Detroit is just toxic, too many people in power are corupt to the point 3rd world stereotype corupt; and they make to much money off race-baiting to ever let it end.
You seem to have a certain idea of how affirmative action works that is different than mine.
That's OK, being wrong doesn't mean your a bad person, just misguided. Afirmamtive Action Programs are racial discrimination pure and simple and contrary to MLK's vision of a colors-blind society.
The reason to push for ethanol is that corn ethanol could be a temporary bridge to cellulosic ethanol, which is much lower in GHGs. The science isn't there yet to do cellulosic at scale, but regs like the LCFS or EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard guarantee that there will be a long-term market, and make private industry more comfortable in investing in the technology.
Some times you do actually have to read the article, the article is not about making Ethanol from the sugars and starches in the grain portion of the corn plant like everybody is assuming, it's about making ethanol from the stalks, leaves and cobs normally left on the fields.
Corn stover -- the stalks, leaves and cobs in cornfields after harvest -- has been considered a ready resource for cellulosic ethanol production.
This is a bad idea because it removes organic matter from the soil and making it less fertile, more easily compacted and more prone to errotion. Fields in that condition require more fertilizer and increased tillage to maintain productivity.
Must be enough to make your head explode working at the NSA, half your people want to be able to break into any computer, the other half wanting o make it impossible to break into any computers.
So did Phill Jones at the Climatic Research Unit of the University of E. Anglica but that expectation of privacy didn't stop the character calling him/herself FOIA from releasing all the Emails that were required to be released by GB's Freedom of Information Act.
If you put random data into Mann's formulas you always get the hockey stick? Even "random noise?" Wow, where's the citation for this? And why does he need Mann's personal emails then? It seems like he could show Mann was a liar and phony pretty easily if "random noise" reproduces the results.
The citation for random noise; also note that just because the computer programming implimentation of Mann's formulas is wrong doesn't mean the Mann's formula themselves are wrong.
The GRL article, “Hockey Sticks, Principal Components and Spurious Significance” <http://www.climate2003.com/pdfs/2004GL012750.pdf> identifies what is almost certainly a computer programming error in the principal components method used in MBH98. The error causes their PC method to nearly always identify hockey stick shaped series as the “dominant pattern” in a data set (the so-called “first Principal Component” or PC1), even when the data are just random numbers. We carried out 10,000 simulations in which we fed “red noise”, a form of trendless random numbers, into the MBH98 algorithm . In over 99% of the cases it produced hockey stick shaped PC1 series.
Steyn said Mann's "hockey stick" graph was fraudulent, which the above citation appears to support, Mann is suing Steyn for defamation claiming that Steyn called Mann the person a fraud, which is sufficent to allow Steyn pretty wide berth durring the discovery phase to look into Mann's professional conduct and correspondance to deduce past behaviours as part of Steyn's defense. Additionally Steyn is a journalists, and Mann is by most common standards a public figure so the rules governing libel and slander are different then for most of us peons living in anonymity.
The problem wasn't that the results weren't reproducible from the data, the problem was any data reproduced the results; even random noise reproduced the results.
Do you want all your email and documents published to the public? If not, what do you have to hide?
If your a public servant sending and receiving Emails via a publicly owned servers, while on publicly paid for time, you had better be prepared for the eventuality that everything will be made public. Sooner or later these Emails will be leaked, all it takes is one FOIA, Manning or Snowden and all your secrets are public!
Your assuming that heartbleed was a bug and not an undocumented feature requested by a Governmental sponsor, even unwashed libertarian programing hippies have to eat.
I reverse-engineered the old Microsoft assembler for CP/M to give it an advanced feature it lacked and did it strictly on my own time and for my own private benefit (pre-DMCA).
Disassembling something like SSL is several orders of magnitude more involved than an assembler for CP/M, but I'll give you extra points if you remember what run #400 did.
When windows 95 upgrade came out and I migrated from windows 3.1, all went well because file-manager was still there from win3.1, then I got my first machine with win95 only and it took me two days to figure out what the start menu was.
It was a catch-22 situation, philosophically Democrats hate the Industrial-Millitary complex, and philosophically Democrats, (like most Americans) support the troops. It's pretty hard to hurt the Industrial-Millitary complex without hurting the troops, yet NASA is a pretty good suragate for the Industrial-Millitary complex as a lot of the subcontractors are the same and no troops to worry about. Of course I'm probably giving too much credit and they really were that stupid.
The US really does go batshit crazy when somebody attacks us, especially when the attack is on civilians; I think something on the order of 1 or 2 thousand jihadists have been killed in Iraq and Afganistan for every casualty in 9/11. Sooner or later people will figure that messing with the US is just like kicking a hornet's nest.
I could have signed up for a plan that paid 60/40 after a $10K deductable and actually gotten $2400.00 of the subsidy back at income tax time! That would have been a benefit, just not a healthcare benefit.
OK, hot, yes, but wouldn't they need something combustible to actually erupt into flame? Or what am I missing?
The answer is PV = nRT the ideal gas law, as the projectile is moving at mach 5 it compresses the air in front of it and when the temperature of the compressed air reaches about 650C it looks like fire, which is gasses at about 650C.
There is a youtube video where the weapon is initiated (fired isn't quite appropriate as there is no fire involved) and you can definitely see the barrel recoil within the gun base. The M114, 155mm howitzer firing the M107 he projectile masses at 43Kg and has a muzzle velocity of 564 m/s resulting in at least 24252 Kg*m/s of recoil; the railgun fires a 10 Kg projectile with a muzzle velocity of 2235 m/s resulting in 22350 Kg*m/s or 8% less recoil (power) than a howitzer; 1.3678128e7 J vs. 4.995225e9, but 365 times more energy.
Oh come on, this study is bogus, the artcle said it was a double-blind study, but there is noway in hell that a violinist of sufficient skill to extract from a Cremonese violin anything close to it's potential, wouldn't know a 300 year old instrument the second they picked it up; this study neither proves or disproves anything.
One difference no one talks about it that the wood in a stringed instrument "loosens" as it's played as the wood is exposed to sonic nodes and antinodes and developes it's tone; if it's hard to tell the difference between an elite modern violin and a Strad now, wait untill the modern has been played of a 1000 hours!
I'm sure when you signed the legaly binding contract to get the source code that you'd have to have to modify to compile to get the binary patch, their was a clause prohibiting you from distributing any binaries from the source or derivatives of the source.

but the study used “multi-proxy climate reconstructions” and a lot other fancy sounding phrases.

Seems like uranium would be more massive than that at the apparent volume of the projo.
Well actually in O2 + Cl2 -> 2ClO, oxygen would be the fuel and chlorine would be the oxidizer.
