This is why slashdot has become irrelevant to me. I have/use none of those either. Technology/geeky ideas has slowly morphed to company product placement.
I think when they say tipping point, they mean bifurcation point which is just the transition from one limit cycle to another. But dumbed down so people can repeat it and sound like they know what they're talking about.
A btu (british thermal unit) is the same as watt. Actually, it is the same as a joule, but more often people skip that part and instead mean btu/hr.
1btu=1055J
1btu(per hour)= 0.2931watts=1055J/3600sec
I think Th on a home ac is around 350, and as long as it's cooler than that outside it will blow 285 inside. Efficiency goes down and more energy is required as Th->Tamb
As Detroit Electric continued their decline, they bought car bodies from other manufacturer's (DeSoto I believe) and performed a relatively simple conversion.
AFAIK, there have always been third party aftermarket conversion kits available.
This exactly. Companies that I've worked for were far ahead in technology than any of the schools that I attended. Additionally, we were better funded and fed data and results back to professors quite often.
How easy do you think it will be for disgruntled truck drivers to smear some mud on said radar disabling the truck until someone can drive out to clear it off? Handheld GPS spoofing will become a hot item on ebay.
Yup. That's exactly what I did (except I only charged $15). I can look out my front window and see half a dozen business opportunities that I wonder why people aren't taking.

What I mean is that Russian election tampering use to be common knowledge and tv fodder.
Have we learnt something since?
Yes. Do not simultaneously declare war on the US and Russia. Finish Russia off first.
According to my mother, a vote for Bernie is a vote for Trump. That's why.
The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing by Joost Meerloo. I think they learned it from the Chinese.
tilts toward one political party or another
I thought they were going after all sides to instigate division.

Heating is much more energy intensive than cooling
I did,but not for any longer than I normally stare at the sun. Think I'll develop eye cancer in the next 50 years?
I remember the max temperature of 323 in 1990, It sucked, but not any more than any other summer day.

Baumol's cost disease"
Most people aren't primarily motivated by making money. Or else everyone would have two or three jobs and sleep 2-4 hours a day, right?

slave labor and slave wages continue to exist.
As well as the Amish.

The Mormons will take over
In case of solar flare, everyone under the age of 30 will commit suicide.
They're low paid
My friend makes $150k/year. But then he's certified to haul everything except nuclear waste. It takes a lot of training and 15+ years experience.
Yup. That's exactly what I did (except I only charged $15). I can look out my front window and see half a dozen business opportunities that I wonder why people aren't taking.
