Japan population: 128 M, per capita GDP: $46K USD
US population: 312 M, per capita GDP: $48K USD
China population:1344 M, per capita GDP: $5K USD
There is no comparison possible. The Chinese have a lot of room to increase worker productivity just by boosting their population to a fraction of US levels and the Japanese don't have that possibility.
Those people still don't get they will be made redundant as well. They think their capital is all important but the Chinese government owns the banks in China. Period.
First you don't have to move a lot of rock if you use in-situ leeching mining methods. According to Wikipedia high-grade uranium ores such as those in Saskatchewan, Canada have up to 28% uranium oxides So there it's clearly not a rate of two tons of ore to one kilogram of yellowcake. You are off by at least two orders of magnitude. Are you counting just the U-235 or what? Do you even know a CANDU reactor doesn't need enrichment to use nuclear fuel at all?
Nah. The problem with Fukushima was that the pumps got flooded and stopped working. The solution is to simply use a passive cooling system that doesn't need pumps in an emergency like the system on the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor.
A boffin is slang for scientist, engineer or someone in a similar position. It seems they have used this slang ever since WWII when they used to show scientists in white lab coats working on some sort of radical new technological development. The word as used today is mostly derisive which is somewhat representative of what happened to R&D in Britain since I guess.
China doesn't need to get old F-16 engines from Israel. They already got their hands on some F-16s from Pakistan several years back. This is well known knowledge.
China has the capability to manufacture relatively modern jet engines. One example is the WS-10A engine they use in their J-15 carrier jet instead of the standard AL-31F engine used in the Su-27. The J-31 uses smaller WS-13 engines, also used in the JF-17 they sell to Pakistan, which is based on the Mig-29 RD-33 engine. They had several production problems namely in FADEC, turbine blade reliability and production capacity but it seems they have solved them. Otherwise they wouldn't be testing airplanes powered with their own engines on their carrier.
Earthquakes. See hot dry rock geothermal experiment in Basel Switzerland for an example of it happening. It was followed by a ban in Switzerland of hot dry rock geothermal I kid you not.
I have a couple better lines. Solar panels use semiconductor manufacturing techniques which require the use of solvents. Since most production is in China the solvents and the rest of the solution usually are just dumped into rivers and ponds. The result is a lot of pollution and liquid waste. Oh and windmills kill birds.
We need to stop bothering about proliferation risks and get concerned about cheap and safe generation of power. Thorium research is useful because it is more plentiful than Uranium in this planet. That is about it. Because of so called proliferation risks nuclear recycling research has been stuck since the 1970s. For all we know we could be separating all the waste with laser separation and burning the actinides in a high temperature nuclear reactor by now. We don't do it because laser separation technology also enables easier separation of Plutonium from the spent fuel for nuclear weapons. Instead the people who want the Plutonium have to use more polluting chemical separation methods such as PUREX. This insanity needs to stop. If the country already has nuclear weapons in its possession why do we need to bother with such concerns? We only reduced nuclear weapon stockpiles due to bilateral treaties. Lack of further technological development is not an obstacle to producing more nuclear weapons for an industrialized nation.
He doesn't need to party. Iran has large Uranium reserves. This is mostly good news for India which has poor Uranium deposits but quite rich Thorium deposits. Considering they are one of the most populous nations in the planet they would stand a lot to gain from Thorium energy research advancing further.
I actually think it is quite a good movie even if flawed horribly. Great visuals for most of the time. Some superb acting by Kenneth McMillan and Brad Dourif. Great music. Sure some of the actors are horribly wooden. Some special effects fall flat today. It takes multiple views to even begin to understand the plot. However I like it.
I guess he needs to buy himself a TAG Heuer Android phone since he seems to be more concerned about having an expensive phone than anything actually useful.
Google makes more from iOS than they do from Android.
That's funny. Last time I upgraded iOS it asked me to switch search engines to Yahoo and I clicked the wrong button. Now I can't figure out how to switch back to Google. Hmmm... time to google it.
A lot of business types used them here back then. It was one of the few good alternatives if you wanted a personal computing device of that type. Most of the PDAs back then had no phone capability.
Netscape 4 and later were a steaming pile of dung. That was the problem. IE from version 3 onwards was quite useable. It was only after IE 5 came out and Netscape basically folded that development froze seemingly forever.

The US does not have any major regional rivals.
those of us who got passing grades at math figure out when the pass happens (assuming zero American growth)
Not that simple. You need to use compound interest: (log(15)-log(7.3))/log(1.1)
Seven and a half years.

You have to move a lot of rock... do you even know the energy density of uranium vs coal?
Oh and if you want the reactor to be resistant to earthquakes you simply bury it underground. There are GE nuclear reactors like that.
Nah. The problem with Fukushima was that the pumps got flooded and stopped working. The solution is to simply use a passive cooling system that doesn't need pumps in an emergency like the system on the Westinghouse AP1000 reactor.
So did he give you the source code or not?

Perhaps they should ask Apple to fund them. Good luck.

Yeah. I saw Dune on Youtube the other day.
Yeah. I thought you could be sued for providing a reference to an illegal download site but it seems MPAA's own rules don't apply to them.

I was kind of surprised anyone wanted to buy US locomotives at all. Only if they are the low speed freight trains I guess.
