By the end of 2016, China's capacity hit 77.42 gigawatts,... As it stands, solar energy represents only one percent of the country's energy output...The NEA says that China will seek to add more than 110 gigawatts within the next three years, which could help the nation up the proportion of its renewable energy use to 20 percent by 2030
Adding the 110 gigawatts of "capacity" is a drop in the bucket. Capacity doesn't mean much actual power generated when it comes to solar.
If you have not successfully tested a restore and you do not have a completely offline copy, you do not have a backup.
And don't trust someone else who says they made and tested the backup. Our DBAs had proof that the sysadmins told them the disk backups worked. But the DBAs never did a practice restore of their own. You can guess what happened when a failed update trashed the database.
I think anyone who takes an objective look at the numbers would switch. The reason to stay with Oracle is indeed inertia and vendor lock-in. But that comes from DBA's and developers who only know Oracle; any other DB is a threat to their high paying priesthood.
The problem is global warming being used as an excuse for wealth transfer from rich nations to poor ones.
Work to make our use of energy more efficient. Work to find cleaner sources of energy. Quit using it as an excuse to advance the "one world government" agenda.
Read the actual report and you'll see that only about 2/3's of the quoted figure actually works more than half-time in solar.
Just under 374,000 individuals work, in whole or in part, for solar firms, with more than 260,000 of those employees spending the majority of their time on solar
But it gets worse.
Also included in the employment totals are any firms engaged in facility construction, turbine and other generation equipment manufacturing, as well as wholesale parts distribution of all electric generation technologies.
So manufacturing and distributing solar panels also counts as "generation"?
I once had a conversation with someone who worked there when this happened.
NASA still gloss' over the circumstances of the men's death. Usually in a fire, the smoke or super-heated air causes you to lose conscientiousness pretty quickly. But these guys had their helmets on, which supplied fresh air. Grissom's open microphone picked up their screams as they were burned. Death didn't come quickly for them.
I'm not sure it's really arrogant so much as limited skill set. Many "coders" only know one IDE and one framework (usually iOS). There isn't anything else, gramps.
You don't go on many business trips, do you? Rides (Uber or taxi) are usually shared, one person pays and expenses it. Breakfast usually at the hotel, so no ride, etc.
Both statistics make sense. Fly to a meeting and stay in a hotel that's only two receipts, but both are relatively big (usually hundreds of dollars). Go to a restaurant, that's two rides; go to a meeting that's two more rides - but the rides are relatively small expenses so the total is small compared to flights and hotel.
Fake news is a deliberate fiction, written with the intent to deceive, frighten, or anger the reader.
Ahh, you mean like Washington Post? Let's take a look at WP headlines that are on Google News tonight:
"Voting rights advocates fear Trump's unfounded fraud claims will lead to more restrictive laws"
I suppose that's not completely fake, some advocates might fear it. Of course, some might also fear that their thoughts are being controlled by the CIA.
"Does waterboarding work? Seven questions about the controversial interrogation technique" More fear mongering anyone?
"Donald Trump is making major policy pronouncements based on what he sees on TV" Sure, WP knows that, without a doubt.
"Without evidence, Trump tells lawmakers 3 million to 5 million illegal ballots cost him the popular vote" Of course there's no evidence that there wasn't voter fraud - Democrats have fought every attempt to investigate it
"Why Orwell's '1984' matters so much now" It only matters because the Left is screaming about it, not because it's really matters
"Germany to abolish law on insulting foreign leaders — just in time for you know who" Sheesh.
Are you so partisan that you would actually lament the fact that 50,000 people in Pennsylvania are going to have new jobs?
The answer to that here in PA has been "Yes" for a long time. Between the Democrats and the unions (same thing really) they'd rather see a plant close than negotiate "give backs".

Obama called Putin a jackass in public
That was in response to Putin stealing Michelle Obama's engagement ring.
Yes, I skipped lunatic fringe sites. There are too many to list here.

We don't expect a closer pass by one of these visitors until October, when asteroid 2012 TC4 could come more than twice as close.
Well, they didn't expect this one. So I'm guessing they'll spot others whizzing past between now and October.
Not many jobs in nuclear. They're good jobs, but they don't employ many people.

The advertising industry seems to think that so long as advertising is presented, it is welcomed.
The advertising industry thinks that so long as they get paid, all is well.
Businesses need to wake up, they're being scammed by the sellers of advertising space

Because sheeple see some celebrity has 50,000 followers, so they need to follow too.
Minimum age is 35, not 45.
It remains to be seen if Russia can influence an election in the US.
Nothing but posturing by Microsoft. Not news.
Good thing Obama is gone. Now this can stop.
Yup. Much better to let it sit idle and put those people on welfare.

unlike every other first-world country you CANNOT do a general bank-transfer to another person/company in the US
What world do you live in? I have accounts at a few different banks, they all support online transfers.
