This only again has a few thinking errors: a) nuclear power is not the cheapest, it is more expensive than any other form b) hydrolysis is not inefficient I'm super tired about hering this bullshit c) nevertheless what would you do with the hydrogen? d) 90% of all countries have no use for a desalination plant, we have rain e) a few of the countries that had use for a desalination plant, you most likely wont like having a nuke plant
Most of the wind will be at the cost, and he likely lives somewhere on flat land or in a city. So his perception is that there is none or not much wind, because he is in "the center" of the heat bubble over his country. But at the edges they will nice wind, particular at the coast and mountain ridges. What most people don't know: no wind at the ground does not mean no wind in 100m height. That is the main reason why we build 150m high masts and put a wind mill with 160m diameter on it.
To me, "base load" just means, generate enough energy for what's needed. And that is plain wrong.
Base load is the "minimum amount of energy you always feed into the grid".
Draw a load curve of a day. Copy it 7 times for a load curve of a week. Does not need to be accurate, only needs to make somehow sense. A peek around 7:00-9:00 another peek around 18:00-21:00, in between a plateau perhaps a bit lower than the peeks and a deep valley between 1:00 and 4:00 at night.
Now draw a straight line from left to right through the loud curves at the point of your deepest valley.
Everything below that line is "base load". Everything above it is: peak load, balancing load, load following load etc. Actually you don't say load to that, you say energy.
And that exactly is the problem with the anti global warming idiots, anti renewable morons, pro nuclear advocates: they don't even know the most basic thing about how a power grids works. Base load is a very very very basic thing, the simplest thing you probably could learn and remember about a grid. And here on/. you can basically assume 90% of all posts containing the word: are wrong.
Nothing requires "a base load". You don't know what "base load" means.
Modern grids that phase out old base load plants actually don't use the term anymore. Germany produces in peak times more power by wind than we have "base load". What do we do then? Hu? We power down the base load plants to fit demand, obviously. And: that is exactly the reason why we don't "need" base load anymore.
Modern reactors don't solve the waste problem. They only produce a little bit less waste. And 100% certain you are one of the morons who mix up spent fuel with waste. The spent fuel "waste" is only 10% of all the nuclear waste we have. And that spent fuel you could reuse in modern reactors to... produce more waste of the 90% kind... wow, what a progress.
Most countries have a stable or decreasing population. I don't there any problem. We don't distribute food good enough, or in other words, in some regions warlords are reigning and snitching stuff away and let the population starve. Beyond that we have enough food for twice the population right now. 50% or more of all food is thrown away.
As long as a country can cope with its population, either growing, stable or shrinking, there is no reason to intervene.
Because the population increase is only a part of it, even considering that it probably doubled in the last 40 years. The other thing that increased is transportation, firstly cars and secondly ships and on top of that air traffic.
'Coders' don't define what people 'need'. Product managers, product owners, comapies do.
I'm fed up with the Apple hater bullshit.
I write the code my customer wants me to write. And my customer does not care that I use a Mac for it. And: I stick it into your mouth! I write it in Java... deal with it.
We are talking here about computer science. There is no need to keep you skill 'up to date' (unless in windows administration perhaps) Computers and 'stuff' workes the same since 80 years.
Why the fuck anyone thinks that programming in power shell versus bash is a 'big deal' is beyond me.
I'm waiting for the crypto mice, you can feed to your crypto cats, and the crypto hay and grain you feed to you mice. And then imagine someone invents crypto snakes! Compeeting with the cars about the mice...
The question is: do you want aid beyond reanimation, rebirth, invasive medicine, put on machines etc. You answer this with no, while you are concioness.
That answer is valid when you are unconsciousness, too. Nothing has changed. A hospital or first aid helper is supposed to honour your consciousness answer. Not to put you on a machine, "because the situation has changed".
ROFL, download an Eliza program and look at it, Of course it had a concept of language, How elese should it work? Hu?
Of course it only could use english language as it is easy to take a sentence and convert it into a question. That is what Eliza basically does: Q) what are you thinking? A) I think about sports. Q) Whold you like to tell me more about your sport?
Etc.
It is a loop that does string replacements after doing some easy string matches, looking for words that are clearly verbs or clearly nouns.
The guy who wrote the first version had a clear understanding of english and an suoerbly simple algorithm to match 'words' and 'phrases' without understanding the language itself. I mean, he understood the language, Eliza does not.
While I agree that there is to much JS horrorr in modern browsers, there are plenty of reasons to have part of the logic as JS in the browser. One is scalability. Keep in mind the 'power of JS' with libraries like jquerry, reactJS etc. come from the fact that browser vendors could not agree on standards. Erm... could not agree to implement and adhere to standards. As soon as you give someone a tool, like a 'nice JS library' he has it easier to 'abuse' the tool than to learn the underlying principles of the domain. Well, I only use JS forr real programming, controlling Eclise, the debugger, downloading code for tests on hardware etc. I avoid web programming like the plague, unless it is done in GWT (browser heavy) or Vaadin (back end heavy). The programming model of Vaadin, I really like, though.
Dude, in the US there are states where 12 year olds can get executed for murder. Other states prosecute 10 year old boys for sexual assault when they help their 8 year old sister to pee. The ten year old in that case was brought into court with chains at the feet and hands cuffed to his back... The USA is the country of absurdities, most specially in regards to laws or court rulings.

You can bond with cats, just like with dogs.
Yes, they are harder to train, but that is all.
I bottom line don't think there is a big difference in 'smartness' either.
If you ever have seen how easily dogs get tricked by wolves you would not consider them smart anymore. A cat/lion/tiger would never fall for that.

Well,
I'm not a fan of JS in the browser.
I'm actually not a fan of web apps either. I mean, web sites that try to behave like an app/program.
I think this is more a 'how should the web work' question than a JS question.
