I would not trust anything coming from the FBI or NSA or the US at the moment... Because talk is cheap and the US is NOT trustable now (it may not have been under previous president, but trump and co smeared it on our face until we could not breath the stink). Evidences are king. A photo of the chip as well as decoded code , or micrography of it with evidence of concealment and data transfer would go a long way toward that. until then it is just as much hot air.
At about >1 MeV the half value layer of many rocks is in the between 10 and 20 cm , so by 10 half value layer (about 1 to 2 meter) of earth rocks , you get 1/1024 of the original radiation. 1 meter or so is not far far underground. See for example El-Taher, Mahmour, Abbady 2007 (Indian journal pure and applied physic).
OK regolithe is about 60% the density of what they tested but even assuming an exponential model or even go conservative and have the HVL to be 1 meter (!), you still won't need to be that far underground to get only 0.1% of the radiation.
And that include my family and friend. Most drive very aggressively, as much above the limit they can get away with, many ignore stops and crossing lamp at night, think they are the king of the road and two wheeler should just fuck off (bicycle, bike, moped) and that right of way or stop dont exists if the other road has a bike only. Everyday there us at least 20% if the driver bypassing me at less than a foot between us. I love truck driver on the other hand. So far in decades i had only one monkey too much near my bike. So hearing that they understand as much security measure as they understand rule if road is unsurprising. Most driver should only be allowed autonomous vehicule frankly.
The mathematical equation are still used. What your itnerpret them as MW, copenhagen wave collapse , or angel on a pin is pretty much unfalsifiable. Among my colleague copenhagen is still the majorly used interpretation , just look at QM article they speak of measurement and collapse. Not other world or angel on a pin.
Since when firm which have not yet even engineered a car , much less have a prototype may "give tsla a run for their money" ?
Emphasis mine
Lucid is planning a new high-performance electric car. It said the investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund announced Monday will allow it to finish engineering on its first car, the Lucid Air, as well as build a factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, and begin to sell the car by 2020. Saudi Arabia is already a big investor in Tesla. Last month Tesla CEO Elon Musk disclosed that the Saudis had taken nearly a 5% stake in his electric car company.
"the cost of transportation (including local transportation to and from ports)"* the need for surrounding physical infrastructure (like reliable electricity)"
You have a warped view of Africa, 19th century style. it ain't the shanty hut continent. This IS Africa : https://www.123rf.com/photo_71... and there are similar to other countries than Kenya. Yes when you go into rural country you don't see that cityscape, but between major country and capital there is even highway, major electricity production center, major university, major ports etc...
* the need for surrounding social infrastructure (like a hierarchical work ethic)
Which also exists in Africa. Or are you purporting African don't have any work ethic... ? No the real reason many firm are not in Africa, but in China are : 1) rare earth metal is more readily available today in China and combined with 2) China require for some raw material to have the stuff done locally and not export them (or do it in small quantity). They aren't dumb, both combined with cheap labor guarantee they get a lion share of what you cited.
In fact if you look at most of the EU economy, the web site are highly local, otherwise the rest of the economy are local service and exports... So your crash and burn would not happen.
EU only has law for EU zone the thing is American/world company want to do business on EU zone and thus are UNDER EU regulation. That is the important point. EU cannot do anything to google.com but can very well for google.de since it sells advertising to the EU. If you want to avoid EU laws and find them infringing on your local culture or whatever, then stop business with the EU ! Otherwise your complaint sound like you want to be free on local laws when you want to. This is not insightful. The EU does not legislate the world. EU legislate EU zone and the world want to do business there.
Google is about as evil as murdoch, it is just in its infancy and still mostly goes the way the user so they ignore the shadows looming. But there has been enough stories in the last years even on slashdot to show google is not better, it is just new. As long as the page are indexed I am OK with it personally. I always found "news scrapping" as google news seem to do to be borderline or even fully copyright infringement.
Until Brexit all laws voted apply to UK. And if you think for a SECOND that the UK government will remove that particular one post-brexit, when they will be lobbied left and right to keep it by content holder, I have a bridge to sell you in London. Cheap.
But the insurance industry does improve safety and prevent harm.
Only if the loss they hit in case of problem is higher than the cost of investing in prevention. If the loss is lower, then they don't care a iota on preventing harm.
about 10 megajoule per m^3...While towing iceberg water may cost less energy by order of magnitudes for the same quantities, keep in mind that the total world desalinization plant output maybe 200 million m^3 per year, roughly the amount they expect to finally get non-melted at their goal port. 200 million m^3 of desalinization is 2.10^15 joules or about a 70 MW plant running 365/24, that is not even counting the replacement pieces. Assuming about 35 Mj/liter of fuel, if they consume with their scheme less than 570000 liter or about 715 tons of fuel, then they are energy positive.
to put massive tariffs on Japanese machines to make them cost the same as Phipps' ones , but all that did was increase profit margins for Japanese companies and relieve price pressure on their manufacturing
Your explanation is incorrect , or at least this is not what hapenned. Tarif do not "increase profit" for manufacturer, as the tarif is paid on the importer side and directly to the governement. In fact manufacturer only sell the same price as before. If you export a 10$ widget and somebody put a tarif on 50% in the US, what it means is that you STILL sell it at 10$, but the tax import office take 5$ in addition from the importer when the goods are declared. Thus a tarif could not have helped manufacturer increase profit.
Boxes of ballot contain how many votes ? If your county are divided like by us a few thousand at most. Yes for 2000 it was exceptionally relevant, but it is much harder in a democracy where it is on paper ballot to cheat. Printing that much additional ballot can be found , having the whole LOT of people to distribute them in ballot box and remove true votes can be found out much easier. And if you use the method many country use to COUNT at the local level with volunteer first, with the box never out of the eyes of anybody, that is nigh impossible.
As for the failing chad, the simplest system is also the most proven : print your ballot on paper separated , 1 for candidate A , 1 for candidate B , separated, and ask people to put only 1 in envelope, and if they put two count them as "blank" vote. Et voila !
Sabotaging a government from the inside is as anti constitutional and as treasonous agaisnt the office as you can go. There is a constitutional remedy for incompetent (as in unable to fulfill office function) president and that is the 25th. It does not matter if it is Trump or Obama or whichever, sabotaging from the inside is way over the limit. Either give up your job, and let the president do its worst, then next elections there will be a rectification. Gee the republicans staffer are really dropping the ball here.
You have got to compare comparable values. Until we get a fix for the storage problem, solar, wind, are offload only. Storage is STILL a problem as you can't without huge continual investment have battery which can sustain power for days. That leaves very few baseload energy generations : hydro (pretty much tapped out at least in 1st world countries) geothermo (pretty much only volcanic area) , tide (experimental and unused) carbon based (coal/gas/oil and arguably waste burning) and nuclear. If you SOLVE the storage problem then you will be revered. But at the moment all solutions we have (mechanical storage pumping water, electro storage with battery, chemical storage of power), none are really usable on massive scale. And that is WHY in spite of so many possibility of renewable, people still go for carbon/nuclear for baseload.
TL;DR : renewable are intermittent generation power and thus unusable as baseload. The storage problem is not yet solved.
Meanwhile just one in seven have joined British start-ups.
The 1/7 joined start up, it says nothing about those who joined big firms or university or are just plain unemployed, or are working out of their study subject,e.g. they are now in accounting or whatever.
Where did you get the erroneous idea he would get out of murder ? What happens is 1) he is charged with murder 2) but in addition he is now on the hook for 14 month because he does not give his password. In other word, while they are investigating and getting the password from facebook with a court order, he is in prison for not giving up his password. If he get judged for murder , then the sentence would be in addition of that 14 months.
Seriously at middle school we were all swearing like sailor. In the environment I am right now we barely say it during normal conversation, only in case of stress. They are not called adult word everywhere by the way but rather in some culture. Here around they are curse words, swear words and similar name.
Basically let the children have those words, and once it is out of their system using it at school over and over and lose its lustre... Then you are fine.
"regulating and mastering your emotions" wrong by the way. Becoming adult is accepting that you do not get what you want and that every action has a responsibility. The "mastering emotion" is bullshit which lead to people repressing their emotion, depression, suicide, social isolation and pain of all sorts (not counting the same similar bullshit as "men do not cry"). It is better to show your emotion than pretend you are a master of it and stuff it in your psyche where it can fester all nicely.
A story about cyclist killed in Tajikistan (not London/UK) reported by the some foreign journal (again not London/UK) , as a counter argument about some part of London NOT being "no-go" as conservative pretend ? And YOU wonder why people don't trust your handling at facts ?
And yes I am "alpina white" Caucasian (as in pasty white & blond hair because the sun and me we ain't friends). Firstly there is the *perception* of feeling unsafe, and the reality. The reality is that those area (and the other one near Paris which were qualified the same way) are not "muslim" only I am the living proof (*touch self* yes still solid not a ghost). Look joke aside your friends sound like my old uncle, giving the *perception* of something but not knowing the *reality* of that thing, in other word your friend was not speaking of experience but out of the right wing perception of the fear the area attracts. Same with the perception of people having fear of muslim in general. I give up I doubt anything could convince you anyway.
Look, we aren't blind and deaf. When we see/hear stupid stuff like fox news comparing Denmark and Venezuela, or even many other completely ridiculous pretension like part of london being muslim only, and I pass many other, not even counting you have theblaze as conservative media we come to our conclusion alone why fox news is called faux news. You don't like it ? Then ask your conservative media to have a fact based reporting , rather than wishful thinking reporting.
Pretty much the only interesting feature they may want to hide is topography, for obvious reason, but that also can't stay really hidden for very obvious reason too that oceanography scientist, and anybody with sonar frankly, can measure the depth and make precise map. What this article about is only they found coral where none was found, and frankly that would not bring anything for the navy or anybody to keep it secret. This ins't about topographic feature again, this is about the local ecology of those known topological features.

With such cynical thought, nobody need to try to do any long term planning because it is automagically "glory grabbing bills".

" Germany, 30% German 70% anything else" the way I read it is different , it would be " Germany, 30% EU sourced 70% anything else".
