Based on this, 1 gram of Deuterium produces 320 megawatts of power. The average American would consume the amount of deuterium found in 60kg of ordinary water per year to produce the energy they need in a year. There's enough Deuterium in our oceans to produce free power until long after the sun dies.
If you think it's bad now, wait until you have a group of unelected officials determining what items are 'necessities' and should be exempted. There's plenty of room for regulatory capture and manipulation there.
You're not understanding. NO EXEMPTIONS. Food, hospital bills, baby stuff, agriculture, everything exchange of money should result in the same tax rate. Flat tax on all sales, period, end of story.
Will someone just tell me if it's time to panic or not?
No, the conditions in that hospital were shockingly lax. From what I've been reading the hospital administration should be brought up on charges. At the very least that infected nurse should sue the pants off them. Notice that none of the people he was staying with caught it. You can only catch it by ingesting another persons bodily fluids. This disease prays on your concern for the sick. Those that care for the diseased are the ones at risk. As they get sicker and sicker, people deal with the mess and viola... If the hospital had even remotely followed proper procedures everyone would have been fine.
On the bright side, we have a drug that appears to work. There have not been clinical trials as of yet, but PBS had special on it over the weekend that most researchers seem to think that the mechanism is simple enough that they think it should "Just work" anyway. It's very hard for them to produce though. Extremely labor intensive. They literally have to inject virus into tobacco plants, wait days/weeks then extract the drug from them. But, on the bright side, they said that once a persons been inoculated their body will produce the antibodies on its own, so they can provide transfusions to others infected as long as the blood types a match. So it appears we may have this licked. Even if we only have enough drug to treat a few thousand people, they can give transfusions to others who can give them to even more people and so-on.
If it turns into a real mess, all it would take is Rich people fearing for their own lives to put up the money to start mass producing this drug. Also, it appears the Russians have a few drugs starting trails as well.
I agree with you when it comes to third party certification courses, but not when its the company certifying you in its own products - they have a vested PR interest to not endorse people who can't do the job.
You don't work with Oracle do you? Their primary marketing slogan is: "Shut the fuck up and give us your money"
Which is why there should simply be a flat use tax. You sell anything to anyone, you're paying tax. Period.
But the government doesn't want this because they use their current nightmare system to manipulate companies into doing their bidding. Hire more people, get a tax break. Lower your carbon footprint, get a tax break. All of it results in a multitude of pet projects by the government that fail, and corporations that eventually don't pay taxes at all. Not to mention that it gives those same companies huge incentives to medal in politics.
Want to get the money out of politics? Get the government out of money.
Solution? I could design a mechanism for swapping out the batteries on a pad of paper with a pencil in about 30seconds. Ever seen a forklift? I'm not sure why it's not already a "thing"
Not only that, but it would be a huge marketing opportunity. The owners of the cars would pay monthly for the life of the car to get battery swaps. They could keep track of where you drove, how often you swapped batteries, upsell you on repairs, air fresheners, it would be a marketing persons dream. The owner of the car would never have to worry about replacing a battery and the battery company could avoid some random dude driving in with a poorly maintained battery that would take out the entire block when they hit it with a gigawatt of electricity because they get to be sure it's up to snuff. It would solve pretty much every problem there is with electric vehicles. Roadside assistance could even show up and swap batteries with you if your car died somewhere.
My wife does... amazing how I can interact with other human beings and gain knowledge about objects I don't physically own ain't it?
There is very little difference between the 2 stores. There are few apps that don't appear in both stores. I find something, I tell my wife to get it, there it is and vice verse. It's like the difference between The dollar store and the dollar general. Same plastic crap.
70% of 85kwh = 59.5kwh 5min is a 12th of an hour. So to charge a 59.5kwh battery in 5 min, you would need 12 * 59.5 So a 714KW charger At 12v that would be 59500 amps. Which is insane. I can't find any sort of documentation on that kind of cabling that would require. But I can find documentation of 120vdc using about a 3inch diameter cable. Which gives us an area for the cable of about 7 inches. Given a Cable 6ft long to charge it, it would have a volume of 508in3 1in3 of copper weights.31 pounds So your cable would weigh 157lbs.
Keep in mind, this is the total volume of the copper cable. You'd likely make it braided so it were flexible and it'd end up being larger than 3in in diameter at the end. You'd need to have a crane to charge your car. I'm not saying that isn't possible, but given the amount of work involved wouldn't be a lot easier to swap out batteries like you do propane tanks on your gas grill? I mean, if there's already a crane involved. Then you don't need to amperage's so high you could weld asteroids together.
We are just as likely to find a tribe of bigfoot living on it. And no, I'm not kidding. There would have to be as much wrong with modern sience for the Electric Universe to be correct, that Vacuum loving Sasquatches would be equally as likely.
Most... and I mean 99.99% of apps in both the Apple and Android stores are utter crap. Completely worthless. Surprise surprise, after a few years your customer base has become jaded. I never pay for anything through any app store anymore. It's almost guaranteed to be garbage. Even the Free games are nothing more than gambling scams anymore. You want my money? I need to read about your app in forums, from real people.
Sometimes Microsoft knows about a flaw and simply DOESN'T patch it.
...and that's another very good point... Fixing bugs often is a "Cost benefit" thing. "It will cost us $100k to fix this and the worst thing they could get are the first names of client contacts" = Not getting fixed "It will cost us $100k to fix this and the worst thing they could get are the nuclear launch codes" = Getting fixed
With closed source, the decision to fix that is in the hands of the developers. "99% of our customers will continue using this despite the bug. We'll lose the defense department but oh well..."
With open source they can choose to fix it themselves.
The difference between Open Source and Closed source is not the number of bugs and flaws... the numbers of bugs and flaws are likely equal. The difference is the number of bugs that were found and fixed. Just as many problems exist and are as equally dangerous in closed source software. The differences is that because it's closed, they remain there, undiscovered by the general public, for a very very long time.
All of these discoveries should be celebrated. They are examples of Open source working as it should.
Isn't the end result the same? If a transparent proxy changes the TLS messages, it's filtering encrypted traffic so it's a MITM attack.
Still evil.
Yea, but this is nothing new. We'd like our ISPs to be 100% transparent but they are not. This has nothing to do with net neutrality. And their example of Verizon? That's not net neutrality. Netflix went to a peer without consulting Verizon, that is not how things are done. Verizon refused to be forced into that agreement. Yes, the FCC should address peering agreements, but they have absolutely nothing to do with net neutrality. Netflix had their bandwidth in the wrong place, hoping to force Verizon to move as well. It didn't work.
This entire article is just fluff designed to play on tech junkies fears. Net Neutrality should be codified into law, but neither of these issues are good examples of anything related to it. In fact, I'd agree that all of the issues talked about should be addressed by the FCC but their only relation to one another is that they involve "The internet"
Lets stop calling them Flight Attendants and call them what they are... glorified waiters. Yes, I understand that the pre-flgiht announcement was the only part of your job that allowed you to continued to believe you made the correct career choice when you dropped out of college, but frankly the rest of us would rather be playing Angry Birds than helping you perpetuate your delusion. It's time to move on, the announcements don't matter, if the plane goes down we're going to die. There's a tiny chance we'll survive and your advice will come in handy but in truth we'll all be screaming and crawling over one another like animals, not trying to figure out how to float on our seat cushions.
The simple solution is that the states just seed control over this particular problem to the feds. There's nothing stopping state legislatures from passing laws that allow federal jurisdiction in this area. All the constitution does is say the states can decide for themselves. There's plenty of reason for the ruling. What if the feds tried to "Cure" ethnic heritage like the Germans did?
Well, ok, why don't we just ban paper money? Give the government full access to your bank account... All transactions pass through the federal government... Crime should end overnight right?
Call up any of the big players. They'll hook you up, no problem. Data links are not expensive at all. It's getting that data from the data center to your house that's the problem. The actual link between a company like Verizon and a Company like AT&T is usually nothing more than a fiber optic cable that's less than 20ft long. That's it. All the long haul trunking you do yourself.
I suspect you're suggesting "I want this at my house if it's so cheap!" Well yea... the problem is trunking it to your driveway. There is no existing route to your house. Building that would cost millions. But if you setup your own server in a major Datacenter (like Netflix/Verizon/ATT) the interconnect to those 3 networks would not be that expensive. And if they need just as much access to their network as they need to yours (like 2 competing ISPs) then the agreement should pretty much break even. At the end of the month the 2 ISPs have departments that true up the differences in bandwidth between them. If one is using a lot more they'll send a check.
Netflix was trying to argue that the ISP had to connect to whichever peer they decided to use. This setup a precedent that if the content is popular enough, they could make any deal they wanted, with whomever they wanted, and force the ISPs to use it or setup Netflix equipment inside their own network (trust me, ISPs are very, very, averse to allowing 3rd party equipment inside their networks.) Netflix wanted partial control over the ISPs network. It should be clear why they balked.

Why?
Because the loss in economic activity that would result would kill more people than Ebola.
The Flu will still kill more people in Africa this year that Ebola. Keep that in mind.
A terrified public is very profitable for CNN/FOX/CBS My personal favorite were the stories of people rising from the dead. lol

Ok, lets do some math...
70% of 85kwh = 59.5kwh .31 pounds
5min is a 12th of an hour.
So to charge a 59.5kwh battery in 5 min, you would need 12 * 59.5
So a 714KW charger
At 12v that would be 59500 amps. Which is insane.
I can't find any sort of documentation on that kind of cabling that would require.
But I can find documentation of 120vdc using about a 3inch diameter cable.
Which gives us an area for the cable of about 7 inches.
Given a Cable 6ft long to charge it, it would have a volume of 508in3
1in3 of copper weights
So your cable would weigh 157lbs.
Keep in mind, this is the total volume of the copper cable. You'd likely make it braided so it were flexible and it'd end up being larger than 3in in diameter at the end. You'd need to have a crane to charge your car.
