But it was staged! The stage was in the World Trade Center and 9/11 was a coverup to hide it! They used a timetraveling UFO from Area 51 to bring the footage back to 1969. It was all thought up by the Illuminati to prevent us from seeing that the lizards have taken over our government!
For cars the environmental effects were also an order of magnitude lower than the alternative: horses. Cities had trouble getting rid of all the dung from the horses by the time cars came around. Cars didn't smell as much and the exhaust simply flew away instead of staying in the middle of the road.
'Round here we have a 2 tier system for a lot of houses. Day power and night power. Night power is cheaper because then the high power users (industry mostly) are down. People who have it wash at night because that is cheaper. Once the amount of solar energy on the net becomes a problem the power companies will change this, the night becomes more expensive. Then many people with 2 tier systems will change their habits to wash during the day because that is cheaper.
Ergo here in the Netherlands the problem will be delayed automatically. Maybe enough to have grid scale storage.
If you can deceive while following the rules as written then it doesn't stop being deceiving. That just means the rules are poorly written. See tax evasion.
This is for those that don't need the computing power. This is something in between a normal PC and a ChromeCast. Not as locked down but just as slow. Now ChromeCast has a specific market: easy video streaming with your Android device as a remote. Whether this offers enough over that to find a real place in the market remains to be seen. It does offer full windows or linux. That means the possibilities are far greater. Whether the processor is sufficient for enough of those possibilities will probably be a deciding factor in the market size for this.
For computer power this changes nothing in the possibilities of a real PC. They will probably be irreplaceable in that regard for a long time. These thumb size devices have far to little cooling power. But such strength isn't always needed. Often a low power processor is sufficient: cat videos don't need much power.
if their devices had the "unknown sources" setting enabled.
That is an advanced user setting. It should not be changed unless the user is certain. It even triggers a warning if you change it. Only change that if you are certain you can use the device safely without it. If you can't, then leave it in it's factory setting.
They come with free overheating problems. Solar panels need the airflow behind them to keep cool. Cool is efficient, hot is inefficient. Insulating your house is good, insulating the back of your solar panels isn't.
Untill a company builds a layered system that has tile like solar panels on top, some air flowing freely below it and then insulation I would just stick solar panels on a roof unless the looks are really important (in sight from the street in an old city for example)
Bird kills is a factor that should be taken into account, when planning the location of the farm. Don't build them in a major bird trek route (we learned that the hard way). If you keep that in mind the bird kills are really not an issue.
The sensitivity in measuring one effect is no guarantee it will measure any other effect. As far as I know neither of the Voyagers is fitted with an atomic clock so this measurement method does not work on it.
According to the article dark energy signatures would be evident in slight time shifts. Slight as in in the range of "billionth of a second". Light travels 30 cm (1 foot) in that time. According to the article GPS satellites can measure those. They just don't check if there is a pattern to them. That pattern would indicate the presence of dark matter.
GPS satellites have Cesium clocks. Those are accurate to one second in 1,400,000 years. That means the error the article is talking about is the error the clock naturally has over about half a day. Apparently that is precise enough.
According to the preview on the Nature site each carbon atom is linked to 3 other carbon atoms and one hydrogen. Plastic is a better description than diamond. "Normal" carbon nanotubes are closer to diamond than this. The preview didn't call it a diamond by the way. It does equate it's properties to diamondoids and nanotubes.
Having said that, if the result is a non-toxic high tensile strength material that can be used to make a space elevator then I don't really care what they call it. It's cool anyway. They could call it "Superdung" and I'd still love the stuff.
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. Don't believe the internet over your doctor.
There is no proof yet one way or the other whether a one-size fits all solution is applicable. It might be. It might be so that the difference in metabolism is caused by gut bacteria. That would mean that anyone in a modern country (where nobody is starving) would benefit from "thin" bacteria. The best moment to introduce the right bacterial culture is as a baby, when there is next to nothing present. After that you always first have to kill what is there. That could cause some trouble.
Not that I'd advise testing any bacterial culture on babies because that is easier. Even besides the point that I am not a doctor and my knowledge of this is limited. Grown ups with problematic gut bacteria are more suitable. However, when it is finished (that means test subjects have been living for many years with those gut bacteria) then it may be wise to start doing exactly that. To start with an adult means to start with heavy heavy antibiotics to clean the bowels. Those antibiotics are not nice to the rest of the body.
Bottom line is: we just don't know. We are only just finding out what gut bacteria do. Who knows what we'll know in 20 years? At least it is a viable research path that should be followed.
Doesn't GPS also download trajectory data to speed up the initial location fix? That data comes ever so slowly from the sats and old data is often not usefull.
Dark matter just fails Occam's Razor in my opinion.
If you think it's an answer then: yeah, it should. Dark matter is more like an open question. We don't know what causes the effects we are seeing. "The explanation with the fewest assumptions is probably the best one" doesn't really work when all the explanations require many assumptions.
The best way to research such an open question is 1. Think of more ways this question could be answered. 2. Check the assumptions. Find if they are reasonable. 3. Remove explanations that have assumptions that turn out to be wrong. 4. goto 1
This paper is doing 1. It may be the answer, it may not be. Step 2 is expensive in this case. Often even impossible.
I would love my coffee maker and thermostat connected to the Internet, assuming that it would come with an alarm clock that sets my coffee to be ready the moment my alarm clock rings and my thermostat to have the house warm at that same moment. That way if I sleep in it will be automatically ready at the right time.
Having said that: the only internet connected coffee maker I have seen was incredibly stupid. It was an office automated thing that needed internet to work but didn't tell the supplier that the coffee was running out. I still don't know what benefit the internet connectivity offered to the end user.
Yeah of course. The turbines are designed to be anchored to the ocean floor. If you turn them around they aren't going to anchored anymore so they will go with the flow and crash into the first available object they can find.

If that was the only major problem it would have been solved decades ago.
My washing machine is automated. It doesn't require my constant attention. Same with my dishwasher.
They even have a delayed start function.

Eating is quite possible. Grow your own, with a tractor that is modified to run on electricity from a solar plant & wind turbine.
How he can post on /. or anywhere else on the Internet has me confused.

Stupid is as stupid does.
Network cost isn't always a game. Maintaining the grid costs real money.

Maybe in the future this will be corrected by adding the right gut bacteria to the bottled products. Then it'll be better than breastfeeding.
A major design flaw is still defective.
If you bought a car and it came without a lock in the door you'd start complaining to the dealer.
That neon sign is clearly a bad joke and should be treated as such.
Some can (for 1 day), but that has significant results for energy input requirements.
And energy output maximum for a few days.

Yes I do realize that the failure modes are different.
Although your first post was the first time I heard about it.
Yeah of course. The turbines are designed to be anchored to the ocean floor. If you turn them around they aren't going to anchored anymore so they will go with the flow and crash into the first available object they can find.
