Oh no, blood in the water, attracted that moron again. Made up edge cases and everything just like last time. Sorry moron I don't want to justify you having sex with thirteen year olds so please go bother someone else who will.
Good project or bad, who knows, like many other things in technology companies at the time they were fucked over by a bunch of bankers and never had a chance. Also are you sure it wasn't going to be geostationary? With four satellites making it functional I can't really see it being anything else (but I'm no expert).
Should we be worried about the "Kessler Syndrome"? That's where the density of objects in a given orbital volume gets to the point where a single collision causes a large amount of debris which in turn causes more collisions which...
Not especially. They are not going to last long in that orbit without fuel to give them a boost every now and again. If they are broken and not doing that they are coming down since there is enough air to eventually slow things down. Here's one way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_thruster#In_Earth_orbit
Several per launch for certain since so many are going to be in very similar orbits and probably won't be especially heavy. That kind of turns using prior examples into a very wild guess.
I don't think Putin's goal was the election of a specific candidate as it was to destroy confidence in the election process. He's succeeded at that.
1/ Russia is an oil and gas economy with little else as relevant. As an example, the Saudi price war on oil has hit them very hard. A climate change denier in the White House is good for their business. 2/ Putin began his move into politics railing against Bill Clinton and the US military actions in Europe that he ordered. He still brings those up from time to time. He's ranted a lot about Hillary when she was Secretary of State. It's kind of looking personal - he appears to have actively hated Hillary for decades. 3/ Instability - a President that "shakes things up" means that the US government is so distracted that Russia can get away with actions in the surrounding countries that would normally draw US attention. As an extreme example, if Putin invaded Ukraine tomorrow (he going for slow and sure so not going to happen) it's very unlikely that there would be a timely response of any kind, not even sanctions. 4/ Flattery will get you everywhere - as the Saudis showed with turning Trump against our best ally in the Middle East, Qatar, flatter the guy enough and you can play him like a flute. Putin has done that sort of thing before and recognizes someone he can manipulate in Trump.
So Trump was the guy for Putin to back even if you ignore the bank loans and everything else.
Never. What's with the whining victimhood shit? Why are so many here crying and whining about it every time a wife beater or other total piece of shit has to do community service for what would earn him five years if he did it in a bar. This Men's Rights crap is getting old. Your granddads would keep on telling you to stop acting like sissies every time someone asks you to treat a woman with respect.
It's not the radicals trying to talk someone in their workplace into having sex with them for money or advancement here is it? That's the problem, and an extremist evangelical Christian woman who believes a man should be the head of a family and her man should be obeyed at all times is going to be just as pissed off at such sleazebags as any feminist.
He's a guy making passes at women, and they reject him. Any inability to handle the social awkwardness of that is their issue to be dealt with by them getting a thicker skin
Someone actually modded that up? He's "making passes" during the process of making deals and that's putting pressure on them to sell themselves for his money - incredibly fucking sleazy. Obviously the AC and the upmodder are far too young to have kids, but would you want your mother to be subjected to such treatment?
Obviously the insecure one is still vunerable. Read what I've written again, it's about the secure one being able to read and write on another machine and not the other way around. Plus anything you can call a secure system is not compatible with Wannacry etc - there is only one vendor that sells a vunerable OS.
For security purposes it's only the appearance of several computers instead of actually being so. That's not a flaw, it's just not designed to do what you want it to do.
USB networking still exists. It can be used so that the "secure" computer can see only one main directory (plus it's subdirectories) on the conventionally networked computer. It has the added bonus that many machines have ports on the front so it can be plainly visible when the link is in place.
you don't mind eating the ink? And you don't want to wash off fruits and vegetables like you should
There is almost always one who reads an entire novel that does not exist between the lines. Yet amazingly words that actually were there were not read - "The labels, which are etched onto fruit's skins with lasers instead of stickers"
Yes. On top of that aircraft engine cooling systems also don't work as well when the ambient temperature is high.
An extreme example of that was very early QANTAS aircraft (Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 - 67kW/90HP) where on hot days they didn't have enough power to make it out of ground effect and had to avoid trees. They were operating in an area as flat as the prairies but drier, so not very many trees.
Robert Mann, an industry analyst and former airline executive, said.
"As temperatures get that extreme, you have to offload so much fuel or passengers or cargo that it no longer makes sense to fly," he said.
So yes, they can fly, but airlines are in the business of making money with getting passengers somewhere as a secondary consideration.
In those hotter places they have planned for it and they know they can make a return.
That bunch that want you to worry about them and want you to call them by that name instead of Daash are only one of many players in a civil war on the other side of the planet from you. Your post is another little propaganda win for them. They are evil pig fucking bastards but it's not worth giving them so much credit. They are playing you and playing the media to stir up enough hate so they can more easily recruit suckers to their gang. The "us and them" shit is playing right into their hands.
There is capitalism and there is unfettered capitalism red in tooth and claw. A bit of morality mixed in with capitalism is what we look at when we say capitalism works. Remove that and you have what Conrad wrote about in "Heart of Darkness", and a pile of other examples elsewhere.
Of course it's impractical. It's not just impractical for that metal oxide situation, it's impractical across the range which is why the "just add energy" approach is ridiculous - other things are done before adding energy.
Try actually reading about it
I certainly have done so, far more than you on the topic given what I was doing for a living.
This is isn't some poorly thought out idea of what might be technically possible
Well no, technically possible does not seem to be coming into it at all.
As for getting iron out of an iron oxide in a silicon rich molten mass - assuming the electrodes survive how are you going to get the iron out at the electrode? It's going to be far too hot to plate out isn't it? Do you have a citation (instead of an insult) on that which you have come across as part of what you are calling your "research"? If you do I suggest you actually read it and I'm sure you'll find that the only one saying "just add energy" is you.
I don't know if you are trying to get a response after your 3D printing joke didn't get one, but it's about the difference between burning gas directly in a gas turbine and using the gas to boil water and get the steam to run a steam turbine. Think for a few seconds and you'll see why the latter two step idea isn't done.
Using waste heat is just a bonus and can be done with either so don't let it distract you.
Try actually thinking about it. Consider aluminium oxide (alumina), you've got to heat it up to a bit above 2000C before it is molten. Assuming your electrodes can survive how are you going to actually get the aluminium out? Hence the process I linked to above instead of "just use energy".
Are you getting yet why your "just use energy" is coming across like "just use a Star Trek matter replicator"? I'm not suggesting impossibility, just that it's not so trivial as you are suggesting.
Seriously, do some research before bragging
I'm not bragging, merely pointing out that I know more than nothing about the topic (and that nothing point is sadly where you are arguing from for some strange reason).
Well, I guess it depends about what you want to talk.
If the objective is making steam, fine. If it's producing electricity the extra lossy step makes all the difference since you cannot get all the energy out of the steam, especially with small boilers (harder to spin a turbine with a low volume of steam so more losses).
And Xerox didn't sell it for those intervening 15 years because....?
Because it wasn't a copier and management was too risk averse to go into the business of selling computers. It's really annoying that tiny (at the time obviously) startups like Apple and Microsoft did more with what would have been less than Xerox's coffee budget than Xerox did.

Fair enough, but I don't exactly see two very major points of difference as "just like".
Good project or bad, who knows, like many other things in technology companies at the time they were fucked over by a bunch of bankers and never had a chance.
Also are you sure it wasn't going to be geostationary? With four satellites making it functional I can't really see it being anything else (but I'm no expert).

Incredibly misleading headline.
They are not making steel.
They are rolling steel already delivered in billet form into rod and wire.
The thing is called a "mini-mill" and I saw one running some time around 1989 with around twenty people total running the site.
