No, it would slow down, relatively smoothly. And that is assuming that the leak wasn't detected nice and early and the system throttled down,because, you know, pressure sensors dont exist.
You do realise that a 'wall of air' is kind of hard to keep in one place, right? it tends to leak in to the low pressure area right next to it.
Of course, blasting or injecting a deformity/object in front of the 'train'? that would be very very bad. Rescue efforts would be very difficult also. Drilling in to it and leaving the drill stick down in the tube, nicely sealed, would be much MUCH worse than letting air in.
Pretty much every nutritionist I know believe religiously in the food pyramid. By an enormous factor they have bought in to the far terrible, meat bad, grains good cute of the world.
They are also hardly ever scientists. In fact most nutritionist qualifications involve exactly zero science or medical training.. Because it is not a damn science, it is a job title, more closely related to marketig, and not unlike economics.
Go talk to a research human biologist some time. Suggest a nutritionist is a scientist to them, then listen.. You may learn something.
So no. You are talking bullshit. They are very involved in this, and have made a ton of money out of people's misery.
Stop spouting pseudo science rubbish. Big complicated words that actually carry very little meaning in this context just flag you as part of the far nutritionist cabal I'm afraid.
The fact is that there is very little wrong with the chips as part of a balanced diet, but certain people can not get the 'oh no they are not natural!' rubbish it of their heads, and think that is science.
There is exactly zero better about the Apple as a source. It happens to contain more of some things and less of others. Get over it.
This is the number one problem in for sciences, it had devolved into a bunch of touchy feely 'facts' that actually are very far from the truth. Much if this is because marketing lies to you, and you believe it. That makes you a sucker, not a scientist.
The anti dairy far is an almost perfect example of this, not to mention the decades long cholesterol/eggs bs.
There is nothing at all special about fruit, except that it is easy to market and sell. I know several fruitarians, they are terribly unhealthy people who get stuck with great regulatory - but they cannot understand the concept of a balanced diet.
The number one factor these days is just eating too damn much. Eating is an addiction for many, and making your drugs of choice more fancy and exclusive (which is almost modern diets do) is the oldest trick In the pushers game.
Eat a wide range of things, avoid sweet things in general, and eat less! Accept that being hungry from time to time is good for health, eat until you are not hungry, not until you are full.
Then get on with other things that actually matter.
Funding! huge great gushes of happy lovely endless FUNDING! Think of all the new layers of middle management they can pay for with this!
Of COURSE no one will check the science behind it, because NASA! After all, building over priced launch systems that slip by years (well, actually managing them, they are built by contractors at hugely overinflated pork prices) is EXACTLY the same thing as geoengineering!
If you can even say that then you dont have a god damn clue about 'oriental' food. I guess you cook 'both' types of food right? 'oriental' and 'western'? the difference is if the chilli sauce is sweet, right?
I am pretty sure the rather highly acclaimed pastry chefs (sorry, keeping the words simple for you here) I know don't do great 'Wellingtons and Eggs'.. My local Malaysian/Chinese chef does about 30 pretty damn fantastic and authentic dishes, but cannot fry a steak properly.
But dont worry, I am sure your are right, food is all just generic. Just checking, you are American, right?
Remember kids, Panem Et Circenses. Those who dont study history are doomed to repeat it (no, thats not the translation, for those who cannot be bothered thinking..)
And therefore you know why they have selected it? This is just another 'cut off the funding to anyone who we dont agree with/like/feel share our morality/spoke against us/etc..' Kind of like the Obama driven banking attack on the 'immorals' isnt it.
Totalitarianist regimes likes to paint their power grabs as 'morality' and 'fairness', oldest play in the book. The Stalinists did it, the Maoists did it, the Nazis did it.. I have little doubt that the Romans, Greeks, etc etc did it also. I would be surprised in good old Ghengis didnt play that game also.
Well put. However I suspect you will receive no reply.
It is important to remember that the Left to not embrace their failures, they deny them, or claim 'it will be different this time' They also deny their damage.
Basically, they dont believe in responsibility,m at least not for themselves.
If there is a queue at a restaurant, then I certainly wont be going, and anyone joining the queue will either be waiting forever, or have to be told its a fake?
I have to wonder what type of people would be spending their time doing this. They have enough money for a smartphone, and to look 'smart' in some demographic way, however their time is worthless enough that they can afford to be paid (I assume not much) to stand around doing nothing...
It shouldn't take more than a quick look in the door to see that the place is empty, and yet there is a queue outside;)
The actual amount of electrical energy in a battery is generally not a major hazard - the issue with LiIon batteries is much more closely related to the use of Lithium in a state that can then continue and amplify the reaction (the energy is not minor, however the two together is the major hazard). That is why the energy in a car lead acid (starting, not electric drive..) battery is not much of a concern in a crash - there is a ton of it, and it can discharge strongly (enough to melt steel), however it tends to do so in a way that doesnt create a sustained high temperature fire.
The issues with this research however are more likely to surround what is not said. 10% loss after 60 cycles is not particularly great - however that is a low number - does is stabilize or accelerate to a quick death? What does the self-discharge curve and time look like? (that is often a major factor). What is the discharge voltage curve like?
The headline is f course throwaway - nothing of the sort is claimed.
The safety issue of LiIon is already solved, LiFePO4 batteries are better in almost every way, however have a minor weight/size penalty. They last many more cycles, have a better charge/discharge voltage curve, react much less violently to failure, etc. Of course since they would cost just a bit more, no one talks about them - since then, you know, they may actually be pushed in to consumer devices.. We couldn't have that.. you cannot compromise profitability with safety!
Sadly we can chalk up another 'win' to groupthink, oppression of minorities, and censorship.
Really, isn't the best way to fight such complete stupidity to keep it in the open? Isn't censoring such people just making them feel more targeted, and therefore strengthening their solidarity?
All this has done is give a bunch of disenfranchised idiots more reason to hate..
Shine a light on them, don't chase them away to skulk in the dark, where they will do what they will do without anyone watching.
Look at what a horrific disaster all those exploding reactors have been on navy ships and submarines! When will people realize the horror of nuclear reactors! Radiation! Radiation!
Not to mention the ecological disaster that there would be if evil radiation were to leak in space! Do people not realize it is the one truly pristine environment left?
Every single ONE of the radioactive RTGs that we have sent up on rockets has caused untold deaths! The chemical rockets on the other hand make rainbows brighter and butterflies more colourful!
They are not being given a tax break on profits, they are being given redeemable tax credits which they can trade directly for CASH each year. So, it all becomes a simple matter of applying the Apple/Google/etal tax method of pushing a whole ton of 'licensing fees' back to china to make sure the factory never actually earns a dollar, and then claiming those nice fat credits yearly as cash payments.
No wonder Foxconn are considering more factories in the US - its basically free money.
The major factor here is mostly votes I suspect. Basically the local politicians can use public money to buy 'jobs' (at obviously stupid prices, as ITS NOT THEIR MONEY, so they dont care). The locals get pummeled with 'we bought new jobs! tech ones even!!' in elections, and vote accordingly. The downsides for the politicians are small, and far in the future (never pays off, jobs evaporate, etc), so for them its a win. for the locals? not so much (to say the least).
Remember folks, a politicians ONLY priority is to stay in power, or even better gain more power. They sometimes rationalize this to themselves as 'helping' because after all, they see themselves as the best person to be in power.
The only rational solution is to vote against over pending politicians, however the majority doesnt see that, so it is bordering on impossible.
Democracy only works when coupled with *personal* *responsibility*. As that has basically been eradicated in public office jobs throughout the west certainly (but not exclusively), democracy is now just a way to swindle the voters.
Solutions to this are all shot down HARD as not being 'inclusive' or 'fair' - which is likely why the powers that be are pushing such concepts so hard these days (and no, I dont mean removing womens votes, so dont play that stupid strawman, there are plenty of incompetent voters from all genders, beliefs, walks of life..)
Just remember folks, you are paying the Chinese to give you a few measly jobs back, and you are paying more than the jobs will ever return... Does it feel good?
Sorry, you were expecting this person to actually have a clue about how indexing works, how long it takes things to get indexed, how complex pageranking is, and the very VERY small chance of hitting the front page for a site that is new and not very crosslinked in its first year of life?
Ah yes, this is slashdot, you SHOULD be able to expect that, sadly those days are long, long gone.
You find hour long regular times convenient? That's... Special.
Electric cars are still waiting for battery tech.. It will probably come, however it is not there yet.
Then of course there is the requirement to triple the residential electricity grid.. How hard could that be, right? And I'm sure power process won't go up... No sir.
However (and I have worked on fuel injection systems) if they do not run it lean, they will be running inefficient. Pretty much all of these engineers run lean, it helps efficiency a lot. There is pretty much no way around the efficiency/NOx tradeoff. Claiming this should have low NOx is simply not possible, more likely they are running a diesel style post infection system.
I would suggest that if that is their intention, they do not know Mr Perens very well, and have not done their homework. I suspect they are currently experiencing bit of a surprise in the reaction to their attempted strong-arming.. I also suspect they are rather wet-behind-the-ears (at least their decision makers) in the area of kernel security, to try such a play.
They are trying to play a legal-loophole game, when never goes down very well with the kernel maintainers, to say the least. And they have quite possibly forgotten the fact that the maintainers could make their lives a LOT harder basically at well, by making their patches unworkable in subsequent releases..
Or they could just say sorry, and hope that they get some forgiveness - I am betting they wont..
Actually you are completely wrong there. A SJW will happily call someone who is not part of their selected 'victims' group all of those things, and more. Remember, sjwism is not about helping anyone, it is about sticking it to 'da man' so to say. Not that I am saying you are an sjw, just pointing out your characterisation of them is dead wrong. Of course you also happen to be dead wrong in your argument above, and your reasoning does seem to show signs of a lack of critical thought associated with lots of handfeeding and claims of authority without any evidence.
How about I mention that the largest problem in universities is the lack of entry filtering, by which I mean 80% of the people there should not be, and that that detracts hugely from the education of the 20% who should be? And that those 20% are the dedicated intellectuals who are willing to forgo other things in their lives and dedicate themselves to academic research?
What happened is the NIMBYs and 'Green' movement (intentional use of quotes since they are usually clueless knee-jerkers who know sweet F.A about the actual environment) made the whole thing a political football resulting in 300-400% cost increases pushing it to the borderline of economic.
'We' could quite happily produce them for a sensible price - and the Chinese are. All that needs to be done is not intentionally pushing the costs through the roof for no actual gain in safety, efficiency, or production.
Actually, that is a tiny bit unfair, it is also caused by certain corporations who exist on government style cost-plus contracts using regulatory capture, and who cream billions of dollars by making things cost as much as possible.
However, it is clear that exactly ZERO of the problem is the ability to actually produce cheap effective safe nuclear power. In fact what we are doing now is forcing the burning of more fossil fuels, and the lifespan extension of older and less efficient/safe reactors. Congratulations Greenpeace et.al.

No, it would slow down, relatively smoothly.
And that is assuming that the leak wasn't detected nice and early and the system throttled down,because, you know, pressure sensors dont exist.
You do realise that a 'wall of air' is kind of hard to keep in one place, right? it tends to leak in to the low pressure area right next to it.
Of course, blasting or injecting a deformity/object in front of the 'train'? that would be very very bad. Rescue efforts would be very difficult also.
Drilling in to it and leaving the drill stick down in the tube, nicely sealed, would be much MUCH worse than letting air in.
But no, and air leak is not a major.

They are buying Apple because they are American? ;)
Got to keep those jobs in china and cash in Ireland, after all! go America!
Still, knowing how procurement contracts work, I am sure a few people in the system are running their hands together and ordering new boats.
ROTFL, 'Oriental' is a cuisine?

Ahh, sweet racism, you like that card, dont you? Makes you feel better inside?
Yes, no doubt, it seems to be Republicans blocking people off campuses and controlling who is 'allowed' to speak, doesnt it..
Antifa have just got to work on their wardrobe though, the shirts are BROWN prople, not black!
Ah, I had also managed to completely ignore it.
Let me check..
Mayweather wins.. I guess that means something to someone (and if you didnt want to know, I dont give a shit)

After all, you can get more damage, more quickly, if those are not up to standards.
Well? Amazon?
No, didnt think so..
