Seriously, does anyone over the age of 20 actually take any public posts on facebook at face value regardless of the number of likes they have? The wisdom of crowds is BS anyway - look at the endless succession of end-of-the-pier no hopers who win TV "talent" contests.
Underground metro systems are a tried and tested solution that have worked well since the 19th century. Using a vacuum tube and maglev instead of steel wheels on rails doesn't bring much to the table other than a high top speed, which for a metro is pretty useless anyway unless you don't plan on having intermediate stops. The ONLY thing the hyperloop brings is a windfall for construction companies and ditto for Musk if he holds the patents.
I don't know about other countries, but in the UK station car parks are full with people parking in residential side streets too. Commuting by car then train is extremely common, mainly because of horrendous in-city traffic jams, lack of city parking spaces and if you do find a space it'll cost you more per day than travelling in by train anyway.
At least some countries have the balls to give the finger to the ignorant CND hippies who still equate nuclear power with nuclear weapons because they have the square root of fuck all clue about the different types of reactor design.
I think the last time that phrase was actually valid was some time in the 18th century when the first steam engine was built.
Apparently you don't understand the fundamental problems with coal.
A) its produces the largest amount of CO2 per BTU of any fossil fuel
B) It doesn't matter how much you wash it, it still pollutes horribly even if you ignore the CO2 mainly due to sulphur dioxide and particulates in the smoke.
I was with you up until this point. No way is stack overflow a good place to learn to code. Half the answers to questions are either plain wrong or answer a different question. And while a lot of the rest just give an answer , they don't explain the logic behind it. Similarly with the code examples - cutting and pasting code is easy, understanding WHY it works is something else entirely.
You *might* just be able to learn one of those 3 in sufficient depth on a 3 month course. But all 3? No chance. Sounds to me like one of those courses that is designed simply to seperate people from their money.
... just as almost anyone can learn to drive. But it passing your driving test doesn't make you Schumacher. Like excelling at most things in life, becoming a good programmer takes innate talent plus years of practice. If you don't have either of those then you'll only ever be the guy driving the Prius to the supermarket, not the one lapping in a Porsche at Le Mans.
Presumably only if they're not counting CO2, unless somehow they've changed the laws of physics. More half truth marketing which makes me suspicious of all their claims.
The antenna is 2 stage - it picks up the EM waves which essentially get converted into vibrations of the same frequency which are then converted in electircal signals. Ok, I get that. But I don't get how the EM waves make it vibrate in the first place and surely if the antenna is normally far too small to intercept the waves of a given frequency they'll just pass it by and nothing happens?
I'm obviously missing something here but RTFA article doesn't help and the nature document is a bit over my head. Can anyone explain whats going on in laymans terms?
"Been hurt at work? Did you exoskeleton suddenly fail when you were lifting 200kg of blocks above your head 5 floors up? Now paralysed and being fed via a tube? Give Constructive Legal a call on....."
She's dead you brain dead plank and its the right wing site being expelled. Never mind following the news, you apparently can't even read 2 sentences properly.
Don't forget, the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs essentially torched most of the plant life on earth dumping quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere + heat far greater than we could ever manage short of nuclear war. Yet the earth still recovered.
However that doesn't mean we can't cause temperatures to rise beyond which agriculture becomes impossible over a large proportion of the leading to mass famine and war.
"Randomness is just a construct that we invented to fill the large, gaping holes in our understanding"
For "our" , read "your".
"I don't know shit, "
Correct, go learn something.
Some quantum processes have no cause, there is simply an effect - eg spontanious generation of particles out of nowhere. This is true randomness and could not be predicted even if we could bypass the uncertainty principle and know the entire state of every particle and field in the universe.
"If we knew the state of every charged particle in the universe at a given time, we could compute the radiated fields from each and arrive at the actual value of RF noise detected some time later."
No, we couldn't, because ultimately a lot of the causes of EM emission are quantum and they are truly random.
"If we knew the state of every charged particle in the universe at a given time"
Read up on Heisenbergs Uncertainty Principle then get back to us. You're a moron.

Easy problem to fix already - buy a diesel ;)

" It was pretty obvious from day one it wouldn't fly with Sony. Why would they give Microsoft a helping hand?"
Err, isn't this about giving GAMERS a helping hand, or have you forgotten about them , you know, the people who ultimately pay your wages?
"When rough conditions happen, you have no warning, because you are already in mud or tilted terrain."
Who the fuck would use a forklift in mud or on tilited ground?
Anyway, look on youtube, plenty of examples of people jumping clear.
You can jump clear of a forklift unless it has a protective cab. Good luck trying to jump out of an exoskeleton and it has no protective cage.
"Been hurt at work? Did you exoskeleton suddenly fail when you were lifting 200kg of blocks above your head 5 floors up? Now paralysed and being fed via a tube? Give Constructive Legal a call on ....."
etc.
Generally accepted by whom? Not anyone I work with. They just think its comical.
Please stop using this idiotic supposedly "cool" terminology, this isn't a cooking site or a hipster hangout. Just say "included with" FFS.

You might want to read up on quantum theory sometime when you're done with Sesame Street.
Tried, tested, already developed. Why is a new version needed?
Do people actually use this phrase outside of TV comedy shows?
