Population of India: 1.324 billion.

Average income India:
"India's per capita income (nominal) was Rs7,593 in 2013, ranked at 112th out of 164 countries by the World Bank, while its per capita income on purchasing power parity (PPP) basis was US$5,350, and ranked 106th."

Electrification:
http://www.hindustantimes.com/...
"In 2 years, BJP govt electrified 13523 villages; only 8% were completely electrified
As of May 25, 2017, 13,523 villages have been electrified, but 100% household connectivity has been achieved in only 1,089 villages"

Clean Water:
"In 2008, 88% of the population in India had access to an improved water source, but only 31% had access to improved sanitation. In rural areas, where 72% of India's population lives, the respective shares are 84% for water and only 21% for sanitation"

The taxpayer's association says the "major difficulties" mentioned by the council stem from Linux-based operating systems not being not adopted by large organizations "as a serious alternative to Windows".

Either they're being misquoted or their information is out of date by a decade or more. Plenty of large corporations are using Linux. Even Microsoft itself is supporting Linux in various ways (for example: on Azure, rolling its own flavour of the Linux kernel, even possibly creating its own distro. Without more details it's hard to say what's going on, but we are wayyy past the point of deciding whether Linux is a "serious" alternative to Windows. I use it every day at work and have for many years at large companies and at home.

If what I say is bullshit then perhaps you can provide something that proves me wrong. Nuclear power is the safest, most reliable, energy source we have with a carbon footprint and cost as low as wind, solar, or hydro. Or do I have to Google that for you too?

No normal person gets sweat in their ears in any significant quantity, the ear is shaped to avoid just such a thing. I've played soccer for 30 years and never had a problem with sweat in my ears.

That was the best you could come up with in 10 days? Good grief. Let the Google be your guide to scores of actual athletes saying otherwise.

But hey, let's say you're right -- in that case, (1) it would be utterly meaningless to claim that earbuds are "resistant to sweat," and (2) the plaintiffs in this lawsuit who claimed that their sweating caused their earbuds to die would by definition be lying through their teeth (making the reasonable assumption that their earbuds were indeed inserted into their ears and not, e.g., their rectums).

You really didn't think that one through, did you?

You have no evidence to back up your claim. It is entirely possible that the overall accident rate will increase because people will start to rely on autonomous
driving systems in situations where they are not safe or use them in ways that are unsafe

This isn't Nature or some other scientific journal. Demanding evidence that's easily found with your search engine of choice is often considered impolite.

Thus far, autonomous driving has had far fewer collisions per mile driven than human drivers. Tesla's AutoSteer reduced collisions by over 40%. It's a staggering improvement in overall safety.

Humans don't handle the corner cases autonomous systems struggle with very well either. The fact that the Tesla driver had 10 seconds to "notice" something was amiss doesn't mean much.

Even when we're "paying close attention", our brains will often ignore really important details. We even pay for the privilege when Magicians exploit it, because we respect the skill involved.

You can push them all you want, but most of them are disconnected. (Notice the many years this has been happening.)

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Fukushima...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

A number of nuclear reactor safety system lessons emerged from the incident. The most obvious was that in tsunami-prone areas, a power station's sea wall must be adequately tall and robust.[6] At the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant, closer to the epicenter of 11 March earthquake and tsunami,[289] the sea wall was 14 meters tall and successfully withstood the tsunami, preventing serious damage and radioactivity releases.

https://www.theguardian.com/en...

The report noted that Tepco had not made any safety improvements to the Fukushima Daiichi plant since 2002, and had dismissed the possibility of it being hit by a massive tsunami, even though it could not produce supporting data.

It had, for example, insisted that Fukushima Daiichi's 5.7m seawall was high enough to withstand a tsunami generated by a large quake in the area, despite a warning in 2008 by its own engineers that much bigger waves were possible.

Wow it use to be (yes I'm that old) a case on slashdot that people would at lease do a cursory google before opening their ~~mouths~~ reply box http://lmgtfy.com/?q=threadrip...

And it can be even cheaper than that....

* disclaimer.. I'm not advertising for HDHomerun, it's just that it's the only product i know of that you can place closer to the antenna in a simple way (propagate to the rest of the house via Wifi or Ethernet instead of coax-cables)... Just wish there was some more companies that made similar products..

1. Get one or two HDHomerun devices depending on your needs. (network based tuners).
2. Get a RPi and install tvheadend... May require a beefier device depending on how many streams it needs to handle..
3. Plugin a HDD and configure it for recordings.
4. Grab a Android box that can run kodi for each TV you want to use.. (or get some cheap RPi's or similar)

Simple setup.
HDHomerun (2 tuners) $100-$150
RPi with chassi etc - $50
HDD - $50 for a 1Tb disk would be more than enough... 1h of SD (usually mpeg2) content is about 1Gb.. 720p (usually h264) content around double..
RPi plugged into a single TV. No network streaming needed... Total of ~$200 that will allow you to watch or record 2 channels at the same time.. (more if the channels are on the same mux)..

More advanced setup:
2x HDHomerun (total of 4 tuners) - $200
Cheap computer - $200 .. Basically anything will work... Used a first gen Intel Atom NAS for this myself..
RPi or android box per TV.... say 3*$50
Total of ~$550 that will allow you to watch or record up to 4 channels (more if the channels are on the same mux)..

For antenna... You can go with a $10 indoor antenna if you have a good signal or you can go for a $50 outdoor directional antenna.. Or go for a DIY solution for a couple of bucks http://lmgtfy.com/?q=diy+ATSC+... ....

If you want you could extend it with a dish too for some more free channels... Or perhaps add a few IP streams for some channels that are available over the internet.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a lmgtfy that....Never mind.

Yes, if you jump to conclusions you'd think that.

If you googled it, you'd find that it's the "white mans march" they're protesting against.

It's not a very catchy slogan though, I'll grant you

Clearly you didn't even *TRY* to google it.

may I ask where this 'warmonger' label comes from?

Of course....

Show me the whole URL! Believe it or not Apple, it is useful. It's almost like they purposely turning off power users.

The 1st link quotes EMA (European drug regulatory agency):

Very common affects more than 1 in 10 people – ie the risk is 10% or higher
Common affects between 1 in 100 and 1 in 10 people – ie risk is 1% to 10%
Uncommon affects between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 100 people – ie risk is 0.1% to 1%
Rare affects between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 1,000 people – ie risk is 0.01% to 0.1%
Very rare affects less than 1 in 10,000 people – ie risk is less than 0.01%

By the EMA standard, 1.2% is almost the definition of "not particularly common," because it's common, but it's almost uncommon.

Southern US border = 1989 miles (source)
100 miles x 100 miles = 10,000 sq miles (source)

Thickness of solar wall needed: 10,000sq miles / 1989 miles = 5.03 miles

2. I have also never faked a Time magazine with myself on the cover and put it on the wall at work, and neither has anyone I know

If you google "put yourself on time magazine cover" (no quotes) you get dozens of websites that allow you to do just that, for any number of magazines... this isn't some fringe thing Trump invented.

I don't care to research them, but suffice to say Trump has been covered/reported on in Time magazine, and I'm not sure if the articles cited on the fake Time cover are real, and if real were from the issue with the fake cover photo.

Finally, it's odd and embarrassing that the photos/fake covers were on the wall at some of his golf clubs, but does it, in any meaningful way, matter?

I've been chuckling at the people who seem to think that vanity magazine covers never existed before the whole "Trump fake Time cover!!!" baloney. You can even get an app for your phone apps that will create these things.

Those metals are not "incredibly expensive". Energy intensive, yes, but...oh, what was it I said you needed?

And yes, the specific aluminum process widely used here on Earth uses consumable carbon electrodes, but that is a matter of convenience rather than a necessary part of the process, the actual process is driven by electrochemistry. The only thing required to extract oxygen and reduced metals from rock is in fact energy, in the form of electricity.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=molten+ox...

Look, this is not a difficult to understand set of reactions. If you'd do a few minutes of research on the subject, you'd see how foolish your stubborn refusal to admit this makes you appear...it's fundamentally no different from electrolyzing water for hydrogen and oxygen. There is no reducing agent required, anywhere, and when done with oxides, oxygen is a direct product of the process.

Solar thermal.

But how much does that cost?

Your assertion, and I repeat it, for your edification was: "Unlike wind we know it will never provide power at night."

Solar Thermal exists.

Which means...you're wrong. Since you're wrong on that, you should admit it. Nothing else matters, you were wrong, and you should admit it.

Then after you do that, if you care about the costs, LIUFY

Also look up the growth curve in solar installs.

Whatever. It's easy to double the installs year over year when it can't make even 2% of total output. Also, how long can this last?

Yeah, yeah, you don't want to look at it, do you? Because it shows you that it went from almost nothing, to...well, the fact is, the amount installed in the last year is greater than the entire world's capacity ten year's ago.

Do you think that solar thermal would be cheaper than, for example, nuclear? I'm certain solar thermal could ever be as "green", cheap, and reliable as nuclear. If solar thermal can't beat nuclear on carbon footprint and price then shouldn't we go with nuclear instead?

Solar installs keep delivering, year after year, meanwhile, the nuclear power plants that were promised...not even up yet, except the one that dated from the 1980s. And Westinghouse's bankruptcy, well, that's going to be expensive.

That's why I'd go with Solar Thermal, I'd know I'd get results.

It's easy to cover up for solar power shortfalls when it can't make even 2% of total output. If all that solar power capacity disappeared tonight would anyone care? I'm pretty sure they don't because it disappears every night.

Well, you're full of shit, so what else is new? People notice when a single power plant, regardless of generation source, goes off-line. In fact, six of them tripped this year already that I know about. Of course, they also follow the daily demand curve, which means they're actually quite happy to chase peak power with solar, it's good for them, better than spot-generators.

Pretty much anyone who cares to count comes up with the same conclusion. In fact, looking through the articles, you'll see that the ratio is even more skewed than 2:1.
