The pricing just needs to be more accurate, not aggressive. In fact, your Tesla Powerwall would work much better if the electricity provider would tell you accurate pricing for the next 24 hours, so you could optimize when to charge and when to provide back to the grid.
You mean that nuclear is superior in some of its aspects, and that you think these aspects are all that matters. The general public would be disagreeing.
The power company can suck it if they think they can control my appliances.
They don't have to. They just have to tell me what electricity is going to cost for the next 24 hours, and my smart appliances will find an optimum between price and comfort.
They license the patents to privileged cronys instead of just giving the knowledge to the world
You realize that in order to get a patent, you have to give the knowledge to the world ? So, what useful science has come out of this orbiting laboratory ?
NASA's next job will be to figure out a useful purpose for astronauts. Maybe they can show on camera how they drink water in microgravity ? Or see how plants grow ?
Unfortunately, the image quality is so shitty that the high resolution and low compression are completely wasted. It could easily been converted to a 2GB version without visible loss in quality.
I saw the movie in the theater in 1977, and I don't remember what it said. I wouldn't trust someone else's memory either. Eyewitness testimony isn't very reliable after decades, especially not when exposed to different versions of the events at later times.

An average wind turbine kills 4 birds a year. A cat kills 17.
Maybe it would help if they offloaded all the safety critical aspects to the lowest bidder ?

Can we stop making the surface of this wonderful planet ugly?
No, because we'll never stop making children.
But wind is growing faster, so we're installing more it.
Right. The world is completely rational and efficient.
The point is that nuclear is not superior in our irrational and inefficient world.
Science illiteracy can be found all over the political spectrum, unfortunately.

I don't mean more than we had before, but more than wind and solar.
If nuclear was far superior, we'd be installing more of it.
As the earth gets warmer, it is likely that long lists of items will have errors in them.
This would ultimately create a mostly female, reasonably yet underpaid company with a massive economic advantage
Assuming that the women would work well together, yes. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/fem...

Yes, that's what the summary said. It's the hardware makers that are quiet.
I know it's silly, but some people are interested in the details.
You know, like what happened along the US east coast in the 1980's and 90's when the "sea level will be 20ft higher" by 1990 and 2000'.
No, I don't know any scientific data from the 1980's and 90's that predicted a 2 ft/year sea level rise. Please add your references.
It's not worthless if you can sell the property to a bigger fool.

I couldn't name one of his songs
They are pretty much all called "Kanye is the best", and variations thereof.
But for the 16-256kB amounts we're talking about, it's usually SRAM, which requires very little power, and is on-chip.
Speak for yourself. I would like to know when he's considering to make music.
So it doesn't matter if the CPU is an ARM or x86, or what the environment looks like ? That's an impressive ROM.
