The way I think of it, I donâ(TM)t see a single big bang, or even a single crunch that happens over and over. But multiple crunches happening spread out across infinity. Where our perception of the universe is just one tiny bit from a single crunch event. We are speeding up as the gravity of the other crunch events matter starts over coming the gravity from the matter from our crunch event.
Saying that. H2 is actualy very hard to store more than days. It's small and excapes, causes metal embrittlement, and the methods to combat those are costly and make trasportation an issue.(like keeping it at -300c)
So much of the Fuel cell research has not bee in the cell it self, but in having the H bound to a more dense fuel that will make the problems of storage go away.(as well as have a denser fuel)
I don't think you grasp the shear difference in volume. Not to mention the difference of the materials
I've read New York City barges dumps 36,000 tons of garbage into the ocean daily. (dated figure from 2008) Completed ISS 450 tons, satellites weigh from 150lbs-3000lbs's.
Most will burn off leaving disfigured rocks of mostly metal. The stuff NYC dumps, bet it's not the easy recycles (metal).
I wonder how much work would it take to have it crash/land on the moon, where even as a wreck would be useful.
Pretty good recount, but missing a few things. Iraq attacked Kuwait, 2 years after the Iran war, when their economy was tanking while tryign to repay the US.
See Iraq economy was sinking, owing USA $60B, while other OPEC members (Kuwait) were over producing. Kuwait was knowingly killing Iraq financially for years. Then Iraq accusing Kuwait of slant drilling Iraq's oil, and the world(US) shruged.
I belieave it's important to see more than the military actions.
2009 January - North Korea says it is scrapping all military and political deals with the South, accusing it of "hostile intent".
2009 is NK giving the world a finger and renewing their effort to get nukes. Before that date you see much plotical strong arming from various countries. After that date what do you see? Not much except for NK progress Nuke and missles.
What we have now is years of failed attempts to control NK. The blame isnt on Trump, hes an idiot, but NK is a problem being handed to him.
We should have been doing this political strong arming back in 2009.
Now NK have nukes and the tech to deliever it. Although I suspect they have or will tunnel a warhead under Seoul. http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/02/...
The armed forces of USA needs to act on behalf of SK and Japan, not just for the USA. For them, NK is a huge risk, they can't afford to retaliate. They also lack the ability to. We are in a posision of put-up or shut-up.
I'm not Musk fanboy. But he's right in the fact his factories are in the US and not china.
USA where lawsuits are taken up agaisnt companies as a gamble for big payoff where the merits of the lawsuits are weighed against the cost to fight. Where winning the battle is losing.
I work for a pretty big bank with thousands and thousands of servers. I doubt 10% would pass a PCI audit, but since there are so many incompetent and non technical people between the assessor and those that know what they are doing.
I've heard the manager of Sys admins say "I've never been told any of our servers fall under PCI" this specifically in reference to systems that comb over CC use in search of fraud......
Shared system accounts running processes with full sudo access using a password forced using the crypt, passwords in a script in plane text and hasn't been changed in 10+ years...
A lead Unix Architect who says N/A to PCI/CIS/Security requirements because he wants to.
And an infosec, dispute being shown, don't understand and just wants to pass their Security+ exam....
And things get much much worse, makes me want to update my resume....
and for 3 days of non service for this one thing the fine is pretty high for a company their size. Of course they could have grown more but not with the way the FCC was scaling back..
Also, with most of their devel app guys I'm surprised it only took them 3 days to realize and fix it. "What do you mean you're having performance issues on the server, it worked fine on my laptop"
An air leqack big enough to matter would affect those in front and behind it. You either slam into it or it pushes you faster into something else.
Trains can crash into others causing another large rupture.
The speed is a hurdle by itself, the vacuum tube is IMHO the peace that makes the hyperloop infeasible. I did not say impossible, but it creates a situation where total failures happen and the cost to over come it are 100x.
Things like spliting the tunnels with automatic opening/closing doors too keep each tube a separate vacuum, making the tubes bullet proof, etc.
That falls apart if you believe that there's a subset of society that is fundamentally incapable of making the transition because of natural ability, talent, whatever, but I'm more optimistic about the capacity of humans to improve themselves given the opportunity to do so. OP claims by fiat that "we've come to the end of the line for the next-best-job fix" without providing a justification for why that's the case.
What? Do you really think everyone can learn any job? I know right now, my office has a lot of idiots who take 6 months to a year to do something that takes copentent peopel less than a day. Now pull up your average/stereotypical wallmart, gas station, fast food employee who can't figure out why you are giving them 5.03 for a charge of 4.78.
Knowing "end of the line" can only be picked in hindsight. Right now the problem is getting people to see that there exists a problem. Unemployment numbers only look not bad because years ago (under clinton) they made changes. The problem being that only a portion of us need to work for all of us to consume, and with each improvement less people are needed. With less wealth going to less people the top 1% reap more.
Then the death spiral: When more consumers are out of work and consuming lesss, less people are needed to provide it. And repeat, with increased efficiency.
History shows that this turns into revolutions and wars, but if only 1,000 working people needed for a million to consume, we require more than just shift of power and wealth, but in idealogy.
So to recap, its about getting your electect officals to reconise the problem as 2 things. 1. Not everyone is needed to produce for everyone, and this is growing worse. 2. Not everyone is capable of doing all jobs.
Interesting, I do recall about all meat diet studies starting back in the 30's but, I'll have to go back and look. Not to mention read up on how the body copes and such w/ other nutients being low.
Ah, well lack of vitamin C leads to Scurvy. So there are reasons for some plants. (Carnivores get their rounded diet by eating the whole animal not just the meat, the digestive tract)
Do you remember why Firefox was created, and why it took off? I certainly do, I remember using IIRC.6 of it, and it got smaller with each release. Why was that? because it was removing the Mozilla/Netscape crap. It also worked to put users in control of not just the browser experiance, but the browser.
Well what do you think happened when Mozilla/Netscape died and they took over Firefox as their flagship product? Sure they are ignoring their users and chase telemtry now admiting that the data could be wrong.
Back on topic with Telemtry. Anonymise the data, using generated tokens(can be regenerated any time). Option to regenerate each time on application launch Users can view data saved by tolken, and remove or even strip out data, such as number of tabs open, number of tabs active, total sites visited since launch, ram usage, cpu usage, System Info OS/RAM/CPU/Resolution, etc domains, FQDN, or full URL. Number and what Addons installed. Preference changed, About:config options changed
I can go on, but you get the idea, where all data is viewable, and truly able to be removed being collected and what has been collected.
Also a way to input data, like a questionair with top feature, etc. And not just filled with what the dumbass I mean top level management who killed mozilla/netscape and is killing firefox.
I don't know how to make the perfect browser. But the browser I want is one that I am in control of my PC. Not some website, not the adds, not the virus or other badware.
Firefox without addons does better than others(with things hidden in about:config). And with 2-5 choice addons it's the best in having users in control. I don't give my parents and friends things like ublock/umatrix/noscript, but insted give them Disconnect(or ublock using limited lists).
People don't need to know hot to make what they want, (Although other forks like The Palemoon and Waterfox exist). They do know Mozilla is not only ignoring but moving away from what they want.
Also the word nazi us just used to mean exteme conrrol and or view points. Such as soup nazi, grammar nazi, and feminazi. Not to different from fascist.
So the word in and of itself has been aceptale use to mean something other than hate vs jews/blacks for 20+ years.
I can't help but notice that the blackbox seams to not have evolved since the 70's. With more modern tech it can be cheaper, have better batteries, use less power, and more capabilities.
Imagine if the black box transmitted for months and the the ping consisted of not just a PING but cordinates of last known GPS.
They cost over $1000 each, whcih seams steap for whats actually in it.
Don't know about yours addons specifically. But I've used various Tab add-ons, I found them all heavier on resources.
I've keep 100's of tabs open and most restarts where from updating.
Only addons I'm using are ublock origin, noscript, saved password editor, session manager.
Now I will say on linux FF can't handle nearly as many tabs on windows. A few years ago I ran tests where even a VM runnign windows under with less RAM could handle more Tabs.
About the plants using photosynthesis. It actually doesn't create oxygen from the CO2 but from the H2O.https://www.howplantswork.com/2009/02/16/plants-dont-convert-co2-into-o2/
Also, all the methods I know about to convert CO2 to oxygen not only take takes a lot of energy but also results in CO.. Which is worse and will eventually find a way become CO2.(those home oxygen machines don't create oxygen, they basicly compress out nitrogen/CO2.)
But you are correct, we need to do more than just curb our CO2 (and other pollutants) production we need to do things to remove it from the air.
My vote is planting forests which would also require more freshwater from ocean sources(desalination/electrodialysis)
Slashdot Mirror
I'm surprised that PHP isn't more hated.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't think of PHP when talking of programming languages...
Further to back you up, we haven't discovered a single atom of antimatter in the wild. We discover things like positron, but not a single atom.
The way I think of it, I donâ(TM)t see a single big bang, or even a single crunch that happens over and over. But multiple crunches happening spread out across infinity. Where our perception of the universe is just one tiny bit from a single crunch event. We are speeding up as the gravity of the other crunch events matter starts over coming the gravity from the matter from our crunch event.
Rinse and repeat forever across infinity.
You have some very good points. To bad it's AC.
Saying that. H2 is actualy very hard to store more than days. It's small and excapes, causes metal embrittlement, and the methods to combat those are costly and make trasportation an issue.(like keeping it at -300c)

Sorry late reply, but no, I was and am still against the iraq war. That was son trying to clean up daddies mess.
I don't use them because they are the lowest(amazon is consistently lower, and I can generally find a part cheaper elsewhere)
I use them because they cater to the PC market and it shows. They also put more care into their customers. And further they battle patent trolls.

Sorry you're missing much of whats gone on.
Start by looking at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/worl... and there are others that start their time line long before this year.
What I want to point out is
2009 is NK giving the world a finger and renewing their effort to get nukes. Before that date you see much plotical strong arming from various countries. After that date what do you see? Not much except for NK progress Nuke and missles.

Either NK gets what they want or we stop them.
I'm not Musk fanboy. But he's right in the fact his factories are in the US and not china.

It's building massive infrustructure now after we have learned al lthe lesons and develop new cleaner tech.
They had very little, 3rd world country type stuff, they jumped the gun with really dirty stuff for cheap, and continue to build out cleaner stuff.
They could also afford local labor.

Ah, well lack of vitamin C leads to Scurvy. So there are reasons for some plants. (Carnivores get their rounded diet by eating the whole animal not just the meat, the digestive tract)
The body does not turn protein into sugar, just some parts of your body can use protein as energy in the absence of sugar, glucose. (oversimplified)
