why would you want to duplicate the taste of meat? Never got that either...
Absolutely nothing wrong with the wide range of flavors available with actual veggies. Exactly! I live in Thailand at the moment and make for the family of my friend classic german salads, like cucumber salad, tomato salad and my favourite: carrot with apple. They all love it...
That is incorrect. When a physical bank is robbed you lose your money. No, you don't. The bank branch that is robbed loses a bit of its inventory in bills, that is all. If yo have bad luck and they open the lockers in the bank and you have unregistered jewelry that will get stolen and probably not replaced. But your bank account as in balance is not touched at all.
Perhaps you want to look up what base load means. Actually pretty obvious if you understand base load, midrange, load following and peak load. Hint: it has nothing to do with how you generate the power, as in coal, nuclear or gas.
E.g. most hydro plants in Germany are base load...
Three or four clean up workers died... and obviously no one knows how many actually died from inhaling radioactive material as no one makes statistics about it, because: it can not be attributed to the cause.
Last gas fired base load plant dies, may be in 2045 or 2055. I doubt there are any gas fired base load plants on the planet. Perhaps "the new" plants in the US are scheduled for base load...
You probably forgot price:D Anyway, I'm happy with my Mac Books (also the Air)... except when I have to make a rebuild of a big software project and it is only half as fast as linux box for half the price with 8 times the computing power... and no, modern builds are not io bound... well, most of the build time are the unit and integration tests anyway.
Holloway is much too pessimistic: He completely discounts any successor technologies to silicon. We already have several successor technologies, gallium-arsenid as replacement for silicon, optical computing and in the 1990s jap. companies experimented with supra conducting transistors.
In other words, the death of Moore's Law (for which read: the progress of silicon technology) marks a transition period, not an endpoint. Other techniques will suffer from the same principle constraint.
Most straight forward solutions fail quickly:D Or as some engineer once said: all problems have a simple straight forward solution that is wrong.
E.g. I want for all households in the square of +/- 20km around a given position that use a heat pump all electricity load graphs in 15minutes intervals (that is the standard) for all days between december 2000 and march 2019 where the lowest temperature was below +5C.
So meta data that indicates what load graphs are, which time span they cover, to which device/household they belong in which unit they are measured and the associated temperature to each measuring point is quite useful. Unless you are happy with the load graphs themselves and analyze them with your own scripts (which would be 35000 floats or doubles per year for the load with an associated double for the temperature at the time of measurement, probably two, one for the inside and one for the outside temperature). Obviously 90% of all load graphs have no temperatures associated as they are not connected to a heat pump.
Meta data would also indicate if that is a binary blob, compressed or not or if it is text. As a double is 8 bytes it is often efficient enough to store it as text, e.g. you only want two digits after the decimal point, so instead of unit kW (the standard) you store it as W, because you know you have in a household never a load more than 1000W to 2000W. Obviously you could omit the unit, if the meta data states that all measure points are in W... and so on.
Working with time series, especially bound to a geographic location and/or time is extremely common in science, e.g. weather or climate research, population sizes, death by cancer (or anything) by location etc.
No, I don't know that app. But I can recommend https://ankiweb.net/decks/ It is an open source flash card memorizing program, runs on most devices/OSes and has hundreds of so called decks of flash cards for nearly any topic, especially obviously languages. Decks can contain text, pictures, sound etc. It has many plugins in Python, e.g. to export to PDFs... if I have time I will probably make an eBook export (epub).
Just plop it onto some all-encompassing variant of ArXiV and let researchers data mine it to hell and back. It would be actually interesting to define some meta data standards, how to publish the actual data. E.g. for time series etc. (probably that exists already)... that would make data mining probably more universal, too.
Most of Europe never used any imperial system/unit anyway. Unless you want to call "having a foot or a mile" imperial. Every foot, mile, every "elbow" every "thumb" as in inch, every pound or ounce had its own size, and no, the correlation between one and the other was not based on 12 or 16, but was most of the time random. While weights usually stayed constant over time, that means a pound was a pound was a pound, distances did not. When the old "king" died, the new one changed feet and thumb and elbow according to his own body size. Miles were arbitrary set, sometimes rulers thought the longer the better (going far away from the roman 1000 paces metric - a pace are two steps, for you americans you mix up paces with steps). It was a kind of prestige object, because they converted how many miles a soldier could work in an hour (about 3) back and force into how fast their fastest elite troops were. So if they managed to do 1800 paces in one hour the mile would be as long as that... often that number was simply invented. Other tricks were, to simply use two hours of walking instead of one, so became the "Baadische Meile" the longest mile in german history (Mile of the Margraviate of Baaden) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Albeit in this case they did not cheat, besides using 2h as base and interestingly the Margrave Carl Friedrich himself with his entourage walked in 2h the distance of 8.88889 km
Germany probably topped it by having about 50 different definitions for everything.
Anyway, the slow unification and the introduction of railways etc. forced them to unify the systems, it is a bit complicate to plan a railway trip from Warschau to Madrid if you have to go through dozens of borders where each principal has defined his one system of length and his own local time zone.
I forgot to mention, I can sent you the html "work in progress", it is mainly a collection of similar words, but it is probably only a few hundred words yet. With similar I mean, english "wind", versus german "der Wind", or english "frosty" versus German "der Frost".
You can greatly expand your footing in another language when you learn/memorize the most similar and/or most common words first, does not even take a week:D
Oh, I'm writing a book about the similarities between english and german.
Let her focus on vocabulary... the grammar she learns in school she never will need, unless she likes to study german in an university. The many mistakes she will make and struggle with are completely irrelevant in daily life if she actually talks german, or write.
Perhaps you should have not said pre and post Mao then, when you want to point out what Mao did.
We are now post Mao... and all is like before - more or less. While the martial arts had trouble to survive, most did, or got resurrected (what ever that means for their shape).
A valley that has a nice lake with some islands, is cool for swimming, fishing, water sports, sailing, is not cute, because he dam is so ugly made from concrete.

I was not talking about the inflation loss, but the loss versus other currencies like Euro, former DM e.g.
Then relocate to Europe. A software engineer below age of 40 is not considered an experienced 'engineer', but a noob or apprentice.

Low carb != no carb.
Tofu is like Cheese.
1000ds if not close to a million variants.
The one mimicing meat, are the least appealing.
Perhaps you did not pay attention to the decline of the dollar since 1970 ... AFAIK it is now worth a quarter of the value at that time.

Ah ... you are still out of the loop?

You meant: no new base load plant since 1930 ...

I doubt there are any gas fired base load plants on the planet. Perhaps "the new" plants in the US are scheduled for base load
and even then it wouldn't handle 2 cloudy days in a row.
And what has that to do with "balancing peak load"?

Never noticed that you only can have one currency

As soon as you have rockets that don't randomly explode for unknown reasons.

Well, every time a storm destroys a cable, may it be internet or power, it is a good opportunity to burry the replacement under ground ...
Especially withOUT GPS.
FTFY.
