Linus Torvalds has stated that ARM won't win the server space because developers want to run their apps on the architecture it has been developed on and almost all are developing on x86. Almost all are developing in Java, so the actual hardware does not matter. (*facepalm*)
That's why its a reasonable estimation. Why do you troll topics you know nothing about angelsphere? Actually I don't know how many tons of uranium a reactor needs per year, considering the different levels of enrichment that is actually quite difficult.
However I worked a third of my software development career in the power industry.... idiot.
WTF? That's not how capacity factor works That is exactly how a CF "works".
I answered using estimates and one of those estimates is how many hours of power No, you answered with bullshit. Why not simply looking up how much power the wold consumes, divide it by nuclear reactors doing 500MW (or 600MW if you prefer) and then multiply it by the fuel usage of each rector, wow that would be to easy I guess.
Can you find a _single_ reputable physicist or chemist who thinks room temperature superconductors are feasible? Many speculate on the idea, but none has demonstrated a practical theory of how to do so. Are you retarded? Room temperature super conductors are the hottest research topic since decades. In my university dozens of people work on that, and I bet that is the same in nearly _every_ university that has a physics department.
Then go on about how renewable energy makes more economic sense than nuclear power. All over the world wind and solar is cheaper than nuclear. You must live in a third world country with no regulations if nuclear is cheaper at your place.
We figured out how to synthesize hydrocarbons suitable for use as aircraft fuel since the 1930s. Yes, and that fuel costs 3 times as much as fuel at a gas station. It is/would only be a viable solution for carrier based air crafts because refueling them from a gas station costs 4 times as much (due to transportation) as fuel costs at a gas station.
No idea why you link youtube videos when you are obviously never watching them...
For civil usage, gas prices have to quadruple until synthetic fuels, made from nuclear power, make any sense.
I will buy into it so long as people look at real facts and figures Well, I'm out of school since about 35 years, but I never heard about "real facts". Either it is a fact or it is not, don't you agree?
So about 8000h/yr (with a 90% capacity factor which is common in nuclear) and that's 6.25TWs of production or 6,250 1GW reactors. The CF of all power plants together is less than 50%. Because that is how much the load curve over a day varies.
You've utterly failed to understand that neutron emissions from Uranium ore are from natural fission events, which on the balance, are rare compared to alpha and beta. This, on top of Uranium's immense half life (hint: it decays quite slowly).
I'm not going to go into fast, slow and thermal neutrons, delayed vs prompt, because it will clearly sail over your head.
Enjoy the hubris.
Ohm, I should have read the rest of your comment before answering.
No, I specifically stated the neutron flux is so low as to be irrelevant from the standpoint of health physics. I never said zero Again, re-read. No, you did not.
Critical mass is when neutron capture is high enough that fission events and the neutrons they produce are captured by other nuclei, creating additional events. This is not possible in UNENRICHED URANIUM. You seem to like to play with words. My hint towards "critical mass" was that there is a neutron flux. A natural one. Obviously that has nothing to do with enriching or not.
Do we agree now that natural uranium is not only a source of alpha particles but also neutrons, or not?
As previously mentioned, ore is not enriched and neutron emitting events are rare. Obviously they are "relatively rare"... that does not mean they are not there. You have millions per second.
Not only are you arrogant, you're apparently illiterate as well. Read the link There is no link in your post:D
Perhaps that's because there really is something to the idea that embedded programming goes well beyond your experience. Rofl, I started with "embedded".
but you need to know a lot more to get the most out of a limited CPU that just barely has the capability to meet the design target. No you don't. There is no difference in knowing/need to know CPU limits versus know/need to know database limits or what ever.
The idea that embedded is super complex and everyone who never worked in that area is an idiot: is just silly.
Do you ever wonder why, by a wide margin, the US has the largest immigration of any country on the planet? No, I don't.
mean that the US doesn't have Hollywood, Broadway, and great artists of every genre Because Hollywood and Broadway still successfully tell the myth that a burger flipper can become a millionaire.
Uranium and plutonium don't go boom with critical mass. Yes, they do. That is how nuclear bombs work.
They only go boom with critical mass in tight containment, Nitpicking? Obviously if they separate to quickly you have not much yield, hence the containment.
nuclear weapons include a neutron emitter to make sure the chain reaction starts. Fusion bombs... fission bombs don't need it. Read again: critical mass.
Not to mention that U-238, which is almost all naturally occurring uranium, doesn't have a critical mass. Obviously.
I haven't carried paper money in years and do perfectly well. In the past it wasn't viable because there used to be a £5 minimum spend on card transactions, but now there's no minimum so you can pay for everything on your card. Contactless payment has made this even more convenient, and you simply flash your card to make the payment, which is far easier than fiddling around with coins and notes. That would not bring you very far in Germany. I don't know a single bakery where you can pay with a card, what so ever the card is. Or a pub for that matter, sure, there are some but my two favourite ones definitely don't accept cards.

Their development pipeline is relatively platform agnostic. Xcode kind of sucks as an IDE though.
Then use Eclipse or IDEA Intelli J
Yeah, but he would be a complete idiot if he had done that before patenting it ...
Most embedded projects in our times are not particular challenging. ...
You run linux or QNX
And if you have an 8 bit controller, it is by definition super simple.
So get down from your high horse ...
No idea, I don't know such people.
Most modern devices can mostly be controlled by speech.
Anyway, how does translate your question to a laptop? Hu?

Obviously.
You touch ... that is translated into hover. Should be obvious if you ever used a touch only device.
No idea what you mean with "accessibility" ... you should be more concrete.
where elderly are a drain on resources.
They are only a drain on resources, if they have a stroke.
And, you still fail to explain why enrichment changes the neutron emission of uranium.
Probably because you still think there is none, facepalm.
I learned plenty in physics. Clearly, you failed.
Obviously not.
Perhaps you want to explain to me "critical mass" and why a bunch of Uranium or Plutonium goes boom when you reach "critical mass" ?
Rofl, you still not get it.
Hint: how does a fission reactor start up?
You are an idiot. Trying to cite wikipedia articles without grasping about what you are talking.
So you never have been in Europe? Pfffft ....
And cinema movies are not really "culture" ... or do you think so?
