Which is a risk with any power generation system. The transformers went offline, that can happen with Solar Thermal, Coal, Natural Gas, Hydro, (depending on setup) even solar and wind.
Every large scale power generation uses transformers, in power plants they are generally out in the open to allow air cooling. Then the transformers go offline, the plant shuts down to prevent damaging the electrical infrastructure further. This happens in solar installs to when there is damage to the inverter, so how is this any different?
There is a large scale failure of solar every single day...it is called night. Wind is a bit better about this, but having to build out 2-3 times the needed capacity to handle times when parts are not running increases the cost considerably.
Nuclear goes offline for maintenance all the time without issues, even sudden shutdowns of nuke plants are handled without issue. However, powering everything when the wind is not blowing, or the sun is not shining would be kind of hard with just renewable.
I agree, but trying to claim that solar or wind is more reliable is very suspect. Hydro could be called reliable, but even that has its reliability issues as Lake Mead's current state should show.
You know, I think you might have a reading comprehension problem. How does a national power grid making power cheaper even come close to supporting your assertion that somehow renewable energy is more reliable or cheaper? The article you linked has nothing about relative prices of "renewables" vs nuclear, hydro, natural gas.
There is the court order, please show me where they ask Apple to give them access to the software. Please show me where it says that they want a generic backdoor, compiled and signed with Apple's key that they can use on every phone in the world.
Instead, the court order asks for a single backdoor, which is keyed to a specific phone, and compiled and signed with Apple's code signing key. This would NOT give the FBI the ability to create a backdoor for every phone, as they don't have the private key used to sign a new firmware, so they are still out a backdoor. This will only give Apple the ability to make changes to phones which they support already. But I guess you don't care about facts in your attempt to accuse the FBI of something that they are not doing.
Renewable energy is more reliable than Nuclear, Hydroelectric, and Natural gas plants? Since when? How do you define reliable to twist that statement into being anywhere close to correct?
Considering that what the FBI wants is listed in the court order, you should be able to find it on your own without issue. I guess you think the FBI is somehow keeping their request secret?
I suppose you could just read the court order, but maybe that is too hard? The FBI already stated that they don't want a generic backdoor, nor do they want access to the backdoor, but I guess you know so much more than I do.
Um, have you read anything at all about this case? No one has asked Apple to insert a backdoor. The FBI has asked Apple to write a program that:
1. Remains in memory 2. Only Apple has access to 3. Allows the FBI to use unlimited guesses on the PIN 4. Allows the FBI to use a custom pin entry through the Thunderbolt port
Nowhere in there is a request for a backdoor on every phone, nor does the FBI want a generic backdoor they can use whenever they want. In fact, the first item is because the FBI doesn't want anyone to claim they can reverse engineer the backdoor from the firmware.
I was simplifying for the people with an obvious reading impediment. It was a simple as I could get...obviously there is more to it than just borders, but sometimes the simple is the best explanation for the laymen.
I am not sure how you would do that. My full sized truck has a hauling capacity of 1700 lbs, and a towing capacity of 9800 lbs (I have 4WD, or it would be a little over 10k) I can't see what kind of trailer you could get that would be able to carry all of that, and to go with a larger size truck that can tow/haul more, you are looking at F-250 and up, which costs around $50k, so wouldn't be worth it, and even then, you still need a trailer that could carry that much weight.
Democrats are just as racist as Republicans. They treat black people like they are children and prevent them from moving up by making the jump from welfare to work be extremely expensive.
Of course it is faster, it can't do half the shit Owncloud can. SeaFile is also damn expensive, 44 euro per user per year for file sharing software; Dropbox costs less than that for the pro version.

No, the information was HUMINT, it was classified at the source and had the classification markings removed. HUMINT is always classified top secret as exposing it would expose the source, who would be arrested or killed for revealing the information.
Even with all the nuclear disasters in history, and even including the many nuclear tests and two bombs dropped on Japan, coal still puts out more radiation in its ash.
Even when nuclear has the biggest disasters, it still is nothing compared to a coal plant in normal operation.
LFTR reactors cannot "melt down". The core is already liquid, and increases in temperature cause the nuclear reaction to slow down which drops the temperature. It is a passively safe design.
I am losing mod points to correct this misconception, I feel it is that important. Uranium reactors can melt down, LFTR cannot, which is why many countries are putting research money into the LFTR design. The main reason it was not pursued originally is that it is a useless design for producing nuclear weapons, not due to safety concerns.
As for Google's exact benefit? I could see them running these in datacenters: deliver 450VDC rails to all your racks and power them off a hockey puck inverter or two. Simple to scale - add more battery, more racks with inverters as needed. Everything becomes modular.
Let me guess, you don't have an electrical engineering background?
Computers run on DC, why oh why would you convert DC - AC, then AC - DC inside the case? It is far better to convert that 450 VDC to 12 VDC, 5 VDC, and 3.3 VDC and run the whole computer off that. Also, in a datacenter, the DC line losses could be pretty extreme, there may be a tradeoff in the increased efficiency in not converting DC to AC in the UPS system, but it depends on voltage and distance from the source.
As far as I know they didn't. They didn't correct for creepy fellow male students mobbing them nor for creepy professors hitting on them or for creepy co workers mobbing them and hitting on them once they graduate either.
Yeah, the same guys that can't get a date to save their lives. They come across as creepy because they don't know how to talk to women, but I guess it is more fun to make fun of the kids with handicaps than to understand that very likely you are talking about people with autism.
A scary finding of the questionnaire was that women reported their high school guidance counselors were very non-supportive of their decision to study engineering. Non-supportive is a nice word, because I got long letters that talked about how they were actually discouraged by people in their high schools. There seem to be many high schools in our country which discourage women from taking advanced math and physics courses, and, in fact, there seem to be very few women who were physics teachers in high school.
When I was in Calc and Physics (ap and regular), the class was half women. My Calc teacher was a woman, my physics teacher was a man, so what? Women far outnumber men in teaching positions, should we start correcting for that next? I'll bet that those same guidance councilors would discourage men from teaching or going into nursing, where is all the outrage? Considering my office (systems engineering) is half women, I don't see an issue, if you personally run against sexism, you should move around it or deal with it, not complain on an internet forum where there will be no effect on the problem.
They were expected to take care of household duties any way.
That is an issue in the household, it sounds like she chose the wrong husband. There are guys that would love to stay home and take care of the house and kids, those guys are considered creepy by woman like you because they are more sensitive instead of being alpha males.
And having a child is a challenge - especially since men don't get maternity leave.
It depends. When men work in white collar employment, many companies offer paternity leave, but I would be seriously surprised if anyone offered maternity leave to a man, as that would be the wrong type of leave.

But solar and wind, or even the two combined have nothing on nuclear for reliability.
I just linked the motion. Are you trying to claim what I linked is not the motion, or that it was somehow secret despite that I linked it to you?

So, a court order, asking for Apple to modify a single phone is somehow going to make every iPhone in the world backdoored? Do you really think that?

Fine, I got it wrong, it is a lightning connector:

As I am not a iPhone owner, I wasn't aware that they have a special name for the port on the phone. So sue me.
