Can someone give a short explanation on how the previous relate to the new ones. Also are the new ones in the category of silicon fix (halve a year cycle time at best) or microcode??
50 year plus old turbojet engines, small and less sophisticated wing (missing vortex lift), only a fraction of the resources of Concorde design/development - won't cut it.
carbon/composites instead of RR58 aluminium alloy, CFD modeling and current FWB controls will surprisingly or not fail to produce meaningfully better performance
kudos to the Concorde designers who still have to be topped almost 50 years after its first flight
Globalization is neither good nor bad, but CETA is a bad deal. Especially when we want to battle resource limitations and climate change. A key problem with CETA is the so called protection for investors, which sounds like we do not have a proper legal system in Canada and the EU. CETA has also a system which allows to modify the treaty later without parliamental control. So in short it is undemocratic and I want to keep my democracy.
explaining this to the quite rule-based society Germany probably, which is typically receiving end of why trade needs state-independet dispute resolution even for established democracies. The 2nd part of the answer is why counterintuitively trade agreements and nation-independent courts would be the most impactful way to address climate change (!) if implemented properly.
(1) The badly termed Schiedsgerichte investment court system (also investor-state dispute settlement-ISDS) protects investors from one country to political arbitrariness. Recent examples are:
* banks having to forgive part of loans by decree of other governments that gift bank loan reductions to its voter clientele (Hungary, Croatia). Technically the exchange rate is modified by changing laws, which in effect forgives part of the loan. Needless to say that people will invest less given this, for which in the end all lose.
That is, it's not uncommon at at all that even developed democracies parliaments/governments change rules affecting the investments of others on the fly. You would not believe how common it is even in more developed democracies for ex post facto changes based on domestic politics that harm investors from other nations, it's possible to cite many more recent examples.
If an investor wants to go to court for this with only domestic courts it may amount to a wish-you-good-luck situation. So there need to be non-national, potentially less biased independent courts (better) or resolution mechanisms. As trade agreements are badly explained and quite complex which makes them prone for popular simplifications. but it's not given that robust democracies have need independent judiciary.
(2) Climate change: I would posit that CETA-alike agreements with China could do more for climate change than lip-service non-binding populism as maybe seen with COP21 (non-binding Paris climhttps://yro.slashdot.org/story/16/10/30/2233243/ceta-signed-off-as-wallonia-folds-under-pressure#ate treaty). If China would need to pay for its environmental emissions enforced by proportional duties and other instruments, overseen by independent dispute settlement courts it could lead to real CO2 parts per million reductions.
A pity that (2) sounds completely unrealistic in a populist climate of trade being bad mouthed and the need for non-national courts weakly understood.

The European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is already under construction, no political BS, and with 39m diameter a much larger class than the 26m GMT's .
Having posted the referenced lengthy account of my GPU issues above I need to retreat the line of argument that it falls into the same issue category as my MBP and is not the by others faulted Early 2011 model.
My MacBook with the issues described is a: Retina MacBook Pro Mid 2012 a.k.a. MacBookPro10,1 Sales# MC975LL/A, Model# A1398, Production week 27-2012 with a discrete NVIDIA GT650M chip.
The issue of a lack of transparancy on HW issues I can nevertheless underline from having an issue-ridden MBP from another prior episode. The (first) Intel MBP 2006 I had in use produced a high pitch whining noise which similarly resulted in 2 mainboard swaps. The time it took until it became an acknowledged issue with service being aware of it was lengthy, and the customer experience then mimicked the one described before...

I was at an EU company which built a worldwide massive business based on what was in-house developed silicon - a chip - as crystallization point. The semiconductor capability was consecutively sold and innovations of a similar kind did not happen as far as I know thereafter.
this is a unusually grossly wrong submission having gotten to the/. frontpage. The gross project funding amounts to EUR 1 billion (approx. USD 1.35 billion) which is allocated to all the over 100 participant institutions, companies and groups - of which Nokia is only one. The effort is led by Chalmers University of Sweden.
I use services from India regularly commercially and pay with Paypal as bank transfers have disproportionally too high transaction costs. Without paypal (and there are no other non-obscure options to wire low-value amounts) I simply stop sourcing this route and go elsewhere. Makes me wonder why people don't rebell against paying bureaucrats that despite being well-fed from taxes in the end make them poorer.
the cost of a 10Gb optical interface (optical transceiver and layer 2 forwarding) is presently that of several macbook pros. Unless mass-manufacturing planar optics makes a huge jump forward in the next days, your next interface in 2010 is going to be electrical.
it could and should be consecutively shifted to the industry, then firms, then down to single polluting plants. The more fine grained the cost is allocated the more investment in pollution reduction will occur (or more efficient investment that is).
the magic is: it does, as the entity that sells the credits will converge to an equilibrium in which it is the cost of investing in pollutant reducing technology equals the price of/the income due to sales of the emission certificates.
The present economics of high-end seminconductor manufacture (65nm fab at eur 2,5 billion a piece) and the brutal semi business cycle will lead their consulting-types to abandon manufacturing. Maybe it would turn out to become a fabless company that is a process generation behind, or with no semis at all, just I would not bet on it staying as it is.
I think it's fairly clear where this is going and what the Cylon plan is: merge their design genome with the human one and voila - here comes the cyman.
I could watch another 200 episodes of TNG if they were produced in the format of Roddenberry ST/TNG/DS9.
Mr. Bermann's mindset reflected in the shows since Roddenberry's death is just - simple.
I have done that 12 years ago on AIX with no problems as long as (a) the hd you dd it off from and to are sound and (b) there are no transmission failures beyond what rsh (at that time) would retry and mask.

The CPU-overhead on the Xen hypervisor is much much lower - between 2-4%. http IO has been less explored. There have been workshops on its use in HPC http://xhpc.wu-wien.ac.at/ http://xhpc.ai.wu-wien.ac.at/
would be interesting what some of the better terraforming models would say with the water in lieu of vast amounts of dry CO2 factored in.
you don't understand the idea of Kyoto and market-based pollution reduction. Don't worry, you are not alone.
it could and should be consecutively shifted to the industry, then firms, then down to single polluting plants. The more fine grained the cost is allocated the more investment in pollution reduction will occur (or more efficient investment that is).

Aussies screw themselves with CFLs and their politicians. Join the Kyoto Agreement - then screw in the light bulbs.
