Yes, you can make a zero emission coal or gas fired plant.
Multiple companies have tried, and all have so far failed. Clean coal was pushed in Europe long before the orange monkey ran for president. Currently most of the projects are being sued by their respective states for reimbursement of the government incentives that often failed to produce even a single kg of sequestered carbon.
Coal is dying, clean coal on the other hand has gone through multiple stillbirths and abortions.
The model does not include the cost of nuke plants that melt down, even though we know they do that periodically.
They do? Periodically? Like continuously every couple of years or something? To date there has been one meltdown due to insanity, one due to equipment failure, and one due to a natural disaster.
Interestingly 2 of the 3 scenarios are not possible with any Gen III reactor design let alone Gen IV and the third one isn't possible with most reactors.
I think you need to look up the word "periodically" in the dictionary.... Or look up how nuclear disasters happen and why your comment is silly.
Building a new car is more polluting than the running an old car
Polluting where? Building a new car doesn't cause NOx and particulate matter to be spewed into the middle of a dense population centre. Oh and the construction and assembly of a car accounts for less than 15% of the emissions over a 5 year life. It gets paid back very quickly.
No your black smoke belching beater is not doing yourself, the environment, or anyone around you any favours.
then force everyone on public transit because owning an electric car is at this point harder than internal combustion one.
You don't live in Europe clearly.
It snows heavily for 4+ months of the year where I live. Yet, municipality is converting roads and parking spaces into bike lanes, that are unused and unusable a portion of the year due to snow. To me, this is politically driven insanity.
To me this is good enactment of policy designed to extend *your* life through pollution reduction and increased exercise. There's nothing stopping you from cycling in the snow. Get some decent tires a good jacket and go for it. According to you you'll have an entire lane to yourself.
COUNTLESS studies to IMPROVE DRAMATICALLY after a good amount of video game playing.
Indeed they have. All of these countless studies involved games that actually had hand eye co-ordination and fine motor skills, i.e. using a mouse / keyboard or a game controller.
Have you seen a child play on an iPad? They just smack the screen with their hand and get rewarded, that is assuming they are playing games at all. There is a big difference between playing with an iPad and working your way through an FPS game on an Xbox.
Tesla isn't doing that. They are producing $70k-$140k cars for the 1%.
The model 3 is at $35000 before incentives. That places it perfectly around both the mean and median new car price. soo.... Tesla producing $35k cars for the 50% would be far more accurate.
It's been more than 45 years since the Watergate break-in. Can we give the "-gate" suffix a rest already?
But it's only been about 5 years since the -gate suffix was popularised. (It wasn't watergate that did that). Also VW's dieselgate was a few years old now, and kind of in the middle of the everythinggate times.
So no, it is called dieselgate and will be referred to as dieselgate going forward. Changing it now would just make finding information about it more difficult in the future.
The funniest part of this saga is the decades that Americans had to listen to Europeans going on and on about how their clean diesels were infinitely superior to the American gas guzzlers. Turned out the whole thing was a lie and they inhaled it for decades.
And the Europeans were right. Your critique ignores the ever changing landscape of the internal combustion engine and also the ever changing formulation of the fuel. At the time where diesel shined from a health point of view, petrol was horrid. It was hell inefficient (gas guzzling), extremely dirty, had higher levels of NOx emissions, oh and spewed a shitton of lead into the air in dense population zones. But things did change over the years mainly driven by the health / environmental crisis of the moment:
Diesel sulphur emissions were brought way down. Petrol eliminated lead from its formulation. Diesel massively reduced heavy particulate matter. Petrol increased octane making it suitable for higher compression. Diesel sulphur emissions were brought down again. Petrol increased fuel economy and phased out MTBE to remove Ozone. Diesel increased fuel economy even more through new injection techniques and lower cetane values, but with the downside to adding NOx emissions. Petrol engines added catalytic converters and petrol phased out BTEX. Diesel sulphur emissions were brought down again. Diesel engines added urea injection to get NOx under control.
* This timeline is not in the correct order, but the point is both Petrol and Diesel have been under constant improvement since the 60s.
The state of affairs now: Petrol produces slightly less NOx (human health concern) than a diesel engine with a Urea system. Diesel produces significantly less CO2 (which is why there's no rush in Europe to replace it with petrol). Petrol produces slightly less smog causing fine particulate matter.
But there are two key points: The VW scandal was the result of cost cutting and fraud. The cleanliness of diesel isn't far worse of petrol engines, but it is expensive to get diesel to this point. Don't assume where we are now is where we will stay going forward. It is would be absurd to claim that either diesel or petrol has a long term future benefit over the other given the developments of the past, and speaking of the past, the Europeans were right... at the time, just like they are right now where they are banning diesel cars from inner cities more agressively than petrol cars.
What other OEM set top box has been supported that long? Is anything even close?
Nothing else is even close. Every other device attached to my TV except for the Bluray player is far older than that. Please stop applying the retarded mobile trend to every damn appliance in the house.
Yes. Reservoirs that were designed between 80 and 40 years ago and not reviewed since. Cape Town isn't the first city to nearly run out of water, and it happens in the first world too.
The point that you're missing is that unless a water crisis was addressed 10 years ago and engineering is already underway, even a first world city would have problem avoiding a potential disaster in the face of a changing climate.
...to prove that climate change is real. someday people will listen, when it is too late.
So what you're saying is "humans don't cause climate change: look at Jupiter's red spot".:-) Careful, the deniers can turn any evidence against you. Not logically of course. Not with any basis of science, but none the less anything you say will just make them believe they are more right.
I disagree on that. If you bought a decent (say 1000 dollar) laptop in 2012, it probably would have a 1080p screen, discrete graphics, and a decent CPU (probably quad-core). I got a couple of such desktop replacement laptops and they remain incredibly useful. On a laptop you can still upgrade storage and RAM.
I did buy a laptop in 2012. I replaced it last year. Battery life became unusable. Fan was always running full pelt. There was damage to the corner so it didn't close properly anymore and some of the keys on the keyboard were getting dicky. Aside from that it was also quite slow and I needed someone lighter with an SSD.
Why do you think these rules are any different to that of a phone? If you want you can have my Galaxy S1, it still does everything it used to do just as well as the day I got it.
LOL spotted the guy who bought an expensive phone and is super insecure about it.
Nope. Just someone with critical thinking skills. I don't actually have a phone I paid for. Just the one work provides for me. But good work showing you own biases towards the conversation.
There's absolutely no evidence of that. There is however plenty of evidence that the smartphone industry is now completely stagnant in terms of features and improvements.
though the OLED (what a terrible technology)
It's the worst! Except for all the others. You have a dead screen. Whoop de do. Until it got to that stage it outperformed all other technologies.
At a certain point, shooting in higher resolution just makes for ungainly file sizes for no real benefit.
Exactly.... what I would expect someone to say who has no idea of the benefits of high resolutions, including better filtering, noise reduction, and if you have a high enough resolution better debeyering too. The end result of the image may not look higher resolution to anyone, but that doesn't mean that each successive camera on smartphones haven't seen incredible gains in quality over the model before.
and all we get with each generation is more midle-of-the-bell-curve junk and bloatware.
Interesting, my S7 had less "junk" installed on it than my S5.
Since my S5 Samsung deleted infrared, HDMI, and FM radio - they tried even deleting the SD slot, and they give what bac in return? An OLED screen with even more density that degrades even faster. Great work!
hahahah infrared, FM radio. Are you one of those completely rare people who only uses the feature of a phone absolutely no one cares about? As for the SD card slot, I'm not sure what crack you're smoking. Now I use my phone's a lot. They have many hours a day of screen on time. I'm not sure why you think your OLED display degrades even faster, but my S5 is showing no signs of ghosting or degredation. Neither is my S4. My S1 however is showing faint signs of ghosting, and my S3... well that died, but when it did was in perfect condition as well. Sounds to me like you ended up with a single shit case and applied some observer bias to the technology in general. Don't do that.
You're still blowing a grand on something that will become less useful than a toaster in 5 years.
Yep just like my laptop. And just like every* desktop PC from the 80s to the mid 00s.
If history is anything to go by then people would have no problem spending that money. Especially when you consider it is the device they will interact with most in any given day.
* LOL Just kidding, we never got a desktop PC for that cheap.
I cannot fathom--for the life of me--how people can convince themselves to spend a grand on something that sends text messages and snaps selfies.
Oooh I get it. You don't know what a mobile phone is. Here, let me educate you by going the opposite extreme: https://www.theregister.co.uk/.... You may just send text messages and snap selfies, but a lot of us do far more than that.
A thousand bucks buys you an insanely good guitar, violin
Oh god. Spend all that money for something that I need to put years of effort into to play decent music with a single instrument? Personally I just use my $1000 smartphone to stream music from far more talented people than I to a nice soundsystem, when I'm not listening directly on the device in an airplane where fellow passengers may complain about the noise if I started playing guitar. *side note: I actually play instruments and I use my phone to tune my guitar.
You could buy a full VR setup.
Indeed. For $99 you can convert your shiny smartphone via Samsung Gear VR. Wait you were thinking this was a point against the smartphone weren't you? Sorry.
But somehow, for a phone that does what everyone else's does (but it loads Facebook 25% faster! omg!)
Actually it doesn't load Facebook any faster. That's no where near the most challenging task for a phone.
and will become trash within 5 years
I still don't understand why you think it will become trash for any reason other than being replaced by something better.
how... what... is EVERYONE RICHER THAN ME?
Wow what? How did we make that leap? How poor do you have to be to not be able to get a phone like this on a 2 year plan. Jeebus there's people on foodstamps with shiny smartphones. Get some perspective.
Does no one have to make careful decisions about where to spend their money?
Yes we do. And what better way to spend your money than a device that provides connectivity, social interaction, gaming, entertainment, music, movies, functionally help you through your work, office applications, and combined with something like Dex turns the phone into a full on PC in your pocket. Frankly I'm struggling with what else could give me better bang for buck.
I can live in my rental _house_ for two months (1/6th of the year!) for the price of one of those phones.
And we do that anyway.
I could build an amazing PC for a grand.
Uah why would you. Stick yourself to your desk? Sounds horrible.
I could buy a pretty damn good laptop for a grand and it would be USEFUL for at least ten years.
LOL you clearly know as much about laptops as you do mobile phones.
My wife's old i5 laptop her grandparents bought her for school 6+ years ago is still fast enough to run 4K YouTube, games, and more.
I'm sure it is. My 6 year old smartphone still does all the things it was originally capable of too. I'll wager my current smartphone is far more useful than some 6+ year old laptop as well. Plus I challenge you to buy a modern laptop under $1k that will actually last. In case you haven't seen build quality of modern devices. As for games... hahahahah yeah I'll stick with my modern phone over your 6
Actually they get plenty of water, rains in buckets, but being it's a third world shithole they don't store it.
Store it where? There are plenty of first world cities that get massively caught out by drought just the same way as Cape Town did. Most cities have not changed the way they collect and store water in the past 20 years. Major dam and infrastructure projects can take that long to actually get completed. The problem can be somewhat offset by individuals who don't have such as long process to go through, but then everyone with enough money in Cape Town already has a water tank in their back yard.
We can look forward to various outbreaks of disease and illness when it comes time for these people to actually drink it though.
You're an idiot. If you had two cards then the read would simply fail.
Don't believe me? Then google for this
Oh I believe you. Know what? The best thing about card details skimmed via RFID is how in most of the world they are completely useless to fraudsters as they can't replicate cards that require chip+PIN. Now if the USA would get off their arse and mandate PIN like in other sane countries there'd be no more RFID cloning in the USA either.
We don't. But out standard cards have been just fine accepting mobile phone NFC payments long before Apple claimed to invent the idea. Hell I rarely use my card.
As for plastic technology... who developed NFC? The Japanese working with the Dutch. You're welcome.
The article didn't make this any clearer either, I thought one of the basic principles of bitcoin was that transactions can't be reversed?
On the blockchain yes. But transactions take a long time to actually get verified in the blockchain which is why on these exchanges when you make a transaction to another customer in the exchange they may not even update it in the blockchain on the same day. It is all just written in Zaif's own ledgers, which they control much like any other bank doing internal accounting.
Hence also they are having problems with a customer who tried to move the bitcoin out of wallets controlled by Zaif.

This is a logic gate
So you DIDN'T read it then. A memristor doesn't have a gate. It's a 2 terminal passive device.
Keep trying. You'll get there eventually.
