Churchill was not worth respecting. For propoganda and use in defeating Nazism he was useful, but as a person he was a horrible man. Outside of Europe he was a horrible person and very nearly himself a war criminal.
A large expensive product sold to large industrial sites in large industrial countries... Seems very much like a niche product. A better option is the vanadium flow battery. It is 100% flexible in terms of capacity, can be expanded to any degree or reduced as needed. That's not a small advantage - a lithium ion battery that is inadequate must be completely scrapped, while Vanadium flow just needs to be refitted with larger tanks while every other component remains as installed. Lithium ion batteries are also fire hazards in comparison.
OK. Confirmed CO deaths from car exhaust just from before 1989. Notice 67 deaths, with at least 43 with no unique cause. It shows more people died while outside but in cars from CO poisoning. Table 2 on page 329.
Safety for everyone on the roads. Making it technically impossible for a drunk driver to drive is worthwhile because they have vastly increased rates of causing accidents and deaths. Making it so for every new car and future car forces people to call cabs when they drink. It keeps them from making a shitty decision to drive when they... can't make decisions, because they are drunk!
There is a difference between running the heater and the engine. Running the heater until the battery dies means you've been there too long. People often freeze to death in cars anyway. They also die from exhaust inhalation running the engine for hours while not moving, so the rest of your fantasy falls apart there.
Slashdot is definitely the target for practice with troll bots, and whether human powered or computer programs the method is the same. Basically random text generators fed google search results run from terms picked up on the target pages. They have advanced a bit over Eliza, but they are all still really obvious.
Kendall, this and your previous parent post do a great job explaining things that a lot of people here fail to grasp. If I had mod points I would add insightful to each. Coding is the literacy and numeracy of this new age. Computers and the programs that run them and the actions they result in define the modern world. Population exposure to at least grasp that is what will differentiate the successful countries and economies for decades to come. Those that don't make education and especially technical education priorities will get left behind faster than calvary charges with horses against machine guns.
No. I take it you have never heard of child soldiers? They are supplied by the military forces that kidnapped and conscripted them. This happens every day and all over the world. That you are not familiar with this shows your world view as overly sheltered, and at least artificial if not alien to the real world.
What I means is this: The death campaigns in Rwanda in 1994 began with radio broadcasts, in Thailand last year it started with facebook posts by a radical cleric. They are the same, and have the same responsibility for what is disseminated.
Yes. Free publication, advertising, market reports, and even electronic storage of all data enabled the lowest and worst of humanity to recruit for death campaigns just as easily as as the scouting bake sale. There is now imposed user responsibility for user generated content. The company won't pay you to sabotage its market position to make money for yourself. Now you have to pay for your business, just like all real business always has, and you don't get to ride free while complaining.
There was no shift ending "freedom" that you can blame on your limited idea of politics. The world got online, and that meant the world's problems got online. That means the same virulent hate and xenophobia that causes actual warfare and actual murder got packaged and disseminated along with the latest cat video. Youtube didn't care which it served you, both were hits. The hate video made you reply though, and made you come back one way or the other either as fan or enemy fighter. Youtube and all social media are exactly the equivalent of war profiteers, and are just a step above the arms traders that sell rocket launchers and anti-personnel mines to children.
This reversal is a normal result. Any group formed to explicitly provide an advisory function for a company needs to have oversight from all of its stakeholders. This includes the laborers, the division directors, the bond holders, and the stock holders or at least the preferred stock holders. A group dysfunctional at initiation is inept and incompetent from the start.
That Google also has a leadership role in the industry means that its decision will shape its future development; what they invest in, what they train for, who they hire, etc.
Well, actually the -32.5 (C) was last February. The still very recent historical low for Norway was actually -51.2 (C) in 1999. See? Repeating your talking point doesn't make it true. Research and data - these are keys to understanding reality.
Entirely Wrong. Just yesterday it reached -4 (C) at 700. Past lows routinely reach -5 (C) earlier this year. Total terms for lows recorded in history was -32.5 (C).
Good! The petrol fueled vehicles externalize significant costs so a tax to pay for pollution remission is required for the market to actually operate. The alternative is information imbalance that causes price imbalance and freebies for the petrol vehicles.
Global warming has been a major concern since the 1800s and Svante Arrhenius proved the heat trapping effect of carbon released by burning fossil fuel. Its accumulation as more fossil fuel is burned is well documented in later works by multiple other scientists.
I'm sorry but I have no respect for Vova he is a lazy and weak pussy who destroyed Russia's economy, its military,and all of its nascent democratic institutions so that he could profit personally by stealing everything not nailed down. Then he brought out the nail remover to steal the rest. Putin hates Russia most of all.
Except they did work in 2013 and Japan also did it in 2010 with that technology like the US did even earlier in 2008 . You see, it is and has been easy to produce this result for more than a decade and actually for a much longer time with other weapons. Short, Medium, Intercontinental. All have been hit. But all used tracking to know exactly where they were in flight, and were launched from known locations, and targeted in advance from known positions.
Nope. China would eat NK for breakfast if ole pork belly doesn't play nice. It is only China's influence that controls Kim, and its not out of partnership but his fear.
Russia's nukes are obsolete. They test freight-car sized prototype weapons trumped up to sound like they are space age super-weapons. They field rusting Soviet era hulks without guidance systems and without men or facilities to fuel, launch, or even maintain them. Russia is a failed state run by a corrupt criminal with delusions of genocide, while all the people would be infinitely better off if Vladimir Putin could just catch a few bullets between the eyes.
North Korea is positioned like South Africa was - a pariah state with no defensive allies and open to attack from much larger powers. For exactly the same reasons both developed nuclear weapons, and we have historical evidence of SA getting rid of them for budgetary reasons once the political and international relations situation changed in a way that gave them better security without the weapons.
In terms of actual military technology this is nothing new. The announcement makes it sound like they independently tracked a missle launched from an unknown base, found it in the air and launched an intercept that succeeded. Instead, this test is just another in the "yep, when we know exactly where things start from, exactly how fast they are going, and position our counter at exactly the right distance away, we can hit the dummy". The US is adopting the old Soviet style of exaggerating military achievements and filling gaps with braggadocio.
The simple truth is the United States and its domestic market matters less than it did decades ago. The world is all developing, and more trading partners are truly more important. The bad luck of the US being saddled with Trump at the time it needs to embrace greater trade and reforms to enable that doesn't help. The US after the pacific war created a much better democracy from the previously militarist and colonial-oriented one in Japan, and now it dominates in high technology trade. Why couldn't the US adopt that model domestically? Why aren't they even trying to adapt anymore?
Will you ever grow the fuck up? I'm sure your rant has something to do with the US news but nothing to do with anything here. This story is pretty shallow but is more than 48 hours old on its website. Does that cure your derangement? You need to actually take your medication as directed.

Assange was a criminal and the most corrupt of all involved, from the very beginning.

No. This tax is a market mechanism packaging more of the total costs for each product. That in fact reduces deadweight losses from price inaccuracy.
