Several parts of quantum theory have proven useful. Like Plank's quantum theory and its applications on the photoelectric effect (which was in fact Einstein's first paper). These have lead to things like solar panels and LED lights becoming possible. Dirac's work has also had several applications. Other parts have had mixed success. I think the most controversial parts are things like Heisenberg's work.
France has a gas centrifuge cascade at their Georges Besse II uranium enrichment plant. The USA started one and then cancelled the project. It means the French can enrich uranium an order of magnitude cheaper than the USA. For example. They also manufacture MOX fuel. The French nuclear industry has not degraded quite to the point the USA nuclear industry did.
Ever watched "Gall Force"? It is an old Japanese anime where a bunch of women fight these immortal monster like alien creatures until they both destroy the entire known universe. over. and over. again.
His foundation pays for research that leads to patents on treatments that it then collects royalties on. That's the kind of 'help' his foundation does.
States eradicated smallpox a couple decades ago just fine.
Bullshit. He does the overall design and conceived the original flight operations regime. He's called the CTO for a reason. He acts much like a chief designer in the USSR would. It's in Tesla that he was only supposed to be a shareholder, but he later took the reigns because he thought the CEO was incompetent. Although, to be honest, the manufacturing problems Tesla had back then were pretty much caused by impositions to the specifications that Musk himself pushed forward. I doubt the company would have grown like it did with had the previous CEO still been managing the place.
It's a lot like the mini-computer revolution really. Launches have become cheap enough that not only really large institutions can do it but even universities could launch large satellites if they wanted to.
Actually the RPG-7 was an anti-tank armor in its time. It's just that modern tanks are too heavily protected for either the HEAT or tandem-HEAT charges available for them to work. Most insurgents don't even have access to the tandem-HEAT charges. So it mostly ends up being used against light armored vehicles and buildings now. The Russians have more modern and effective anti-tank weapons like the Metis or the Kornet but they are less portable.
There used to be colon cleansing therapies before the appendix surgeries were made common. e.g. you have a mostly liquid diet until the condition improves. Today doctors are against those therapies because they claim it can lead to a perforated colon.
Whereas the Prime Ministers can simply veto a law and pass it to the relevant Council with the Ministers in that sector to pass it, torpedoing the Parliament if they want to. In fact that's how the European Union started. The Parliament is a latter addition to the system and it clearly shows.
Yeah a lot of people don't know how the EU works and you are a one of them. Except I prefer to call those people ignorant, whereas you preferred to call me an idiot when you are the one who's an ignorant.
"However, in most areas the ordinary legislative procedure applies meaning both Council and Parliament share legislative and budgetary powers equally, meaning both have to agree for a proposal to pass. In a few limited areas the Council may initiate new EU law itself."
It's just that Intel's compiler detected instruction sets by checking the manufacturer and processor id instead of checking the processor's flags like what any reasonable person would do.
Actually Microsoft did not. Microsoft launched the x86-64 (AMD64) version of Windows against Intel's will and dropped down support for Itanium. At one time Microsoft was even involved in the ACE consortium which meant to sell MIPS computers with Windows NT as a replacement for the Intel architecture. It flopped bad.
Microsoft has tried to change architectures more than once, especially to those with more than one supplier, but the large installed base of applications makes that exceedingly difficult. Every once in a while they port Windows to a new architecture but it typically flops soon afterwards because of the lack of applications.
Unlike Apple back when they switched from the PowerPC there isn't enough of performance difference between an Intel processor and other leading edge processors to make emulation of x86 viable across the board.
There are ways to torpedo the Parliament and it has happened before. Like the Comission emits a directive, the Parliament flunks it, then the Council of Ministers passes it anyway. The European Parliament cannot veto the Council of Ministers which basically have all powers.
In other countries laws are discussed in the Parliament and can be proposed by the several groups in the Parliament. But the European Parliament is not like that. All directives come from the Comission. The Parliament cannot propose squat.

Why is it that the best guys always die first? Ah no wait, in Apple's case that didn't happen.

A lot of us are against software patents in the first place. So it's kinda like a non-aggression pact.
You would be better off buying a 2nd hand Hololens. And I'm not a MS fan BTW.
Nah this is MOX fuel. It will burn in basically any light water reactor.
What a fucking waste. Just give it to the French so they convert it into MOX. Since apparently they can afford to do what the USA has failed to do.

I won't say anymore because it ruins the fun.
"VanDread" is also a load of fun:

SpaceX is his own company and it's the best performing of all the ones he runs.

40 million USD for a company that loses over a billion USD a year isn't even a slap on the wrist.
Short selling can be even worse than that yes.
It's kinda like the Tetra Pak business model.
Back before Black Tuesday people even took loans to buy shares. Hopefully Rei isn't dumb like that.
