It seems to be a running theme. If you center your life around one of your attributes then all advantages and disadvantages are a directly related to that. I wore red shoes and found a $10 bill, must be lucky shoes. I wore red shoes and the cashier was grumpy to me, he must hate red shoes. Facebook is being a shitlord because I can't be "RedShoes Webber" anymore.
When this happened, bulb manufacturing could more or less be run monetarily and regionally by Phillips.
Now though, you'd need a massive conspiracy that involves at least the US, Europe and Asia, and I don't think China would play ball.
Mirrors are a whole lot cheaper than PVs. If you have PV that can handle 10x the flux normally provided by the sun then it makes a lot of sense to make a mirror array 10x the size the of the PV.
That's exactly why I left windows phone or whatever it was called about 3 years ago. Every time I went to look for an app there was an Android and iOS version, but no winmo... which was infuriating, because most of the applications had a windows desktop version, and I'd think it would be a whole lot easier to recompile and troubleshoot in the mobile net framework than to rewrite everything for Android/iOS.
I know that there is a HUGE difference between developing real applications and just playing around in visual studio, but making simple apps for windows mobile required no additional knowledge outside of just compiling for the mobile net framework.
Isn't the other statistic that 1 in 5 women in the US have been sexually assaulted? So, that's a 20% baseline.
I imagine somewhat of an increase in sexual assault if you're working in a field that is predominantly the opposite sex. Plus I'm sure there are some other modifiers for the field that you simply aren't going to be able to change, like the types of people that get into those fields - I don't mean peverts, but maybe higher ambition or drive can contribute to crossing the line between flirtation and a meeting with HR.
---It could also be that educated and motivated females are less tolerant of assault and more likely to report it.---
Or maybe science makes nerds horny (half joking).
CSPAN is pretty damn essential. Sure, most of it is just ambient noise for catching sleep in a hotel, but just about anytime you see or hear any footage of some politician doing actual dumb stuff while at their job - it's from CSPAN.
WARNING CITIZEN - As of 20:34 Sept 20 2014 you have consumed 90% of your allowed American Culture Units (ACU). If you exceed 100% of your allowed units you must report to your local Canadian Reintegration Center within 15 days. Your ACU allotment will reset on Oct 1, 2014.
Alternatively - Netflix tells Canada that it will pull Canadian content off of their service.
I've watched some great Canadian stuff on Netflix that I would have normally never found. Netflix is in the business of promoting what's good (and their own stuff...). If you want Canadians to consume canadian made stuff then just keep on making good stuff. This sounds like something Saudis would do.
Plus, space travel should be seen as somewhat of a HUMAN achievement. Sure, let's keep an air of competition, but if you think that the US or Russia did what they did without a whole lot of help from people from other countries then you don't know your history.
How is ubiquity of cameras making them inane exactly?
You don't need a 'real' camera to capture a real moment. Cell cameras are great because they let you capture the stuff that you would normally forget. I can go back in my archive to cell pictures of the dumbest shit from 6 years ago and remember that moment. Even if it was just a good dinner I had, and that feels nice. Bulky cameras are great for professional jobs, but as a regular person just wanting to capture a memory they are less and less relevant.
It looked like Microsoft was going to do really good things with Scalable Fabric, but it hasn't been updated since like 2004. That combined with the outlook live desktop hack was pretty great for work. People keep on hacking virtual desktop managers together, I don't understand why MS has waiting this long catch up.
The start screen is silly, but it's so easy to not have to deal with. Hit Winkey+D.
Ohh noes, whurs my start button?? Hit the Winkey and type the first few letters of the app you want.
MS bet on people making decent metro apps, and so far every metro app is a broken and restricted version of the desktop app. Just get rid of that interface, it failed!
Nuclear waste is only a problem if you have a massive misunderstand as to the scale of the waste. We're not talking about literal mountains of waste, we're talking about under 100,000 tons - for all of it from the USA since forever. You can do one big project and store all of it, nearly indefinitely. The story of Yucca Mountain is what happens when you have to involve people that want a project to fail instead of just getting the damn thing done.
Nuclear weapons are mainly not used right now because they are so damn slow. When you want to nuke someone on the otherside of the planet, you want them blown up right friggen now. Then some douche tells you, "Sir, the best we can do is 8 hours." and you're all "WHY THE FUCK DO WE HAVE THESE THINGS TO BEGIN WITH???'
Clearly if we make nukes fast enough everyone will use them.
Seriously though, with laser missile defense systems nowadays are hypersonic missiles really that big of a deal? I mean the systems that use lasers to burn up the missiles, not the laser guided ones where you still have to shoot at a bullet flying at you.
Not much will really come of this. NATO reps have already said that they aren't getting involved because Ukraine isn't in NATO. Now heads of states are touring other small NATO countries basically saying "LOOK. YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU AREN'T WITH US." The worse Russia does to Ukraine the better NATO looks to other Eastern European countries.
Did the news for get that Russia invaded Ukraine months ago, and is still actively occupying part of the country? Nothing happened then. We couldn't even get decent sanctions together. The worst thing we can do is get involved, because the west never finishes anything. We'll pop in for some support, rally up their population and then leave them with their asses in the wind. None of that matters, because we aren't going to do a damn thing. World powers don't fight world powers anymore, it sends a bad message to smaller nations.
Good CEOs typically have the gift of being able to get shit done, doesn't matter what or when or why, they just make it happen, most of the time through connections and social engineering - but they get paid what they get paid because no one else can do it. They don't need to understand the tech, they pay people to do that for them.
I have trouble understand why supposed 'geeks' get so angry about the metro interface. If you are even slightly above an average MS user then you are using the shortcut keys constantly. The Metro interface is basically a splash screen that can run some silly apps. What gets me is the crap wireless settings page, issues mousing over large files, display crashes and they still haven't fixed the "go ahead and share my whole/users folder" issue from Win7.

I'm having a really hard time understanding how people are thinking that good PVs are cheaper per unit area than a mirror array...

I got an adapter to make mine run on pocket farts.

Buy some solar panels to offset the raised usage and keep at a lower tier?

I think Emerge is still around. I moved to it when I got bored w Litestep. It's a bit messy to set up, but once you get it right it's worth it.
It really defeats the point of having a personal library if other people can put whatever they want in it.

I'm totally paying all of my bills, they are just deferred indefinitely. Why can't Comcast get this?
