Wrong. Most coke is made from synthetic sources and is a byproduct of refining. It is called petcoke. But I guess you are the expert. I'm not sure why I get modded down, but you guys seem to not like the truth.
Moving electricity long distances is not efficient, and electric heat pumps aren't terribly efficient either. But whatever you and Musk say must be true.
I was assuming you are asking about conventional furnaces, not this new method. In the conventional ones, the carbon comes from the coke. As you said, only part of that carbon becomes part of the steel. Who is using electric energy to melt the steel? A furnace uses coke, not electricity.
In Europe they tax you on the number of symbols you use in your equations. That is why he came up with e=mc2. It wasn't correct, but cheaper because it was so short.
Ray Kurzweil is a moron who hasn't predicted anything, and yes, Moore's Law is dead. Intel wishes it wasn't because they want people to keep upgrading, but with Moore's Law dead there will be no reason to upgrade.
People were desperately trying to build expert systems and AI systems to get money since forever. AI isn't making profit today. Do you think people buy iPhones because of "AI"? Do you think IBM is making money off of their "AI systems"? Nope. AI is just the current hype and eventually the tech world will move to some other thing.
There hasn't been any progress. In fact, Alexa et al are not AI at all. They are just voice recognition systems hooked up to a database. A complete scam, but that is what passes for technology.

Um, yes. They aren't melting steel. You are a very confused person.
"If self-driving cars really catch on and the number of traffic fatalities plunges, so will the number of organs available for transplant."
Hilarious.

Depends. How much electricity are you generating to get the same result? That is the problem with people: they think electricity is "clean energy".
Exactly. Every decade someone comes up with this same idea. If this idea worked and was viable it wouldn't need investor funding.
Like who? Germany still uses coal-based electricity, as does a lot of the EU. Hardly most places.
No it isn't.
Common sense says that 10% is way too high.

The reason is that PUBG has been beat by Fortnite and PES 2019 has been beat by FIFA 19 and they are desperate for installs.
Not sure what you are talking about. They are one of the biggest consumers of iron-ore on the planet and is a huge polluter.
Electricity is inefficient. I know the hip thing to do is to electrify everything, but it isn't better or even necessarily cleaner to do it.
10%? Why is this marked informative? It is clearly wrong.
Most furnaces use coke, most which is synthetic and comes from oil refining processes.
Blast furnaces are powered by coke (coal).
Those guys are still around?
According to officials, a large percentage of deposits was stolen. Total amount stolen is estimated to be approximately $130.

Cognitive intelligence is not simply pattern recognition. You missed the entire point.
Exactly. You need to be modded up.
What is this? CNN?
