It would make sense for organizations with such similar goals to have similar symbols. Then again, I can understand being concerned about being associated with another organization over which you have no control.
Seattle has great farmers' markets, so he has no excuse. If you want fresh produce to be delivered, get a CSA. Many places (like Seattle) can have fresh produce delivered to your door weekly. The money also goes more directly to the farmers producing it.
I don't think the first foray into space mining needs to be profitable. Just think of it as R&D for future space mining projects. Everything learned from the first trip could make later trips much more efficient and worthwhile. How profitable was landing on the moon?
One danger would be that a badly managed project could kill everyone's interest in future projects.
I read the papers (http://alpha.chem.umb.edu/chemistry/ch471/evans%20files/Net_Energy%20solar%20cells.pdf). They assume slightly below average conditions for a variety of different areas, and different types of cells. The worst scenario was still under five years for payback.
You keep stating "assuming constant peak utilisation according to the source." The source doesn't assume this.
if a person wants to mod their game or do whatever to enable it that's on them and I completely support that, but i don't think it should be forced on everyone, that's not really right.
You are correct, nobody should force you to play a game that has content you don't want to see. So who is forcing you to play this game?
So if someone is shooting at your ship, he would rather be the guy patching the holes than the guy piloting the ship who makes sure you get away safely? I would rather be the pilot.
Another good one in the area is StudentRND, in Bellevue. I went to one of their meetings where everyone was soldering arduino motor shields in a big, garage-type work area.
There are actually a bunch of different hackerspaces in Seattle, though.
This sounds like it could be much better than the current system, which constantly churns out new editions to keep the used book market at bay. This way could be cheaper and produce less waste.
Deep cycle batteries are a type of lead-acid battery. The Leaf uses lithium-ion batteries, which behave very differently. Still, lithium-ion batteries should never be fully discharged, which may be a risk with his modifications.
Any program that measures charge is making a educated guess based on the past behavior of the battery. One of the people interviewed for the article states: “Until you can find out how much is really left in the batteries toward the end of its range, it’s just a guess-o-meter.” Any indicator of charge is making a guess. Perhaps his program is better at guessing, or maybe he just leaves less room for battery health, but any program that works to tell lithium-ion battery charge will have to take into account the discharge profile of that battery (which is non-linear when measured by voltage).
This brings to mind a great tactic that could be used undermine climate change research:
Scientist 1 publishes a grim study with inflated numbers. Scientist 2 reveals that Scientist 1 is wrong. Incident is used to discredit all climate studies.
This is a great point. They can actually make more money off of the fewer customers. What they should actually be worried about is the perception of the loss and the apparent stock decrease it is causing.
Still, I think they could have managed this a lot better. I'm one of the people who canceled.
The problem is that this article badly summarizes the results of computer modeling that is supposed to represent human interactions. Apparently the tipping point for their simulation is 10%. Without seeing the actual original research findings, it is difficult to see if this actually matters, but the available article seems to say that the 10% is irrespective of network structure.
The computer simulation seems more analogous to a disease outbreak than to an idea. Imagine a percentage of people are zombies. They can only attack their friends, who can fight them so long as they have more living than dead friends nearby (I am assuming here that it is 51% that is needed to change status, but who knows what the actual research used). If they don't, then they switch sides and spread the outbreak. So the simulation might be saying that if 10% of people are initially zombies, then mankind is generally doomed. If it is less, then the outbreak will be contained.
I also find it interesting that the study was funded by the military.
I noticed that when I was looking at the unmoving dots, I saw them as individuals. As they started moving together, I reinterpreted them as a single mass made up of dots. It would be interesting to see if the effect is the same when the dots are moving in different directions and at different speeds.

Terrible name.
Lloyd Alexander's Prydain series for fantasy,
I liked this series better then the Narnia books when I was a kid.

Because mercenaries worked so well for them.
It's two different game models for two different games, why would that be hypocritical?
I'm sorry, but steel isn't a chemical, and doesn't have a chemical formula since it is not composed of molecules.

So I RTFA. What I didn't see was whether there was a point to it or not, unless it was to point out insecurities.
Yes, video game ratings are a trifle compared to deciding whether to default on your loans or not.
