It doesn't leave a huge chunk of space behind the screen just gathering dust. Same goes for desk-space. With the price it will be marketed at (which TFA is only guessing at around $15k) they should really offer some furniture that goes seamlessly with it, in stead of that aluminum stand.
On the other hand... people who could actually use it will not be able to afford it for at least a decade or so. Well... apart for some rich folks roughing it in tiny and overpriced apartments at exclusive locations. Or execs hungry for that empty desk feel of superiority. The kind that comes with a tiny penis which also needs exterior assistance to roll upward.
Also, not needing to be flexible, they are more efficient. Komatsu's TEGs can pull off about 7% efficiency, with their dT at about 250K. Or about 1 Watt per square centimeter.
It's not 15.8 Watts per square meter. There are 100x100 square centimeters in a square meter. It's 1580 W/m2.
Price or how long it lasts are pointless. TEG in case is a product of a lab experiment. As in "laboratory conditions". You'd need to be boiling one side of it while keeping the other side of it on ice in order to generate that meager amount of power.
I.e. Under environmental conditions NOT found in nature. The kind that humans and most their electricity-using toys can't survive without heavy temperature protection.
Get it down to a delta of about 10-30 K... then it MAY be usable in winter cold, while sucking heat from your body. 4-5 K would make it usable in summer heat.
On the other hand... you could use it as a solid state Peltier cooling pants if you pump enough electricity into it. Condensation and freezer burns might be an issue though. As well as the size and weight of the battery pack.
It's 1.84% efficient at a temperature difference of 105K.
I.e. You can't use it to power anything used by creatures made out of protein who are not wearing a full-body heavy-duty protective suit. Protein coagulates at around 70C. Pain threshold for humans is around 50C.
Delta T for this generator is 105 K. In other words, to get that 1.84% you need to put one side of the TEG on ice, and then boil the other side of it.
The module exhibits a maximum output power density of 158 mW cm-2 at dT = 105 K, corresponding to an efficiency value of 1.84%, which is comparable to a conventional bulk TEG.
On the other hand... Average surface area for adult men IS 1.9 m2 or 19000 cm2. Meaning that human body wearing a full-body TEG-suit would produce ~3000 Watts if doused with gasoline and set on fire. I only hope Apple users record themselves powering their devices that way. So the rest of us could laugh at them longer.
Germany is a civil law country. As in civil-ized. A single court case in a Podunk German town is nothing but a single court case in a Podunk German town. Thus, a country doesn't get turned upside down every time a senile judge in Lower Bumfuck forgets his meds.
Although common-law systems make extensive use of statutes, judicial cases are regarded as the most important source of law, which gives judges an active role in developing rules. For example, the elements needed to prove the crime of murder are contained in case law rather than defined by statute. To ensure consistency, courts abide by precedents set by higher courts examining the same issue.
In civil-law systems, by contrast, codes and statutes are designed to cover all eventualities and judges have a more limited role of applying the law to the case in hand. Past judgments are no more than loose guides. When it comes to court cases, judges in civil-law systems tend towards being investigators, while their peers in common-law systems act as arbiters between parties that present their arguments.
Much like Randy up there. People who hear "television" and think "tv shows". The equivalent of people hearing "newspapers" and thinking "funnies".
At some point you'll get to a place where thinking about television from a linear standpoint will be like dial-up internet," says Hulu CEO Randy Freer.
Television is NOT sitcoms and movies. News will always be linear. Sports will always be linear. Current and live events, be they annual things like music festivals, elections or talk shows or even things like "reality" shows - those will always be linear. Because time is.
Watching how a five- or ten-year-old (or a clueless CEO) uses an information medium may be interesting from an anthropological point - but it does not determine the medium. It's like saying that since everyone can now listen to podcasts and music on their portable mp3 CD players with full two minutes of anti-shock readahead - no one will listen to the radio anymore, grandpa.
That's not communism. You're describing fascism. Also, confusing several points in order to fit them with your metaphor.
Central planning in a corporation is done not by a committee responsible to the lower ranks in the corporate society, but to personal and outside money interests. In communism it would be the other way around.
Similarly, in a corporation workers tend not to own the means of production - unless they themselves own the controlling interest in the corporation AND are the ones dictating the future course of the corporation. Again, you'd need that for communism.
Democracy... Oh boy... That one is a prerequisite of a prerequisite for communism. Literally. Control of the government MUST be in the hands of the people for any kind of a community-based system. It is quite literally a government of the people, for the people and by the people. Why do you think all those supposedly communist regimes kept sticking "People's republic of..." or "Democratic this or that..." in front of the name of the country?
Free market disallowed? WTF are you even talking about here? Free market within a corporation? Of what? Lunches? Office supplies? As for communism... It's not against free market. It's more like market free. You know... like how atheism is not a competing religion to other religions - it's a "don't need it" alternative. The idea is that after the population seizes the means of production, including government and democracy, it will run so fuckin smooth that everything will be for free. Sorta like bitcoin, but not just for money - for EVERYTHING.
Punishment of dissidents etc... That's clearly veering off into description of a totalitarian system there - which is not a necessary function of communism (it's supposed to be a counter-solution to such systems) nor is it present solely in nominally communist regimes. "Needs of the many", political power being corrupt, official narratives... none of that is endemic to communism. Those are bugs (or as in setting the well-being of a species/society above that of the individual - a feature of biological existence) common to all social arrangements, not just governments.
BUT... you ARE forgetting to add an essential feature of a corporation - a battle royale competition with outside interests. I.e. State of perpetual war with the final goal not of peace, liberation or even dominion - but of expansion through destruction and/or absorption of opposition. Add that to the mix and you have genuine fascism. All it lacks is goosestepping - most corporations already feature some kind of uniform for its minions.
Communism, again, would be closer to a hippy collective... a commune if you will. "Check this thing out man. It's like... freedom from the oppression and toil, man. And brotherhood of humanity, like, everywhere man." It's really a great concept. Much like FTL space travel, eternal youth, matter replicators... Maybe with robots, free energy, free health, free education and a comprehensive realignment of personal goals away from consumerism and sectarianism and towards personal growth and achievement of both individuals and the humanity we might get to something akin to what theoretical communism should be. But not bloody likely in this century. Maybe in the 23rd?
That said, I'm not sure that the study isn't bullshit, but just because people from big oil are attached, doesn't necessarily invalidate it.
They are not just "attached" to big oil - they are nutcases. That "crazy scientist" stereotype? That's them. And not just crazy - also ignorant. And dishonest. See above for links to earlier retarded notions of people who run this kinda "research" about windmills and how they create global warming.
There is a real non-zero risk of fossil fuels becoming banned worldwide unless there's a solution to counteract it.
Let's say I have that same non-zero amount of money in my pocket. Would you sell me a burger, a pair of shoes, a suit, a car or a house for it? Now compare THAT to the value of all the oil sold in the world in a day.
Yeaah... Not really the same kind of incentive is it? That non-zero that's supposedly in play (only if you're into conspiracy theories) and that other very-much-not-zero counted in trillions of dollars annually. Clearly, they must be shaking in their boots, fearing a "global ban", with such a tiny hold on the global market.
Which is why they are investing in crappy PR-usable "studies" by people spreading FUD about renewable energy. David W. Keith was also against solar just a few years ago, until he got called out on it by the scientific community, using some very basic math. He claimed solar cells were heating up the atmosphere more than the coal plants they'd be replacing. Because they're black.
These guys are not your "scientists for the science's sake" or even "scientists for the benefit from research sake". They are corporate shills with an axe to grind with the rest of the scientific community. I.e. Cooks and loons no one ever took seriously - apart from some corps looking for some PR FUDer.
Oh and BTW... study IS bullshit. It talks about tens of thousands of flights of non-existent planes (12000 flights in 2035, 60000 in 2047), which would have to be designed and built, reaching the number of around 100 planes, flown from some 40 global bases, spreading millions of tons of SO2 all over the globe...
It's a mad scientist's masturbation fantasy for a Jules Verne world of an Earth with no borders, but one where ecology is not yet a word.
You know... kinda thing a dishonest cook might come up with and a corp's PR department might finance cause it's cheap in comparison to their lobbying budgets.
Acetaminophen/Tylenol/Paracetamol is NOT easier to overdose on.
Fentanyl has an LD of 3.1 mg/kg in rats, and 0.03 mg/kg in monkeys. Tylenol has an LD of 338 mg/kg in mice (oral); 1944 mg/kg in rats (oral).
I.e. It is much easier to OD on fentanyl. BUT... and this is the part people don't IIRC...
There ARE more OD's on tylenol than on fentanyl... primarily cause it is so common and cause a lot of those happen with small children, due to their weight ratios being more favorable for an overdose. BUT... and it's a big one... nearly all those overdoses on tylenol ARE NOT FATAL.
About 50,000 people are admitted to hospital each year in the UK due to overdosing on paracetamol According to the Office of National Statistics 219 deaths in 2016 were linked to paracetamol, up from 182 in 2012 Pills are usually 500mg, and over-the-counter purchases are restricted The British Medical Journal says any dose of more than 4g or 75mg/kg over 24 hours for an adult is classed as an overdose Overdosing on the drug can seriously or fatally damage the liver Intravenous acetylcysteine is used to treat overdoses and treat hepatotoxicity
Also, if you're munching 500mg tablets four times a day to kill the pain or fever, you're already half way to what constitutes an overdose - though it is clearly FAR from an LD, even in mice. I.e. People are "overdosing" on tylenol in a very "better safe than sorry" use of the term "overdose".
But have no fear. Trump has the best vaguely human-shaped leftover protoplasm working on it. And it has already found the cure! Amazingly - it's ice cream and fries! Whodathunkit!
It's really tragic actually... To think that thousand of lives could have been saved if only someone got those people to a McDonald's in time... Who knew it was really that simple?
Carbon Engineering is funded by several government and sustainability-focused agencies as well as by private investors, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates and oil sands financier N. Murray Edwards.[5][6][7]
TLDR: It's a bullshit study, created for the benefit of dirtiest of oil industries, so they could have something to point at and claim that burning tar ain't really that bad, all things considering.
Wouldn't putting some people in protected classes actually be hate against those left out or protected classes? You're literally telling them they have less value as humans...
Usually, this is where I point out that you are either criminally stupid, mentally ill OR so desperate to try to defend hate speech that you seem to have a pathological need to goosestep around with a torch in one hand, while doing a "Look at me I'm a stupid who'll end up being called out on this FOREVER" salute with the other and at the same time crying like a little girl that you are being oppressed by minorities, women, small dogs etc. as you're marching your way out of the gene pool. Usually.
Thankfully you've provided us with a gem like this:
"The Nazi Party: Regulation of business, gun control, national healthcare"
So why bother calling you a pathetic Nazi snowflake, Lynny Cock... When it is quite obvious that you are also a cunt. Which is funny... A cock which is a cunt. You must be some kinda Mengele experiment your greatgrandpa smuggled up his ass. An ass cock cunt.
Does your granduncle wear you up his ass too, for rectal stimulation? Or does he stick you on his cock while he fucks your mothersister? And how do you breathe? Gills? No wonder you feel like an outcast. Even for a Nazi cock cunt it must be hard to breathe like that while you're being cucked by your own depraved kin. Family gatherings must be dizzying for you. Due to the lack of oxygen while being passed around all day.
As I was saying before some basement-dwelling snowflake downmodded me...
I doubt that there's enough force in Trump for cybering. Even with Viagra. He's just completely curdled on the inside. No wonder he can't go out when it rains anymore. Pressure difference probably has him lying on the floor impersonating an African lungfish.

Brain becomes jaded and you read without noticing individual characters after a while.
But it's all bullshit anyway. I'm from Bosnia. We have three official languages (actually not even properly different dialects) and two official alphabets. Both are phonetic and identical in pronunciation.
I will often pick up a book and only hours into it realize that it is actually printed in Cyrillic. Once you learn to read words without spelling out each character you lose the sense of the print. The underlying language and meaning remain the same - which is what you are reading and writing. Thoughts and ideas expressed through language - not characters of an alphabet. You recognize the meaning encapsulated into a collection of symbols, you don't reinterpret each symbol from scratch. E.g. You read both Sarajevo and Capajebo the same way.
Unless you are trying to make a political thing or a joke out of it. But that's a whole nother box of turds.
And one gets more exercise from sitting on a bicycle seat while pedaling to work than from sitting on a bus seat while being driven to work.
Writing is a completely different action from reading. From a neurological, physical... from any point. Taking notes by yourself is another level entirely. There's literally nothing to compare that action to reading different kinds of fonts other than that both are probably done in a classroom and that both probably use the same alphabet and language.
It's not even comparing cycling to sitting on a bus... it's comparing effects of cycling uphill to being shown a video of cycling on various kinds of screens and projectors.
If a person with a degree in astrophysics published a paper "proving" that the Earth is flat, could that person still be accurately described as an actual astrophysicist? Or would a description like "a fuckin flatearther loon" be more appropriate?
I.e. Should we blindly accept the authority of a piece of paper they have hanging on the wall in their office, OR should we take in account their actual words, actions and results when deciding on the validity of their work?
Similarly, if a person with a degree pushes marketing nonsense with little to no scientific proof behind it - should we consider that person a scientist and their thinly veiled marketing campaign a work of science? Particularly when we're talking about fields with known "issues".
Eating a "solution" of 1 milligram per 1 milliliter means eating solid matter merely soaked in whatever solvent is used.
E.g. 1 milligram of sugar per 1 milliliter of water scaled up to, say, kitchen measurements, equals to taking a cup of sugar and pouring an exact same cup of water over it. Which is, technically, a solution. But it's more like a paste.
Stuffing mice with a paste made out of artificial sweeteners is NOT a proof of anything but their voracity. And we already know that. Those little fuckers will eat plastic lawnmowers and electrical insulation. This is just another one of those fraudulent studies aimed at reaching a foregone conclusion.
Might as well suggest that one learns better and retains more memory about things seen through scratched up and filthy glasses. Or by listening to a lecture while outside someone is tearing up the street with a jackhammer.
This is what happens when we allow behavioural economists and marketing people dabbling in psychology to be treated like serious scientists.

Trust and belief are not the same thing.
One favors independent verification, the other abhors it.
Also, there is a name for belief in science - it's called cargo cult science.

It doesn't leave a huge chunk of space behind the screen just gathering dust.
Same goes for desk-space.
With the price it will be marketed at (which TFA is only guessing at around $15k) they should really offer some furniture that goes seamlessly with it, in stead of that aluminum stand.
On the other hand... people who could actually use it will not be able to afford it for at least a decade or so.
Well... apart for some rich folks roughing it in tiny and overpriced apartments at exclusive locations.
Or execs hungry for that empty desk feel of superiority. The kind that comes with a tiny penis which also needs exterior assistance to roll upward.
Automotive thermoelectric generators ARE a thing... but from what I can tell they've been at the prototype stage for decades.
Also, not needing to be flexible, they are more efficient. Komatsu's TEGs can pull off about 7% efficiency, with their dT at about 250K.
Or about 1 Watt per square centimeter.
It's not 15.8 Watts per square meter. There are 100x100 square centimeters in a square meter.
It's 1580 W/m2.
Price or how long it lasts are pointless. TEG in case is a product of a lab experiment. As in "laboratory conditions".
You'd need to be boiling one side of it while keeping the other side of it on ice in order to generate that meager amount of power.
I.e. Under environmental conditions NOT found in nature.
The kind that humans and most their electricity-using toys can't survive without heavy temperature protection.
Get it down to a delta of about 10-30 K... then it MAY be usable in winter cold, while sucking heat from your body.
4-5 K would make it usable in summer heat.
On the other hand... you could use it as a solid state Peltier cooling pants if you pump enough electricity into it.
Condensation and freezer burns might be an issue though. As well as the size and weight of the battery pack.
It's 1.84% efficient at a temperature difference of 105K.
I.e. You can't use it to power anything used by creatures made out of protein who are not wearing a full-body heavy-duty protective suit.
Protein coagulates at around 70C. Pain threshold for humans is around 50C.
Delta T for this generator is 105 K.
In other words, to get that 1.84% you need to put one side of the TEG on ice, and then boil the other side of it.
The module exhibits a maximum output power density of 158 mW cm-2 at dT = 105 K, corresponding to an efficiency value of 1.84%, which is comparable to a conventional bulk TEG.
On the other hand...
Average surface area for adult men IS 1.9 m2 or 19000 cm2.
Meaning that human body wearing a full-body TEG-suit would produce ~3000 Watts if doused with gasoline and set on fire.
I only hope Apple users record themselves powering their devices that way. So the rest of us could laugh at them longer.

Paracetamol overdoses
About 50,000 people are admitted to hospital each year in the UK due to overdosing on paracetamol
According to the Office of National Statistics 219 deaths in 2016 were linked to paracetamol, up from 182 in 2012
Pills are usually 500mg, and over-the-counter purchases are restricted
The British Medical Journal says any dose of more than 4g or 75mg/kg over 24 hours for an adult is classed as an overdose
Overdosing on the drug can seriously or fatally damage the liver
Intravenous acetylcysteine is used to treat overdoses and treat hepatotoxicity
Also, if you're munching 500mg tablets four times a day to kill the pain or fever, you're already half way to what constitutes an overdose - though it is clearly FAR from an LD, even in mice.
I.e. People are "overdosing" on tylenol in a very "better safe than sorry" use of the term "overdose".
Meanwhile, DEATHS from overdosing on fentanyl in the US and its analogues has gone up from ~6000 in 2014, ~10000 in 2015, ~19000 in 2016 to ~29000 in 2017.

Author of the "study" is Gernot Wagner, an economist and a co-director of Harvard's Solar Geoengineering Research Program - with David W. Keith.
Dave-boy also likes spraying sulfuric acid in the air as a solution for global warming, while arguing that more windmills will cause "significant warming" (which IS bullshit BTW).
Dave also runs a business where his main preoccupation is coming up with clever ideas how to keep those N. Murray Edwards tar sands oil dollars coming in.
Carbon Engineering is funded by several government and sustainability-focused agencies as well as by private investors, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates and oil sands financier N. Murray Edwards.[5][6][7]

I doubt that there's enough force in Trump for cybering. Even with Viagra. He's just completely curdled on the inside.
No wonder he can't go out when it rains anymore. Pressure difference probably has him lying on the floor impersonating an African lungfish.

You're right... Why did I thought that it was?
Damn... must be more tired than I thought.
Thanks.
Brain becomes jaded and you read without noticing individual characters after a while.
But it's all bullshit anyway.
I'm from Bosnia. We have three official languages (actually not even properly different dialects) and two official alphabets.
Both are phonetic and identical in pronunciation.
I will often pick up a book and only hours into it realize that it is actually printed in Cyrillic.
Once you learn to read words without spelling out each character you lose the sense of the print.
The underlying language and meaning remain the same - which is what you are reading and writing.
Thoughts and ideas expressed through language - not characters of an alphabet.
You recognize the meaning encapsulated into a collection of symbols, you don't reinterpret each symbol from scratch.
E.g. You read both Sarajevo and Capajebo the same way.
Unless you are trying to make a political thing or a joke out of it. But that's a whole nother box of turds.
And one gets more exercise from sitting on a bicycle seat while pedaling to work than from sitting on a bus seat while being driven to work.
Writing is a completely different action from reading. From a neurological, physical... from any point.
Taking notes by yourself is another level entirely.
There's literally nothing to compare that action to reading different kinds of fonts other than that both are probably done in a classroom and that both probably use the same alphabet and language.
It's not even comparing cycling to sitting on a bus... it's comparing effects of cycling uphill to being shown a video of cycling on various kinds of screens and projectors.
If a person with a degree in astrophysics published a paper "proving" that the Earth is flat, could that person still be accurately described as an actual astrophysicist?
Or would a description like "a fuckin flatearther loon" be more appropriate?
I.e. Should we blindly accept the authority of a piece of paper they have hanging on the wall in their office, OR should we take in account their actual words, actions and results when deciding on the validity of their work?
Similarly, if a person with a degree pushes marketing nonsense with little to no scientific proof behind it - should we consider that person a scientist and their thinly veiled marketing campaign a work of science?
Particularly when we're talking about fields with known "issues".
Eating a "solution" of 1 milligram per 1 milliliter means eating solid matter merely soaked in whatever solvent is used.
E.g. 1 milligram of sugar per 1 milliliter of water scaled up to, say, kitchen measurements, equals to taking a cup of sugar and pouring an exact same cup of water over it.
Which is, technically, a solution. But it's more like a paste.
Stuffing mice with a paste made out of artificial sweeteners is NOT a proof of anything but their voracity.
And we already know that. Those little fuckers will eat plastic lawnmowers and electrical insulation.
This is just another one of those fraudulent studies aimed at reaching a foregone conclusion.
Might as well suggest that one learns better and retains more memory about things seen through scratched up and filthy glasses.
Or by listening to a lecture while outside someone is tearing up the street with a jackhammer.
This is what happens when we allow behavioural economists and marketing people dabbling in psychology to be treated like serious scientists.
Well... the full implications could be easily tested by purchasing some uranium glass beads on ebay, grinding them to powder, pouring said powder into an envelope and mailing it to Andrew at Environmental Protection Agency, Office of the Administrator, 1101A, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20460.
After all, it's not like the Trump EPA ever freaked out about chemicals surrounding their boss.
Umm.. no.
Sorry, I'm lazy.
I'll just link to the other part of the thread where I point out and explain that you are basing your assumptions on faulty reading of data.
I.e. BBC is wrong. People they are quoting say so.
