To date, 440 workers have died installing solar panels. 150 have died installing wind turbines on windmills.
Of course, that assessment depends on whether you use total distance travelled, or deaths per launch.
So is it 14 deaths for 537,114,016 miles travelled, 14 deaths for 833 total riders, or 14 deaths for 135 flights?
Next up a discussion of the safest vehicle ever - the Space Shuttle.
You are misleading with a bad analogy.
A Space Shuttle is used to get stuff to an orbit. So the correct metric is number of deaths per kg delivered to the given orbit. Trying to count it per mile travelled is completely stupid because travelling around Earth is not the goal of Space Shuttle.
On the other side, counting number of death per kWh is the correct metric in energy production area. The goal of a power plant is to produce energy. So we must count it per kWh.
Just the addition of shared_ptr is enough to claim all three improvements.
shared_ptr was in boost long before C++11. There are more important additions like type inference, lambda functions, strongly typed enums, rvalue reference, variadict templates.... just to name a few more relevant.
How could it be moderated insightful? That would lead to a random grading. It would be very noticeable especially for hard sciences. There are some cases when one may not agree with a grade but most of the time they are about right.
Statistics definitely is a branch of math. You are ridiculous. You made me respond even when I do not care much about climate change. But both sides sometimes can spit such a bullshit when talking about it. One side ignores models completely because they are sometimes wrong. The other side misleads about how expensive renewables are.
Documentaries I saw claimed that humans have significant anatomy advantage over neanderthals as for as throwing goes. Tha article tries to refute this argument of the previous studies:
Proposals that features of the upper limbs of different species of Homo indicate that throwing only comes into play with H. sapiens are hampered by multiple issues. These include small sample sizes, human variation in populations, evidence that humeral robusticity and shape may not correlate with strains in weapon use, and a lack of clarity whether any single activity contributes to or offsets bone remodeling or robusticity. Others argue for an earlier emergence of throwing, showing that features necessary for accurate and powerful throwing are evidenced in H. erectus fossils. A recent find of an early Neanderthal dating to MIS 7 from Tourville-la-Rivière shows skeletal trauma consistent with repeated throwing, supporting the hypothesis that they were capable and frequent throwers.
I'm curious what the result of the debate will be.
What happens when the AI chip in your brain gets compromised by a hacker?
That is easy to answer. The Hacker will control you. Either directly (if the hardware allows it) or indirectly by feeding you the properly adjusted information. The brute force information overload is a minor issue. It is like the virus pranks from the times of early internet. Current internet spread viruses are more subtle.
the [hevier] car can coast uphill further on its momentum
You need to review your physics book. How much a car will coast uphill does not depend on its mass. The rest of your claims may have some merit though.
It is easy to ramp up power of an electric motor and battery. Take off is easy for an electric plane. Endurance is a huge problem for an electric plane.
Why is this marked insightful? This has nothing to do with "browsers" or the "web".
It has a LOT to do with browsers and web. It has a lot to do with anything which runs a code downloaded somewhere from internet. Browsers with their java script engines are the first and the most easy target That is because the browsers run any java script from any hacked or malicious web site. Some email clients can interpret java script too. Disable java script in email client (if it executes it at all - most probably do not do it nowadays). Disable java script in browser or update the browser. It is recomended to use some ad blocker and preferably also something like uMatrix to limit the amount of malicious scripts your browser is running. This is a good idea not only because of Spectre/Meltdown.
In general, be careful about downloading and running executable (binaries) from web sources which you do not know to be reliable. But the point is that if you already do this then you have much more to worry about than Spectre and Meltdown. Spectre/Metldown are "only" information leaks. Running some random code from internet is potentially executing a malicious code directly. You need to care not only about Spectre/Meltdown but also about all the data accessible or modifiable to the account running the process as well as all the local privilege escalation bugs.
No, Linus is right. The performance impact of the patches is big.
If you have up to date browser then you do not have a problem. Resolution of timers available from scripts is lowered to make this attack infeasible.
If you are running executable from web then you have much bigger worry than spectre. The executable can damage you directly instead of trying to rely on a a "cooperation" of another process.
These bugs are mostly a serious worry for companies renting virtual machines where executables run in the images are by default hostile.
Several billion smartphones out there taking OTA updates all the time that hold valuable personal info and banking info, and not a single case of hijacking the OTA update process to compromise the device.
Your banking info is not as valuable to you than your life. There is a big difference when random internet hacker gets access to hundreds of mobile phones and investigates user data on them. Compare that to getting access to hundreds of cars and crashing them.
Those ad blocking detectors are another scripts. You can often block them with some decent selective script blocker, e.g. uMatrix etc. The site is often usable after blocking the ad blocking detectors. That may change in the future when they start to load useful content with the same script which shows the ad blocking notification too.
Heh, charge/discharge efficiency of nickel-iron battery is only 65% / 85%. Pumped hydro does better with its full cycle efficiency of 70% - 80%.
Pumped hydro has also bigger volumetric energy density if the reservoir height difference is bigger than 22 m (asymptotically with big enough reservoirs).
The batteries are also expensive. They cost around $4.5 - $20 per one litre. I guess you can build pumped storage cheaper per 1 litre.
It does not look good for batteries. Looks like the only good thing about them is the response time.
Often there is just as much time and effort to review code, of a complex application, then it would take a dev team to build an app customized to the actual business need, vs using a general purpose software.
You are way to optimistic about how much time it takes to develop a new application. You should have written: "Often times it is cheaper to review and adjust an existing application to your particular needs."
An air-plane needs its centre of mass at defined position (with some small error). The article claims the use of some kind of "vertical seats" to force passengers to stand at their specified position most of the time. It might work. We will see.
A good browser should have especially a good advertisement blocking.
And some other things like something for blocking scripts (like uMatrix) and something for tracking certificates for selected (e.g. banking) websites.

Get a draft C++ specification. The final versions are ISO standards and not available for free. But drafts are good enough.

The design si broken when you can work around it with "hundreds of lines of code".
Get Adblock and uMatrix and you will not see any BBC adds.

Eventually there will be no line. People will design their bodies whatever way they like it when the technology evolves enough.

NVidia is not an option if you need a longer term linux support.

EU's GDP ($20.98e12) is slightly lager than US's GDP ($19.39e12). Data from 2017. But otherwise your statements hold. It is all about the same.

I have got an email to take part in the poll. Not sure how they picked me up. I guess I used the email when communicating with them in the past.
They would not because expenses for moving out fo the property would cost them millions.
