Saying "space travel" when I ask about science makes about as much sense as saying "bus travel". Neither of them happens without science, but stories about bus travel aren't stories about science.
But that's exactly the opposite of what the article reported says -- they claim civilian nuclear power is a trojan horse for the military, now you're claiming the military is subsidising civil nuclear power. Please get back to us when you've got your story straight.
By tbe way, the UK is not the US and the 2010's are not the 1960's.
One proposed alternative to Hinckley Point was for Rolls Royce to build a fleet of "small modular reactors", i.e. nuclear sub reactors -- maybe thar was what the "obscure" document was talking about, because the whole point of Hinckley point is that there is no UK civil nuclear industry -- Hinckley is a French/German design, built by France and financed by France and China.
No, because it makes no sense -- there is basically no commonality at all between a huge PWR like the EPR and the tiny little things in subs. Amusingly, one of the proposed alternatives to Hinckley Point was to buld lots of "small modular reactors" which basically proposed bulding lot's of nuclear sub reactors and installing them in every industrial estate -- if that plan had been followed maybe he'd have had a point...
I think most of us have suspected for some time that mdsolar is a shill for the nuclear industry, paid to make supporters of renewable energy look ridiculous, but this latest screed is just too over the top and risks exposing his true agenda.
Wrong. IO-bound tasks are slow in VM because IO requires a kernel call. So does task switching, memory mapping (mmap(), brk()), getting the time, getting process information, changing memory protections, advising on memory use (madvise()), sleeping, interprocess communication (pipes), creating shared memory, and several other things.
So, like I said, a mostly cpu bound task like ffmpeg isn't going to see much difference.
Makes me wonder why all the hubris over forking Debian then if you can just install some other init... I guess because some packages are starting to depend on it?
As far as I know no packages in Debian that are not part of systemd depend on systemd being the init system. Some packages do depend on systemd being installed for various complicated reasons.
Germany imports around 25 billion dollars worth of iron and steel per year. In 2015 about 1.9 billion dollars of that came from China, i.e. about 8%. I leave it up to you to decide whether that is "noteworthy".
Well, all seven of the systemd obsessives may be excited -- but not really, because without systemd they have nothing to whine about. I mean, look at the windswept empty desert that is Devuan -- if people actually wanted a system without systemd they'd all be telling us about the exciting new developments in Devuan, rather than banging on about systemd in every thread that slightly touches on RedHat, Debian or Ubuntu.
Running my ffmpeg bash scripts for x264 encoding/conversion I get identical speed in Ubuntu on Windows as I get on Debian Stretch on the same hardware.
Duh. Running a task that only uses CPU gets the same speed. Frankly, if you don't get the same speed from a VM your VM software is broken. Only I/O bound tasks should show any reduction in speed from running in a VM.
The UN was founded following the Second World War, in 1945 when the Charter of the United Nations was drafted at the UN Conference on International Organisation in San Francisco, California.
Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?
Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious...service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.
Russian Ambassador: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.
To some extent the conservative outlook is defensible.
No, no it's not.
When science says "the planet is warming" the reasonable conservative response is "let's try and find a way of avoiding it that is acceptable to my political/economic philosophy", not "no it isn't".
Reality doesn't stop happening because you don't believe in it. All of your demands for "extraordinary proof" were met decades ago.
Seriously -- watch the video linked it in my sig below.
Yup, that's obvious. I'm dumb not to have thought of that: ECC == more cells / usable bit == more events / usable bit.
We had a fault in a high altitude aircraft (>60K feet) that we are pretty confident occurred when a cosmic ray flipped a bit inside the error correction circuitry.
Hilarious. As you add protection you add places to be broken:-( Need error correction circuitry for the error correction circuitry.

The service they're advertising is UberPOOL. Did you even read the text you posted yourself?
Like I said. Where's the science?

P.S. Heinlein wrote stories about "what if Christian fundamentalists started a civil war."

> How is Handmaiden's Tale not SF?
No science?
Where's the science in most Heinlein?
In 2015 about 1.9 billion dollars of that came from China, products not steel/iron.
Fixed that for you.
Nope, you broke it, not fixed it. That's iron & steel input to your industry. Just exactly what do you think cars are made from?
And of course France has had chip'n'pin cards since 1986.

no one buys cars from China, yet.
Not true. I've seen people driving Chinese cars. Outside of China even.

"Whatever floats your boat"?
Why would you expect them to have an "official position". It's free software. Use it if you want, don't use it if you don't want to.
Debian includes systemd if you want it to. If you don't want to use systemd install some other init system.
Strangely, Devuan, that was supposed to give people "init freedom" doesn't support systemd.
Been their, done that:

Make a fucking base on the moon first. Use the moon to figure out how to do it,
The conditions on the moon and Mars are so different that the lessons learned on the moon would be mostly irrelevant to Mars.
Well, then there is an easy solution: Start making the evidence public.

Gosh, that was hard.

How dare you insinuate that Judith Curry has hidden motives.
Yup, that's obvious. I'm dumb not to have thought of that: ECC == more cells / usable bit == more events / usable bit.
