They even covered it in the summary. Nuclear is expected to drop off. So what is the prediction based on? I sure hope it's not historic trends given: % coal used in energy generation in 1997: 38.5% % coal used in energy generation in 2017: 38.5%
Worse still the percentage of coal in the energy mix along with it's consumption actually rose last year (thanks India).
Why is everyone posting on here Tesla's side of the story?
The employee is speaking out now, claiming his actions were part of a whistle-blowing effort.
And? Whistleblowing doesn't make exfiltrating data any more right. This is a private company here not some secret government agency that has spent years hiding from the public eye doing shady shit.
If this was GM or Ford, the Slashdot community would trust the whiste-blower;
Oh I trust the Whistleblower for GM or Ford too. I trust that he would be prosecuted in the same way. I trust that the response against him would be the same. Tough shit, he got caught. Just because he works for a company that spends a lot of time in the limelight.
why are people here trusting the corporation instead?
Trusting with what? With firing an employee that got caught misshandling data and admitted to it? Suing the employee? Why wouldn't you trust that response, it is precisely what a normal corporation would do, and the motivations of the employee in question are completely irrelevant.
Now that said, I don't believe the employee for a second, but even if I did, tough shit, don't get caught next time. If you want praise then jump on a plane to Russia and post an incredible leak on wikileaks.
If you are brave, daring and unafraid, take your chainsaw to your "Billy" bookcase, and see for yourself what's inside . ..
You don't need to be anything to take a chainsaw to your Billy bookcase. Though if you want to make something practical out of it like I did I suggest using a jigsaw or something with more finesse than a chainsaw. What's inside it? Depending on when you bought it you're either looking at chipboard or more recently a low density wooden honeycomb which they introduced to reduce wood use while maintaining strength.
Now onto your conspiracy theory: IKEA has several products that are made out of waste, all of them are either rubber (their desk protectors) or made into solid pressed plastic like that single kitchen test example they produced, or that single chair that they sell.
What are IKEA's paperboards made of? Recycled paper. What is plasticboard made of? Normal non-recycled plastic on the otherside with a similar honeycomb weave on the inside.
Please leave your crazy conspiracy theories at the door. Sweden is running out of garbage due to strict laws that made it almost impossible to generate heating and energy from other fossil fuels which spurred development in the energy sector that spiked the garbage and recycling demand well beyond supply. They sure as heck don't stuff it in IKEA furniture.
No they don't. There are precisely 300meters worth of roads in Australia made with recycled plastic as a technology trial that one small startup did this year. I'll get to why below:
and make new roads that are 60% plastic, and last longer too, if theres one place you want plastic to last for 1000s of years, is a damn road.
All roads are made up of a large portion of plastic. However none of it is recycled. The quality of the plastic is precisely controlled and adjusted to suit the conditions of the road surface, both in load, preparation and environment. Also roads break down due to wear and external damage. All roads would last a shitload of time if people didn't drive on them, and if they weren't subjected to extreme temperature changes. It is incredibly hard to make roads to suit conditions which is precisely why the formulation doesn't rely on just recycling some garbage, but rather is a tightly controlled mix of polymers to suit the product.
There's something strange about talking about plastic waste that brings out some wild theories.
GDPR is not a good law. It will make handling personal data prohibitively expensive for small companies.
If your company is small then the simple solution is don't collect personal data. If your company relies on the collection of personal data, fuck it, I hope you go out of business and have to spend the rest of your life on the street corner of the red light district to make ends meet.
People who think that the GDPR is somehow a major burden on small companies haven't read the GDPR.
To what end? No one cares about your crappy little TB. It'll get fingerprinted, checksummed and compressed to nothing. The end result is you've wasted a lot more time than the equivalent American style of protest: simply not voting.
Given we're talking about San Francisco what really matters is the ubanisation rate, something which puts USA on par with the average of Europe. What's your excuse now?
It's like those idiot politicians in Australia saying "wows me Australia is such a big country" in response to someone 2km out of the centre of a city with a population of 2.2million people not having access to anything faster than ADSL2 with a significant cable loss.
A distinction with no difference for cars made in 2018.
And 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010. Interestingly if you have a diesel car you're running out of years prior to this where you're still allowed to drive it in European cities.
You can keep hanging on to old cars as long as you want, eventually you won't be allowed to drive them anymore.
It caused enough of a furor in the studio. Apparently they were never supposed to kiss according the the plan and it was supposed to cut beforehand. As the story goes they did several retakes each which Will Shatner purposely fouled up forcing them to use the actual kiss.
It's the lack of wanting to deal with Android Auto, USB-updates, etc. that keep me locked into used (and aging) cars.
So you're a lost customer anyway.
As for why people want it, safety is a good one. Car based navigation systems are the safest option for travel. Likewise I ripped out the radio with USB input in my previous car and replaced it with bluetooth, having a cable in the cabin near the gearstick is a huge problem.
The business association in my town are worried that replacing street parking with bike lanes will drive down traffic to their stores. Maybe you can help calm their fears!
I have heard this 100s of times. Most recently in Vienna, the Mariahilferstrasse which was a huge upper market shopping street. Everyone complained when they said they are making it a car free zone, not even just removing parking. End result, business increased. A quieter street more pleasant to pedestrians and cyclists attracts people and business ended up going up.
Extreme example but frankly no one cancels a shopping trip due to lack of street parking. If you absolutely need to bring your car right up to the store in order to go shopping, then the street parking was the wrong thing to rely on in the first place.
Short of something with an air-gap, there aren't any true single-user systems anymore.
Yes on a Windows machine and someone's tablet you'd be right. But this is OpenBSD we're talking about, staple in the server environment. Many such servers are special purpose, they do not have the ability to run unaudited code, and sure as hell aren't sitting there firing off random javascript from the intertubes.
Also while we're at it, let's discuss your Javascript example. The ability to perform a speculative execution attack relies on some deep understanding of the system and the current operating environment. Is your javascript going to speculatively dump the entire memory contents and hope for the best? If not then you've basically got a better chance of being killed by a meteorite than you do successfully initiating a reasonably untargetted user initiated attack using speculative execution.
Send me your javascript. I'll run it. I pretty much guarantee you'll get nothing out of it. Short of a system where a user has the ability to sit down and carefully craft their attack the risk posed here is non-existent.
No, it's more like someone trying to give their children a better life by robbing a convenience store.
Way to go not understanding the point. In other news you're also robbing a convenience store. You have a job don't you? How dare you take that opportunity from someone else you criminal.
when they know the consequences have been the same for the past 20 years.
You have to be a special kind of retard to think the consequences have been the same crossing *ANY* administration. Just because a law is on the books doesn't mean enforcement, consequences, application etc have not changed. There's a reason we didn't criticise it the past 20 years, and none of that had to do with people not coming over.
It's somewhere like 0% or 10%, depending on what you're doing. Not a whole lot.
So what you're saying is that basically all the hype over Spectre is completely overblown and everyone should just run KPTI and stop complaining about 10%?
Evidentally 10% performance is only important if you can blame Intel, not if you have to blame OpenBSD.
And? The punishment fitted the crime. The fine was for telling customers that their warranty was void. They separately also had to compensate customers, and Australia has a history of escalating punishments for repeat offenders.
If you do something like this as an individual? That is, purposefully destroy something of someone's, for profit? And in a fraudulent way? And then publicly lie about it, further compounding things?
You forgot about the bit where they then promptly issued a fix after the outcry.
But your rant is irrelevant. The fine had nothing to do with getting an error 53. The fine had to do with telling customer that they had no right to warranty if their phone had been repaired (false under Australian law). Also Apple had to separately pay compensation to 5000 customers.
The punishment fits the crime. You don't arrest people for j-walking, you slap them with a $50 fine which is about as annoying as a mosquito bite to most people too. The distinction here is that this entire case was based on the premise that Apple said 3rd parties aren't authorized to repair something. They created this Error 53, and then fixed it before the ACCC even got involved.
This mosquito bite is for making a deceptive claim and nothing more.
Bricks can't be given a "fix" that turns them into a smartphone.
You're talking about a problem that required complete and full intervention from the manufacturer to correct. The end user had something as useful to them as a brick and it was only through the will of the brick factory that they were able to be given something else.
I'm okay with this use of the word brick. If the user did something that they can undo then it's not a brick. But if the user requires intervention from the manufacturer then you have created a distinction without any practical purpose. By your definitions bricks don't exist because functioning hardware can effectively always be returned to life by a manufacturer.
And as for "has anything to do with it" - do you think Obama invented Obamacare?
Nope, the name and most of the shit in the bill is definitely the result of Republicans. Obama had a plan for universal healthcare, not what he was forced to push out through concessions.
Welcome to the USA. The rest of the world saw it on Netflix at a better quality and with surround sound that CBS never broadcast in their home country.

he should throw out all the employees and close the factory until he can re-staff it with oompa-lumpas.

We've seen numerous movies and video games where faux 'diversity' has been crammed in solely to try to promote a leftist agenda.
Yeah, one of those is known as the original series of Star Trek which among other things had the first black woman to kiss a white actor on screen.
