This is one move in the tariff negotiations between the US and China, which are still in the "playing chicken" stage.
(IMHO progress stalled when the loss of the House made Trump look weak, but will no doubt pick up again shortly - probably real soon if the state-of-emergency veto is upheld and/or if the Mueller investigation report comes out and it's "didn't find squat". But negotiations finish when they finish and don't always succeed.)
I expect that if/when an agreement is reached, China will be undo the "we will bury you - in your own rubbish" ban and business will return to the previous normal.
If not, and there IS enough money to be made from it (I doubt China was handing kilotons of our recyclables at a loss just to be nice), somebody else will step up. But nobody's about to invest megabux building another recycling operation right now if they think China will restart and dominate the market before it's even complete.
There are only 378 total 737 Max 8 airframes built. They are not flying them 100,000 times a day.
I'm not talking about the number of 737 Max 8s. Nor am I talking about just this system.
I'm talking about the number of flights of all aircraft containing one or more systems designed and approved according to that rule, times the number of such systems (averaged, weighted by number of flights) per plane.
He said virtually all equipment on any commercial airplane, including the various sensors, is reliable enough to meet the "major failure" requirement, which is that the probability of a failure must be less than one in 100,000.
One in a hundred thousand WHAT?
Flights? As of 2014 there's a bit over 100,000 flights per DAY! With a rule like that there should be on the average somewhat over one "major failure" per day per system of that classification level, which allows a single point of failure to exist.
You know "Smart TVs" can be turned into "Dumb TVs" by disconnecting from the internet, right?
No, I don't know that.
And as someone who's been helping to build the bloody Internet, and both hardware and software for it, for decades, I know several ways that such a box (with a camera and microphone connected to a networkable computer that potentially has one or more radio peripherals) could bug the room it's in and "phone home" with the results, even if not "connected to the Internet" in one of the ways prescribed by the manual.
And the spooks who specialize in this may have still more ways.
IMHO the horrible concept of watching a movie in the least comfortable way using the worst possible sound in a poor quality environment killed drive in theaters.
Actually, toward the end the sound was great. The theatres would have a low-power FM transmitter carrying the sound track. (Couple it to the wiring to the speaker cables, "carrier current" style, and the signal was strong at the cars but too weak to give free shows to those living or parked nearby.)
Tune to it on your car audio system and you got great - (at least) stereo - sound, not the awful squawk box sound from the old-style clip-on-the-window speaker.
Subwoofer lows would shake the car, just like they'd shake your seats in an indoor theatre.
It sounds like they are talking about a particular four-way hybrid.
Products of the final cross have an oversupply of anabolic steroids. They literally sit in front of a bowl of food and eat, building muscle and turning into a sedentary "Arnold Schwarzenegger" bird.
Saw some at a county fair auction. Other chicken types were aware of their surroundings, often looking at other chickens, hunting for bugs, strutting around and showing off, etc. These sat in a row, looking bored, ignoring the crowd and other animals, and desultorily poking at the straw on the platform in front of them, looking for something they'd recognize as food.
If you decide not to send them to slaughter it doesn't really matter much. They outgrow their circulatory systems and die shortly after market age.
We know one chicken farmer who stopped raising these, after he noticed that at market age the were still making the little chick "peep peep" call.
IMHO Daylight Savings Time was much of what killed the drive in theatres. Come summer, with DST, there wasn't enough time after sunset to attend a double feature and still get home and to bed in time to get up before sunrise and make it to work.
In the summer what we're short of isn't light. It's darkness. If the government must screw around with the clocks twice a year, they should move them BACK in the spring and return them to standard in the fall.
I never really understood why we "fell back" to standard time during winter, the one time of the year where the extra hour of daylight in the evening was the most useful.
To kill fewer children - as was noticed when the US went to year-round daylight savings time during the "energy crisis" (Arab oil embargo) of the Nixon years.
In the northern tiers of states (where the length of the day changes the most), children were going to school in the dark while sleepy drivers were commuting. This resulted in a substantial increase in the number of kids injured or killed in car-vs.-pedestrian accidents.
But I guess, in these enlightened times, it's now OK to kill a bunch of kids in order to "send a message" about saving energy.
"But the phone companies can't do that due to $TECHNICALITY"
Part of the $TECHNICALITY is that it would cost some of the carriers a lot of money to block them. Not spent on the effort, but lost revenue from the robocallers (who DO pay for network use, even if it's a pittance per call).
As long as that perverse incentive is in place, don't expect a lot of action from phone companies to block phone spam.
... we don't want our services to be used to manipulate people...
The information-theoretical definition of "reception of information" is that the receiver's behavior changes as a result.
So if their services "don't manipulate people", they're not sending any information that the people actually receive.
This corresponds to "duckspeak" - both Big Brother's and Donald Duck's, in two different but related ways:
* Like 1984's it consists only of the inner party's approved messages (which the listeners already know and don't change their behavior as a result of hearing the latest artistic rendering of a standard rant).
* Like Donald Duck's tantrums, It is all incoherent sound and fury, which the character at whom it's directed ignores (if he can even mange to parse it.)
Always thought the main purpose of traffic cameras is "money grab".
You're thinking about ticket-generating red light runner cameras in (at least) the United States.
The companies (and cities that install them) used to tout them as reducing accidents by reducing red light running. In fact, they increased accidents. People tend to jam on the brakes when they see a yellow light in a camera monitored intersection, resulting in rear-end collisions.
The drivers' behavior was reasonable, as the companies tended to shorten the yellow when installing the camera systems. (Often they shortened it below the legal minimum - which sometimes resulted in sudden invalidation of, and refunds for, all the tickets they'd generated, once somebody brought it to a court's attention.)
The camera company in my town gets a cut of the tickets - and a guaranteed minimum payment from the city if thenumber of red light running tickets becomes low enough that the contracted floor is not met. This encourages the city to keep the yellow as short as possible and minimize the amount of signage warning of the cameras - further increasing the rear-ender accidents.
And with snow on your panels, I'm sure they produced a LOT of solar power for you...
Seattle is at latitude 47.6. That means solar panels are normally mounted more steeply than 45 degrees, and those that are adjusted from time to time to track the seasons or skewed in favor of winter generation are even steeper in the winter.
The angle of repose of (dry) snow is about 38 degrees. So when the panels are really cold (like on a bitter night) it will just fall off, no wind necessary.
When they're hot it will either melt off or consolidate into a silverthaw (ice layer) which is transparent enough to pass substantial light. Once it's passing light, the inefficiency of the essentially black panel will turn maybe 3/4 or more of the incident solar energy into heat in the panel, encouraging a thick ayer of snow to melt on the bottom and slide off.
Yes, wet snow may stick and build up. But unless it builds up enough to block nearly all light, you'll get heating. See above. Or thaw a garden hose and spray water on it, to turn the snow transparent.
So you may find that soar panels in the Seattle region aren't as useless due to snowy weather as you think.
The real enemies of solar are heavy clouds and high enough latitude to shorten the hours of daylight and lengthen the atmospheric path of what light DOES make it to the panel, sucking out part of the energy. THERE Seattle has issues.
(I'm not a Seattle resident myself, so if anyone with actual experience with winter weather on Seattle solar panels is reading, PLEASE chime in.)
I'm pretty sure the do-it-yourself kit also includes radiation poisoning, shorter life span, and investigation by a nuclear regulatory agency since the persons involved would be glowing...
Not with a Farnsworth Fusor. These only put out a few million neutrons a second.
So you don't get radiation poisoning and don't become (substantially) radioactive from the neutron flux.
But a Farsnworth-Hirsch or Hirsch-Meeks fusor puts out a LOT of X-rays, from loose electrons accelerated across tens of kV slamming into electrodes. So you can take a lot of damage quickly if it isn't properly shielded.
Fortunately X-rays in the relevant range of energies are moderately easy to stop. A good thick metal vacuum enclosure will do it. Use thick leaded glass for any viewports and/or don't make a practice of hanging around it when it's running.
Small, cheap, TV cameras are a fusor-user's friend.
Verizon has announced plans to turn on its 5G mobile network in 30 U.S. cities this year.
Cities, cities, all the time cities!
Wireless isn't (just) about cities, where you have a concentration of devices to connect, short distances between them, and infrastructure for building infrastructure.
Wireless is about being able to serve customers WHEREVER they are.
Yes, that includes devices moving around in cities, in a sea of tiny cells to serve the enormous data throughput needs through the limited radio bandwidth. But, more critically, it also includes drive-through / flyover country, with a sparse distribution of devices which can be served by a handful of giant cells, cited on high pointsthe or towers.
This serves the city customers, when they're on the move through the thin spaces between cities, and (as a bonus) the the rural customers, too far apart to be served cost-effectively by landlines.
When cell phone service was first deployed, the limited number of carriers understood what they were selling was the ability to be connected to the (then voice only) net, no matter where they were
But the new generations of administrators of the sea-of-competitive-carriers, deploying the new generations of cell phone/data technology, in their (legitimate) pursuit of profit, have forgotten what it is they're selling. By trying to cherry-pick high density collections of usually-near-home customers to get the most financial bang for the infrastructure investment, they've left even their urban customers down when they're on the move.
The mistake is trying to treat each cell as a profit center, and not installing cells where the traffic through the cell doesn't pay for it (directly). This misses that a cell in a low-traffic are eliminates a hole where the customers who are USUALLY in a high-traffic area come to occasionally, and are suddenly not receiving the service they have paid for and may truly need. Revenue from a handful of residents in the boonies-cell's service area is a bonus.
So they're rolling out the new tech in a few cities? Well, you've got to start somewhere. (Yawn!) Wake me when they get enough of a clue to deploy a few rural cells, too, and create a coverage map that looks like a paint splash, rather than a few carefully drawn dots.
Correct, [angel'o'sphere] used the "name calling" fallacy according to Paul Grahams hierarchy listed in the link [a'o's] provided, a step below ad hominem. [A'o's]'s statement is literally used as the example in his chart. So not only do[oes a'o's] lose, [a'o's] REALLY lose[es].
Normally I don't agree with the strong distinction Grahm makes between name calling and ad hominem. But if we go strictly by his hierarchy:
You are an idiot.
Name calling. I WIN!
Why don't you read a book about the topic?
Ad hominem! (Implication the opponent is ignorant of the subject, an attack on "characteristics or [and] authority" without addressing the substance of the argument.) I win TWICE! B-)
One ridiculous medical quack cure after another, this one is from the *middle ages*, for God's sake.
Except they tried it on lab rodents and it seems to work very well.
Researchers are now trying to figure out what blood components are involved, to see if the gain can be had with synthetic compounds rather than whole plasma transfusions, and whether any of them will work on humans.
Eat from the food pyramid, get some exercise, take medicine only when necessary, and you will maximize your chances.
Wrong. The food pyramid turned out to be the result of a political battle (the guy saying starch good won over the guy saying fat good), with essentially no basis in science, promulgated for decades. Turns out, when its basis was actually questioned, and more research analyzed and/or performed and analyzed, it was shown to be a crock.
These results, based on actual, substantial, science, are now beginning to percolate into medical advice. I could go into detail but that's a big subject.
At least it appears to be an accidental crock, rather than a DELIBERATE crock such as the Wilson administration's WW I propaganda trying to downplay the risks of influenza, leading to the massive deaths of "The Great Influenza" pandemic of 1918, along with generations of laxitive addiction (from the propaganda claim that influenza was the result of "auto-intoxication" by intestinal bacteria and you could avoid or mitigate it by being "regular", as in once per day.)
The great influenza killed a LOT of people - 20-40 million, more than the battle casualties of WW I itself (16 million). But the Food Pyramid has created decades of overweight and heart/circulatory disease and deaths world wide, among people doing their best to be healthy. (In the US alone, heart disease is responsible for about 1/4 of the deaths, about 610,000 per year, and the Food Pyramid is responsible for much of that.) It will be interesting to see, once the numbers are all in, how it compares.

The movie studios that eventually dominated the industry were set up in California, to make it difficult for Edison to enforce his patents on his invention of motion pictures. (Similarly for the music industry and Edison's patents on sound recording.) Now we have MPAA & RIAA (which are themselves descendants of organized crime's jukebox extortion racket.)
