While i do hope it comes to being able to service economy electrics as cheaply as gas models, it isn't probably for 20 years minimum as you say, perhaps longer - i hope we both see that day. Until then i expect electric cars to be like printers where its almost a better idea to buy a new car than replace the battery. At least in a hybrid replacing the battery isn't too important, it's a base 40mpg economy gas vehicle. However, at the risk of you will not like it (been modded down quite a bit) for a fixed amount of money, for perhaps 80-85% of the worlds population, the best thing people can do to reduce co2 isn't electrics its economy gas or even better modern diesel. Hybrids are good, even better than electrics for co2 per mile in 85-90% of the world, but simply cost too much.
sadly we don't see subsidy for vehicles based on co2 per distance in each region, 10k usd modern economy diesels (with a 7-10k subsidy to get them there) would do the most good for the most people until the electrics and hybrids make more sense. If you live in a few select places in Europe, have a 50-100k usd solar installation (which subsidy for is great) that's great electrics are the best choice for the enviornment. Sadly when science is overridden by media and manufacturer hype, even people who don't think critically here on/. we all seem to lose.
Those are some valid points. I really hope the giant battery factory in the works brings down the price on all lithium batteries. However, even economy electric cars have 10k usd battery packs - for the low end cars it's a major percentage of the vehicle. Additionally while you may not 'need' one your already low end range will be reduced by a significant amount. It's pretty amazing they get nearly the same technology that lasts 3-5 years in a phone or laptop and extend it to 8 but honestly it's pretty likely people will abandon perfectly good older economy electrics due to the massive battery replacement costs.
Not at all. You Are about a hundred billion years premature. Right now dark energy is having a negligible effect, only just now accelerating the expansion noticably in recent cosmological time. the main effect is the hypothetical light cone from the Big Bang to the present - nearly the same as the last scattering neutrino surface. The visible universe (visible light after reionizarion) is not 'expanding' but previously disconnected locations in space time (last connected only during inflation) are coming into view at light speed. Thus each second we can see farther. At this point in time it has almost zero to do with any expansion or space injection. It's something that is mis-represented to the masses and is a common mis conception. As an example your own two eyes see different 'observable' universes - each can 'see' a few inches beyond the others visible universe.
The visible universe is slightly smaller than the hypothetical light cone originating at the time of the big bang. The last neutrino scattering surface is closer to this hypothetical size. The hypothetical light cone is what defines the surface area of the universe, inflationary models, relativity, etc all show how the shape and size of the visible universe is observer dependent.
that said the 10km cubes come from the free energy associated with representing a classical definate spatial location of all the stars with respect to independent observers. The number of states does scale with temperature but no case is given for discarding other normal warm matter in the universe - making the framework sloppy at best in my opinion.
If you mean a single measurement of velocity there are numerous examples. One being a radar gun. You send out a known frequency of photons, they are reflected by the object being measured, and the difference in frequency is measured. The velocity stretches or compresses the reflection. This could be done with a single photon.
What you posted is correct. However for technology that evolves continuously, such as the bluetooth standard/hardware, the cip effectively continues the original filing date in spirit as backward compatability and older standards become irrelevant to the market. It's often done in layers every few years as well. It kind of comes down to the if you gradually replace each part in a ship is it the same ship argument, there are those who say it is.
If all you object to is infinite then that is perfectly acceptable. You lost me at we have nothing outside the "bubble" as that is subjective to the point your own two eyes see a different bubble and is therefore pretty disingenuous to say we have nothing outside it. It's pretty damn obvious from CMB measurements and the lack of any repeating large scale patterns the actual universe is substantially larger than the visible.
I doubt you work in a physics department as a contributing member. The reason is that all measurements done, such as with the feature size in the cmb, imply a extremely large to infinite size. Honestly it bothers me, to the point of claiming the offender is misinformed or intellectually dishonest, when we can see another 186 thousand miles each second past the previous limit of "the observable universe" bubble.
Not all interpretations are equal. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki... The objections raised on the wiki article are generally true, please show me how you can define collapse mathematically and explicitly. Invoking philosophical "common sense" arguements about classical objects dosent count.
If you replace simulation with indeterminacy due to the multiple worlds interpretation of quantium mechanics it also dosent require much information from weakly interacting events. I always thought collapse was such a ill defined, mathematically clunky and non-symmetrical contrivance it had to be bs. It makes much more sense, at least to me, that you never really collapse the wave function; only the local appearance of it when you arrive at a definate outcome and that a vast multitude of states, just as real, exist with the slight appearance of randomness left over after these states bifurcate.
Slashdot has been on and off broken since it was down for a full half day - attributed to a drive failure and subsequent corruption. I've been suspecting something has been up for about a week.
Actually the visible universe is only 1,000 th or so of the minimum size of the actual universe as predicted by inflation measurements. Each second we can see another 186 thousand miles, revealing new 'observable universe'. It's predicted that the actual size of the universe may in fact be infinite, as nearly all plausible inflationary models predict infinite size.
Not sure if you are describing it correctly. They are not basing it on the plank length. They show that if you do the energy density of the universe is off by 117 orders of magnitude, close to the 120 orders off if you calculate the energy density of dark energy from first principles. The 10^4 km isn't totally at random, it's based on the free energy associated with encoding a center of mass classically in such a way as to make it unambiguous to independent observers.
IANAP but it still smacks of numerology because the paper does not make any basis for why the mass of stars is important in any way. There is plenty of ordinary matter not in stars, black holes etc. what would have caught my attention is if it made a case based on mass and not just stars. Or at least gave a relevant basis for why it is negligible to discard non-star matter.
tl:dr numerology. Though props to the author for saying it can be easily dismissed as numerology in his own paper - that's good scientific method.
It's a continuation in part. IANAPA but it's basically tacking on improvements over previous granted filings. Its done for many reasons, one of which allow a patent to continue to be held by upping the filing and thus expiration date. Another way is to file the application but dink around for years before it gets approved, thereby getting the original filing date as priority date, extending the expiration date, and being able to effectively troll people who didn't realize something infringing had already been tied up for years in the dark, wet, slime dripping from brick prison I imagine is common for uspto people to work in.
Pretty much yea. It's either hilarious or sad that people take relatively obvious predictions about the future and assume that everything is exactly the same but that prediction when it's beyond obvious that is not a possible scenario. Just like people freaking out about strong AI. Sure a super carrier could wreak havoc in 1400 but it's not a huge deal today. Just like the first AI won't be first for very long at all and by then we will likely will have had far more trouble from augmented humans and human hackers.
It's even more complicated because thc is only one of a multitude of active drugs in thc. There are quite varied kinds of highs, due to differing amounts of these chemicals, making a really rigorous study that much harder to undertake. Further, as many have said, there is no test to see how high you are, unlike bac for alcohol, which yet further complicates a study.
one thing is clear though, there are very few drugs on the planet that make for worse driving than alacohol. It's a perfect blend of removal of common sense and motor control that even heroine, crack, LSD, etc... have trouble competing with.
It dosent matter if you are more likely to have an accident or if you even caused it. If some dumbass swerves over the median at the last second and purposefully head ons your vehicle, through no fault of your own, and you have smoked in the last three weeks, expect a criminal conviction. In the united states you are liable because of bullcrap laws assigning fault to everyone so insurance companies profit - aside from any drug use. But if you test positive even the judge will just assume, despite evidence, you 'did' it. Sure it makes no rational sense, but that's what will likely will happen.
Absolutely not! Only fancy expensive materials have small scale structure. Why the very famous buysumberg principle alone states if you try to look and see without paying its indeterminate, simple introductory business laws at work.
seriously though, http://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki... if you had a 'perfect' crystal of metal, such as is common microscopically, the strength of pure metals is around 1000x that of actual samples due to defects. Basically defects pre-stretch the bonds removing most of the needed energy needed to make them slip. Controlling how the defects occur through easy to apply processes is exactly how its possible to easily change the properties.
We already have steels approaching 10x stronger than mild steel, I'm not sure what they are even trying to say. The complete lack of any details, along with fantastic nebulous claims smacks of bs. Perhaps it's like another poster said, it improves tensile load bearing in corrosive enviornments which can seriously weaken parts and make them susceptible to fatigue.
Ahh yes i misread. It's not even possible to convict someone of false rape in the USA. I respect women in general but have no respect at all for those who lie about rape, on either side. It's the women who lie that make it so much harder for the women who don't - not to mention the innocent people.
I'll assume you are serious here. Gay sex involves anal sex in case you aren't aware. A large reason that they have a higher transmission rate is the anal sex vs vaginal sex. It's not about irresponsibility. You are comparing apples to oranges.
You are right no one can change my mind, only facts can. And 40 mpg is efficient fossil fuel equivalent not hybrid - i can't take you seriously when you fail to read at a 3rd grade level. I used that study because it is highly biased toward electric vehicles, if they admit it it is quite likely true, if not overinflated. The reality is modern diesels far outperform electrics in 80% of the worlds population. Not everyone lives in Finland. Just keep closing your mind to facts and you can continue be part of the problem with global warming and this planet in general.
In the period of the review, there were 5,651 prosecutions for rape and 111,891 for domestic violence. During the same period there were 35 prosecutions for making false allegations of rape, six for making false allegation of domestic violence and three for making false allegations of both rape and domestic violence.
So you know, there's some conclusive research you can look at.
That's not research its public records which aren't very accurate. I'm not sure about Europe, either in case law or in social pressures, that's true. However you can be assured the actual false claims were higher considering that it takes a pretty high level of evidence to convict someone. Assuming no false convictions (a dubious assumption) there is around a 30% margin of people who are acquitted - some may be false accusations with no substantial evidence. In the United States its so taboo to even suggest the claim is false you need incontrovertible evidence to even stand a chance. The reality is a study would likely reveal a false reporting of rape much higher than actual conviction rate.
And still to this day aids is a huge concern to homosexual males simply because they equate not being able to knock their partner up with safe sex. So we know with absolutely certainty that that will not happen, a large significant population will use this instead of using a condom; And many of them will die, but not until after they spread AIDs to even more people. There are no technical solutions to anything that are worth a damn. The onyl solution to pregnancy and STDs is common sense, unfortunately this "solution" will only act as a smoke screen for many.
So let me get this straight (no pun intended). You are saying gay people will use the male pill as a replacement for condoms thus increasing stds? Wtf lol. Education, free birth control and free condoms are a much better option.
