You're defending an argument no one is making or arguing against and all you're achieving is making others thing you were dropped on your head as a child.
What they have always quite consistently said: 1- Solar PV is inefficient. 2- Solar roadways is one of the least efficient ways of making solar PV. 3- Solar roadways doesn't make sense if you have roofs that are not yet covered or land to spare.
China doesn't need to read Slashdot to understand this, they just need to take highschool physics. But while you're being quite facetous about big public works projects which China are very good at, they mostly do it for busy work and utterly fail the cost benefit analysis of doing them.
Only some 1/3rd of the major logistic infrastructure projects make any sense, all the rest do is put the country in debt: https://academic.oup.com/oxrep...

Mind you when I lived there it was incredible to commute to work. An 8 lane highway with maybe 2 cars on it. Traffic you could only dream of.
This has been debunked over and over again. The amount of kinetic energy available in wind could power the entire planet several times over on exclusively wind before the coefficient of drag ends up having an effect on the air currents enough to cause a shift in climate.
You think a wind farm is bad, you should see what trees do! They are devastating to that kinetic energy.
Yep, because if there's anything better than one screwed economy, it's ALL screwed economies!
Population decline needs to happen very gradually as the result of baby boomers dying, and not before. After that bubble of people have stopped requiring resources we can discuss gradual decline. Otherwise countries will be properly screwed.
Not all jobs need to be replaced. If nobody makes trash, nobody is needed to take out the trash.
All you're saying here is that instead of one person not contributing to the economy there will be two people not contributing to the economy. Essentially the same conclusion as the GP but twice as bad.
Job replacement is important to prevent economic collapse. It doesn't matter if that job is important or not, what matters is that money changes hands and is further spent in other areas. One less garbage collector means one less person buying ramen. The garbage may not need to have been collected because we were missing a job, but now it's not one, or two people, but three people struggling to sustain their life.
There's a reason recession is a bad word and something that governments pull all stops to try and avoid.
Fewer means less. Fewer people need less assistance.
Yes, but you're pointing to the wrong fewer. There's fewer children to provide assistance in the future, not fewer people needing assistance. Those numbers have already been born and are grown up providing the current baseline for these economic predictions.
Economy is related to population, "per capita". You can't have a down economy if it is reduced at the rate of population decline.
You misunderstand the causal relationship. The economy will be properly screwed long before the population itself actually declines significantly. That's the whole problem with an ageing population.
Their population isn't shrinking towards extinction.
You don't need to go extinct to seriously fuck up economy, you can do that with lots of people as Japan has already found out once. You definitely don't need to go extinct to lose your culture. Desperate people in a poor economy will trade culture for survival. That means the loss of traditional art forms in favour of anything (e.g. manual labour) to put food on the table. As it is with the currently still okay economy there are almost no people below the age of 80 that know how to make a traditional kimono, or a traditional calligraphy brush (one show that I've seen on this put this number at 5 people in the entire country). Sure you can buy mass produced off the shelf crap, but that is precisely how "culture" is lost, even now. Japanese culture is already in crisis and the economy isn't even very bad.
Better get to Tokyo while you can still buy some sculpted candy. Something that used to be a traditional offering to temples around the country and a staple of street markets is now down to 2 people in all of Tokyo, a late 20s apprentice and his soon to retire master.
3) Inside the EU the migrants can claim asylum and even if they are refused they're unlikely to be deported
Using an Anti-EU tabloid as a reference doesn't really help this point here. The fact is while few migrants are deported in figures, that is only because the official figures count people who are forced out using the country's resources. e.g. 580 people were deported from Germany in 2016. While that number is low 55,000 ended up leaving voluntarily after their asylum claim was denied.
Deporting people is expensive so it doesn't happen a lot, so why do people leave voluntarily? Well it's actually damn hard to find even a place to live let alone work as an illegal immigrant in many EU countries, and as soon as your asylum claim is rejected you don't qualify for any state sponsored aid / housing anymore either. Not exactly a good thing when winter comes.
4) The numbers of asylum seekers who are likely to find work is minimal. Of the million plus migrants who arrived in 2016 only 54 found a job
Wow following up an express article with Breitbart. That is class. Speaking of I was working next to a building in Germany which got converted into temporary accommodation for people who were granted asylum. The building went in about Feb 2016 in quite a damn small town. Of the 50 people in there, more than half of them had a job by the time I left Germany (we shared some services with them including security and catering so chatted to them a bit). I find it amazing that half of the number of that reliable source all came from one little building in one little town in a little corner of Germany. They must be extremely lucky.
It's a shame that Breitbart doesn't have a printed edition, I'm running low on toilet paper.
I.e. if Turkey or Libya open the floodgates then there's nothing the EU can do legally to stop large numbers of people being dependent on benefits in the EU indefinitely.
i.e. you get EU legal advice from far right anti-immigration and anti-EU fake news sources. Shame on you and shame on whoever modded you insightful.
Lack of numbers is intentional in that it hasn't happened yet and this entire premise is philosophical and not getting dragged into the exact science debate.
But your instant dismissal of something like an area being made unlivable causing mass migration (which is a prediction of most climate models for many places on the world) as propaganda has been noted. Don't worry, as your leader has said the entire climate change thing was just invented by Jhina.
Nope, just produce the phone with a proper battery. Again there's no technical limit to lithium batteries here. Even at end of life they will happily give out 2A instantaneous power, more than enough to not only power a phone but also to actively quickcharge it when pumped the other way. The problem is really shithouse battery management circuitry, or faulty cells.
Phone rebooting due to old batteries? Shit I have a flagship phone that will a battery so fucked that it barely last 2 hours on standby on a full charge. That doesn't reboot under load, why should Apples?
"Codename: xenial" Okay cool. But that was a very techie solution to what is supposed to be the OS that would sway potential Windows 10 users to it. What really should happen is 3rd party software stop using stupid codenames that the vendor themselves obfuscate.
noted: if you need legacy support don't buy nvidia
If you need legacy support you're unlikely to throw a new GPU in a new motherboard and play the latest games anyway. This really is an incredible non-story.
Especially since there's no easy way to identify the name. There's no codename to be found on the Ubuntu page anywhere that would help link the version number to the name.
I'm actually not sure how to find out the codename other than Google. Under Ubuntu's Settings > About all it shows is "Ubuntu 17.10"
Which brings up an interesting point. Class actions are intended to punish companies not reward consumers. But with $256bn cash on hand, how do you punish a company like that?

Why would you trust people rather than trust code? The pope himself could sign it. Makes no difference.
There are plenty of applications for GPU power which does not involve playing games.
Yep, and almost all of them have addressable RAM requirements beyond 3.5GB.
Personally I would give up ALL in-flight internet for an extra inch of leg room.
Well fortunately most airlines let you buy that, often for far less than $25
The popular vote means squat in US elections, so that doesn't matter.
The parent wasn't talking about an election, he was talking about how popular a person is.
solar power is unpossible
Not a single comment has ever said that.

That's the problem. I already do this. My partner wishes she could do this. Not all of us can arbitrarily chose our work times.
1,000,000 you might see something.
This has been debunked over and over again. The amount of kinetic energy available in wind could power the entire planet several times over on exclusively wind before the coefficient of drag ends up having an effect on the air currents enough to cause a shift in climate.

Are you talking about wind, coal or oil? Because I thought you were making a point but I think that it is to stop subsiding coal and oil.

Let's blame everything on climate change, because why not?
Oh? I'm interested. Do you postulate that people in an area that are no longer able to sustain food or water would instead stay in that area?
2) To return to their origin as soon as it is safe to do so.
This has never nor will ever be the definition of a requirement for a refugee.

Which is incredibly scary given all those exploits of graphics card drivers that exist right? .... *crickets*
Seriously though, security updates for drivers? The fact they even need that is a troubling development.

Of course they can since this is likely a feature of a newer OS version.
