77 sqkm=77e+6 sqm
Solar constant approx 1300w/sqm
=>total incident power = approx 1e+11 W.
Declared output 4000MW =4e9 W.
if assume this to be the peak power, the conversion efficiency is 4% - WTH??
if assuming this to be power averaged over an entire daylight period.... mmmm... let's ignore axis titl and assume equatorial position=> (-pi/2, pi/2) Sun's ecliptic travel over daylight. Cosine law integrated over the (-pi/2, pi/2) gives a factor of 2, while the max area (if the sun would be straight on top the entire day) would be pi. So, an averaging (fill) factor of 2/pi=0.64.
so, if we are speaking 4000MV averaged over the day, the peak power would be 6283.18 MW. Dividing to 1e+11W=> conversion efficiency: 6.28%.
What type solar panels are they going to use??!!! The regular/consumer grade PV panels are somewhere around 11-12%!!
You targeted the unnecessary use of one of the two adjectives. I would have asked what he did with the ugly one.
Naaaah... as I'm well aware by direct experience: beauty it's at best a metastable state. Given enough impulses and pumping... and the system looses all the excitation and falls onto the ground state (ugly, that is). Empirically, seems like a rule that applies no matter the sex, religion, race, etc.
The classic 'American dream' is possibility. It's the idea that anyone can potentially work their way to great success, regardless of starting position. Even if they are born in poverty. It may be very difficult, but it can be done.
You know? There is a difference between possibility and probability. To exemplify: there are higher odds you'll be injured on or near your toilet than it is to win the lottery - and, lemme guess, one necessarily takes more frequent chances with a toilet than with lotto (if you know what consequence I'm alluding here).
There are plenty of examples of people who did it via some mix of skill, luck and hard work. This is in contrast to the old way, where family background defined one's role in society to a much greater extent.
Well, one doesn't need search hard to find those thousands that lost (and were forgotten in the next minutes) for every one that has been a winner.
I guess I can take break to ponder a bit over the necessary vs the sufficient. See, being cautios, having hope and staying positive, persevering and keeping cool will go long way in overcoming the obstacles and may seem like a necessity, but... even if you deeply believe in you, better stop kidding yourself: having rich parents is absolutely sufficient and certainly helps more than any and all the above.
For the impatients (or less inclined to ponder the nuances) here's my point: it is not entirely the fault of the voting constituients, "absolute-or-rate comparions" won't matter too much if all that's on the different plates to choose from is the same shit in other presentation
American dream (as perceived from outside): if you work hard, you are going to be successful no matter how stupidly -as opposed to smart- you work.
I might be wrong, but I feel that the majority of mid-class americans are incurable dreamers (or were bitten by the tsetse fly... many times over).
It's not quite wrong (after all some believe hope is a basic human right), even if it doesn't do them - the dreamers - any lasting and concrete good.
I guess a lot of Americans hate smart people, don't they?
It's only human to be upset when disturbed (however lightly) from a wet dream, isn't it? I mean, one worked hard and climbed towards the climax... only to be denied of it.
I believe Network Neutrality legislation will do more harm than good. Quality of service and IP transit costs are governed by complex market forces today.
You may be or may not be right about the complexity. However... as a paying customer for Internet service, why should dealing with this complexity be my concern? You really think Network Neutrality will destroy the Internet? I'm rather inclined to think that there are technical solutions and there will be carriers willing to implement them and continue to survive.
I highly recommend 'The 2014 Internet Peering Playbook' by William B. Norton.
Maybe, just maybe... it is actually the carriers that should read it and find the solutions the consumers need/want?
Isn't this called search engine spamming, and several publishing outfits have been doing it for about a decade, with varying degree of success?
While it may be SEO spamming, I'm inclined to see this as an attempt to outsource the cost of indexing.: On the line of: "You fools, I have a trove of papers you are drooling for. What about... I'll let you index it by whatever your brilliant minds discover it works the best for you, then I'll use it to increase the value of my trove"
Getting cocaine to rub over the bills to enhance their authenticity requires hanging out in some dodgy neighbourhoods.
That is what stops me from doing it.:P
If you don't hang out in these neighborhoods, a sincere good luck in the Muhhamad/mountain dillema (avoiding them coming in and hanging you out).
As a matter of rule, the U.S. can always pay back its debts by printing enough money to cover that debt.
True. And while US politicians might not give a damn whether the Chinese hate us, that would devalue huge amounts of debt held by US retirees, banks, and small investors, and they do vote.
I meant to say that taxes don't actually fund expenditures since the government can print money to pay for any expenditures it authorizes.
Printing money is, effectively, a tax on everybody who happens to hold money.
No wonder the conservatives fight as hard as possible to "starve the beast" even when doing so straves everybody else: after all, they are ahead in the race and don't like to be given a handicap.

Seven Deadly Innocent Frauds of Economic Policy is absolutely gorgeous. Not flawless (better said... not a complete exploration of the consequences), but an eye opener on what "fiat money" is, why is not an absolute evil and how to look at it in a non-dogmatic faith-based way.
Code review time! This function is not optimal. This is better:
public String getSum(int numA, int num2) {
if (numA == num2)
{
return "" + numA << 1;
}
return ""+(numA + num2);
}
Much better, see?;-)
Oh, god... I don't know where to begin, but let's try:
* no code comment. How's the mainteners going to understand what's going on?
* function returns left right and center all over the body. If seriously hurts the ability to debug/trace (suppose I put a breakpoint on line 6. There will be cases it won'y be hit);
* returns of values computed from expressions: how do you inspect the returned value in debugging mode without actually returning?
Let's try again:
public String getSum(int numA, int num2) {
// always initialize your vars with something you can detect when changed
int retVal=Integer.MAX_VALUE;
if (numA == num2)
{
retVal = numA << 1;// faster than *2
}
else
{
retVal = (numA + num2);
}
String toRet = "" + retVal;// good to have something to inspect/change at debug time
return toRet;// a single return statement at the end of the method
}
Oh bullshit!... I work for a pay check. Period. Anybody who says anything else is either the boss, lying or disillusioned.
Oh, bullshit. After being in various management position more than half of my career, I picked a SoftEng position in a research joint. Highly interesting and demanding on the quality of the output but relaxed in regards with delivery terms. Not only I'm able to readjust and catch up with the technologies I missed while acting as a manager (oh, boy, how many they are), but also leaves me time to try something on my own.
Consider this: do you want to retire from an employee position? I don't, thus the more relaxed (but still meaningful) job that I do is more rewarding than other highly-payed-but-no-liberty ones

Did they pass SOPA when I wasn't looking?
They "distilled" it into TPP.
In a sudden burst of common sense, seems that that (the/some/idnk-what-percentage) Dems are opposing Obama on this one.

Last time I checked, it was over $40 a galon 128 fl oz.
Yeap, it starts at $45 now, but can get as high as $120,000.00 (+$13.49 shipping).
