So many places have tried to have their own Silicon Valley but it hasn't worked elsewhere because they try to get one thing right but actively stop other things from working.
It's a within a very short drive of where people desire to got to for holidays, had some electronics industry infrastructure, had a University nearby, had easy access to investors and was a place where subject matter experts from all over the world could come and work. The only thing that came close was in Texas.
The Chinese don't currently have what it takes to inspire the founders of the next Intel or similar to flock there. Neither do we now of course, but we have something up and running.
Debate? There was never a debate? How fucking deluded are you in thinking there was a debate? I was telling you stuff you didn't know about and you were tossing things in every now and again that I've known about for thirty years.
His justice department will be creatures from the swamp. What's wrong with you people - if you wanted to send a message to the "establishment" why vote for a fucking trust fund baby who has been the embodiment of the "establishment" for his entire life? He only knows how to play and not how to work for a living.
will be deported because they aren't white, despite BEING citizens, just goes to show how fucking stupid they can be too.
They believed one of Trumps tweets about removing citizenship from people.
Yes it is fucking stupid to believe something Trump has written but he's getting into a position where some of the stuff he writes is going to have to be taken seriously no matter how stupid it is.
I see this morning Trump nominated a medical doctor who thinks dietary supplements can cure cancer, AIDS and multiple sclerosis to be the next Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
When I see something like this it's hard to believe it's real and not one of those fake news stories written by Romanian teenagers for a few bucks. Reality has jumped the shark.
The current situation in China has changed that dramatically. Here is an odd story where the unexpected happened. In Australia a breed of sheep was developed that sheds it's wool instead of needing to be shorn, and they have become very popular. They wear coats in the season when they shed and the farmers remove those coats and the shed fleece instead of shearing. The next step was to be to throw the coats into a very simple machine to shake the fleece off the coats. Instead the coats and fleece are sent to China by the shipping containerload where they are manually separated. Due to the low cost of shipping some people have replaced machines.
It's kind of funny when "rock star" CEOs talk about how wonderful and irreplaceable they are but how everyone else is not (especially when that CEO fucks up spectacularly and is replaced by someone that doesn't fail). Sol Trujillo, Carly Fiorina and a pile of others fit this description.
Imagine a teenager who only had seen a photo of a gun was delivering you a lecture on guns. Now imagine that you assemble them for a living and you still get that lecture. Getting the picture yet?
So a coder who has read a bit of shit on wikipedia but not finished the articles is telling an engineer with experience in the electricity generation industry that? Seriously?
It appears that by not calling you an ignorant piece of shit I was mistaken for showing weakness.
lack of ability to build a molten salt reactor
This conspiracy theory again? Give it up, it's not 1950 and the world has moved on. I should have just looked at your ignorant little sig and written you off as a naive moron.
Opposite of security - more people know your stuff. I wonder how long it will be before we hear of an intern at Microsoft abusing credit card numbers and other harvested information. It is a very stupid accident waiting to happen and only seems to have been done for a bit of one-upmanship on Google with their databases of search history.
Sorry, I thought the AC was somebody trying to stir up trouble. The financial crisis and low gas prices had to be considered by commercial nukes and it's almost certain that is why they pulled the plug. I'm in the mining industry instead of electricity these days and it's the way mining companies act all of the time - a commodity price drops and that mine that so many have been working on developing suddenly doesn't happen. With nukes they may not be so fickle but it happens. To sum up the misunderstanding here in simple terms, Democrats are sometimes paid to like nukes and Republicans are usually paid to like oil instead. I think you are going after the wrong target by bringing politics into the mix. That "friendly Republican administration" really liked oil and the approvals had to wait, didn't they? Disgusting wasn't it?
If the NRC actually had the means to license a reactor that wasn't a dusted off design from the 1970s then we'd see something new
Not unless it's an import or military technology released and implemented by a new startup. It's not the rules stopping it but the almost total lack of R&D inside the "nuclear lobby" companies. They do not have anything new to put up for approval. Maybe we can do what the British did and take on Chinese plus German technology instead of a 1970s dinosaur. Maybe Trump will let friends of Putin come in and build a Russian nuke design (they are pushing ahead with liquid sodium cooled reactors and other things 40 years ahead of what Westinghouse have), or an Indian design could be built (eg. accelerated thorium which burns up expired weapon material and some other high grade waste). It's somewhat pathetic that even South Africa (with pebble bed) has more advanced civilian nuclear technology than the locked in club of the "nuclear lobby" can provide. South Africa can't build it for us now but the technology was licenced to a German company that can do it quicker than those AP1000 reactors can be built.
It really astonishes me how some people care so little about how stupid they look just so they can push some kind of political point. You are not Glenn Beck, you do not have brain damage from cocaine usage like him so please stop acting as if you do. Yes, Gore said stuff about carbon dioxide years back so to be a good Party Comrade you think you have to oppose anything with those key words, but this isn't about climate this time, it's about the possibility of chemical industries near you instead of having to import stuff from China.
I thought you'd be happy with a disaster so that you can shoot your neighbour and take his stuff - that's your reading of what the second amendment is for from what you've written to date.
The democrats crashed the economy before they even got into office so some nukes didn't get funding? How stupid do you think we all are here? Did you come to this site today just to troll?
There is a massive shift of the goalposts between "refused by government" and "decided not to go ahead due to lack of funding". Show me one that was refused instead of jumping on a thread with a blatant goalpost shift because you can't find something that fits. I don't have anything in this fight but all this "nukes would be great if it wasn't for those meddling kids and their dog" dishonest shit really gets me. If Westinghouse wasn't pushing 1970s dinosaurs painted green a bank might actually put up some money.
I had a lot of issues with systemD not working well with ZFS on Fedora. I've also had issues with things like ntp dying and systemD being convinced that it is still running.
The thing is, there's so much damn drama over it that I'm curious what its detractors want to use in its place
The old stuff still works better than the new thing in rapid development so the question is the other way around. The detractors (I'm halfway to being one despite or maybe because of using it on some systems) either think it isn't ready or think various parts are doing things the wrong way, plus the newbie level bugs are a bit offputting. A binary log unprotected from race conditions - what fun!
Doesn't fit, systemD is an octopus that grabs hold of something new before the old bits are stable. Didn't you see the article about how it is going to fuck about with shells and kill background jobs just because the user has closed their shell? That's not doing it's thing and it's definitely not doing it well.
A wireless USB mouse dongle is plugged in:( I'm not joking. Something so incredibly trivial hung the thing consistently as it attempted to start a systemD service to handle it, failed and did nothing - on several machines after an "upgrade" to a distro with systemD. Where is the parallel init that Lennart promised? No second thread doing stuff and no giving up and going onto the next thing like a production quality init system.
Since the parallel thing is a lie (I've had stuff hang which would never happen if it was true, and after looking around, sure enough, not parallel) it's likely that the alternatives are still faster than systemD on the same hardware.
Greybeards? We may have been programming for longer than Lennart but there are plenty of people younger than him that don't make the same arrogant newbie mistakes about *nix. Somebody should give Lennart "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" to read since he missed it the first time. It's not difficult but for some reason he does not understand or care and wishes to change linux entirely.
Many license applications were cancelled during the Obama administration even though they met initial approval under Bush.
Name one. As for the rest - please read a fucking book on the topic before writing so readers can get something resembling reality instead of imagined ramblings.
In Indonesia there was similar interference (right up to CIA operated B-26 bombers - I shit you not) but the regime hammered out a deal and the same people who were being attacked as "commies" (when they were actually US trained military officers who called their group "the sons of Eisenhower) ended up with a very large amount of US military aid. The Iranians must not have tried to buy off the right spook.
Maybe it was easier to buy them off in Indonesia, reading about the operation it sounds like it was planned after consuming seriously powerful drugs. Vice President Nixon opposed it but it went ahead anyway. The idiot that thought painting over the markings on a B-26 could hide that is was an American plane takes the cake.
