Solar is to save fuel, for the moment only to limit CO2, it's not economical. Gas is to have reliable power.
The investments in gas plants might be inessential, but that's completely orthogonal to their investment in solar. The solar investments would almost certainly increase electricity prices... but of course that's not something mr. Mayes wants to say outright, lying by omission for the public interest, how fucking noble of him.
That like everything else in crypto at this point, is just a hobby project for a bunch of bitcoin millionaire crypto-autists (and wannabees). If you were to actually use it you end up with a completely separate "petty cash" bitcoin account, which you have to pay the massive blockchain fees for to top up and which take fees to keep in existence. It's matched by bitcoins from a third party, who will not lose liquidity for free like some of the bitcoin developers seem to think. Losing liquidity has an opportunity cost which would have to be paid.
An obtuse, costly, unusable fucking mess... even by bitcoin standards.
It requires massive investments of bitcoins by intermediators, the user and fee model is obtuse to normies, even compared to normal bitcoin. It will never have wide adoption for internet payments, even compared to normal bitcoin.
As Carmack said : "Stick yaw control is such VR poison that removing it may be the right move -- swivel chair/stand or don't play." Shame he couldn't convince his employer to ship with a ceiling mount HDMI+USB slip ring so you could actually fucking do that.
The swivel chair should have been part of the default control scheme for VR... so it wasn't just a couple of genetic mutant who could enjoy free motion inside the 3D world. Sure that would have been a lot more niche and unappealing to the couch users Facebook wanted to woo, but at least it wouldn't have been complete garbage.
That depends, if they are all Creativity members talking about their church doctrine and how it relates to current affairs they are protected from discrimination.
US Civil Rights Act and protected classes trump freedom of association after all.
The graphene layers in graphite aren't well ordered though and as the original poster said though, the ratio of the length of the fiber to it's thickness is massive... so small forces might add up. Impossible to say without actually doing experiments (the physical models are too poor to put much faith in).
There seems to be a bit of controversy in what keeps graphite together and what to call the forces, some call it Van Der Waals, some call it metallic bonds... suffice to say, graphite does keep together. So there is a force there, the same would be true for a bundle of these nanotubes.
By the time they are teens kids should be able to learn CS without a meat puppet hovering over them in a class, one somewhere far away behind a computer to help them occasionally should be enough together with good parents to keep them motivated.
Sure it's a noble goal to try to rescue kids from bad parents, but it's an uphill battle... attack the problem at it's source first and foremost, parenting classes in high school rather than CS.
Easier to feed your kids biologically grown produce under Trump than to keep them away from the propaganda causing an exponential growth in the number of kids identifying as cross gender under the left.
Apple in particular has 100's billions worth of reputational mindshare build partially on protecting privacy... lying has a significant monetary risk for them since every lie has the chance of being found out, what would offset that cost for them?
The entire point of this story was corruption of the supply chain, a huge conspiracy involving the factory bosses being bullied by the communist party.
If it's just a couple computers it makes far more sense to simply intercept the computer during shipping and then quickly modify it.
I assume that if NSA really wants to lowjack hardware they simply make their own chip of something already on the board, using some materials which react with nitric acid and/or some pyrophorics to make sure anyone trying to decap them won't get any evidence. Much lower chance of detection.
In this purported case the Chinese could easily have done the same, why put a chip in between flash and the BCM instead of just putting an extra die in a custom flash chip and replacing the entire chip?
With the amount of equipment you can store in a shipping container you can drill a hell of a lot deeper than 10 feet. A motorized baptist well drilling rig won't even take a 10th of that.
Yes, fossil water depletion is a problem... but if you try to cut trees to get water you aren't going to improve matters, those trees take a lot of water to grow too and without careful soil conservation you're likely to make things go from bad to worse.
If there is sufficient groundwater to allow renewable forestry resources to grow, there is sufficient ground water for a pump... which isn't that much work to install with the amount of equipment you can fit in a shipping container.
You can use thermal storage for PV generated electricity, the round trip efficiency is pretty dire but if the electricity cost is low enough it doesn't really matter.

Sure, say after a tropical storm ...
In the short term more solar would make electricity more expensive, thus electric cars less attractive, thus creating more smog ...
When there is a freak cloudy but humid day people still want to run their air-conditioners.
Solar is to save fuel, you still need the gas plants for backup.
How exactly is solar going to fix car exhausts?

Also required by common sense ... it will end up in undecidable conditions all day every day.
There's always the alternative, make the choice for others.
If an infertility virus was spread and the only way to have kids was an expensive IVF procedure ...

A few women and the overwhelmingly young white bearded men who champion them.

Electricity costs many orders of magnitude less per kWh than a rocket booster.

Organophosphates won't make their dicks fall off.
It's observable for farm workers.

So the solution seems to be to not allow women to work on farms.

Self sustaining? How much wood grows in an area with a recurring water shortage?
The growing plants also need water ...
