That's largely a superficial distinction though, because a general election can be triggered by a vote of no confidence, which requires a simple majority.
You need two votes of no confidence, within a certain time... But it's not that superficial a difference. The only way to achieve a general election through this route is a public statement to the effect that the current government is a failure and needs to be replaced.
Perhaps... But automation has been "replacing" workers for centuries. Marc Brunel mechanised pulley block making in the early 19th century, and water and wind power replaced manual labour for grinding grain at least 2 millennia ago. In the 19th century, increased mechanisation increased production rate so much that the need for workers increased dramatically.
Increased automation led many to speculate that we would have a shorter working week and spend more time on leisure.
Things are different now, so perhaps you're right. I want you to be right! But I'm a little sceptical just because previous productivity improvements haven't achieved this.
Amp hours is established to be suitably huge, but it depends on voltage.
Let's assume our 6g battery (which will be about 2 cm^3) produces 1 Volt. That means it produces 170 microAmps, and since it lasts for thousands of years, gives about 16,000 Amp hours.
But we already know these batteries last a long time. The question is whether they're light enough to do something with. Suppose I want to run a processor in a satellite. Do the number of amp hours matter?
Contract law isn't absolute. the idea that it is is one of those oversimplifications that we're taught when we first learn about these things.
This sort of clause was already probably unenforceable. The law makes this explicit. Unfair contracts have been a problem for some time and the law makes sure that such contracts are void. This is how contract law works. This is how any law works!
How often have companies actually implemented this clause and come out well from it? The result of punishing someone for a bad review is a billion people with no link to the company posting bad reviews.
Yeah... Don't think that's really the target application. If nothing else because that will probably cost hundred of millions of dollars (assuming the cost is comparable to industrial diamond).
Answering my own question - digitaltrends gives us some information.
A diamond beta-battery containing 1g of C14 will deliver 15J per day, and will continue to produce this level of output for 5,730 years
So that's 170 microWatts per gram or 6 grams per milliwatt. That's actually a usable level of power even when talking such small power cells. Still not sure what a good application might be for this technology.
It sounds like we're looking at expensive components, and other posts suggests picoamps. But what sized battery would we need to get that to something usable?
Do these have a potential use in satellites or are they too heavy? How about pacemakers? Or is the radiation shielding inadequate?
Okay. Point taken. Although I'd really consider explosions to be a separate issue from emissions. And not exploding sounds like one of the legitimate advantages of these; the other key one being longevity.
Trump realises that there's no benefit to holding a grudge, and a lot of benefit to getting his message out there. I don't think he's really going to do this as a reward for the media.
I can see this being more about negligence than breaking the rules.
The emissions requirements are not going to be dealt with directly by all engineers. That will be a management issue. They'll look at all the emission requirements, and basically add that to the requirements.
The engineer then has two sets of conflicting requirements. Emission below X. Power above Y. There are additional rules though. The emissions requirement is only needed under certain conditions. So the tired, stressed engineer adds an "if()" statement based on those conditions. The manager is uncertain about this but sends it up the chain asking if it's okay. Next person up the chain doesn't understand or want to understand the technical details. All he cares about is that the emissions test is passed and the performance isn't affected.
Maybe, but those were far better. For all the nostalgic fondness, the 4004 had a lot of compromises in order to make it viable. When you have 8 bits to play with you can actually do something useful in a single register. They're useful enough that they're both still in production, when the 4004 hasn't been since 1981 or something.

If people backed up, that would be a good suggestion...
Seriously, they can probably weather the loss from the few people who are genuinely aware that you need to back this stuff up.
Curious how this example is so popular since it was invoked to justify a court ruling that banned someone from distributing These pamphlets
Yes, but these are gained under Trump. Trumponomics are so powerful they take effect even before he becomes president!

I can see the issues of using it in liquid form, but it's an effective coolant in solid form.

And now downmodding you would be illegal!
(And before anyone explains the law doesn't work like that, take a breath and relax)

Okay, I'm not criticising the basic idea here, but this list of benefits applies to all batteries.

It will be surprising if it isn't Trump.
Clinton, Obama and Bush were all selected after they were first elected. Trump has been at least as newsworthy as them this year.
Loads of people have been selected in the past.
Hell, I won it in 2006.
You don't have to do anything. But if you dislike people believing something that isn't true, then debunking it is a good way to achieve this aim.
While I'm sure you're right, it's possibly more helpful to also illustrate where this has been debunked.
I think that makes you a victim rather than a perpetrator.

Sure we do. They run on computers!
To be honest though, I've no problem with an American site using American English, even when talking about Britain.
And any attempt to impose those law in the UK would result in those trying to impose the laws being arrested.
You realise that the UK isn't a Sharia country right? and whatever the tabloids tell you, isn't going to be one any time soon.
