Yes, but the population of people has exploded. Hence the efficiency savings are washed out- If the fuel used per mile is less, but there are more people well there's more fuel being burned. Just less than if we had never improved the MPG.
The only reason why it's falling is because they count renewables as "fuel". So of course per unit of "fuel" consumed (and remember, solar radiation count as "fuel"), they emit less CO2. It doesn't mean the process of CO2 emitting thermal power plants actually improved.
They also base it on fuel used, not production outputs. Going from 8mpg to 40mpg is actually a very big deal. As is car pooling... If you have to fudge the data to make a point, perhaps it is the wrong point.
I am still stuck on how they totally ignore that we went from 8 mpg to 40 mpg in that time. I wonder if that reduced emissions at all? Talk about fudging the numbers. Pollution per person per mile has plummeted!
Coal is already the biggest source of power, and the easiest to ramp up... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Damn and solar plants are kinda hard to scale up fast.
That lack of electricity will make it kinda hard to charge all those electric cars... And most of that electricity that is there comes from coal,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_India#Installed_capacity and I am guessing the significant bump in demand will mean more coal, so how is this helping air pollution again?
I am against h1b because I think we should be going after people that want to stay here, not people that want to work and save and leave with their money. (Or send it "home.")
You're simply not going to retrain people in their 40s+.
Really? I am over 40 and most of the stuff I am doing now was not even in existence 10 years ago. Of course you can not expect anyone under 30 to be rational...;)
One thing's for sure, however: Musk's rockets are presumably designed to retrobrake and land nearly empty of fuel and free from top-heavy upper stages containing luna-bound cargo...
With 6 times the weight and distance. What you are talking about is simply a math problem.
Restored from a manual backup and admin happened to take. All the automated systems failed... That said, nothing promotes fire safety like a good fire.
The hard part is having a backup plan for your "cloud." Some places make it easy, but some make it VERY hard. Never used gitlab so I can not comment... But if YOU do not have a backup, there are no backups. As Codespaces users found out, and now Gitlab, kinda...
This won't be a popular opinion around here but I think the 'app store' model is a fine thing for consumers. They really do just want an easy way to get and use stuff. Average consumers are genuinely incapable of administering windows systems safely. (You and I can. But we're not average consumers)
The problem is that once they build it for the "Average Consumers" they take away everything else leaving the advanced users in the cold. Hence Windows 7 still being large, and Apple and Linux having some uptics. Of course Apple is doing their best to run off the power users too...
The only test that counts for me is time. Does it take more or less time for an unfamiliar user to complete a task? Does it take more or less time for a user that knows the UI well to complete a task? A lot of the new UIs fail on both of these.
You're right about people's motor and vision skills are not what they used to be, but I find that primarily to be because it's not the same people.
Things have been dumbed down for about a decade now, and young users expect things to be simplified, not having experience with anything else.
40-70 year olds have computer experience, and handle cascading menus, middle mouse buttons and overlapping windows just fine - it's the young generation that requires a single application on the screen with simplified controls. And not too many words they have to read.
tl;dr: It's dumbing down for a dumber generation.
I never thought of this before, but now I will have a hard time not thinking of it! That was damned insightful!
The point may have been but the execution was anything but! Every version on evey platform have changes... Some of these were deal breakers. Most enterprises have different virtual desktops for management of Network devices, storage devices and virtual servers because they all require specific and different (and mutually exclusive) versions of java!
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah... We have been working on that.
>...per person per mile has plummeted...
Yes, but the population of people has exploded. Hence the efficiency savings are washed out- If the fuel used per mile is less, but there are more people well there's more fuel being burned. Just less than if we had never improved the MPG.
And more people using electric power, so...

"Per unit of fuel used"

So solar works at night for you?
india at night --> sun in europe & africa
India is 4-6 hours off from all of Europe and Africa. That still leaves a lot of darkness!

So, WebMD really is the better option... ;)

Yep. 3 2 1. https://www.backblaze.com/blog...

I would mod you +1 Informative for that. Yes, automated backup of the cloud is key. You can not verify what you do not see.

That is the point. If you want a walled garden, others do it better. Windows was for people that wanted a general purpose computer. Key word "Was."
Why bother? It is not like those servers can compete with ASIC mining anyway...
Who does number two work for?

You mean on paper? Huh... why would someone do that?
Looks like you have a promising future in web design!
Number one, my ass!
