bio-metrics foolishly rolls all 3 of those things into ONE and that is just bad security practice and it's not going to likely change. No it does not. Authentication and Authorization are still separate. Or are you suddenly "root" when you put my fake hand on my sensor?
So we are all lucky that you are not sailing a ship or commanding an airplane...
And errors are big enough to make any navigation that'd use miles dangerous. Err... no?
At least no one seriously considers calculating west-east position in miles Between 70degrees north and 70degrees south: everyone does that. Actually we do it all over the planet, but if you get closer to the poles you can not do simple math in your mind anymore.
Will my wondering ever cease why people talk about stuff they have no clue about?
In europe is probably no single hard coal mine that is not subsidized.
So, about what are you talking? Importing coal from China is cheeper than wind power? Well, it is wrong, but a nice hypothesis. Digging your own coal is cheaper? Obviously not, as it is 10 times as expensive than importing it from China... or USA... or Chile... or Australia.
as there is plenty of Uranium still available from the mines in the Erzgebirge, those mines are just not active because they would be unprofitable to run at this point. Profitability has nothing to do with that... There are plenty of possible uranium mines in east Germany. They are all closed because of environmental concerns, not because of costs.
And why do you consider it non-sense to go from a situation where many coal mines survive only by throwing tax money at them to a situation where fewer coal mines exist that are profitable? Because the price of coal is not changing so dramatically that other mines get profitable... for that you would need a price increase of a factor of 10 or more.
anybody at this time can still think this whole thing is not real and not very dire is beyond me. People like you will probably deny there is a problem while in the process of dying from its effects. Because most people are to young.
They came out of high school or college around age of 20... with age of thirty they here: there is a problem with the climate. But for them it was always like it is... perhaps a very very little bit less turbulent when they where young. I grew up in an area where the christmas temperature was usually below zero, one record night was 31th of december, not sure about the year, but I got my appendix removed on 24th of december. So it must have been 1974 or 1975. In the night from 31th to the 1st of January, or the next night, I don't remember when I was outside around mid night (I think it was from 1st to 2nd), we had -30C. (Five days after christmas). At those times the winters were cold, -30C at night was common. Daytime usually not above -10C. That always lasted from beginning of January till mid or late February.
Two or three years ago we had at 23rd of December +23C. Easy to remember because of the coincident in numbers...
While the cold was somewhat annoying, and costed us dearly in heating... it had many benefits, too. It killed insects, like mosquitos. Farmers only needed to plow and not to crush the big shards of soil later, that did the frost. We actually used less salt, because either it was dry, or it was snowing. No freezing rain or half melting snow around. The air was fresh and clean. You had sunshine and not a rainy grey sky for 3 month. I was usually healthy all winter long... now I have one or two times a cold.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but it is actually likely that I spent a big deal of my spring, summer, autumn in future in Asia, mostly Thailand, but the winters in north scandinavia, or Alaska. Yes, counter intuitive... but the summer in Thailand is not much warmer (if at all) than the summer in Germany. The spring and autumn in Germany is nice. Winter and summer are just awful. Well, summers are getting better, IMHO... but not better for the farmers. And I miss the true winter.
Religion is for dumbasses. And being a dumbass towards people who follow a religion is 'racist', and dumb.
You probably forgot: humans have a gene for faith and a whole brain region allocated to it.
That is the problem with people who use science for arguments, but know nothing about basics science as in biology and genetics. About the existence of a brain region dedicated to religion and faith, we know minimum since 30 years. Probably longer...
The ending of government subsidies to coal mines will have an equalising No it does not. It is not the coal that is subsidized. It is the wages of the workers. The subsidizing stops, there is less coal on the market (as the mines are closed). If there is a price change it might go up, but it is just more likely that the drop in the ocean that is now no longer dropping is replaced by a few ship loads of coal from China or Australia.
We don't import much energy from difficult nations such as the USA...
Then again, the most important energy we import is: oil.
No idea why people like you nitpick about a little bit of coal, where ever it comes from, and a little bit of gas, where ever it comes from. In the big picture it is completely irrelevant. And: Germany has its coal exhausted. We have more or less the gas exhausted, the oil is gone long ago. Except for wind and solar: we import all energy, and will do so for ever!
You're telling me mining in EU countries like Poland or Bulgaria will stop? LOL. That will put a major proletariat force out in the street, a force that the yellow jackets will look feeble next to. No it won't. There is no "mining proletariat" left. Mining is done with machines, and two or three people supervising the machines. The time that mines (and smelters and forges) employed a lot of people was 30, 40, 50 years ago.
I mean, it was the Polish miners who brought about the collapse of Communism, remember? No it was not. It was a trade union, the trade union of the shipyards.
No, most of coal mining will remain operational in the EU The article is about closing mines that are subsidized. In Germany that is _every_ mine. The hammer from the EU is only coming because the german governments never dared to completely drop all subsidizing. Hint: if every coal worker would be set free and continued to be payed by the government, the state would pay less than he does at the moment in subsidizes.
Perhaps you should grow up and learn to read some newspapers... you are out of the loop since 50 years.
To my knowledge, no mainstream model has ever predicted that the South Pole would be ice free in our lifetimes. If the antarctic ice melts (or slides into the ocean) during my remaining lifetime (30 - 50 years, give or take): posts by idiots on/. will be the least of our problems. East and west coast of the US (the centers of internet, e-comerce etc.) won't exist any longer. Basically 90% of what is inhabitated at the moment by people will be under the sea.
And then a shark flies in from behind and is about to eat her when the screen cuts to black. That is because the other shark, or was it a reptile... got the camera man.
I wonder how they managed to get it into the cinema, though... perhaps via a cloud?
Why don't you simply google what a nautical mile is?
Sigh...
The value of metrication is not in the metre being somehow better, but in ease of dealing with bigger and smaller metric units. Or in angles? Perhaps? Being able to make simple calculations in your mind? This is the position of Greenwich: 51.48ÂN 0.00ÂE. What is the coordinates 100 nautical miles north? What is it south? What is the _approximated_ position 100 nautical miles west or east?
originally supposed to be defined relative to the size of the earth: on ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole Oh, thanx. I never heard about that. The redefinition however did not change its length, only the base on which it is defined.
The one who wants the money, comes to the point where he gets the cheque. Makes a fingerprint, the clerk checks the fingerprint with his paper records.
That would be easy. But then we had the clerk again.
Sorry, your idea about fraud is just nonsense. A state usually know how many citizens with what name it has, so it simply moves the money to their bank accounts, or everyone gets a state issued credit card.
To fraud such a system you need a conspiracy spanning everything from forged birth certificates, but kids not showing up in school, never having a doctor appointment, not having a cell phone don't doing any credit card things, mortages, driving licenses etc. p.p.
It is simply not worth the effort to fraud a system to get an extra $1000 to shift you from lowest level of existence to "barely above it".
Sure: *I* could do it for the fun of it... I man the fun of hacking... but all the time I invest how to figure how to make it bullet proof, I could invest in writing a novel, about the subject how to figure it...
It's too bad a calorie and a joule didn't come out to the same value. That would make life even better. Calories actually come from that value. Increase the temperature of 1 liter of water from 14.5 degrees C to 15.5 Cis equivalent to one kilo Calorie.
And what exactly have the french to do with it? Oh, they keep the "meter" and the "kg" in a "museum"... why are you blaming them for that?
The airplane has to "navigate". A nautical mile is the "natural size" (or part of it) of the planet. Anything else than nautical miles make no sense for navigating either planes or ships. But a car has a road... so the measurement of the distance can be arbitrary.
If there's a UBI program there will be people who will try to defraud it (double payments, triple payments.. etc etc). And how exactly should that be possible? You have two ids? And you need a special anti double UBI payment unit to find people who have two ids? But that problem with multiple ids seems to explain how idiots like Trump win votes? idiot. Hint: fingerprint... or face recognition.
Every article and news site I've read since the disaster says the death toll directly attributable to the meltdown is zero, precisely as the GP stated. That was at the time of the meltdown. We are now 3 or 4 years later...

The summary clearly states:they are closing mines.
Germany closed its last mine a few weeks ago.
