The Mac Mini by its very design goals is not meant to be a pro machine. That only shows how out of touch you are. The Mac Mininks by all means a pro machine, e.g. for software development or as a build slave in an CI/CD environment.
Tidal and wave power have problems with silt in the water causing incredible wear on systems. Strange that neither the power plants nor the power plant operators know that.
Tidal, wave, solar, and whatever else they are working on, won't come to market for at least a decade. Well, if you start building a nuclear power plant now, I guess it will be online in 20 years.
Wave power plants work like wind plants. You can put one online every few days...
And I don't get what you mean with "market"... you can buy them right now, all three: tidal, wave, solar...
Also, building a storage tank that can hold billions of watt-hours of superheated steam isn't free. That is exactly why you don't store steam, but molten salts...
IR does not go through clouds. It does. But it has the same problem with "diffuse light":D
Solar-thermal is dying and this material is unlikely to revive it. No it is not. It is actually the future of solar power. They have reservoirs build in and work up to 4 days without sunlight, and they are dispatchable.
But that is not enough of an advantage to offset the higher costs. Seems the power plant companies disagree.
You forget that the typical mirror based plants are not the only ones, e.g. we have up wind plants, too. They are simple and cheap.
Back 20+ year ago neural network was just like Quantum computing today. Actually: no. Neural networks are a mature "science" sind minimum 30 years. Now we have the processing power to run/train networks like Alpha Go. But the math did not change at all. Well, the new thing is that we have dedicated hardware for ANNs and don't need to run them on a CPU or GPU.
he US hasn't exercised any imperialistic urges since the end of WWII. Korea Vietnam Phillipines Kuwait Iraq
If you are nitpicking you can count Chile, Argentinia, basically every country in mezo america, e.g. Panama.
The US is not building an empire. We conduct regime change, and attempt to stabilize to pull out as quickly as possible This might be a delicate choice of words, but people call that imperialism. You put up regimes supporting your empire, and wonder why said regimes are fought by revolution forces.
Actually I do, and that has both nothing to do with the topic.
Perhaps you should (re-)start reading about the basic concepts of a fission reactor if you think the difference between a breeder and a "burner" (no one calls them that btw.) is relevant.
Yes it does. But both phenonema have the exact same effect: only at different places on the earth. While El Nino makes is cold her and warm there, La Nina just reverses that. So: the average temperature as far as the two ENSO extremes are concerned: are the same.
is that they anonymize their results to avoid being sued by multinational corporations with enough money to spend on lawyers that they will bleed the researchers dry before they can win That is nonsense. You usually have no costs during a running court suit. The losing party pays at the end.
The only plausible idea I have, why rock slat is contaminated at all is: they package it in the same plants. So it gets cross contaminated by sea salt. By definition rock salt can not contain plastic micro particles, unless there was once an ancient civilization that polluted the salt....
Also why would the concentrations be higher in salt from Asia? Because most Asian nations still have bad treatment of waste water and garbage. The coasts there are much more littered with plastic then e.g. the Atlantic Ocean in France or the Northern Sea in Germany.
Obviously we produce more CO2 than we would if we had not switched off half the nuclear power plants.
And? What is exactly wrong with that? After all we are world leader in CO2 reduction... now give us a damn break.
Your links have to be taken with a few grains of salt anyway... our nukes are base load plants, not made for load following. We simply don't need them anymore. Then again the links are outdated, while we slow down in expansion of our solar and wind installations, we still put more renewables online than estimated 10 years ago.
We did not have such warmings as you claim. 1945 and the surrounding years where extremely cold. At least in Europe...
How much of the rise we've seen post-WWII was natural, and how much was man-made? Pretty stupid question. Everything is man made. There is no natural effect that can increase the temperature on the planet that much over a course of 100 years.
and the 800 pound gorilla of inter-year variation is the El Niño/Southern Oscillation, which send the entire planet's temperature careening back and forth by 2/10 of a degree one way or the other (against the projected 2 degree/century,.02 degree background rise). No, it does not. El Niño and La Nina only shuffle the warm and cold patches on the planet around. The average temperature is just the same.
It is not in the article that they will again go up in 2018... and most likely they will drop by a record mark... because the summer brought lots of wind and solar power and the winter will most likely be very mild.
The EU emissions aren "going up", asshole. There was a 1.3% fluke in 2017 versus 2016... that is not a trend. And if you did not pay attention: the winter 2016/2017 was unusually hard. Obviously people heated more than the years before.
So if you want to make a smart argument it would be: "The EU did not reduce CO2 emissions by itself so much as people might believe, but benefitted from extremely mild winters in the previous years. The mild winters contributed quite a lot to the CO2 reduction efforts".
But that is not what you want to write, you want to be an asshole instead... good luck with that.
In a "warmer" globe, there's a high probability you will get colder in the winter. That is bollocks. It is actually the winters that are super warm and not the summers. Summer temperature did not really change recent decades. The winter temperatures are up by 20C... not 2C... 20C, partly even more. But as soon as the great lakes have a winter that is a bit cold, but would still be considered pretty warm, 50 years ago: people panic!! Oh! There is no warming, look how cold it is!!
installed in nations with even the most malicious intent and not be a threat as they do not create isotopes ad infinitium. Of course they do... or do you think they magically vanish just because we use Thorium instead of Uranium?
and it doesn't mean that parental-management tools (such as this) are wrong for having different default choices than you'd prefer. Yes, they are wrong.
A 14 year old and above has the right to inform her/himself about sex related questions. And if parents block that, it is clear signal that the parents are not the right persons to ask. Also it seems you missed to read the summary: "sex assault hotline", why the funk would a search like this be blocked?

Supplies are essential, but they're aren't *that* essential.
Considering that most wars are lost based on the lack of supplies ... or won, by making the enemy suffer from a lack of supplies ... just saying.
Actually I do, and that has both nothing to do with the topic.
Perhaps you should (re-)start reading about the basic concepts of a fission reactor if you think the difference between a breeder and a "burner" (no one calls them that btw.) is relevant.
Granted by the charta of human rights.
And in Europe granted by law, after all we don't live in the middle ages here.
Yes it does.
But both phenonema have the exact same effect: only at different places on the earth. While El Nino makes is cold her and warm there, La Nina just reverses that.
So: the average temperature as far as the two ENSO extremes are concerned: are the same.
E.g. look at the maps here: https://www.climate.gov/enso
The BoM used to have good maps, but they reworked the website so I don't find them right now, but here is a start: http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/...
No it is not.
Brittanny has like the rest of Europe warm sommers and super warm winters.
A storm with rain != cold.

I learned logic in school.
So if you want to make a prove by contradiction, make one ... good luck.

Of course they do
We do not have the technology to remove the billions of tons of CO2 we've pumped into the atmosphere.
Of course we have the technology.
Do we have the money, the time to install it on big scale? Probably not.
No idea why people mix up "technology" with "practically".

I feel honoured that you call me a wind wizard.
What are my specs and what spells can I do?
So my mom wants sex with me and I google: "how to say no to sex" ... with no result.
Obviously my next search is: "how to poison my mom"!!
