We actually learned a lot of chemistry and physics. The chemistry of rocket fuels is a good lesson in oxydation and in applying theory to practice. We ran into a PR guy at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Aerospace who probably did the same thing at our age and directed us to some basic textbooks on rocketry, which we then looked up across the street in the Science and Technology division of the New York Public Library. The books were full of calculus, so I said to myself, "I have to learn calculus." So I did. I remember how, in a well-designed rocket, the fuel would bu

Uhm. OK. You know why we called him a racist and a misogynist? Because he is a racist and a misogynist. Unless you were asleep during the campaign, you couldn't possibly have missed that.

The Nazi and Hitler references? Well, I could point out that he's a populist demagogue, running on a platform of racial scapegoating (and that's not a small part of this campaign, that's been the core of the campaign he ran since he stepped on that elevator and made his first speech announcing his candidacy), who's advocated violence against peaceful opponents, and who's made it clear he plans to abuse the law to punish opposition.

But... there's a quicker way to demonstrate he's a fascist. which is to ask the Neo-Nazis what they think. And they're pretty much unanimous in supporting him. . They're doing victory laps.

What would you call him?

Don't fucking mainstream him because he won. He's still the fascist we warned you about. And he's an existential threat to this country.
