In fact, if I fail to reproduce a result, my first instinct is to dig deeper and figure out why. Usually these paths lead to something interesting and unexpected. That's how our knowledge advances: one person asserts one thing, another person fails to replicate it digs deeper and uncovers additional information. That's how it's supposed to work.
If you can't reproduce it, it's either fake or you were just being sloppy. Either way, it's no wonder ordinary civilians have doubts.
Or there was a hidden variable controlling the results. It's not always simple and reproducing results can be difficult if you don't get everything exactly the same. Just because I can't reproduce somebody's result doesn't mean their necessarily lying or wrong. There could be additional slight differences between what I'm doing and what the original author did.
Weird. I see ads on my TV's native youtube player but have never seen a single one when using the youtube app on my phone with the chromecast on my TV.
Good god I hate the ads so much. Are they intentionally made with the goal of being as annoying and cringey as possible? I'm especially talking about that one with the mom that bribes her kid, through a lawyer, to do his chores with a granola bar. *shudder*
Thanks for these comments. I fully agree with your view on this. The free market argument for censorship has always seemed a little "bullshitty" to me and you've done a great job putting that into words. I'm not great with words but I will remember yours.
I think this last 9 years of "growth" has some major differences with the past. Interest rates are still low which maybe encourages jumping into the stock market. There hasn't been much change in productivity, earnings, or salaries though so it doesn't seem like anything grew except the stock prices. Isn't that odd? I think when the Fed put the banks on life support they just delayed the crash. We've been limping along for 9 years during the slowest recovery ever, and I think maybe it's because we didn't let the crash happen. Maybe these prices are artificial. Maybe it's because the Fed bought up all the bad assets.
I completely agree. I worded my post too strongly after re-reading it. The important thing is that millenials work to the best of their ability and not sell themselves short. There is still opportunity out there for young people.
Not my experience. As a millenial, I've been working since I was 16, I've always showed up on time and worked my ass off. Today I'm a successful R&D scientist in a rapidly growing company. If millenials have anyone to blame, it is themselves and the barrage of the media telling them how and why they'll never make it.
Yep, Musk is now receiving the same slashdot/media bias that conservatives have been receiving. Guilty of associating with conservatives, no doubt. What a traitor!/s
Yeah, they want to live in a post-scarcity economy despite the fact that scarcity is still a thing. The scope of some social projects proposed by the left like free college tuition or free health care could not be paid for even if you liquidated the entire economy.
Why not turn the breaks on when climbing stairs and walk using the wheel as a foot? We can clearly see from the video that it can balance on those wheels. Why couldn't it walk on them?
First, power is the rate of energy consumption. Energy is the amount of stored work. The summary refers to power, but they mean energy.
Second, this has been done before. The problem with using a metallic cathode is that when the battery charges Li ions move from anode to cathode and crystallize back into Li metal. During crystallization they form tiny needles called "dendrites" which eventually pierce the polymer separator and cause the battery to short-circuit, rapidly releasing all of the stored energy in the process. If there was a way to prevent the dendrite formation, that would truly be an important discovery. Sadly, this is not it.
Yeah, which had nothing to do with protestors, who the police did not remove, blocking the gates (gates which were not used in the past). It took a while but people filled up the mall.
Anyway, what does this have to do with anything, let along climate change?
He's not propping up coal, he's removing some regulations. He's propping up coal in the same way that removing regulations from solar can be considered propping up solar.
While I appreciate that you aren't screeching incoherently like many liberals, the tone of your post is very patronizing. I agree that the media need to start presenting "the whole truth and nothing but the truth" rather than pushing a political agenda. War between Washington and the MSM will have no victor. MSM loses viewers, citizens get misinformation, and the administration gets dragged through the mud. Nobody is benefited by this adversarial relationship. The last year and a half have been a disaster for people's trust in the MSM and it needs to end. Look, I'm not a Trump cheerleader and I'll criticize the administration when they make a misstep, but they've only been working for a couple days and have already achieved some great things. Why don't we judge the administration by what they do instead of by what the MSM says they might do? I'm troubled by your assumption that everything coming from the Trump administration is terrible and awful, don't give in to the knee-jerk responses. It seems like they have some very valid viewpoints in the Trump administration and I hope that people like you can keep an open mind rather than blindly following what you've been told by CNN & the like. Look at some of the results and fulfilled campaign promises after just 1 working day...
The keystone pipeline will help us become a producer of oil rather than an importer. We're going to be using oil for a while longer until renewables reach the cost and capacity needed to replace fossil fuels. This is just common sense. We might as well be producing instead of importing.
The leader of ISIS is "critically injured" or possibly dead according to many reports following a joint airstrike
TPP is dead
Hiring freeze in place for Federal gov't, respecting the tax payers money
Working with unions and industries to bring back jobs
TLDR; please keep an open mind. Dems aren't right about everything and Trump isn't wrong about everything. Please judge for yourself the results we've seen in just a couple days and be critical of what others tell you. Step out of your echo chambers once in a while.
Look, you're ignoring the greater picture. Renewables have been replacing essentially all of our decomissioned power plants for a few years now, and there's no reason to believe that won't continue. We're going to continue using oil anyway since renewables aren't yet able to cover all of our energy needs. Right now that oil is purchased and imported from other countries. We would really like to be producing oil rather than importing it. What the pipelines will mean is fewer oil imports from those foreign countries, lower prices, more jobs, and less debt. The phase-out of fossil fuels will take a while, be patient.
I get the impression he is pressuring China on Taiwan to gain leverage in Asia. Think back to all the hyperbole he's used, it's sort of like he's anchoring the discussion to an extreme side before starting negotiations. It's a simple tactic but has worked well for him apparently.
By improving lives, I meant revitalizing America's manufacturing industry, spending less overseas (hopefully), and blocking economic immigrants from coming into the US illegally.
Yes, there has been lots of nonviolent conflict with the news media and the Democrats, but I expect that to die down. Disclaimer: this is anecdotal, but lots of people who were far out on the left (Not my president! Trump is a Nazi!) have been backing away from that. I think the shrieking from the really really crazy people has made them want to distance themselves from the Democrats, at least from the time being. Also, I'm noting lots of positive emotions regarding TPP especially after Bernie came out with his support.
Anyway, when I said "avoid unnecessary conflict" I meant unnecessary *military* conflict. As in, I think Trump is serious about killing ISIS, but I doubt he'll want to start a shooting war or a proxy war with Russia/China/etc.

Yeah, but for some reason ads never come up when I'm using a chromecast on my TV. Is that a bug or a feature?

Certain *ahem* governments are dragging their feet doing anything about it
Let me guess, this is somehow Donald Trump's fault?
Is it because of the oil pipelines that aren't there yet? Which are going to transport oil that we'd otherwise buy from the middle east?
Other than joining the Paris accord (which we are still a part of), what exactly did the previous administration do to address this?
I am sick of issues that have been going on for a long time being blamed squarely on a President who has been in office for just a couple weeks.
Hahaha nice job ACs. Data isn't allowed on /. AND YOU KNOW IT!! ;)

Better to be lucky than to be smart, for sure. But determination trumps both.

And he did so by restricting travel from countries that possess around 10% of the world's Muslims? Sorry doesn't add up.
Why not turn the breaks on when climbing stairs and walk using the wheel as a foot? We can clearly see from the video that it can balance on those wheels. Why couldn't it walk on them?
A couple major issues with this writeup.
First, power is the rate of energy consumption. Energy is the amount of stored work. The summary refers to power, but they mean energy.
Second, this has been done before. The problem with using a metallic cathode is that when the battery charges Li ions move from anode to cathode and crystallize back into Li metal.

You're post is just speculation. Investment in coal is on the decline: http://oilprice.com/Energy/Coa...
Trump said he wanted to decrease regulations, not increase investment. That's very different from the picture you are trying to paint.
Look, you're ignoring the greater picture. Renewables have been replacing essentially all of our decomissioned power plants for a few years now, and there's no reason to believe that won't continue.
