The water is pushed thousands of feet below the water table, so if the wells are cased appropriately (which is what the report is noting) then there is very little chance of groundwater contamination.
From what I've read of the report, it was a well-done study that listed best practices and lessons learned, as well as guidance to industry to maintain safe practices. It's not always bad when government and industry work together, sometimes a real benefit is achieved.
I bought a pair of Vienna Acoustics second hand, the look is part of it, but they also can handle more power than my receiver can send so I haven't heard distortion.
So much of the sound quality depends on the room, the receiver, the speaker configuration and balance. I'm barely versed on it but after a while you can hear a lot that you didn't before in your favorite tracks.
Just wondering if the Mayan Calendar included leap year in the translations. If not, let me see, 5126 years, divided by 4 = 1281 leap days missed, and it's been about 884 days since the 'end of the world' and experiments are on track for the next 900 days.
I remember a Paul Harvey segment where he said the cops knew if a thief was a professional because all the drawers of a dresser would be open and empty...indicating they went from bottom to top to save time (they didn't have to close drawers to get to the open ones) and quickly pulled the clothes to get the heavy smaller stuff at the bottom.
I've read the transcript that discusses his attempted hits, and it seems like he was supporting it. Whether it's enough to send him to prison for life, I'm not sure, IANAL, but he certainly wasn't innocent.
That being said, as they didn't allow it in the trial, it shouldn't be brought up in sentencing.
Automated surgeries will come, but it will be a while. I've had five surgeries (three knee, one shoulder, one hernia), and all doctors say the same thing when I ask...each surgery is just different enough to keep it interesting, and they always have to adjust their plan once they are in there. Hence the difference between good and great surgeons, it's their art as well as their science.
If we can truly rejuvenate brain cells to the point where one could learn new skills like languages and instruments while remembering earlier life, then it's a wonderful concept and I have no doubt we'll find ways to adapt with improved food resources and economic energy consumption. We could harvest asteroids a la Greg Bear and Kim Stanley Robinson for space housing and interplanetary colonization.
If it's a way for the old to stay in power without any youthful change, then the development of the technology must be stopped. I'm speaking as someone in his forties who knows in my sixties that it will be time to let someone else drive the car.
Normally if a prosecutor were to infer additional crimes not discussed during trial, the defense attorney would say 'Objection!' and the judge would immediately reply 'Sustained.'
As an earlier poster said, if the sentence is out of bounds for what he was tried for, he'll have a strong case for an appeal.
I'm quoting a man who told me his electric bill is about 10 dollars a month, it's not a hypothetical. If you're not in the house most of the day and you have a smart thermostat, you're generating all day without consumption, and using some electricity at night at off-peak prices.
The utility generates at wholesale prices, and then they are forced to buy it back at retail prices. In a way it costs the utility twice, once in lost revenue (arguable as conservation, agreed) and twice in paying more for power than they would when generating it alone. If they were compensated at wholesale, you could argue it's not a subsidy.
The tax breaks you get for installing them? Definitely a subsidy.
Note that he owns his home and in Calf there is the Prop 13 thing that effectively freezes his property tax to levels as much as decades ago.
Except my tax rate went up 17% last year in San Mateo for special assessments.
A good thing... sure. A smart thing I suspect not.
California revenue is largely based on the performance of the tech stock market (all of the employees stock plans are taxed as employment, and they have 10% income tax), so when the market tanks, Sacramento passes all of these emergency measures to 'make sure the schools are well-funded' and raise all the rates by a percent or more. Then the market goes up, and the newly raised rates stay constant...I love the land of California, I can't stand the government.
Let's say he has a 1,500 square foot home that he purchased for the bargain price of 450,000 dollars back in 2005, then he has a mortgage payment of about $2,500 a month. Then he has two kids to feed along with himself, so that's another $700 a month. Then everything else in the state costing about 30% more than anyone else, along with an effective tax rate of about 35% for him...carry the one...leaves him with about $600 a month, which may be needed for cars and everything else. So yeah, sad to say, he's almost poor in California.
...right now California has subsidies to people who have solar panels; any power they don't use during the day is sold 'back to the grid' at retail prices; hence, many of the wealthy have virtually no electric bill for their 10,000 square foot homes while those who can't afford the few thousand dollar lease initiation costs pay full prices.
So, if this what I consider to be unfair state subsidizing of solar panels is going to happen, and it is for now, I'm okay with some people having their burden relieved because right now the subsidies only help those who don't need it.
One issue with academia is that all research must be the stated hypothesis is confirmed, i.e. a negative hypothesis result is not considered valuable. Even though the elimination of a degree of freedom from consideration for further study is one of the cornerstones of science. Instead, everyone must make something new and groundbreaking.
The only way we would know if AI were benevolent or evil is if we knew what it thought and what it could control physically, and as it doesn't exist, nobody, not even the intellectual elite, has a clue. Or am I wrong?
It does not sweep horrid acts under the carpet; it encourages their production.
My main concern is that someone will see that as their ticket to fame and start making the videos for public distribution. This has happened already, all I needed to see was one film on goofball.com 15 years ago where a soldier's throat was cut on film in Chechnya. Their cause gets views and exposure, and that is not a Good Thing.
Yes, yes, freedom of the press, I support it, but the media are also supposed to exercise some amount of discretion. I don't watch death videos, and I'd rather that public media choose not to publish them.
If you wish to speak of morals and ethics, perhaps you should review the existing structure and their pricing model first.
There's a reason we have a compelling argument for competition here, and it's not because they have cooler looking cars.
In my view the compelling reason for Uber and Lyft is that you can view the rating of your driver and have some confidence that the driver will be professional and courteous prior to ordering the service. You have no such luck at the airport taxi stand, sometimes you get the worst driver who adds miles while talking on the phone.
The current turmoils between government and 'ride sharing' shall pass, government will get their taxes and the taxi system will either adapt or fade away.
Starting from your good estimate, 2.5 kW is about about two or three hair dryers of heat concentrated at a small unit volume (not sure of the area, but the mirror won't be that deep). Depending on the thermal conductivity of the mirror and the materials behind it, it is likely that that surface will get hot enough to oxidize and then the absorption will be greater than 5%, which will then get hotter and lead to failure.

Um...
$325 isn't even entry level for audiophiles. I don't even want to disclose what I paid for mine.
Someone I respect very much said, "Don't fish off the company pier."
-Listen more, talk less, especially when you're young.
-Always meet a commitment you make.
-Keep every e-mail.
-Show up five minutes early to every meeting.

"The production of tiny black holes is one of the predictions. "
No concerns at all with that one.
Man I hope they know what they are doing.

Not like produced porn, but haven't you been watching Isis beheadings? Does filmed death not count as snuff?

I think the more correct answer is the magnetic north pole using a compass for determining your direction. Nobody said the turns had to be 90 degrees.
