Look at the chart of the current and future prices of electricity. The current prices per MWh are:
* coal $40
* wind $80
* solar $100
Though renewables are expected to bet cheaper than coal somewhere around 2030.
Once the DIMM packaged versions become available, thats when Optane will really start to take off - slightly slower than DRAM, but not much, but considerably cheaper than DRAM for the same capacity...
35 times bigger latencey of the current Optane memory when compared to DRAM is hardly "slightly" slower.
Look at the latency comparison table in the middle of this article.
We should deal with crisis in the order that they each threaten our extinction. Climate change is the first on the list in terms of immediacy. Later we can deal with other problems that are further out in time.
Are you kidding? What about nuclear weapons and starting wars here and there willy-nilly.
Coal is expensive in Slovakia too. Almost all of the other part of the "system fee" (which is not spent on subsidizing solar) is spent on subsidizing coal. Coal is better than solar but worse than nuclear based on the data in the invoice. The invoice states that 13% of electricity is from coal. The coal subsidy is smaller than half of the "system fee". Let's say it is 0.4 (just a guess to get some idea how it may look like, I only know for sure that it is less than half of the "system fee"). Therefore, based on the invoice, the coal subsidy compared to the nuclear subsidy is about (8.459*0.4/13) / (3.852/53) = 3.6 time bigger.
Anyway, the subsidized coal power plant is going to be shut down. That is good.
Well, thanks to the internet and Google, you found something which is not about electricity prices in Slovakia.
I already admitted that it can be different in other countries. Sun does not shine everywhere the same.
Well, without some additional data about energy subsidizes in Slovakia your claim can be also interpreted as:
In some countries, solar is one of the cheapest sources of energy
because of a political regulatory process and has little relationship to reality.
In other words, nobody really knows what is actually cheaper if sweeping claims like you posted are allowed.
Well, may be it is so in USA. But It is hard to argue against an invoice which has nicely written all the components of the final price and what the components are used for. I assume you want to indicate that the invoice is intentionally deceiving. Why would they do it? They can be held liable for false information on invoices.
As for as the wind energy, there is hardly any ground level wind in Slovakia. This is probably not true for other countries. Only 0.21% of all electricity is produced from wind.
I have one invoice here for electricity from Slovakia, EU.
It contains an item called system fee: 8.459 EUR per MWh of all delivered energy
It also contains an item called nuclear fund fee: 3.852 EUR per MWh of all the delivered energy
Most of the "system fee" is used to support solar power plants. Let's be generous to solar and let's say only half of the "system fee" is to support solar. Solar power plants produced 3.15% of all the delivered energy. Nuclear power plants produced 53% of all the delivered energy. Therefore the solar energy is at least (8.459*0.5/3.15) / (3.852/53) = 18.47 times more expensive than nuclear in Slovakia. I do not understand how people can claim solar is cheaper than nuclear when the invoice here indicates that the subsidy paid to solar is more than 18 times bigger than subsidy paid to nuclear per 1 kWh of the energy produced by given source.
Apple does not pay VAT. It merely collects it. End users pay VAT.
But otherwise you are right. Politicians create laws with holes intentionally to reward their "friends".
For reference, the max bandwidth of USB2.0 is 480mbit, or about 60MB/sec.
60MB/sec includes low level protocol overhead. You cannot achieve that number. The actual maximum theoretical transfer speed for useful data is 53 MB/s. This can be further limited by the used HW/SW. If you have really good HW/SW then you should achieve at least 43 MB/s.
But tabs I am not looking at, (by default) should use ZERO CPU. I get that I might launch several tabs quickly and want to allow them to load. So, allow some time for them to load, but then cut it to zero.
Give me the OPTION to change this behavior. Give me the OPTION to play music in background (either globally, or on a specific tab). And for gosh sake, SHOW ME how much CPU each tab is using (optionally). Then I will know to avoid the sites that are using my browser to bitcoin-mine.
This! I was reading this discussion to find out whether I need to post myself. You did it for me. Thanks:)
No freaking way should background tabs run scripts by default.
The man difference between a concept and an interface is in the time when the dispatching to some specific called code is resolved.
Concepts resolve the call during compile time. This can lead to binary code bloat since the calling code needs to be "cloned" for each called code.
Interfaces resolve the call during run time. It can reuse the caller code but imposes some call overhead (the run time dispatch).
And sometimes you just need the resolving in the run time. If it would not be available then one would be forced to simulate it... e.g. using dispatch (switch) on e.g. an alternative type (discriminated union). Well, or you could implement vtable manually if the language gives you enough power (pointer arithmetic) to do it.
Well they though that it is a spy drone to track Chinese submarines in the area. Therefore they took it and looked inside. They did not find the drone advanced enough for a detailed study or there was not enough evidence in the drone to support claim that it is designed to spy submarines. Blunder. The drone really can be claimed to be a research device and it is not very advanced. So they return it and try to cover their mistake by complaining that US went public about their stealing.
"China is very sensitive about unmanned underwater vehicles because they can track our nuclear ballistic missile submarines fleet," said retired Major General Xu Guangyu, a senior researcher at Beijing-based research group the China Arms Control and Disarmament Association. "If one from the Bowditch can be detected and even snatched by a Chinese naval ship, it shows it's getting too close to the sensitive water areas."
I do not have problems with AMD drivers (Win7, HD7970). Though I did not update them for a long time. But I never had the strange problems with AMD drivers people seem to report.
Net export is bigger from Germany than from US. Of course, because US is running a deficit. It has the biggest deficit in the world. About 4 times bigger than UK (the second deficit country).
Export value from US is bigger than from Germany by about 15%. The biggest export is from China. It is abut 42% bigger than from US. If EU could be considered as a single country then it would have about 5% bigger export than China.
People will work for as long as they can to compete with their peers
Do you realize that the pears we are going to compete with are going to be machines in the far future when machines will be more intelligent than pure non-enhanced people. Either people will merge with machines or use genetic engineering heavily to improve themselves to be competitive. There is one other option: pure non-enhanced people will finish like horses did. A small percent of them will survive for the fun of the productive machines (something along the lines like horses are useful in horseracing now).
Universal basic income is possible but I think it is not the most probable option. Why would intelligent productive machines feed all the humans which are unable to compete. I think the most probable option is enhanced humans being able to compete with pure machines. Either by merging with them (cyborgs or mind upload to a machine) or by heavy genetic engineering of humans (wetware).
An experienced glider pilot has one more vairometer to use - his own posterior. One can feel speed changes in it:)
Nope. As you say it, own own posterior is an accelerometer, measuring the speed changes, NOT a variiometer, measuring the speed i.e. the position change. You're one derivative wrong.
Right, one cannot integrate it in head for more than a second or few. I wanted to express it is good enough to detect where turbulent air region starts. And from the safety point of view, if you have enough height then it does not matter much whether you are raising or falling. The ground is still far away to have time to correct it before crashing. And near the ground you can even see it. It is important to know the speed so that one does not stall or cross Vne. But even if speed dial would break in some very unfortunate event... it is not all lost since near stall the plane starts to shake and the aerodynamic noise changes quite a bit with raising speed. So just keeping the plane in a comfortable noise level will make sure you are not going to cross Vne. Well this is true at least in low altitudes. May be in very thin air the aerodynamic noise is different enough to cause trouble. But I'm not trying to indicate one should fly without instruments.

On the other side, it will be also the time when managers will need to argue with their AIs about what to do. That can turn out to be kid of funny.
I'm looking forward when Microsoft uses this AI to code Windows OS. :)

In fact only 8% of the EU's exports (by value) go to the UK.
This is probably more correct than 1/6 (16.7%) mentioned before. In 2013, UK imports represented 9.7% of the exports of all other EU countries.
