Really nothing like using a threat instead of action. Not even the Russians were silly enough to fall for that, and always made us deploy before they would negotiate a reduction.
In this case I can't even count the number of times China is going to develop it's own OS, it's going to Develop it's own X86 clone. You know what it's true. They will do it as soon as they figure they can steal what they need to make it happen and it's in their interest to do so. If you think otherwise you haven't been paying attention since Nixon opened up China.
Must be a huge conspiracy that they managed to nearly have a blackout in a grid that is interconnected with whole europe, and keep that a secret.
Yeap I remember reading about the problems the Texas intertie had last year in the NYT and the WaPo had really good coverage of the problems the Niagra Interties had before the great north east blackouts.
You sir are a moron. What is worse you are the sort of moron that gives morons a bad name. Please take your mental illness and find a cause less harmful.
Perhaps you shoukd learn to read: 99% of all PV cel neither contain gallium, nor cadmium nor the Telurium you mention here. Those text you have does not even cover a fraction of the missing 1%
Oh really ?
Why don;t you show your calculation ? You know the one you did to make that claim.
Reading the article it sounds like streaming services are going to have to pay more to stream songs written before 72 in particular and more for everything in general. The article though is notably lacking in details, and keeps falling back to vague platitudes like
The result is a bill that moves us toward a modern music licensing landscape better founded on fair market rates and fair pay for all. At long last, a brighter tomorrow for both past and future generations of music creators is nearly upon us.”
99% of solar cells don't contain either gallium or cadmium.
And that materials are not mined, they are by products of other mining activities.
The few solar cells that are based on gallium-arsenic are sent to space and used in satellites.
It's not that your ignorant, it's that so much of what you know is wrong.
Notable systems
Utility-scale CdTe PV solutions were claimed to be able to compete with peaking fossil fuel generation sources depending on irradiance levels, interest rates and other factors such as development costs.[75] Recent installations of large First Solar CdTe PV systems were claimed to be competitive with other forms of solar energy:
First Solar’s 290-megawatt (MW) Agua Caliente project in Arizona is one of the largest photovoltaic power station ever built. Agua Caliente features First Solar’s plant control, forecasting and energy scheduling capabilities that contribute to grid reliability and stability.[76][77]
The 550 MW Topaz Solar Farm in California, finished construction in November 2014 and was the world’s largest solar farm at the time.[78]
First Solar's 13 MW project in Dubai, operated by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, is the first part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, and was the region's largest PV power plant at the time of completion in 2013.[78]
A 40 MW system installed by Juwi group in Waldpolenz Solar Park, Germany, at the time of its announcement, was the world's largest and lowest cost planned PV system. The price was 130 million euros.[79]
A 128 MWp system installed by Belectric at Templin, Brandenburg, Germany is the current largest thin-film PV installation in Europe (as of January 2015).[80]
For the 21 MW Blythe Photovoltaic Power Plant in California, a power purchase agreement fixed the price for the generated electricity at $0.12 per kWh (after the application of all incentives).[81] Defined in California as the "Market Referent Price," this set the price the PUC would pay for any daytime peaking power source, e.g., natural gas. Although PV systems are intermittent and not dispatchable the way natural gas is, natural gas generators have an ongoing fuel price risk that PV does not have.
A contract for two megawatts of rooftop installations with Southern California Edison. The SCE program is designed to install 250 MW at a total cost of $875M (averaging $3.5/watt), after incentives.[82]
Of course you can. You simply run the smelter when the power is there. You guys simply think that the power would be suddenly away, but it is not.
Oh really ??
Germany’s power grid almost collapsed in January due to poor performance from wind turbines and solar panels, according to data from a major trade union.
Wind and solar power plants under-performed in January, 2017, because of cloudy weather with little or no wind, setting the stage for massive blackouts.
A major blackout almost occurred Jan. 24 and was only prevented when German energy suppliers “also took the last reserve power plant,” Michael Vassiliadis, head of the union which represents power plants IG Bergbauchemie Energie, told reporters. The country’s power grid was strained to the absolute limit and could have gone offline entirely, triggering a national blackout, if just one power plant had gone offline, according to Vassiliadis. https://dailycaller.com/2017/0...
I know that will bounce off you like water off a duck. Like I said this thread would attract renewable zealots that were full of shit.
Lol you're typically the type of person I would not want on my team! You think you're that good, cowboy? I'v seen your type. They tend to not be bothered to pick up their own shit and blame others for the mess. Guess what, most of the time coding is in fact a SOCIAL activity. You don't code only by yourself for yourself.
Your argument fails in the fact perhaps that guy with the man bun or a fedora and attended those code camps are actually a brilliant person who can really contribute.
LOL
Or you do want Linux coded by all guys with a short hair cut, suites, and has PHDs.
Have. But you can haz cheezberger
Coding is 25% intelligence and 75% effort.
For bad programmers.
What's really amazing is that you were too stupid to understand what the Fred Brooks software engineering links meant but you just tried to lecture someone who has been at it, longer than you have been alive.
He also killed funding for what was to be the next generation of breeder reactors.
If you want to say that didn't shut down investment from the private sector, while there was little to nothing from the public sector your just lying and it makes no sense wasting breath talking to you.
The wonderful thing about you people is you think your shit doesn't stink. It's only exceeded by the fact that you don't actually matter, and will be very rapidly be screwed by the people you shill for.
You want mining deaths and toxic chemicals ?
How many people do you think die from mining gallium or cadmium for solar cells. Oh and don't worry about what happens with them, they are toxic forever.
Lifetime emissions of a nuclear plant are around 100g/kWh. Better than coal but considerably worse than wind/solar+battery.
Every once in a while I see a citation and a fact that challenges what I know. I follow the source. 9 times out of 10 the "fact" is a misleading representation of the citation. This is one of those misleading representations. The document has a table that provides the assessed minimum/median/maximum carbon emissions for a power source. This table gives following values for nuclear (in gCO2eq/kWh):
minimum: 3.7 median: 12 maximum: 110
Suffice it to say that the parent post, by approximately citing the maximum number, is quite misleading.
In comparison, here are a few other sources (in terms of min/median/max gCO2eq/kWh):
Nuclear: 3.7/12/110 Coal: 740/820/910 Gas (Combined Cycle): 410/490/650 Geothermal: 6.0/38/79 Hydropower: 1.0/24/2200 Concentrated Solar Power: 8.8/27/63 Solar PV—utility: 18/48/180 Wind onshore: 7.0/11/56
Based on these numbers (purely considering lifetime CO2 emissions--from your source), nuclear appears to be pretty competitive with wind/solar, etc.
Please help keep/. factual. Mod parent down or this post up. Thank you.
Don't have mod points at the moment but I will quote you.
Hopefully Linus is taking a break to hone his language skills so he can better destroy truly annoying people that have no business being near the kernel.
All someone has to do to prove they don't care about actually generating power is say something like that.
Power generation tech to be viable has to have one of two characteristics. It either has to provide power when you say so, or it has to never stop. Solar and wind have neither of those properties.
It's been something like 40 years since Jimmy Carter stopped this dead. Long over due that we pursue power technologies that are here and actually work.
Oh and prediction, there will be lots of cheesed off solar zealots that aren't engineers couldn't tell you a thing about electricity or even properly identify the metals used in transmission lines coming on thread bitching and moaning, because they thought solar was magic that would let them stick it to the man.

Really ? Says the man who posts that AC.
There are outside contributors big enough to maintain it when google decides to drop it.
The 1970s called they want casual sex back everyone agreed.
Unless they manage to repeal special relativity.
So the question is will people that are willing to spend money to have a good to great gaming experience decide that trash for free is OK with them ?

Great so what you are saying is France is converting over the energy mix Germany has ?
That gives them the most expensive power in Europe while they still burn brown coal because their heavy industries actually demand reliable power.
You can't run a steel smelter off intermittent power.
