  1. Sounds like something from CantUbery Tales.

    Soalr cells are "less efficient" in hot places, yet you propose to put a *heat engine*, of all things, into a hot place.

    Just be glad there aren't more Europeans here to gang up on you and thrash you thoroughly for that brain fart.

    That's probably because you bought a toy solar panel to match it. But even back then, you could have bought a non-toy one.

    If you submitted it as GPLv2 then it is always available to be included in GPLv2 code.

    Perhaps in the US it works like that. The world is a big place, though.

    this story that you can "rescind" code

    Is that really "a story"? In my country, I'm pretty sure it's a part of author-related rights. At the very least, distribution of copies of copyrighted works hinges on author's permission. Without said permission the act of distribution (such as hosting a repository) would be illegal.

    Nice job with the red herrings, though.

    Can you perhaps read it and point to some specific issues.

    But he already said that

    it has nothing to say about anything technical at all

    and

    it never says that good code will be accepted regardless of who submits it

    Didn't he? I'd say that definitely counts as "pointing to some specific issues".

    Or you could use silicon instead, which doesn't even build a toxic mountain.

    It's actually even worse. It's a rubidium computer. You have to program it in Ruby.

    Admittedly Aluminum production is one of the most energy intense industries but the common factor is large scale consumption of power and the need for reliable power. You really don't want to expose a steel mill to a brownout.

    And smelters in Europe go bankrupt when they can't secure connection to German power. So much for your "expensive overall power costs"...

    Typical good quality crystalline silicon solar cells lose as much as 1% per year in efficiency, and lose as much as 15% efficiency in the first few months of deployment.

    Not necessarily, really. One might argue that making them look "good as new" even after two decades really should be the next goal for the PV industry.

    I think you should re-examine your priorities if you take enjoyment in watching someone crack under the pressure.

  15. Is it implausible that a part of neutrinos could have just the right energy to collide with matter after passing through Earth "almost once"? I thought the same thing held for other particles, and that by giving them the right energy, you could achieve a desired penetration depth.

  16. What is "incorrect" about my viewpoint? This wouldn't be the first time that, for example, power tools had switched cells. What "project" are you talking about?

  17. Bananas are not a substitute for apples. Battery cells often are a substitute for battery cells.

  18. but when you need more then ten million pounds of the stuff to fill the tank for another launch, it gets pretty expensive

    Around $1.5M or so. Peanuts, when you consider all the other things.

  21. It would be entirely reasonable for any application with 18mm cells to switch to 21mm cells, barring those cases where it's geometrically impossible, if there's benefits to cost and performance. I won't be surprised if you start seeing 21mm cells in other devices.
