Re:which would have been Westinghouse's bid should they have been allowed to play
You are saying this as if they were not allowed to participate for political reasons or something. Believe me, Westinghouse was considered and rejected purely due to economic reasons and all the technological issues that plagued Westinghouse's projects ever since they tried to implement their 3-D animations in real world.
Besides, how can we be so sure that this is the first extinction caused by a species? What if dodos together with other birds got away with the extinction of dinosaurs? Just because no witnesses of the dinocide(*) survived, does not mean it didn't happen.
(*) I hope it is not too early to joke about that tragic event.
I once thought I knew Excel near 100%, all ins and outs... Until I learned about its PowerPivot functionality, so all my previous knowledge was merely 10% of what Excel can do.
The shtoopidest problem I faced was in TransactSQL. Usually, the syntax there is case insensitive, but there is a difference between
where timeStamp >= format(watermark,'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss') --<-- incorrect
where timeStamp >= format(watermark,'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss') --<--correct
This bug was extremely elusive for me because the code looks fine and watermark in our data is almost never between 00:00:00 and 01:00:00 and that was when the bug sometimes causes missing data in our target tables.
Actually US has used Facebook and other social media to propagate democratic values before. "Spread social awareness" they called it there. Here we just observe "what you sow" effect.
The effect is probably on the statistician side. If you keep conducting studies trying to correlate some events with gender, you will get 1 study per 20 that "confirms" with confidence level of 95% that gender has effect on some of the events.
Yeah, yeah how mature, blame the Congress... That incident was entirely caused by an engineering oversight. Engineers in US failed to heed expertise of international atomic industry and used alloys that were known to have issues with chemical and radioactive induced corrosion. That change that they were forced to do in 2010s was already implemented in France, Germany and Russia in early 2000s.
This is also a sign of maturity of the Flynn effect, that is when you stop blaming previous generation for all the dumb things they did and start blaming next generation.
Apparently, Clinton used personal email server so that Russians could access it, while US public couldn't. Not sure why, but she must have had a reason.
I understand NY Times' desire to compete with TheOnion for delivery of satirical news, but enough is enough, TheOnion must sue NY Times for trademark violation here.
Westinghouse, AREVA (Olkilouto 3), and now Duke Energy... More and more players seem to have trouble when trying to to re-start building new nuclear plants...
It is not equivalent to the clay millennium prize. One can solve the queen chess problem by building an efficient quantum computer. You can't get the clay millennium prize if you built such quantum computer.

Yeah, next thing we find out is that Proxima Centauri is not the closed star to us at all...

30 kWh diesel generator burns 9 liters of diesel per hour .
1 liter of diesel is 835 grams, 720 grams of carbon and 115 grams of hydrogen
Burning 115 grams of hydrogen results in 115 * 9 ~ 1 kg of water vapor.
Thus 30kWh diesel generator in effect generates 9 liters of water vapor per hour or about 220 liters of water vapor per day just by burning the fuel.
It condenses money out of thin air!

That is vaporware!
I do not think that BN-800 cost more than $200 million...
Yes, let us take the most expensive(*) vehicles on the road and then let some "licensed" New Yorkians attack then from all angles.
(*) By R&D expenses.

Or 2/666 furlongs per fortnight. Coincidence? I think not!

I was referring to use of Inconel-600 in conjunction with SA316 long after the rest of the world switched to Incoloy-800.

This study has just confirmed my own findings that both my teachers in my college and my students now are dumber than me.

It is funny to hear this from a user with 7 digit id addressed to a user who was there before any of us.
Was it European or African?
This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here:
Huge success!
It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
