It is not the job that places workers under threat, in is the work environment. You can do the same job in different environments and the threat of injury will be much greater in one than the other. So maintenance in an existing building, in a controlled environment with low risk from the activity of other employers versus similar work on a building site, with high risk from other employees. Plenty of ways to die on a building site, a slip or trip or stumble goes from being an ouch in the office to death and dismemberment on the building site because of exposed risks.
We all know the hardest work, produces the shittiest pay and only arseholes lie about it, the reason why, sheer unadulterated greed, government corruption, leaving those with lower IQs exposed to much greater risks for much less pay basically because the people who set it up that way are a pack of cunts.
The most logical solution is to fit out the existing power plant and interconnections. Solar panel every roof in the suburbs and double battery pack them and you are mostly done, by far the most competitive solution, especially financially speaking. This because the fit out can be financed in depth, for example some people who can afford it, can directly invest in it, by fitting out their own property to produce more electricity than they need, store the excess during the day and sell it at night. Others of course could lease to buy, still getting their electricity and selling the excess to help with the lease. The cheapest option, the home owner does nothing and simply allows it to be installed for a discount on their electrical price with an option to buy out the equipment in the future. For property investors, they can really effectively invest in their property by fitting it out, and selling electricity to their tenant at the market rate, whilst selling the excess back to the grid, a lot more people could become power plant operators.
This only really works in some countries (AU and US lots and lots and lots of burbs) and for the EU only some cities, most are built up with close in rural, not much suburbia. So on the whole a larger installation makes sense but in the smaller cities with a higher proportion of suburbia, that distributed power generation and storage makes much more sense.
Still the first company to jump and offer it, will win a decided lead in market share ie owning the solar system and batteries on other peoples properties and basically providing market access with collective bargaining. They can hit the market for a better price for their clients, a much better price and keep a percentage as ongoing sales, whilst of course generating much zero tax income. Zero tax because profits from sales of equipment would be covered by tax deduction by direct investment in equipment, poorer suburbs investment covering profits from middle class suburbs.
The power companies will be slow threatens existing power plant investments. Manufacturers of course not so much, it really suits them, hell, even a corporation like Amazon could jump into distributed power generation and storage, using their global buying power to generate that investment opportunity. This is a real snooze and you lose investment, those who get in first, will basically lock up the markets (specific cities, the best ones) they gain a market share lead in.
Recidivism is not about the criminal or the prison or the POS corporations that run prison, RECIDIVISM IS ABOUT FUTURE VICTIMS, or more specifically they lack of them. The corporations that run prisons don't want to be talking about that because they love recidivism more profit but of course, privatise the profits and socialise the losses. The losses in this case, more fucking victims of crimes, completely unnecessary victims of crimes but of course their suffering means more fucking corporate profits. Recidivism is about victims, not about the fucking criminals.
Private for profit prisons do not give one fuck about rehabilitation because there is no profit in it for them, all you dumb fuckers can die, killed by the criminals that passed through for profit prisons because fuck you, corporate profits first. They fucking want recidivism, they fucking love recidivism, recidivism pays their fucking bonuses and fuck the victims of that recidivism.
Greed driven stupidity, look no further than the US government at every level and the US corporations that control the US government.
Who is kidding who, of course corporations can send people with guns to raid you and that is across the globe. The hollywood pigopolists ordered Joe Biden, to attack Kim Dotcom in New Zealand and the corporate tool dutifully complied, dropped the New Zealands government hind legs into the US governments gum boots and proceed to fuck the shit out of the New Zealand justice system. Corporations control governments or have you not noticed, especially the US government, no government more controlled by corporations with ex-corporate executives corrupt government departments, all US government departments.
The bigger the corporation the worse they become and the only limit on them is government, so they seek to control government.
I salute those ex-Google employees and their adherence to their honour and integrity, nobody should be forced to work for death industries, the killers of people for profit corporations. They definitely did the right thing and they even took the additional step and sought to promote that sound activity. Why are governments now forced to contract out death designs to not military industrial complex companies because the top people do not want to work for death, murder and dismemberment, do no want to kill for profit, do not want to stain their existence with mass murder, to soil their spirit and they did it publicly because they want to help save others, not just the victims of death machines but also those who condemn themselves by designing and making them (you know the purpose, you know the types of people who will command and use them and so you own a part of it).
Seriously, who cares. Spectator sports and dying slowly but surely and the corruption that gambling will bring into localised sports will just accelerate the process. All sorts of crap, can not buy a player to throw a game, pay someone to cripple them for that match, pay off referees, all sorts of crap will happen and trying to monitor and control it at that level, impossible, so it will get right out of hand. They fought to remove the legislation not for simple equal odds gambling but for purposefully corrupted gambling. What a shit show it will be but I hate spectator sports, so this crap is a great idea, more power to the corrupt so they destroy themselves faster.
How about because it is an accurate description based upon past use. Autopilot in planes and ships, they will take you on the course set, they will not avoid shit or take complex routes, you set them and away they go, don't pay attention and a plane or ship or any other obstacle gets in your path and the AUTOPILOT will stay on course, bad fucking luck, well not luck, stupidity. So it is called autopilot because that is all it is, exactly as used and described for decades. People are now just choosing to reinterpret autopilot in another way now because 'hmm', vested interests and oh yeah, dick brains.
So the design choices not around sound design but design around idiots, how to make a device idiot proof, reliable and low cost. Want to make a Tesla vehicle idiot proof, then don't install the batteries and let the idiots admire the car in their drive way and pose with it in front of passers by.
How to make cars idiot proof, don't fucking let idiots drive them. So zero driver monitoring and instruction in their use is required during driver training and then they should be tested for knowledge on autopilot systems to get their drivers licence. Autopilot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... look it the fuck up. Do not confuse it with 'ROBOTIC' vehicles like the idiots that kill themselves with autopilot vehicles, I certainly hope you do not have one.
Well in reality it is very easy, the problem is modern corporations, corrupt government and entirely worthless mainstream media. A good diet and just as important and how to prepare it, not just what you should eat but how to make it. So probably it should be taught in school because that is the only way it will work in a society based around greed and lies, at least there is a chance when done in schools under supervision. So teach people not just the elements of a good diet but how to purchase the ingredients and prepare and cook them, with a varied range of simple to prepare, tasty and nutritious, meals, even different ways to prepare the same ingrediants. Diet (not dieting but meal plans, at least 7 x 3, three meals a day, seven days a week and so 21 different meals) and food preparation and cooking taught in schools as part of social studies (along with the political system and how to be involved in politics, so democracy and justice as well). So a lifestyle course for high school students, setting them on a better path.
Technically there is a middle ground. So UK contractors working with corrupt elements in the UK government, came up with the scheme to create that charity fraud. No accountability, no real records and millions from UK tax payers syphoned off and then the big payoff US funds and millions more scammed. The governments funding it think it is real but they whole thing is a big ole scam, a video charade to scam money out of the tax payer purse. This being the real reason for the failure of performance on the ground versus the hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars spent. The counter claim it was entirely a propaganda scheme but why spend over a hundred million dollars on an empty scam, makes no sense. So they believe it is 'er' cough, cough they believed it was true, now not so much. Middle ground seems very likely true, largely a scam to steal over one hundred million dollars, with a just a few million spent on creating the illusion so that UK contractors together with corrupt elements of the UK government could fill their pockets with terrors wars booty, just that the US government wasn't in on the scam because they were the ones being scammed.
Would that be anything like trying to identify the real country of origin from a tech support centre member with their trained fake American accent. Want to know something interesting, they serve them up to Australians, which boggled my mind, why present a fake American accented person to an Australian, how would that win sales. Apparently in the training programs a fake American accent is much easier to learn than a fake Australian accent. For ease of communications I just ask them to go with their real accent, then they are much easier to understand.
I have to say, robot caller and I will hang up and send the company an email to go fuck itself. When I want to interact with companies, either well designed GUIs or a real person, I really hate all the automated crap, really hate it.
The white helmets (brown bodies, white heads and one eye focused on raping a country) were only providing limited rescue efforts to terrorist groups as indicated by all interviews from the regions where they were, indicated they did nothing what so ever for the general public, except hoard any emergency rations supplied by external sources and selling them on the black market. It seems highly likely that most of the White Helmet funding was stolen by the contractor middle men, otherwise please fucking explain how they spent that money http://21stcenturywire.com/201... $123 million. We know where most of the money went, into the hands of contractors and it never left there. How about just for shits and giggles they do a please explain where the money went, seems like really, really fucking expensive helmets and overalls, they were volunteers right, so a million for helmets and overalls and $122 million to administer, right, surely not, so how about an audit of Mayday Rescue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... to find where the money went actually.
So a fake news story about fake news story about fake news, lets be clear or is that as muddy as possible. Hey you know what, try going to Syria and talking to all the people they spent $123 million rescuing, should be easing, like tens of thousands of them, yet they can not seem to find any. Why the fake fake news story because audits and fraud and audits seem to be the focus of the moment and you just know the majority was syphoned off by contractors.
You know what would look really suspicious is someone trying to bring illegal information into the country via mobile a phone on a plane with a return flight. This instead of downloading an encrypted file from where ever you wanted to, or smuggling a thumb nail size memory card. It would look very suspiciously like they are a complete moron.
The reason to search the phone away from the eyes of it's owner, is not to look at the data on the phone it is to add spyware applications to the phone, a permanent online backdoor.
Travel and I would leave my real phone behind and buy another at the foreign location and use it instead. Really fussy about having you data, I would simply upload the files to my ISP at home and then download them at the foreign location. Coming back, upload the data to your ISP and clear your travel phone before returning and sell it or give it away. There is no logical reason to carry a phone with data across borders, simply makes no sense.
Technically speaking it is not a robot dog, as it would not have a mouth to pick stuff up but an addition of a body with manipulators added to it, so more a robot centaur. They went with puppy because it does not sound as evil as a robot combat centaur. Yeah you need two arms and hands, one is stupid and pretty pointless apart from demos and mounting them to a vertical torso is more effective than mounting them to a body and that torso has to be over the front legs, not in the centre, it makes approaching a work place easier.
The whole thing, the whole USA North Korea thing, was a pile of bull puckey. It was all about tying up China in a defence of North Korea to block their 'COMMERCIAL' expansion, not war, simply business. This all blew up when China would not play and although the US government attempted to keep it going, it all fell flat. So then when that North Korea gambit failed, the US government went with a trade and tarriff war but when the Government of China threw in copyright duration into the mix, that collapsed to.
So North Korea, now has taken the opportunity to alter diplomatic rhetoric to look more conciliatory leaving the US to look like the war monger, yet again. So the US now is forced to lie and pretend it created peace because no other political option. Peace, yeah, not so much, just better public diplomatic communications in the age of the internet and saying stupid shit hangs around for ever. None look more fucking stupid in the diplomatic stakes than that budgy brain Nikki Haley, starting to get a real odour going and likely better off tossing the talking head out and replacing it with another.
That test site had reached it's use by date and it seems North Korea finally did manage workable nukes and now delivery systems have altered from ballistics to long range torpedoes and cruise missiles. Although it has been proven that US et al cruise missiles are very vulnerable to attack from actively defended locations, however not a problem with Nuke cruise missiles because blowing one up, means it does actually properly detonate, killing that which killed it and the defended target probably still inside the destruction zone.
Defending against nuke cruise missiles requires an airborne defence system to increase the attack range as much as possible. Torpedoes much trickier seeing as they can take their time quietly approaching the target at depth and only surfacing to detonate, coastal cities are fucked, especially one in particular, Pearl Harbour and Honolulu, pretty clear it is the number one target, neither one will survive a nuke war of even a start panic stop variety as they are the first targets, not Washington (add in 3m sea level rise and Honolulu looks to be quite the questionable investment).
North Korean peace, not possible with the current government, if they was peace, and democratic voting occurred the current leadership would be investigated, prosecuted and probably executed, so hugely unrealistic for North Korea to undergo change without social breakdown and revolution but everyone has to pretend because the China gambit failed and there really seems to be no coming back from that, it really seems to have been the last major Asian geopolitical gambit and it failed. The only one left is fucking with Australia China trade and that would not go done well at all, cause a major irreversible rift between Australia and the US (pissing on about a China base in Vanuatu all about more American bases in Australia, which does not look to be on, which in turn is all about Australia having basically ten times as much high grade Uranium ore as the US, plus of course being the same size as the US mainland and having a largely undeveloped coastline suitable for future development post flooding, no flooded rubble to content with).
It called, quite simply, compulsory regulated training programs. Simply laws that force companies over a certain size to spend money on training. Employing local students and paying them through college, not a request but a legal regulated demand.
Reality is, a new power plant in every city. Basically every residence in the burbs with their entire roof with solar panels. One battery pack for their household and one battery pack for the grid. The power station and grid is already built, all you need is the generators, solar panels and batteries and every typical western city now has a new already build power station and they only need to fit it out. Reason why a second battery pack, it takes surplus energy from homes and uses it for commercial and medium/high density housing. You still need power planets for industrial and likely for vehicle charging and isolated major battery storage to balance out renewables on a large scale. You would still likely need nuclear, just the right design, to ensure energy reliability (don't want a major hail storm to put you city right out of business for month on end, slowly adding replacement panels at the current rate rather than an overnight replacement of millions of panels). That nuclear can also be used for high energy recycling for zero waste cities (more effective to use energy than to dump material and find it's replacement).
Which is what this story basically is, an attempt at a Facebook share price pump up, after much bad news. Of course Facebook do a ponzi crypto currency and although the potential is there for Facebook to specifically target their users that are the most vulnerable to that kind of manipulation and what hooks and triggers to mist effectively use against them, problem is pressure to ban unbacked crypto would become immediately immense, do to the manipulative nature of Facebooks gambit, targeting the gullible poor.
People are not doing unhealthy things on their own, not at all. Scammy lying manipulative pieces of shite are tricking them with addictive ingredients like MSG and false extremely repetitious ads, to drive them to consumer (don't even try to lie about the damaging psychological affects of the repeated ads, repeated and repeated and repeated, for maximum psychological impact). They lie all of the time and at every level from scammed deceitful B$ science as Public relations, covering everything from deceit about calories grading all equally even those one you can not possibly consumer against sugar (soluble carbohydrates), no sugar rush for children, yeah not on controlled diets, to exercise to combat consumption but most can not exercise as much as they eat.
So you have a right to choose but others do not have a right to lie, deceive, manipulate, corrupt and ruthlessly kill their victims. So no advertising for junk food, especially not targeted at children. Consumable calories listed on the box. All ingredients detailed. Any deceitful advertising and triple revenue for that product penalties. Also if their foods kill, they should suffer that criminal penalty, all involved from science to sales, all should pay the price with a custodial sentence and a controlled diet.
Usability is not the big problem, invasion of privacy and forcing software installs is and where ever there is a competing product, people are choosing an alternative to M$ and only sticking with M$ if there is a data lock in. Windows anal probe 10 is making M$ toxic, simple as that, any alternate choice and down they go, phones by far the biggest sign of that and phones because privacy. Really shite reputation on the OS, phones were dead. Gaming console seems to be slowly losing ground, servers is dying, consumers devices is practically non-existent (TV Tablets) and desktops are dying being restricted to more limited power user and business use both abhor invasions of privacy. Hey keep it up M$ I am sure force installing ads on Windows anal probe 10 will win you millions more customers and if that ins't enough I am sure wiping out peoples computer systems with forced upgrades will do it for you. Can't be told, won't be told, they be dickheads.
It can be a whole lot safer and Elon was on the right track with the Boring company, just not on target. That is an underground system, in tunnels, a controlled environment, where you would catch a vehicle much like a turbolift and it will take you where you want to go. You could even own your own lift and have a parking spot, would not be cheap. So replace, taxis, public and private transport in major metropolitan areas, every current road would have an underground tunnel system, proving that controlled automated transport environment. It would not necessarily have to be magnetic suspension but could be wheels in enclosed tracks, with track switching to change direction.
Far more sensible than trying to make roads work under increasing traffic loads.
It is as self regulating as boom and bust. The problem with boom and bust is it is very unstable and due to extremes built into cyclic events, inevitably the bust is terminal decline and societal collapse. Waffling about the simplicity of allowing markets to self regulate ignores the reality of socio-political instability, riots and revolutions, all part of that cycle. So you do not allow self regulation because it must be regulated in order to force stability into a system that is inherently unstable. Although if you want riots and revolution because you thrive in a market of mass murder and public executions, sure go for the boom bust cycle, with inherent development cyclic extremes and inevitable collapse.
Keep in mind the crowing achievement of capitalism, endless war and don't even try to deny it, it is inherent to capitalism, the placing of your capital worth over other people's lives.
The article is crap and makes no sense what so ever. Concrete is two, three, four, five times stronger than concrete and even more. Typical regular mix is 20MPa compressive strength but you can do 60 or even 80 dependent upon the aggregate you use, coarse and fine, curing time and additives as well as the quality of the cement itself, how fine or coarse. So either their super graphite concrete is only 20 Mpa or 120 MPa, quite the difference. The big problem with concrete is it's tensile strength which is crap, and hence requires reinforcement. You can do fibre mixes which are strong but the fibres tend to appear on the surface creating problems of their own.
The real future development of concrete will be in additives that can alter the structure of cement and go for stronger crystalline structures upon setting to create tensile and compressive strength, without reinforcement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., spend enough time on building sites and you learn to hate the smell of fresh concrete, construction, organised chaos.
Depends on you email address, the simple ones got buried in spam before the filters kicked in, on hotmail hundreds daily but hey did not care my dead email drop anyhow, so no great loss.
Funny the BBC (the British Bullshit Corporation, as vetted by MI5 to push the conservative political line) because a lot of their news is now basically spam, https://www.thecanary.co/trend.... So the leader of the Labour Opposition with a backdrop of the Kremlin and photoshop hat to look more Russian. Let me guess the British Bullshit Corporation has been secretly celebrating 40 years of spam by producing spam as news for the last year.
They are definately not who they used to be if they ever were. Definite huge Tory political bias, definitely 100% pro war, some of the interviews I have seen were disgustingly pro-war, especially the Syria and Russia stuff, worse than US stuff and that is really saying some thing (they were really sneaky about it though, always pretending to be better than US news, on middle of the range stuff but on the critical stuff even worse, real manipulative, that seems to be their real speciality the UK Government and it's propaganda mouth piece the BBC).
Do no expect a company that has no respect for it's employees to respect it's customers. They will treat both as badly as they can get away with. For employees unionise or die (that is literally accurate not for all but certainly for the unlucky some) for customers probably better off buying elsewhere https://www.theacsi.org/index.... the only companies doing worse have disappeared.
Because Geeks, not just nerds and geeks can be geeky about all sorts of science including volcanology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., geology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and plate techtonics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... News for the nerd, there is more to science than just computers and it is all of interest to most geeks and nerds, some can be really, really, anally focused in on their own specific interest and lose sights of the many facets of science to be explored. So news at 11, the Hawaii 'Big Island' is getting bigger and that is interesting. Not that interesting in a real estate sense though, because bigger does not mean worth more for a whole bunch of thousands of years but it will, I'll bet some bean counter is trying to work out a way to sell future real estate no yet available, sort of in mid air above the sea at the moment but it will be land one day, a long term investment, a real long term investment.

How about just for shits and giggles they do a please explain where the money went, seems like really, really fucking expensive helmets and overalls, they were volunteers right, so a million for helmets and overalls and $122 million to administer, right, surely not, so how about an audit of Mayday Rescue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... to find where the money went actually.
So a fake news story about fake news story about fake news, lets be clear or is that as muddy as possible. Hey you know what, try going to Syria and talking to all the people they spent $123 million rescuing, should be easing, like tens of thousands of them, yet they can not seem to find any. Why the fake fake news story because audits and fraud and audits seem to be the focus of the moment and you just know the majority was syphoned off by contractors.
You know what would look really suspicious is someone trying to bring illegal information into the country via mobile a phone on a plane with a return flight. This instead of downloading an encrypted file from where ever you wanted to, or smuggling a thumb nail size memory card. It would look very suspiciously like they are a complete moron.
The reason to search the phone away from the eyes of it's owner, is not to look at the data on the phone it is to add spyware applications to the phone, a permanent online backdoor.
Travel and I would leave my real phone behind and buy another at the foreign location and use it instead. Really fussy about having you data, I would simply upload the files to my ISP at home and then download them at the foreign location. Coming back, upload the data to your ISP and clear your travel phone before returning and sell it or give it away. There is no logical reason to carry a phone with data across borders, simply makes no sense.
Technically speaking it is not a robot dog, as it would not have a mouth to pick stuff up but an addition of a body with manipulators added to it, so more a robot centaur. They went with puppy because it does not sound as evil as a robot combat centaur. Yeah you need two arms and hands, one is stupid and pretty pointless apart from demos and mounting them to a vertical torso is more effective than mounting them to a body and that torso has to be over the front legs, not in the centre, it makes approaching a work place easier.
The whole thing, the whole USA North Korea thing, was a pile of bull puckey. It was all about tying up China in a defence of North Korea to block their 'COMMERCIAL' expansion, not war, simply business. This all blew up when China would not play and although the US government attempted to keep it going, it all fell flat. So then when that North Korea gambit failed, the US government went with a trade and tarriff war but when the Government of China threw in copyright duration into the mix, that collapsed to.
So North Korea, now has taken the opportunity to alter diplomatic rhetoric to look more conciliatory leaving the US to look like the war monger, yet again. So the US now is forced to lie and pretend it created peace because no other political option. Peace, yeah, not so much, just better public diplomatic communications in the age of the internet and saying stupid shit hangs around for ever. None look more fucking stupid in the diplomatic stakes than that budgy brain Nikki Haley, starting to get a real odour going and likely better off tossing the talking head out and replacing it with another.
That test site had reached it's use by date and it seems North Korea finally did manage workable nukes and now delivery systems have altered from ballistics to long range torpedoes and cruise missiles. Although it has been proven that US et al cruise missiles are very vulnerable to attack from actively defended locations, however not a problem with Nuke cruise missiles because blowing one up, means it does actually properly detonate, killing that which killed it and the defended target probably still inside the destruction zone.
Defending against nuke cruise missiles requires an airborne defence system to increase the attack range as much as possible. Torpedoes much trickier seeing as they can take their time quietly approaching the target at depth and only surfacing to detonate, coastal cities are fucked, especially one in particular, Pearl Harbour and Honolulu, pretty clear it is the number one target, neither one will survive a nuke war of even a start panic stop variety as they are the first targets, not Washington (add in 3m sea level rise and Honolulu looks to be quite the questionable investment).
North Korean peace, not possible with the current government, if they was peace, and democratic voting occurred the current leadership would be investigated, prosecuted and probably executed, so hugely unrealistic for North Korea to undergo change without social breakdown and revolution but everyone has to pretend because the China gambit failed and there really seems to be no coming back from that, it really seems to have been the last major Asian geopolitical gambit and it failed. The only one left is fucking with Australia China trade and that would not go done well at all, cause a major irreversible rift between Australia and the US (pissing on about a China base in Vanuatu all about more American bases in Australia, which does not look to be on, which in turn is all about Australia having basically ten times as much high grade Uranium ore as the US, plus of course being the same size as the US mainland and having a largely undeveloped coastline suitable for future development post flooding, no flooded rubble to content with).
It called, quite simply, compulsory regulated training programs. Simply laws that force companies over a certain size to spend money on training. Employing local students and paying them through college, not a request but a legal regulated demand.
Reality is, a new power plant in every city. Basically every residence in the burbs with their entire roof with solar panels. One battery pack for their household and one battery pack for the grid. The power station and grid is already built, all you need is the generators, solar panels and batteries and every typical western city now has a new already build power station and they only need to fit it out. Reason why a second battery pack, it takes surplus energy from homes and uses it for commercial and medium/high density housing. You still need power planets for industrial and likely for vehicle charging and isolated major battery storage to balance out renewables on a large scale. You would still likely need nuclear, just the right design, to ensure energy reliability (don't want a major hail storm to put you city right out of business for month on end, slowly adding replacement panels at the current rate rather than an overnight replacement of millions of panels). That nuclear can also be used for high energy recycling for zero waste cities (more effective to use energy than to dump material and find it's replacement).
Which is what this story basically is, an attempt at a Facebook share price pump up, after much bad news. Of course Facebook do a ponzi crypto currency and although the potential is there for Facebook to specifically target their users that are the most vulnerable to that kind of manipulation and what hooks and triggers to mist effectively use against them, problem is pressure to ban unbacked crypto would become immediately immense, do to the manipulative nature of Facebooks gambit, targeting the gullible poor.
People are not doing unhealthy things on their own, not at all. Scammy lying manipulative pieces of shite are tricking them with addictive ingredients like MSG and false extremely repetitious ads, to drive them to consumer (don't even try to lie about the damaging psychological affects of the repeated ads, repeated and repeated and repeated, for maximum psychological impact). They lie all of the time and at every level from scammed deceitful B$ science as Public relations, covering everything from deceit about calories grading all equally even those one you can not possibly consumer against sugar (soluble carbohydrates), no sugar rush for children, yeah not on controlled diets, to exercise to combat consumption but most can not exercise as much as they eat.
So you have a right to choose but others do not have a right to lie, deceive, manipulate, corrupt and ruthlessly kill their victims. So no advertising for junk food, especially not targeted at children. Consumable calories listed on the box. All ingredients detailed. Any deceitful advertising and triple revenue for that product penalties. Also if their foods kill, they should suffer that criminal penalty, all involved from science to sales, all should pay the price with a custodial sentence and a controlled diet.
Youtube, you don't care what's on, so you forget, leave it running and go do something else. A timer will probably save Google a lot of money.
Usability is not the big problem, invasion of privacy and forcing software installs is and where ever there is a competing product, people are choosing an alternative to M$ and only sticking with M$ if there is a data lock in. Windows anal probe 10 is making M$ toxic, simple as that, any alternate choice and down they go, phones by far the biggest sign of that and phones because privacy. Really shite reputation on the OS, phones were dead. Gaming console seems to be slowly losing ground, servers is dying, consumers devices is practically non-existent (TV Tablets) and desktops are dying being restricted to more limited power user and business use both abhor invasions of privacy. Hey keep it up M$ I am sure force installing ads on Windows anal probe 10 will win you millions more customers and if that ins't enough I am sure wiping out peoples computer systems with forced upgrades will do it for you. Can't be told, won't be told, they be dickheads.
It can be a whole lot safer and Elon was on the right track with the Boring company, just not on target. That is an underground system, in tunnels, a controlled environment, where you would catch a vehicle much like a turbolift and it will take you where you want to go. You could even own your own lift and have a parking spot, would not be cheap. So replace, taxis, public and private transport in major metropolitan areas, every current road would have an underground tunnel system, proving that controlled automated transport environment. It would not necessarily have to be magnetic suspension but could be wheels in enclosed tracks, with track switching to change direction.
Far more sensible than trying to make roads work under increasing traffic loads.
It is as self regulating as boom and bust. The problem with boom and bust is it is very unstable and due to extremes built into cyclic events, inevitably the bust is terminal decline and societal collapse. Waffling about the simplicity of allowing markets to self regulate ignores the reality of socio-political instability, riots and revolutions, all part of that cycle. So you do not allow self regulation because it must be regulated in order to force stability into a system that is inherently unstable. Although if you want riots and revolution because you thrive in a market of mass murder and public executions, sure go for the boom bust cycle, with inherent development cyclic extremes and inevitable collapse.
Keep in mind the crowing achievement of capitalism, endless war and don't even try to deny it, it is inherent to capitalism, the placing of your capital worth over other people's lives.
The article is crap and makes no sense what so ever. Concrete is two, three, four, five times stronger than concrete and even more. Typical regular mix is 20MPa compressive strength but you can do 60 or even 80 dependent upon the aggregate you use, coarse and fine, curing time and additives as well as the quality of the cement itself, how fine or coarse. So either their super graphite concrete is only 20 Mpa or 120 MPa, quite the difference. The big problem with concrete is it's tensile strength which is crap, and hence requires reinforcement. You can do fibre mixes which are strong but the fibres tend to appear on the surface creating problems of their own.
The real future development of concrete will be in additives that can alter the structure of cement and go for stronger crystalline structures upon setting to create tensile and compressive strength, without reinforcement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., spend enough time on building sites and you learn to hate the smell of fresh concrete, construction, organised chaos.
Depends on you email address, the simple ones got buried in spam before the filters kicked in, on hotmail hundreds daily but hey did not care my dead email drop anyhow, so no great loss.
Funny the BBC (the British Bullshit Corporation, as vetted by MI5 to push the conservative political line) because a lot of their news is now basically spam, https://www.thecanary.co/trend.... So the leader of the Labour Opposition with a backdrop of the Kremlin and photoshop hat to look more Russian. Let me guess the British Bullshit Corporation has been secretly celebrating 40 years of spam by producing spam as news for the last year.
They are definately not who they used to be if they ever were. Definite huge Tory political bias, definitely 100% pro war, some of the interviews I have seen were disgustingly pro-war, especially the Syria and Russia stuff, worse than US stuff and that is really saying some thing (they were really sneaky about it though, always pretending to be better than US news, on middle of the range stuff but on the critical stuff even worse, real manipulative, that seems to be their real speciality the UK Government and it's propaganda mouth piece the BBC).
Do no expect a company that has no respect for it's employees to respect it's customers. They will treat both as badly as they can get away with. For employees unionise or die (that is literally accurate not for all but certainly for the unlucky some) for customers probably better off buying elsewhere https://www.theacsi.org/index.... the only companies doing worse have disappeared.
Because Geeks, not just nerds and geeks can be geeky about all sorts of science including volcanology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., geology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and plate techtonics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... News for the nerd, there is more to science than just computers and it is all of interest to most geeks and nerds, some can be really, really, anally focused in on their own specific interest and lose sights of the many facets of science to be explored. So news at 11, the Hawaii 'Big Island' is getting bigger and that is interesting. Not that interesting in a real estate sense though, because bigger does not mean worth more for a whole bunch of thousands of years but it will, I'll bet some bean counter is trying to work out a way to sell future real estate no yet available, sort of in mid air above the sea at the moment but it will be land one day, a long term investment, a real long term investment.
