Your swarm of gravitationally bound objects is unstable, so no. In addition you'd need to devise a theory for how they came to be gravitationally bound that doesn't destroy current theories on solar system creation and works in simulations. Pluto/Charon (& Earth/Moon) for that matter have been shown to have been created by the collision of similarly sized objects with the two largest successor objects cleaning up and ejecting or absorbing all the rest.
To be able to so wildly disturb the orbits of the multiple ETNO's we have discovered so far, the suspected mystery planet is not going to be a minuscule speck like Pluto but a gas giant along the lines of Uranus or Neptune. Rest assured that should we discover something that big orbiting the Sun, it will be a designated a planet.
I'm guessing you made a false assumption further up the thread in trying to appear more knowledgeable than I am re: construction techniques. As Headw1nd & others have already stated, vibration isn't used to compress concrete generally, it's used to help air bubbles in the concrete flow to the surface to avoid voids. The vibration does little in regards to concrete curing as for concrete this is a chemical process.
Compare that to the material in TFA which needs to be physically compacted to cure -- which is quite clearly is the method used to form the pellets from the source materiel in the article.
Headw1nd, I & others were able to understand this essential difference. You appear to still have doubts.
This may prove useful for some specialty uses but Concrete doesn't need to be compacted to cure at this material does. It might be useful for some specialty prefab uses but clearly, it's not going to replace concrete in general use.
So merely attempting to see if the default telnet password is still active on a publicly accessible device is defined as illegal access in the UK? Interesting.
You need at least a pre-login warning message that the system is not public access and that continuing is exposing you to charges if you continue in France.
Is doorknob rattling (seeing if the door is locked or not without entering) also illegal in the UK? Port scanning?
The sum of what he did, sure especially rooting through the system to find the MySQL database and publish the decyphered password.
However, unless there was a prelogon banner message warning people off, attempting to logon using the default password and publishing that & the IP would not have been.
Had he actually cracked the password, sure, no question but revealing that X is still using the _default_ admin password and is open to anyone using it, not so much. I agree an attempt should have been made to notify the hotel but given how some organizations react when you tell them that they left the door wide open (YOU'RE A HACKER!!! I'M CALLING THE AUTHORITIES!!!), that's not always the best thing to do either.
Now _WHY_ would they want to go and do that? It would make their inability/refusal to introduce a working search function into Outlook since 1992 starkly visible.
While everything you say is true, it's all just semantics being used to favour one self driving tech over another with little to no real justification to use one over another other than personal preference once you dumb down "self driving" from it's generally accepted definition of "equivalent to human level driving on roads not modified to assist the car" to "needs special roads".
How does the German system wire deal with merging and dividing lanes? How about traffic? Inclement weather? When the answer is not well to not at all, thats also how most people will judge the merit/absence of merit of the attempt to label the system as "self driving".
Without even getting into russian troops being used to attack and occupy the Donesk basin, Russia has invaded and officially annexed the Sevastopol peninsula you delirious fool (or are you a tool?). The "little green men" Putin to illegally seize the peninsula and intimidate the inhabitants into a sham election used were not inhabitants of the region but Russian troops tasked with attacking the Ukraine.
This disagreement came about because you that you objected to my exposing the fact that the H2 for this project is not GRREEEENNN, but is actually coming from reformed Natural Gas that Germany is buying from Putin & then dumping the CO2 into the atmosphere. Your claims of efficiency fail to account for the reason why this project, as well as every other supposedly "H2 is GREEN" project is either shutting down, dead or lying through omission on the source of the H2.
Your "FREE" sources of energy (as well as free capitol from the EU) failed to keep Iceland's vaunted electrolyzed H2 projects alive and that electricity was "free" too.
Your claims of dogmatism on my part are rich coming from someone who makes up Dutch sources of H2 & chooses not to recognize that Germany cannot break a commercial contract with a Putin who has serially attacked his neighbors & has illegally annexed Sevastopol. As to the tone, YOU chose that when I exposed that your vaunted CLEAN H2 is just Natural Gas touted up and whored out.
I'm done with arguing with you. You've amply demonstrated that you're a delirious fool.
It is legally not possible to cancel a 50 year old contract that is supposed to run another 50 years
You mean like it is legally impossible for one nation to invade another after guaranteeing they would not do so? Like Russia invaded the Ukraine after giving territorial guarantees for giving up the Ukrainian Nukes. And yet we all know how that worked out. Russia's invasions would have been more than sufficient legal cover for rendering that contract null -- If only Germany were willing to by developing other sources like fracking. But Germany and the rest of Europe prefer to prop up Putin even after his repeated aggressions.
Hydrolysis is cheaper... I still don't get your rant.
Ah, really? That must be why why Tesla and all the other carmakers are following Toyota's lead in H2 powered fuel celled cars instead of pursuing lithium battery technology, why H2 powered projects from cheap Geothermal, wind and solar sources are now flourishing throughout the world after NOT being abandoned after great investments in places like Iceland. Yes all things that you can see clearly - invisible to others like your assertion that the H2 is cleanly sourced from the Netherlands when no such reference exists in TFA, but because you _want_ so much for it to be so, it _must_ be so.
Thanks for the info on Iceland. However even with "free" geothermal power H2 isn't so rosy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Iceland provides a good location to test the viability of hydrogen as a fuel source for the future; its population is only 320,000 people and over 60 percent live in the capital, Reykjavík. The relatively small scale of the country's infrastructure would ease a transition from oil to hydrogen, and abundant natural energy can be harnessed to produce hydrogen. Iceland is a participant in international hydrogen fuel research and development programs, and other countries are following the nation's progress. However, these factors also make Iceland an advantageous market for electric vehicles. Because electric vehicles are less expensive than hydrogen vehicles and four times more efficient, the country may switch to electric vehicles. Hydrogen cars were not expected to be mass-produced until at least 2015 and it will be faster to introduce electric vehicles. Iceland's 840-mile (1,350 km) Ring Road could be covered by 14 fast-charging stations.
Also note that H2 production in Iceland looks to me to be dying out -- even WITH cheap power. - The production of Ammonia in 2002. Dead. - HyFLEET:CUTE hydrogen powered buses massively subsidised by the EU? They still have a website but don't appear to have any buses running since 2009.
If you want to discuss cheap electricity from French Nukes, it's not cheap enough to rival H2 from Natural Gas nor are there massive amounts of unused capacity. The French Nukes are ageing needing more maintenance so EDF and Areva have been walking a tightrope for many years already on taking many offline to perform the needed maintenance for months/years while also keeping enough online to supply France's varying needs. Running those plants that are online at top capacity to make H2? Not happening: It'd just bring the plants into needing maintenance faster taking even more offline.
The only way to make H2 from electrolysis cheaper than H2 from Natural Gas is with a truly massive carbon tax, the mother of all carbon taxes, the carbon tax to end all carbon taxes... Soooo, unless this hydrogen powered train project is coming with a hidden massive carbon tax, it's going to be using H2 from Natural Gas and throwing as much if not more carbon into the atmosphere through the inefficiencies in the added steps as it would have had they just used liquified Natural Gas to power diesel engines. Yeah, really green.../sarcasm
Lastly, consider the source of the Natural Gas the germans will be reforming to get their H2: Russia. Germany should be taking steps to reduce their dependancy on Putin, not financing his next adventure while falsely claiming to be saving the planet.
Read a book yourself! Electrolysis is inefficient to the point where it is much cheaper to steam reform Natural Gas than it is to crack water!
There are ZERO sources of commercial amounts of H2 from electrolysis of water! ALL commercial H2 sources are from steam reforming of Natural Gas! Not some, not most, ALL!
By all means, build your own company that sells H2 from water, just let us know what you call it so that we can short it before it inevitably tanks so someone can make some money off it.
A massive problem the proponents of Hydrogen Fuel cells don't want to talk about is that they don't get their Hydrogen from electrolyzing water into O2 & H2 as that is massively inefficient and costly. No, this supposedly GREEN energy source gets all it's Hydrogen from steam reforming Natural Gas! in plants that don't even recover the resulting CO2.
With the inefficiencies lost at every step transforming the LNG into Hydrogen then storing it then using fuel cells, gydrogen Fuel cell powered trains are no better than electric trains powered by coal powered electric plants.
The way people use the internet has changed -- especially for younger people.
Most people used to use a homepage like Yahoo or MSN. Some, like you, went directly to the web versions of their real-life information sources.
People today grew up using Google for everything: Google is their home page. If they want the weather, they google "weather". If they want news, they google "news". They won't even paste an URL into the address bar they paste it into google & then click on the google link.
So, yeah, If the EU's (I'm french btw so I'm not throwing any shade), dumb rules to appease the media conglomerates go all the way to enforcement, everyone who uses google as a source will no longer see the news sources that want google to pay to excerpt them. When Google is no longer driving any people to their web sites, it'll backfire on the conglomerates who will soon be lobbying for laws to _force_ Google to use & then pay them.
You didn't know ?!? Typing "news" in google has given the google news site forever and while there used to be separate news.google.tld sites they all map unto https://news.google.com/ with the arguments ?hl=$LANG&gl=$LANG&ceid=$LANG. Given how the younger generations type EVERYTHING into the URL bar (including complete URLs) & that's sent to google, it's clear that anyone typing "news" into a browser that uses Google for search, the vast majority of people looking for news are going to news.google.com.
Thus news.google.com is how much of the world looks up their news & is the #1 target of the media conglomerates that lobbied the EP into passing the libertycide regulations TFA, the EFF, etc are denouncing.
Interesting that you are from Germany, The legislation passed is an attempt at keeping you from changing your news source.
Some argue that it is already the case for people who feed off of the misery of others and through the profiteering acts of assholes like this guy their numbers are ever increasing. It won't even need to ba a majority before the backlash comes because at some point a significant is going want to hold these assholes accountable whatever the majority thinks.
We've already been cut off from many news site in the U.S. who saw little benefit and many potential downsides of conforming to the GPDR.
Go to https://news.google.com/ because you want to see the american point of view on the news. Click on many articles and discover that we are locked out because the publisher (like the L.A Times) has deemed that readers from Europe aren't worth the effort.
What will likely happen is that all the european sites like news.google.fr, news.google.sp, news.google.it, etc become less and less informative and unless one uses a VPN to escape to a freer part of the Internet, we will be walled away from information.
Again, what part of "There is enough subsurface water on Mars to submerge the entire planet 30 meters deep" don't you understand? Given that you make useless comparisons with southern California, it's the MARS part.
That SoCa has overused it's fresh water supplies has absolutely nothing to do with Mars colonists being able to overuse theirs. Not everything is about you and your mistakes so your "lessons learned" are not applicable and thus your excessively over detailed impact planning is equally useless.
You're like a guy that once ran out of salt and now wants to exhaustively preplan the use of every grain of salt -- when he could just go to the store and buy more because it's in no danger of becoming rare or expensive. Your cries of BUT I RAN OUT ONCE are grating.
What part of "There is enough subsurface water on Mars to submerge the entire planet 30 meters deep" don't you understand? Ah, you appear to be from SoCal. Never mind, clearly asking too much from you...

You and the author of TFA weaken "self-driving" to the point where it is meaningless.
Using two steel or wooden tracks to guide a self propelled engine is just as applicable so it was James Watt in the late 1700s.
