You smoke while eating? How utterly disgusting. Now rolling the next spliff while you gobble down a sandwich against the munchies all while not spilling the beer between your legs and fumbling for that damn Grateful Dead tape - that's how we learned to drive. Shifting doesn't even get into the picture, that somehow sits deep in the kinetic memory;)
I don't see how we need higher fields - as I said, plasma confinement is pretty much solved, and you do not even need 40T for it. You probably won't even need to continuously hold the plasma for productive operation - pulsed operation can work as well.
Well, yeah - it does indeed sound quite counter-intuitive. But, then again, show me one piece of technology that works better for generating electricity from fusion - I just can't see anything. If no absolutely surprising breakthrough happens, I guess we are stuck by running Brayton or Rankine cycles.
Sure. You get a server close to the exchange to get latency low enough to make it work. Go for it. Oh, and then you pay the entrance fee. It is - by design - for an 'elite' club of parasites that should be taken out and shot without ceremony. But I get it - you follow the classical definition of the 'free market' crowd, interpreting 'free' not as equal, but as 'free to fuck everyone over as soon as you get your hands on some privilege'.
It's not only the same information, it is even about the access. HFT has become fast enough to depend on latency, so the real players have their servers in close proximity to the exchange.
I had a chance to visit the ASDEX Upgrade experiment in Germany a couple of years ago. They showed a nice diagram of all the experiments done so far, plotting energy output to input versus time - constantly rising. The guy who led me around there was of the opinion that the remaining problems were mostly on the material side (of course that was his area of research). Plasma heating and confinement are pretty much ready - the problems lie in setting up the system for long term operation, and partly in heat transfer.
Yeah, The wit of the intellectually poor. If you cared to actually follow the developments, especially regarding the EROEI of fusion experiments, you'd see a constantly rising curve. We are at the point of breakeven, we could even surpass it, the remaining problems are largely material science optimizations. Plasma heating and containment is basically solved. But hey, rather spout a tired old meme - that'll get some herp derp from the retards that populate the internet today.
What's wrong is that he can do it and I can not. A small subgroup of parasites got enabled to leech on the system. Asymmetry, you see? The thing that should not exist in a free market...
The prime argument against HFT is that indeed the market worked fine before it. Actually, probably better. Not like the stock markets in the 60 or 70s lacked liquidity, which seems to be the prime argument of HFT proponents. HFT does one thing and one thing only - it allows a privileged group to skim money of each and every trade. Pure parasitism.
Can't comment on the American system. Around here, the question is if there was an implied expectation of secrecy. A closed board as such does usually not provide that. Just because you talk in a members only club, you cannot expect that what you talked about is not carried on to the public. Such an expectation of secrecy usually just exists in a work or contractual relationship. In your scenario, however, if such an expectation existed and someone else from the message board would run off and patent the idea, he would be liable for breaching that implicit contract. Again, IANAL(yet), and especially not yours, so this is not legal advice - particularly none suited for the US.
Nowhere does he call for building a bubble. He calls for easing off on interest to increase household spending - quite logically, if you got a trade deficit like the US and have to fuel your economy by internal spending. He cites someone calling somewhat ironically for a fresh bubble in his argument for finally stopping to strangle the internal economy. But reading comprehension - especially when it comes to comprehending rhetorical subtlety - was never the strength of the faithful apprentices of the Austrian propaganda masters.
Interesting question. IANAL and this is no legal advice, but I would generally say 'yes' unless there is at least an implied understanding amongst the members that what is said there should not get out. As always - if in doubt, get an NDA.
Ah, the lying liars of mises.org lying some more. To quote from Krugman's 2002 editorial:
" And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble."
Now that obviously gets twisted into "Krugman called for a housing bubble." Right. Sorry, do the Austrian voodoo priests have any argument at all? All I get is lies and propaganda.
Iceland was significantly more green at the time of settlement though - before it got deforested and the consequent erosion of most of the topsoil. The interior always was desert, iirc. A magnificent place, by the way.
That may work in small owner-operated business. As soon as you get corporations with diffuse ownership structure and a leader that really has no stake in the company, the decision between price and quality tends to rest on the question whether the flaws of the cheaper model have a high enough chance to only become apparent after the CEO already jumped ship with his golden parachute.
Dead wrong. As soon as you make your invention public - i.e use and/or sell it, it constitutes prior art for anyone trying to file a patent on the same thing later. If you want a patent on your invention, file before you go public. That's all there is to first-to-file.
Talking to a Siemens engineer last week, I got told that we had a peak renewable rate of about 30% of inland use during a few days with exceptional conditions these years. Meaning that basically all our nuke power got exported during that time. Well, the field is growing well. Looking forward to exporting wind power to France when their nukes fuck off in summer because the rivers are too hot - as happens every year. You can wallow in your hatred of renewables as long as you want, it is the coming thing. Buggy whip manufacturers, and all, dig?
He's just building a straw man to go "Hurr Durr!" upon. Pretty much speaks for his intellectual level. Pretty typical for the most vocal part of the denialists.
No, I just do not get how on earth you could take anthropogenic global warming as unfalsifiable. That, in my opinion, is a major misunderstand of either of the concepts. We have models predicting the future climate - if it turns out otherwise, clearly the model has been falsified. We have particular predictions - e.g. a rise of CO2 concentration will yield a certain increase in average temperature. If the CO2 conc. does rise that much and the temperature does not increase, clearly, the prediction was falsified. We see how much of the CO2 increase is anthropogenic, given the isotopic ratios of 12C to 14C - where is the lack of falsifiability?
That definition is technically true, but so bloodless as to be nearly without meaning. When you add "institutionalized worship of greed" and the principle of "might makes right" to it, you are closer to the actual reality. Which, again, leads you to the acknowledgement that exploitation of those with lesser bargaining power is an inherent characteristic of capitalism.
Which is pretty much shadowed by market domination, cost of entry and the big guns' ability to drive someone else out of the market simply by producing at a loss. When your war chest is big enough, well, you will outlast everyone.

Interesting, gotta read into that - I have not yet stumbled upon those concepts. Do you by chance have any links?

I suggest you read Marx first, before calling people that don't fit your world view "Marxist", no?

As if Japan had any significant anti-nuclear-power movement. Nice construct, albeit not from this world.

Can I get it with brass dials, tropical wood furnishings and a ballroom? Oh, and steam engines, of course!
