We're at 25% renewable plus about 12% hydro. Nuclear (the one plant) is shy of 10%. In a little less than a decade, renewable will easily eat that remaining 10%.
I've got nothing against nuclear. I toured the plant last year or the year before. Super impressive.
Anyway, it's my understanding that Diablo Canyon isn't being shut down by regulators so much as PG&E can't make a profit from it. Solar and Gas are too cheap for [heavily regulated] nuclear to be profitable.
Been there. Though I can't read or speak it, so I really didn't notice what they were selling at the cosmetics counter. Not that I have a very firm grasp on what they're selling at cosmetic counters here, either.
What the article meant by 'white' is caucasian. And when I suggested that the number of caucasians in China is pretty low - compared to the ratios they're referring to in the article, I think I was spot on.
So, specifically, what I was saying is this: to suggest that Apple (the company) is being racist by placing stores in predominantly caucasian neighborhoods is to ignore the fact that they also deal in countries that are (as a ratio), practically free of caucasians.
And the subtle suggestion is that maybe they're just putting stores where they'll make money, and that it's not actually a racist motivation.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan either. I keep hoping they'll add the dynamic part - but it sure doesn't seem like that's gonna happen.
It makes me a little sad - I wanted to love swift. But I'm coding in ruby - which I think of as the ObjC of scripting languages. And I freakin' love it.
In an effort to further enhance public understanding of al-Qa'ida, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on 1 November 2017 released additional materials recovered in the 2 May 2011 raid on Usama Bin Ladin's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
With the release of these materials, the information remaining in the collection that has not been released publicly includes materials that are protected by copyright; sensitive such that their release would directly damage efforts to keep the nation secure; pornography; malware; and blank, corrupted, and duplicate files. The entire collection has been available to the US Intelligence Community and Department of Defense organizations for years.
The Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) previously released documents from the collection on 20 May 2015, 1 March 2016, and 19 January 2017 after an interagency review spearheaded by the CIA. The releases align with ODNI initiatives for increased transparency - consistent with national security prerogatives - and the 2014 Intelligence Authorization Act, which required the ODNI to conduct a review of the documents for release.
CIA's 1 November 2017 release includes additional al-Qa'ida letters, videos, audio files, and communications, as well as routine family correspondence. As a result, it builds on the ODNI releases that provided material relevant to understanding the plans and workings of terrorist organizations. The material is posted in the original Arabic and in as close to the original form as possible, modified only so the files cannot be edited.
Escape speed from 1 AU (Earth's orbital radius) is about 42 km/s. The speed of this object, stated as 156,400 km/h, is just over 43/km/h. Assuming the object is a bit more than 1 AU from the Sun right now, it will escape the solar system but not by a wide margin.
When you say "not by a wide margin", what do you mean? Because escape velocity means it'll end up infinitely far away, given infinite time, right?
Los Angeles used to be like this... then we had the Clean Air Act and cleaned it up. (Of course, now Trump is dismantling the Clean Air Act so we'll be like China soon).
I grew up in LA in the 70's. It was really bad. It was never like this.
And while Trump is doing his best to make things horrible, California remembers and won't roll back their own requirements.
You look at those pictures and think that it's amazing it was that bad, one day. It wasn't. It is that bad nearly all the time. It is a hellscape and it is killing them by the millions.

My sympathies. I never used the firefox tool, but I understand the frustration with disappearing readers.
I recommend https://theoldreader.com/ as a replacement.
Ouch. It did not take much to /. them...
So... can you articulate why you use vi for quick edits? emacs has various vi-modes. So - why vi at all?
I know why you use vi for quick edits and emacs for long ones. It's because 30 years ago vi fired up and emacs took its time, right? Same for me.
Why do you still use vi for quick edits? Launch time is no longer a factor, right?
I use vi for quick edits and atom for anything more than a line or two...

True. I wonder how that looks lin other countries.

It doesn't look like a very big list anywhere, does it?
On the one hand, I feel bad for my northern neighbors.
On the other hand, how the hell are you going to pay to cover that huge area with such a small population in most places?
Apple cash: >200B
Disney Market Cap: ~166B
That doesn't seem like a contest.
Pets.com had assets. Yeah, they were a tiny fraction of what they were valued at.
The difference is that bitcoin has nothing.
If I pay for one of these sites (WSJ, LAT, etc), will I be paying for the privilege of seeing ads, too?

Absolutely not. Way closer to C++ or maybe C# in that it is all about compile time. Very little about the language feels dynamic. Nearly nothing.
No... games without micro transactions are the only ones I play - and there are plenty of 'em coming out.
If you support micros, that's the road you've chosen. There are plenty of others.

He's describing really shitty air pollution and you call him lucky?
I don't think that word means what you think it means.
... no, he's describing something that is really shitty but much better than it usually is. I'm calling that lucky.

Maybe you mean "not at a great speed?"
You were exceedingly lucky in your timing and or location.
