It's called the pancreatitis virus. Much like there is a hepatitis virus that can destroy the liver, there is a pancreatitis virus that can destroy the pancreas and lead to diabetes. The prionlike protein in the article though seems to be new and this is much welcome research.
I've heard similar things with people with metabolic syndrome, e.g., twins one is fat and the other isn't fat, one has metabolic syndrome and the other doesn't. Take a bit of fat from the one with metabolic syndrome and inject it in the skinny one and they start getting more abnormal fat concentration in the place where it was injected. Perhaps it's a similar issue?
Not just Linux ISOs. A lot of Internet games download updates via Torrent. You can usually find this out by looking at their update client's network settings.
Who cares? That only matters to investors. What matters to the clients if if they can deliver the product and how good it is. AMD seldom turns a profit as well but I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone in the PC segment who thinks they don't serve a purpose.
I'll give you an example. The first APR1400 reactor took 7 years to build. The second APR1400 reactor took 6 years to build. They can now build APR1400s in 5 years.
There's a learning curve with any new design. But of course people extrapolate like it's always going to take as long...
The South Koreans just built a new APR1400 reactor in Abu Dhabi recently on time and on budget. Of course it's a new design like the AP1000 or the EPR there are going to be delays.
Yes, it was a great welfare programme for the energy companies. The French electorate has got fed up giving them money though, which is why they are struggling to raise the funds to build plants in other countries like Hinkley C, and having to rely on Chinese investment.
No. The French electorate are a bunch of dumbasses. France has the cheapest electricity of any industrial nation in Europe. They're going to wreck one of the few competitive advantages their economy has with their dumb push into wind and natural gas (that they must import).
You need to read more about it. The Chinese halted new reactor construction for like a year and a half after Fukushima. But they since resumed construction. Also, they basically changed a lot of the power plants that were supposed to use the AP1000 to use their Huanlong One reactor design because they do not want to pay royalties to Westinghouse. But the reactors are still going to get built.
No the main problem is EPR. The design was waaay too complicated. The other problem is builders with like no experience in reactor construction making mistakes and not following specifications.
I can't remember anything like that. But there were proposals to use hydrogen bombs to do large excavations for hydro power plants and the like. I think those ended up being done with conventional explosives instead. For the US equivalent read on Operation Plowshare, and Project PACER.
I was thinking in energy terms. In terms of cost of construction sure it takes a lot longer. It uses so much goddamn concrete and steel and takes so long to build the money payback time is similar to hydropower dam like 18 years.
I'll give you one example of issues that happened in the US. Some of the metal alloys in the original specification weren't being manufactured anymore. So newer alloys had to be qualified, tested, and certified, this impact the schedule by months.
It's a new construction so of course there are delays.
I've been following the AP1000 project for quite a long time. The delays are due to several reasons. The projects started later than planned. Also the design was done before Fukushima. In China, where the first units are being constructed, there was a moratorium and construction stopped for like one year and a half to reevaluate the design taking into account what happened at Fukushima and changes were made to the design in the middle of construction which caused further delays. In the USA what also happened is that the manufacturing infrastructure has decayed, due to no new construction since the 1980s, so setting up the supply chain has taken even longer than in China. China has recent experience with reactor construction. If you factor out these delays, it seems to be taking the average construction time for reactor builds since the 1980s, which is like 5 years construction time. If they build it in modules like was originally planned for a small series production I think they could do it in 4 years.
Of course if construction is delayed and you still need to pay salaries to the construction crews then the cost goes up. But once the reactors enter operation they'll pay for themselves in just a couple of years.

What trickle down? Back then the US had higher taxes on the rich than it does now.
NOGO zones? So you are telling me there aren't "hoods" in the US which the police would rather avoid?
Remind me of that next time you buy a safe knife or the like.

No shit. They do this *all* the time.
The Tesla battery is made of standardized elements which, while manufactured by Tesla, have alternatives with similar specifications elsewhere.

In that case get a satellite dish. There should be plenty of free to air satellite programming available.

It's cheap per kwh generated but it requires a large capital investment.
Delays and overruns happen with a new design. Is it that unexpected?
The South Koreans just built a new APR1400 reactor in Abu Dhabi recently on time and on budget. Of course it's a new design like the AP1000 or the EPR there are going to be delays.
The first reactors were always going to be more expensive and take longer to build. The supply chain needs to be primed.
It's a new design. Even if a lot of the design risk was retired with the AP600 prototype that prototype wasn't full scale.
Yep. Westinghouse took over the construction company which was hiding massive losses. Then Toshiba took over Westinghouse.

We can't make supersonic transport airplanes. Or Mach 3 reconnaissance planes anymore either. Or make a rocket that can go to the Moon. Life sucks.

Yeah it's bad, but it's not worse than gold mining.

I think the only way this will work is with smart-signs that communicate where they're placed.
