The process in which things like the solar panels and other electronics are created. Too many assume that all these things are "clean" and their is no environmental cost to making them.

You are 100% right, if the initial logic of diversity hiring was remotely followed. Originally, it said that companies could increase their markets by having people with different backgrounds adding input to create new things. What doesn't work is hiring people with different backgrounds to fuck up something people not of their background enjoy.
Riot rose to massive success using the golden business model appealing to the sexuality of teenage boys. Then, for some reason, they like many companies before them, think it is wise to switch business models and change to appeal to demographics that have no interest in using their product. The company will decline, and a new company will rise and the cycle will continue.
The president took a few million dollars and turned it into billions. He ran a successful campaign against the largest political machine of the century, and won. You....make trivial posts with no thought behind them. I am pretty sure you are the cartoon. Get off the jimmies and grow up, son.
Now, since you ask such simplistic, juvenile questions, prove that you do not self mod or get a friend to do it. Such trivial things should not be modded up by any thinking human.
Guessing by your comment, you are not a real engineer or involved in the energy sector at all. If there were truly a magic bean that we could use to reliably supply power at a competitive cost, it would be done. In fact, in regions where it really is possible, such projects as solar, wind etc are put into place. The bald truth is that the energy density of fossil fuels is really high, the level of engineering of the generators is really good and highly efficient, and the reliability of production is amazing.
The idea that there is a cartel of evil men twirling their mustaches saying, "WE LOVE TO POLLUTE AND WILL CRUSH ALL IN FAVOR OF CHEAPER, CLEANER POWE, mu hahahahahah." is just the stuff of (bad) cartoons. Perhaps, you need to grow up and leave such trivial thinking, like the cartoons behind.
It's funny. Each and every day, I read posts on slashdot from passionate progressives who demand green initiatives, fair wages, and tons of social programs. Being of the same mindset, Apple delivers.
Yet, the bald truth is that all of these things, that you claim to love, cost money. This is the main reason behind the Apple tax, or why their products simply cost more. The green energy costs more. The attempt at policing slave labor at Foxxcon costs. The using of more green materials raises has a price tag.
It is easy to say you are a good progressive, and want all these things. It is another to ADULT, and actually pay for it.
To clarify, the united states spend far more on k-12 education per student than any other country, yet we rank about 30th. If you look closely at upper level STEM classes, the top students tend to be from other countries, especially Asia. In Asia, they definitely have no tradition of teaching "critical thinking." Yet, by all measures they are producing better students. For a while, we could mask this deficiency by simply importing the best and brightest from elsewhere. Now, as the economics in other areas of the world improve, these people are staying home.
This is slashdot, new for nerds. A sub-population that prides itself on tech knowledge and analytical thinking. If you are being observant, you will have noticed that the pole of innovation is moving away from the U.S. Vaunted Apple has fallen, with Asian companies like Samsung making the lion share of innovation. This is said every day on these forums and modded up, yet, are you going to pretend what I am saying is new? New discoveries in physics and medicine are happening with increasing frequency not in the U.S. Our so called critical thinking is not bearing fruit in any measurable way.
In your anecdote, you miss a few key details. Critical thinking without a grounding in fact is just imagination. While story time is fun, it has no place in the world of tangible results. You said in the real world, you will not get far by covering the general consensus. Medicine, civil engineering, and supply chain people would disagree, if they are being honest. It turns out, in established fields, the text book is generally right. Y does = mx +b, and the human body does operate by defined rules. Nearly 99% of what we do is based upon fact and incremental change. Dreaming and leap forwards to have their place and do happen, but in truth, that is a small part of what is going on.
Perhaps, the greatest irony about you saying that you will not get far by assuming the consensus is correct is that is in itself, a consensus statement. The comment about yours (consensus) was modded up, your comment was modded up. Mine, the only one pointing out the farcical nature of this consensus, was simply not.
Actually, it is about memorizing text books. If you do not have a huge background of facts and a high level of understanding, then you are regulated to scientific baby talk and will achieve little of value. Curiosity comes easy, knowledge does not.
Ahh, the whole, we don't teach something useful, but teach people how to learn trope. This is a genius level catch phrase, since it justifies nearly anything and is never examined for accuracy. It makes you feel good. It sounds good, but at the end of the day, is meaningless.
As an engineering college professor, I can attest to the fact that this is used all the time, by people who teach impractical things. Yet, there is no validating evidence that what they teach matters, helps people learn, or teaches problems solving. At best, it comes down to anecdotes or , "well, if it was good enough for D'Vincci"
In other cultures, they do not claim this or teach these things not really study them. They focus on the necessary, and frankly, are beating us badly. We produce students with far less competent in math and science, and it is beginning to cost us as world economies improve and brain drain happens less often.
From the perspective as a Texan, we would like to welcome our California brethren fleeing paradise lost. But, for the love of fuck, please understand that Ca is exactly screwed up for a reason, and do NOT bring that failed culture to other places. There is a word to describe those who eat out a healthy host and move on to a new one...
So, a group of scientists ban together to desperately plea that their should be funding for an already funded avenue of research? Furthermore, since there are no current plans to eliminate this research, it is import to panic each and every person that you know, that we should ban together and work very hard to stop the government from canceling this vital research, that they had no intention of canceling.
The sad thing is, so many people on this forum are so blinded by irrational hate that they accept the darkest parts of their imagination as unquestioned fact.
To some life forms with a certain point of view, civil society is developing a preference for the non-threading, emotional positive form of communication that some but not all refer to as NewSpeak. Due to misogynist, patriarchal, and racial bias of European based civilization, no correct thinking person would read the heteronormative propaganda that some maladjusted life forms would self-proclaim as classics, wrongly implying they had more, not equal value, to the works of other races, cultures, or pronouncement by any person. In doing so, these misogynist, patriarchal, racist individuals hatefully believe that ev***, I mean non-normative points of view, may become prevalent.
For the record, who ever voted this as a troll is a complete ass. It was a sincere question, and I had some fruitful responses. Asking questions is not trolling, dumbasses.
As far as midterms goes, that was not a kick in teeth. Based upon this historically minimal loss, and the general positive things in the economy etc, you might want to consider your hatred of Trump and republicans is fairly irrational. You have been likely screaming at the top of your lungs impeach trump, even before he was in office. This is not the mindset of an intelligent being.

I am not sure why the AI thinking members of congress as criminals means that it got it wrong. Seems about right to me, all things considered.
Next, they will make psychic cells that say "I see apoptosis"
HOW DARE you try to enforce your genetic based stereotyping!
Obviously, one of the twins identified as a Night Elf Mohawk, and now they have the genetic data to show this.

To save the environment, you are going to use a a series of highly polluting CVD technologies? Do people even think things through remotely anymore?

Sure, but at least Apple saved money in the long term with cheap labor....
Hahahahha

We get a great deal of hurricanes in the gulf coast, making the real world utility of that much coastal based wind impractical.
