"But... But Florida will be under water!" cry the anti-climate change zealots. I can live with that. There's nothing but retirees, crazies, and scientologists down there anyway.
Um, won't they all leave Florida and go to live near you...?
Actually, the Bible is the most studied book in history, a large number of experts of all stripes have tried to rip it apart.
It's junk. Many amateurs have successfully ripped it apart.
The truth is, we have enough of the old texts that it has been shown that the actual edits in the bible are minor. They do exist, but the core of it is there.
Rubbish. There's huge sections missing. How did we leap to Cain and Abel suddenly existing? Where did Satan come from? All edited out.
Jesus' childhood? Edited out because he was a bit of an asshole with his special powers.
Trying to keep a flat 400m2 panel stable in the strong winds up there doesn't seem realistic to me. And wireless transmission? Give me a break.
Something tied to a cable (which can also bring the power down to ground level) seems like a much cheaper, safer bet. I wonder why nobody's actually done it yet.
Yes the tech, especially today's designs, are safe.
They're still designed on the same principles as the bomb-making reactors of the 1950s. There's still a danger in a really really bad screw-up and they produce an awful lot of very nasty waste product (this is by design - they were meant for making bombs, remember).
We've got newer designs that are inherently safe (ie. they fail to a safe state) and don't produce all the bomb-making residues. Trouble is, governments want no part of funding the R&D costs these days and financing them through private investors makes them a hundred times more expensive (it's a long term project so they won't bother investing unless they get a return on their money 20 years from now which is a hundred times their initial investment).
Which part of not entering real information did you miss?
Unfortunately there's a couple of flaws in his plan: a) Facebook is busy asking other people things like: "Did you go to school with JohnVanVilet?" and they're all eagerly answering "Yes!!" b) They've figure out he lies so they're starting to 'confirm' every new account via. mobile phone.
Bad education and information are what causes democracy to unravel. Not high pay.
Not always. There's been a lot of CEOs lately who:
a) Take a working company b) Outsource it to India c) Fire all the workers (they call it "downsizing") d) Pay themselves a mega-bonus with all the money made in short-term cost savings e) Set themselves up a monstrous pension plan based on "projected earnings" (which will suck all the profit out of the company for years to come) f) Move to another company before it all comes crashing down in ruins
But it's not going to work in the US, where rapid growth is part of the ostensible "American Dream" -- which includes gobs of wealth.
"it's not going to work in the US because citizens won't ever get to vote on anything like that."
FTFY.
People will still be able to make "gobs of wealth" in Switzerland, it's just that the people lower down the chain have to make money, not just the CEO.
If Mariah carey had gone independent instead of being with Columbia or Virgin Records etc. she would have been able to retain all of the profits, instead of just 10-15% share of it.
10-15%? She got lucky.
Plenty of really, really big acts got NOTHING. Not one cent.
This is an industry that seriously believes that people like Peter Jackson shouldn't get paid for making The Lord Of The Rings.
Submitter is entirely ignorant of floating point issues in general. Other than the buzzword "cloud" this is no different from any other clueless question about numerical issues in computing. "Help me, I don't know anything about the problem, but I just realized it exists!"
Wrong.
In IEEE floating point math, "(a+b)+c" might not be the same as "a+(b+c)".
The exact results of a calculation can depend on how a compiler optimized the code. Change the compiler and all bets are off. Different versions of the same software can produce different results.
If you want the exact same results across all compilers you need to write your own math routines which guarantee the order of evaluation of expressions.
OTOH, operating system, hardware, firmware and hypervisors shouldn't make any difference if they're running the same code. IEEE math *is* deterministic.
Actually if charging is wireless then there's no reason to have any ports at all on a modern smartphone, allowing it to be hermetically sealed and thus waterproof.
...and only able to charge if you're at home or are carrying your special charger pad (plus wall-wart) around with you.
With Micro-B USB connectors the moving parts (spring contacts) are in the cable. It's designed so the cable wears out, not the socket. Replace the cable after your 10,000 connections and you're good.for another 10,000.

And ...with a simple wave of your hand you dismiss your responsibility to provide cites to back up your claim that "Wikipedia is not research"?
The republicans are more of a driving force behind the climate change denial movement than the Democrats.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_denial#Public_sector
In fact if you type "democrat climate change denial" into google you get articles about Republican climate change denial.
So...hardly "training" or "hatred". Just simple research.

If that's true and this is not a simple battery charging issue then it's grounds for a class action lawsuit against Tesla.
Fail.
BIC lighters can cause huge house fires but nobody's starting class action lawsuits because nothing is being denied or concealed.
a) Republicans?
b) Politicians being named in the film?
Yep.

A guy called "Tesla" had it all figured out way back in the 19th century.
But what if the power plant is run by incompetent Ukrainian communists, didn't think of that did you!
That problem has a known solution.
Oh for a mod point.
Gee, that sounds efficient. Not.

Nothing you do electronically is anonymous.
Worse: Anybody who can find out anything at all about you, will, and they'll sell that information to as many other people as they possibly can.

American CEOs usually make more money by wrecking the company for short-term gain rather than steering it towards long-term success.
The people who suffer are the people at the bottom who lose their jobs when the inevitable "downsize" comes.
This vote is a vote to break that destructive cycle not just a vote to hate on rich people.

We gave them an inch, and ... the results were as expected.

My car's rating is higher than the maximum rating allowed by the NHTSA.
I *love* just dropping it on the stand when I go to bed at night.
Do you love not being able to charge it anywhere *but* on the special stand?

USB cables work almost anywhere these days.
With Micro-B USB connectors the moving parts (spring contacts) are in the cable. It's designed so the cable wears out, not the socket. Replace the cable after your 10,000 connections and you're good.for another 10,000.

If the USB connector breaks, it's because you're a ham-fisted clod, not because it's badly designed.
The car could refuse to work if it doesn't receive a GPS signal that makes sense.
Like when you go into a tunnel.
That ^^ got modded "insightful"?
In that case I expect this will get modded "Makes Cowboy Neil look like a luser":
if (last_good_GPS_signal() == near_a_known_tunnel_entrance()) {
use_the_speedo_to_calculate_distance();
}
else {
use_the_GPS();
}
