Nuclear plants generate massive amounts of power. You need about 10 coal plants to equal a single nuclear plant
False equivalence. You are comparing entire power stations with several reactor units to individual units inside coal fired power stations. Shame on you.
This type of argument one of the reasons why there is such distrust of nuclear power. You are making it worse for the technology that you are advocating.
Tiny electronics motors with incredibly fine control is easy. Tiny hydraulics with incredibly fine control, not so much. What you suggest sounds wonderful but there would be an awful lot of invention of components instead of getting bits off the shelf.
A steam explosion is still an explosion (Chenobyl). A hydrogen-oxygen explosion is still an explosion (Fukushima fuel rod storage a few days after the pumps failed). You can watch the video of the latter online if you like.
OK, but how many reactors which were built like shit are still in operation?
Not a lot because they were all quietly closed down after TMI or upgraded to solve various problems (mostly instrumentation).
just as shit as Fukushima Daiichi
Oh, moving the bar from obviously dangerous to the level of just being a lot less than ideal? In that case all of them even the AP1000 reactors under construction (1980s design with tweaks). There's nothing really more modern than the Fukushima reactor at the scale required for commercial electricity generation in the USA at the moment.
If that is true it's still an almost powerless thing, destructive leech or not. All this shit about the union planting a sleeper agent for 4 years, seriously, what does Musk take us for?
they would have still been a fuck-ton better off having Sanders sit there
Logically yes, but in terms of their political ambitions also very naive. They (as in party officials) are happier to have a Republican (or a Republican in name only) to blame than to have someone like Sanders that they neither control nor can blame. What's best for the country comes a long way down the list.
As for the translators and the pilots, exemptions can be granted
It had to be thought of after the artificial emergency instead of exemptions included in the original order which is what a competent leader would do.
Let's see how this goes in the Supreme Court - we could have a record for the shortest amount of time before breaking the oath of office if it's declared that he acted unconstitutionally.
The unions in the USA are incredibly weak compared with those in Germany and do not have anything like the power you suggest to stop modernization. Those other countries that produce more, better cars, faster have unions with more of a say in workplace than in the USA, so I really don't get why you push that line unless it's to say what The Party says you should say in Amerika. Nyet?
Paying for a sleeper agent for 4 years? Presumably doing this in a few places. That's going to be a lot of money. Smell the bullshit yet? That bullshit has a bit of a scent of Musk.
I still use lynx from time to time and used to use it to get nvidia driver downloads. I can't use it for that purpose and a lot of other pages now because there are things you just can't get to beyond the first page if all you have is text. I don't know how blind people would cope because they have text mode web browsers as well. There must be a lot of the web they can't get to despite web design 101 from the early days of the net insisting that you must have some way for blind people to navigate your site.
therefore DHS is staffed by idiots and the whole thing is a fascist plot hatched by Trump's white nationalists"
It doesn't have to be a fascist plot to be an incredibly stupid idea that adds a major new risk to travel to the USA. Getting thrown out for saying something bad about whoever is in power or saying something good about their pet hates, even as a joke.
because such a system would use machine learning
Oh what fun - it sees "hydraulic ram" and reports something about a water sheep - you've just added an extra layer of incompetence to an already stupid and intrusive idea.
That is why, as you observed yourself, this crap started during the Obama administration
I didn't vote for him or Hillary either so how about avoiding stupid and irrelevant cheap shots. This looks like the TSA exploiting an opportunity to get hold of more taxpayers money instead of something from the executive branch.
Without non-governmental information sources, almost nobody from places
Do you even believe that silly excuse yourself? If so you are almost the only one because the people who dreamed it up don't believe it and are say that excuse as a blatant lie. It's not to "help" people - social media as evidence to allow someone into a country - how fucking ridiculous. Please stop insulting me by thinking I'm stupid enough to fall for that if you just keep on repeating it over and over and over.
Blame the government not the union - or better still vote for someone that will remove the stupid all or nothing thing (if you can find someone). Other countries don't do the all or nothing thing. I think the laws were originally drafted to ensure that "nothing" would be the default in most places. From what I've seen it's only the places where employees already feel screwed over that more than half would bother to join a union.
The first step would be to in some way prove that such a thing happened. Is Musk taking legal action or just ranting about it? If it was real I'm pretty sure he would have let loose the lawyers over such an extreme action and he's be looking at a very easy win if it was real.
But it's another thing to join a company with the purpose of getting it's employees to join an existing union
Indeed, but if you wrote a novel about it the publisher would throw it at your head in anger and ask how a union would get the money to fund spy stuff.
Secret undercover union man? Worst superhero ever. It's just stupid.
It's a fake grass roots movement
It's so incredibly fake that it's certain that it's not real in any way apart from a rant from Musk.
So unions decided not to re-tool and just keep on rolling the same sort of crap down decaying production lines while the Japanese and Germans came in to dominate the automotive market? I think you got the spelling of MBA wrong and wrote union instead.
Where does the union get the money for this all powerful spy network? It's not as if they have argued for a gold plated deal and their members can contribute much.
I always say that unions were necessary up until the 80's, since then I have not seen them do anything other than destroy
Guess when the concentration of media ownership happened, and guess what Rupert Murdoch really hates.
That's how the movie would go, but anyone watching it would know it's "sexed up" drama and not a documentary. Come on guys, the bullshit reeks with this one.
Exactly he's complaint is not against Unions per se but against someone who purposely got hired by Tesla for the expressed purpose of instigating Unionization.
Isn't he lucky then that real life is very rarely like that and it's either his own conspiracy theory bullshit or (far less likely) a delusion. Here's a tip guys - if it sounds like a very badly plotted spy movie and the situation is something as mundane as a factory then it's time to start sniffing for the bullshit.
I've never been in a union, but I have worked in a place where a few months after I left everyone joined up on the same day in response to a stupid decision by one manager. That sort of stuff is far more likely than spy movie bullshit.
SF movies typically tie into whatever tech is trendy at the time so seeing an echo in reality isn't that strange. In the novel it was from biological warfare but Hollywood changed it to a virus that was supposed to cure cancer in the 4th movie version. The screenplay writers did it because they heard about serious attempts to have a virus that cures cancer and chose it as the target for their rant against the modern world. Maybe they think we should just sit still and wait for the rapture instead of trying to cure cancer.
The version called "The Omega Man" had the original biological warfare angle. I wish those damned dirty apes in Hollywood hadn't got their stinking paws on "I Am Legend" for the 4th movie version (third was direct to video but still a movie).
Bernie was an outsider not a lifelong member of the party. The Democrats (the party not the people who vote democrat - annoying how I have to spell everything out) would see any win by him as a loss. This is not a dig at the above poster (it probably doesn't apply to them), but typically Americans are so politically naive that they even think "Atlas Shrugged" is some brilliant thing instead of a pathetic call for the implementation of Russian feudalism in a place that already has something hundreds of times better. Parties are about factions and not ideals. The people running the Democratic party didn't give a shit about what Bernie's policies were and whether he would win or not, what mattered is that he wasn't already in the club.

No, because he made the NSA a global laughing stock and they'll push hard on any President who can get him.

Cement lets a lot of water through. Even a glass will do that over time. What you are looking for is Synroc IMHO.

So more like utter bastards than utter morons.
Yet you still believe they have the resources to plant sleeper agents for 4 years?
It's not Russia yet.
It had to be thought of after the artificial emergency instead of exemptions included in the original order which is what a competent leader would do.

Everyone should have to negotiate on their own without help from a position of weakness.
Is that what you are trying to say?
The first step would be to in some way prove that such a thing happened.

Tempe, Arizona - awesome address for a HR company in my opinion :)
