The difference being that Chinese power consumption is increasing dramatically But it will never reach american levels. Except for Kuwait and a few other states there are no states with people that use as much energy (for no sane reason) as americans do.
For that you have insurance. In many parts of Europe "house insurance" is mandatory, so you have that anyway (just before you come with the stupid idea that you can safe insurance if you simply have none)
Panels have no average lifespan of 20 years, in Germany they come with a warranty of 30 years.
Panels don't degrade 50% after 10 years, how do you come to that brain dead idea? Loss of power is about 0.5% per year and it settles around 10% - 15% depending how old the panels are (panels made 30 years ago, degrade a bit more than modern panels), usually you have a warranty that they still deliver 80% of their power after 20 years.
If you save $11,000, you have them in your pocket.
If you gain $9,490 via investments, you pay taxes on that.
The average of 6% at a stock market is no prognosis for the stock market of the next 2 or 3 decades.
On top of that you have added value of your house. Hard to guess how that works out in 20 years.
developers have always been able to keep 100%. No they haven't. They pay for a server, for downloads for licensing keys, credit card processing, billing etc. Paying 5% to an App store provider is a no brainer, I jump on that immediately.
It's closer to the Mac app store, but even then Windows has a vastly larger and more diverse software ecosystem. That is unlikely. Sure you find Windows software that has no Mac version and vice versa. But on my Mac I can run basically all Mac software, obviously, and all linux software. Sure you could argue that most linux software (especially with the new Linux sup-operation-system in Windows 10) also can be made running in Windows. In the end a typical user only runs so many programs anyway. So arguing about "the size of the eco system" makes IMHO not much sense.
I write my software in Java (Scala/Groovy) it runs on all Desktop OSes anyway, why would I care for a certain OS or its eco system?
Slack is a chat client. Some company use it for messaging groups. It has an API so git pushes or pull requests or jenkins build success or fail messages can easy be routed into message groups. AS a client it kinda sucks, it is an HTML5 web thing running as a desktop Application (and/or on tablets etc.)
We still have mainframes. And they have nothing to do with punch cards.
For the people growing up with Unix, there most definitely was a unix area before Linux.
Linux would not exist without unix and minix, and it would not have its success if not people leaving the university would have bought cheap PCs and installed Linux on it.
You are underestimating the synergy effects, like a kind of Kontratieff, wide spread Unix know how, relatively cheap PCs and emerging Linux.
Brah, if you want to pretend that the knife ban in London isn't a reflection of a concept that won't admit failure, then fine. You won't admit failure. Contradiction of the obvious is not however a strong rebuttal. I have no idea about the knife ban in London, as I don't live in London. Actually: never heard about it. Well, regarding gun violence you are obviously misinformed. Except for a few countries like Jamaika or some war zones, US has the highest death toll off all 2nd world countries, and note: I refuse to call it a 1st world country. Except for the armed forces they are third world.
A grown up tree sequesters absolutely nothing. The CO2 it "eats" is going during spring into its new leaves. Then into its fruits. And in autumn it drops the leaves, they rot, and create the exact same amount of CO2 it costed to grow them. The fruits rot or get eaten and in the end result in the same CO2 that was used to grow them.
If you believe other wise, you have a bad education (e.g. law of conversation of energy)
Old forests with mature trees typically (that is, for almost all species) sequester more carbon than young ones which are still growing. Is that supposed to be a joke?
Obviously it is the opposite around, growing trees convert CO2 into wood... grown out trees only "breath" to stay alive.
You are an idiot. Why don't you simply google how much coal Germany uses per year? Moron?
It's foolish to compete nuclear vs renewables And why is that so? Ever lived close to a nuclear plant that is 70 years old? I did... and I don't like it. No one here likes it.
It is much quicker and magnitudes of Euros cheaper to simply build new renewable power plants than build a new nuclear plant. Where actually in Germany would you build one? All those we have are illegally build on seismic zones!
True, but Germany have also upped the amount of coal unfortunately. No it has not. You can not go from 5% renewables to 40% and at the same time "up the coal". That is mathematically impossible, considering dropping power usage/production it is even more impossible.
I think technically, the wholesale switch to electric cars and genuine smart grids and smart meters will be the key, becuase that's the most likely way to actually scale things up. By genuine smart meters, I mean something more than just a digital electicity meter with an internet connection and bad security. I mean one able to respond and either buy electricity (i.e. charge your car) or sell it from your car back to the grid. We (as the germans) are working on that. Security is a problem as "watching the meter" will give you ideas what people at home are doing or if they are at home. On the other hand: watching is not that easy.
My town, Karlsruhe, is full with Chinese students. Probably close to 10,000. You can not go anywhere without seeing a Chinese.
Considering that they basically have to pay no fee, I guess they prefer meanwhile to study in Europe instead of the USA.
It is much easier for them anyway. 20 years ago they only could study here in controlled groups with a polit officer assigned. So they rarely went out, or simply could not afford to go out. Now you have them everywhere, usually as couples (that is new, too) or in small groups.
20 years ago, you only saw them in groups of 20 or 30, "controlled" by a polit officer.
The invention was 1949, though. And already copied by basically every computer manufactor before the patent 1955 was field. That kind of memory was wide spread in use till around 1980! And some companies, like "Deutsche Bahn" (German Railway) still use it. In this case in signaling software. or do you call that "hardware":D
Buying a steel plant in Germany. Disassembling it, putting numbers on every part, assembling it back in China, hiring the original crew to school the new crew: that is not stealing! That is business.
Knives about a certain size are banned all over the place.
On the other hand a guy with a knife can only kill so many... with a gun he can kill plenty more.
And no: there is no noticeable "gang violence" in Europe, and that includes UK.
And then again: how would one get a gun in Germany or UK or France? It is literally impossible, the only way is having connections into countries where you can acquire them and smuggle them into central EU.
If you would come here and would try to buy a gun: good luck! I even have no clue were to start to get one.
Gun control works, all over the world, just not in the US, because you never tried it.
Well, judges and state prosecutor are employed by the state, not the government, that might be technically a bit different in the UK if one is appointed by the crown, but then again the crown is not the government either:D
So if he hasn't broken a law in the eyes of the Germans its unlikely this will ever get even to a court. Yes, and I personally look down on him for this case, as it is morally wrong and mislead many customers, who gt compensation now, he technically did not break any law. And in the US he did not break any law either, they simply think they can put him in front of a jury and convict him anyway.

Well,
perhaps my idea what a "short" is wrong.
You sell shares you don't have, based on a kind of "credit".
Why and how would there be a public register? The whole idea of "going short" would not work if you had to register your trades.
Options might be another issue.

All current trends are at the upper edge of the corridor the IPCC is publishing, since decades.
No idea what you want to claim here. The IPCC is downplaying the warming problem since decades.
Does not answer the question, how do they know who (how much) is shortening a certain stock?
