Seriously, this is funny. MS and Google pretend to care about human rights here, but then in China, they will happily help Chinese gov murder their own while also helping their military get ready to fight the west. Amazing.
It is no longer renewable, but clean. That is the smart way. It is foolish to commit just to wind/solar with storage. We need an.energy matrix. We also need to quit adding natural gas power plants. Last year, we went up a couple of %, and that was due in large part to nat gas electricity.
yes, but not needed.
4G is already there, and sats are coming with decent speeds/times. So, better to use 4G for phones and let the sats(or the phone companies) compete for rural broadband.
What I find interesting is that the feds can happily subsidize RBOCS, etc to compete against true free enterprise, and oppose local govs from doing fiber as utility.
I think that Trump/GOP are subsidizing this to compete against 1-web, starlink, etc.
Sadly, they are great with subsidies when it helps their favorite businesses who fund them.
America does not make the 5G equipment. Are we buying from Europe, or China, specifically, Huawei? Also interesting that Trump/GOP want to subsidize this when multiple sats are about to come on-line with 1G bandwidth with 20 ms pings across the globe and for under $70/month.
and yet, you have not seen Mueller's report.
As it is, Muellers team is already hinting that Barr's report was not accurate nor did it justice.
So, once the intelligence/Justice committees get the unredacted report, then we can talk about it.
This is MS. Add in Google, FB, and not surprised that when Chinese gov says Bend Over, they do it.
these assholes are simply handing over everything like GM, Ford, and Chrysler did.
Again, Caffeinated Bacon continues to prove what an idiot he is.
BEAM is fabric, so quite different than metal and plastics.
In addition, it is possible that BEAM is using microban OR better yet, silver threads would be better. Bacteria, and I believe, Fungus do not thrive on that.
So, CaffeinatedBacon(Crimson Tsunami) how else will you prove that you are a lying idiot?
you have to right.
I was being sarcastic about throwing him in jail. That is exactly what we used to do. America's real problem is that we used to spend money on mental health, but then the GOP esp under reagan, cut it way back. Said that we were pampering ppl.That was the crazy thing. Basically, it was GOP wanting to rob peter to pay themselves. It is actually cheaper to society to pay for mental health than to pay prison costs (as well as the crimes including murder that will occur otherwise).
As to the GPS, I have no issue with listening in. He signed up for it in place of jail. unless things have changed, in Illinois, you are allowed to record conversations as long as 1 party knows about it (i.e. no spying). The kid knows that he can be recorded so, 1 party does know.
Caffeinated Bacon, you continue to be an idiot.
My father was an AA pilot starting in the 60s. I got to fly in 707s, DC-8s ( as well as a DC 7 several times ). We had a LOT of weather and flew through it regularly. With the dc-7, its ceiling was such that you flew through the storms, not around. And even in the 8s & 707, they flew through plenty of thunderheads.
It appears that up in the arctic, that Alaska is losing the most, followed by western Canada, and then it just keep flowing around, with eastern Russia losing the least. So, where is Alaska getting all that warming from? It can not be the lower 48 since in the upper northern hemisphere, it will move north east. When will the far left acknowledge where the large CO2 amounts are coming from and change them.
One other thing that was not considered. Back in the 60s, fuel was cheap, esp. in America. Jet engines burn through it amazing fast. Well, the early 707 and 727 had Jet engine. It was only in the last 60s that turbofans came into being with the 747-100 being the first to use one. But, jet engines are faster than turbofans. The early 7[023]7 moved at mach.8-.9. Now, most are.75-.85.
That was why Boeing wanted to develop the SOnic Cruiser which would cruise at mach.98. But airlines want cheap to operate, which means better fuel efficiency.
If you read further down in the article, you find that this company is selling software that is supposed to improve things.
Yet, I doubt it. Weather is your real issue.
For example, the good captain speaks about flights coming in too late or too early and how his software improves that. Fact is, if a flight leaves late, and flight crew does nothing, then it will likely arrive late (tailwind could change things). So, a good flight crew will ask ATC for more direct routes and will likely cruise at faster speeds (however, increasing fuel usage).
Yeah, I do not buy what he is saying. He is just marketing.
Because these flights were consistently late, airlines have now baked delays experienced for decades into their schedules instead of improving operations.
RIght there is the problem with media not undstanding what is going on, nor really looking into it.
The airlines used to give the average time. The fact is, that flight times vary due to a number of factors.
1) the flight might take off late due to local weather, or because OTHER airports in the system is backed up.
2) a flight might catch a STRONG headwind, or tailwind as in 50 to 100 mph. So, assuming 100 mph and a typical cruise speed of 560 mph, that means that flights might move at 460 or 660 mph. HUGE difference.
3) a flight might have to head 300-500 miles out of the way to avoid large thunderheads or simply to avoid hard turbulence, which most passengers are afraid of.
4) typically, if a large airport in a system (for America, ATL, ORD, LAX, DFW, and DEN are the top 5 airports), which any of these airports can be slowed way down or even shutdown due to weather), it will back up other airports.
5) Finally, flight operations CAN slow things down, but generally, this simply adds time to EVERY FLIGHT in/out of an airport.
So, claiming that it is flight operations is pointing at a minor issue, rather than the above major ones.
even better has been that companies like ATT, verizon, and govs like China have been building out the net. If you have faith in them, you are making a HUGE mistake.
Century? Nope. Back in the 60s it was colder than this. If we are really lucky, we will see multiple years like this one. But, that is not supposed to be the case.
In the north, it flows to the north east. Canada itself is not warming it that much. Northwest America generates very little, so nope. So, where is a massive CO2/CH4/soot based nation to the south west of Canada that could generate so much as to impact them (and alaska)?
No doubt, we will see Chinese trolls here shortly blaming New York and Chicago for this.
It was nice to see Tesla as #1 EV there. In addition, even better is that ICE sales are dropping there, while EVs continue to rise. With the coming increase in models as well as production, norway, in fact, most of the western nations, will likely have 50+% of their new car sales be EVs by end of 2022/3. That is 4 years away. With EV prices continuing to drop and Super Chargers going in all over, 4 years will be all that is needed.

It seems like lots of BS comes from our own companies, who are always working for China or Russia as well.

This is much easier to hit American companies with all sorts of BS, and then give massive penalties.

BEAm is Bigelow inflatable. I would be curious to see how that is doing.
Seriously, if this is a huge civil nightmare, then throw these kids in jail. Issue solved.

but, not caused by America. It is China that is causing that. Any heating in say north west Europe, would be from America.

Did not know about this one. Thanx. That was interesting.
I will say that I knew about Almaz, but I was thinking it was before the treaty, not after.
