Well, actually yes, they do. Not every one in the parliament is a retired religion teacher.
But honestly, that is not the question. The question is if you do? Because implying there is an engineering reason that I can not change without tools and by mere hands the front light bulbs of my car, makes you look absolutely extremely dumb. Or why you think I can not open a TVs backside and replace a simple thing...
Saying "I prefer 22 point 5 as my ideal room temperature" is just evidence of a hack. If C is better than F for that, then for all the same reasons K is better than C - use that.. I simply disagree. C: 0 has a well defined meaning. 100 is for daily life irrelevant. My body temperature is 36.8 or something, we round it to 37. That I have to use 22.5 (which is rather warm) bothers no one. F: 0 is a completely meaningless temperature. 100 is my body temperature. Freezing point of water, important for dressing right or knowing if the roads might be icy: a complete "random number" which you have to memorize. Comfortable room temperature, now you don't need a 0.5 thingy, wow, that is an improvement. For you, for me it is ridiculous. K: 0 is a nice defined value. 100 is meaningless. Freezing point of water is again a hard to memorize number. My body temperature is a hard to memorize number. The comfortable room temperature is a hard to memorize number, and like C it will be adjusted in 0.5 steps.
As you clearly can see: for me the only valid option for temperature measurement in real life is... ta tam: C.
And as we are talking about it now since days: I realize the only sensible temperature measurement for you is F.
So: why not just agree that each of us has his personal preferences, which come from culture and not because one or the other system is superior?
For instance as a middle class white person, my odds of being murdered per year are around 1:100,000 That might be from the numbers true. But: a) robbery on a gasoline station or a drug store with guns and potential murder: that never happens in Europe (well never is exaggerated, somewhere at some time that might happen, but it is unlikely one gets killed) Murder basically only happen among friends or family. b) if you stop with your car (as a tourist), and a guy shoots your wife: in Europe the first idea is, there is a murderer running around with a gun, we need to get him. In the USA the first idea is: the husband killed his wife, where is the gun? c) in Europe police and state attorney work hard to get the right people. In the USA they work hard to get convictions and get as Sheriff, Judge or State Attorney reelected.
Yes, I exaggerate. But there are enough Germans in death row because of b) and c) in the USA, and I don't really want to visit such a country.
So, we are back where we started. Don't know where we actually started:D
Don't try to proselytize it to me with no scientific explanation. Why do you need a "scientific explanation" for a "sensation" you never had because you are to lazy to do a simple Chi Gong exercise? Why are you not making such an exercise and then try to find a scientific way to "measure" its effect? See below (here).
You are dismissing things everyone can feel... that is completely unscientific.
Praying is also a traditional healing method. It might have an placebo effect.
But I don't know about a "healing method" where praying is involved. Do you?
Here: I cooked some nice food, it smells awful (e.g. kidneys, they always smell so bad in the kitchen, I really go outside) Everyone knows that good made kidneys are actually extremely tasty. But: you don't want to try them, however you where not even in the kitchen and don't know about the smell.
You are simply convinces kidneys don't taste, you probably are convinced kidneys don't even exist.
Or in the Ki/Qi thingy: you have stupid religion that forbids you to do scientific experiments before the scientists has declared/explained to you how it works.
In other words: you never ever will "discover" something:D because there is not already a scientific explanation for it.
The problem is all of the power sources throughout the California region could not be collectively reduced enough to prevent grid overloading, Of course they could!! But they simply did not want to. Because exporting it to Arizona with a negative price was cheaper!
The is no "grid overload", that is a stupid term of the article writer.
Your example wiki article has nothing to do with an "overload" that could not be handled, facepalm.
From the summary: "We do need policymakers to look at it and the general public to decide what is acceptable and permissible," The society, policymakers and who ever have no reason, right whatsoever to decide what a human is doing with himself in a bed room. Using his hands, or what ever tool he wants, a vibrator or a bigger thing, the "fucking robot" is a machine. Who cares how it looks, what it does?
Electric scooters are awesome. They're reliable, cheap, and in some cases, less polluting than simply walking to your destination (assuming a Western diet, anyway). Really awesome are the e-bicycles that reach scooter speeds. They are not really cheap, though.
And since even the Royal Enfield is now Euro 4 compliant, I wouldn't limit the scope to "1st world contries". The Royal Enfield sold in/urope for 15.000 Euroes, yes. The Not So Royal Enfield that is sold in India, Thailand, Korea, Malaysia for 5.000 Euro: definitel not.
Off by an order of magnitude means: instead of 1g CO2/1km it is in reality 10g CO2/km. That translates other way around: you do not need 5l per 100km but 50l per 100km or if you are a miles per gallon fan: instead of 40 miles/ gallon you only manage 4 miles per gallon.
like allowing motorbikes with license plate numbers ending a certain digit to operate only certain days of the week. that can cut the use by 50% That does not work. People simply buy a second (or third) vehicle with the 'other number', greece/Athens tried that since the early 1980s.
They have a say in the matters. A one party system works more or less the same way than a two party system. The people in the party (and depending how it is set up also outside of it) vote for the leadership (which person does what) of the party, just like you vote for the president. It does not matter if you can pick 2 candidates, or three candidates from 2 or 3 different parties, or three candidates from one party. Bottom line it is exactly the same voting process.
Of course California could curtail their own production. Facepalm. They did not want to, because despite the negative price, that was the cheapest option. The term 'overload' is simply wrong, sorry. It is a fear monger term that does not apply to power grids.
It would be more helpful if people that hate Java would simply make a list of points they hate. Then we could fix the points or educate the people.
On the other hand someone could stand up and simply write a GCC backend (or LLVM) that compiles to the JVM, then I could code in C++ again and had all benefits of the JVM and the huge library/framework eco system around it.
The discussion is a bit pointless. As soon as a society is in shape that families don't need many kids to treat/support their own parents when in old age, has contraception etc. the population stabelizes, or as in most high industrial countries shrinks.
In Europe the land that is used for agriculture is usually surrounded by woods and other wild land that could be farmed, if one would want to go so far. We can make perhaps 1000 times more aqua farms than we have right now. We can switch diets to insects that are easy to breed etc. with sustainable fishing instead of robbing the oceans we probably had double or triple the amount of fish available. Reducing consumption of meat would free up more grain etc. for human consumption. We can build floating cities in the ocean, probably happening soon anyway. If you go for urbanization, then there are plenty of places on the planet where people would not live good in a small town, to hot, to cold, remote mountain etc. but you could build a city there. That recycles its waste water, produces parts of its energy itself, probably even has terrasses for food, depending where it is. There are plenty of options. My point basically is only: the planet is not suffering from overpopulation. Neither it is overpopulated right now nor will it be in the foreseeable future. It is extremely unlikely that we will increase population so much that we hit any resource limit.
Right now the limits are greed, destruction of resources, but most certainly not food or space.
Yeah, because you don't try to understand my standpoint. I understand yours. And only say for my life and plenty of people on the plant your standpoint is irrelevant. I happily use 0.5 scales to adjust my temperature, why would I not? Of course I never lived in Fahrenheit country, AFAIK the USA are the only ones using it. And I'm actually a bit to scared to visit the USA with all that violence, unreliable police and strange legal system.
I actually would not be wrong. The only question is if a DE calibre is big enough to get through. Phonebooks are extremely tough when it comes to bullets.
That probably let to the misconception of the guy who died, that any book is good enough.
Life forrce energy is the lose translation for Ki or Qi. And it is a concept in basically all traditional healing methods (world wide), so I would not dismiss it as 'fantasie'.
Actually wonder how wide spread the module system will be used. After all we already have OSGi, and most people bundle all required libraries for deployment and use maven/ivy/gradle to build and retrieve and bundle everything.
I guess the module system will have options to access a maven/ivy repository... never deeply dug into it.
I look at it from a teacher point of view: how to teach Java? So folks: "and as we have a complete unintuitive class with a static main method that prints our famous 'Hello World!', we only need to write a module description! And package everything into a jar file!"
Simple, isn't it?
Well, C programming also is 'complex' but those programmers usually know more about how computers actually work and why you need to link the o-files.
Then again, I worked the last 2 years with companies that had trouble to get rid of Java 6 and migrate to 7, yes 7, not 8. I doubt I will have a Java 9 project in the next 5 years.
Slashdot Mirror
Interesting.
I never saw a power supply failing.
What are the main causes for that?
Well, actually yes, they do. Not every one in the parliament is a retired religion teacher.
But honestly, that is not the question. ...
The question is if you do?

For the panels they export to Europe?
Hu?
And how is that relevant anyway? The soldering is outside of the cells, and can easily be recycled/retrieved/removed.
Looks in fact quite similar.
To bad it is Lisp ^_^
For a single thing like NOx perhaps.
Not for CO2.
Because as I said: then you would need 40times more fuel ...

The Royal Enfield sold in
The Not So Royal Enfield that is sold in India, Thailand, Korea, Malaysia for 5.000 Euro: definitel not.
Thing one: simply wrong. ... perhaps just misinformed.
Thing two: cars polute less than two stroke motor bikes.
Idiot? Well
That is because in Thailand you have an extra left lane for scooters only.
I also saw up to 5 (2 or 3 adukts and 2 or 3 kids) on scooters.
Off by an order of magnitude means: instead of 1g CO2/1km it is in reality 10g CO2/km.
That translates other way around: you do not need 5l per 100km but 50l per 100km or if you are a miles per gallon fan: instead of 40 miles/ gallon you only manage 4 miles per gallon.
Are hou really that retarded?

That does not work.
People simply buy a second (or third) vehicle with the 'other number', greece/Athens tried that since the early 1980s.
confiscation can be a very big income for a government.
Only if you can sell the stuff, you confiscate.
They have a say in the matters.

you should have thought more carefully about which side you were fighting for a few decades ago.
