    NASA article The speed is relative to the Fermi Satellite. The distance was measured between the center of the supernova cloud and its current position at 53 light-years. The supernova responsible for CTB 1 occurred about 10,000 years ago. 53 light years / ~10000 years ~= 5 720 040.1 kilometers per hour.

    Lead cooled fast reactors generally fission their fuel to a much greater extent than pressurized water reactors and have a higher operating temperature than molten salt reactors. Also, among the 100 most populous U.S. cities 26 have a nuclear plant within 50 miles and it seems preferable to have them over coal. Additionally, the term "district" heating may or may not be appropriate such as when the use is limited to the property of a single company.

    More than half of the generated energy is wasted to heating the environment in order to cool the reactor. Imagine if it were used to heat homes instead. New York City has the correct design by using steam lines to transfer the heat from the power plant to heat buildings instead of using electricity or natural gas lines that are just as if not more risky than steam lines.

  10. The criminals and profits in Russia are not seizable and given the public prosecution will likely never appear in an extraditable country. If the feds were serious, then they should have fixed the problem at the SEC and arrested and seized the criminals under sealed court orders and only announce the case details after that was complete. The SEC has not learned the lesson and does not need to continue to have a database with the Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and other personal details of all traders that is just waiting to be abused.

  11. Will get nothing from this and continue to bear the cost of public price discovery except for the institutional traders that do not use the public exchanges.

    Intent is a critical component of deciding justice. No intent to cause harm with speeding and drunk driving. Firing into a crowd of people and attempted murder imply intent to harm.

    The "difference in acceleration" of one part of the body relative to other [body] parts would be measured as jerk, but that jerk so defined is rarely correlated with injury in auto accidents, rather the jerk measured relative to body [parts] and the vehicle. Ergo, arms are not usually broken by hitting other arms, but rather the vehicle's dashboard or windshield, which are harder. It was never said that jerk is the "cause" of mortality or injury. Jerk applied uniformly across a body mass is most certainly a better predictor of injury and mortality than acceleration so applied. The amount of jerk experienced by drivers is controlled by the drivers unlike the acceleration experienced from the fundamental forces. Magnitude certainly matters and the net magnitude matters even more.

    "speed" has never killed. We are all "speed"ing around the sun at about 67,000 mph. The change in the change of velocity is much more critical to predicting survival for individuals in auto accidents. The technical term is "jerk". This is different from [de|a]cceleration. We are all accelerating toward the center of the earth at 9.8 m/s^2, which is about a 21.922 mph or 35.28 kmph change per second. Note that the record for highest G-force on a roller coaster is 6.3G, which occurred for a few seconds and is about 138 mph per second. The maximum pressure on different parts of an individuals body is even more predictive of mortality and injury thus the use of test dummies.

    How ironic that the company selling "machine learning" hardware is unable to use it themselves to prevent a bubble.

  20. Use steel reinforced concrete for shielding just like all existing production plants. The bigger issue is that Bill Gates is not taking the lead and using it as the coolant with the designs promoted by Terrapower.

  21. Anyone who reads and understands the Paris Agreement realizes that being a signatory does not imply a requirement to phase out all coal plants, but it does require that

    something [is done] about [the] problem.

    Germany does still have plenty coal, is turning off nuclear plants before shutting down the coal plants, and does have the largest installation of solar PV in Europe. I would argue that none of those are consistent with the aim of "Making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development" of the Paris Climate Accords, but the investments in electrical transmission infrastructure and wind are. Spain is in the EU. Would it not be have been a better use of capital to instead of installing the solar in Germany to instead have put the solar PV in the south of Spain? There are just as many if not more rooftops in the south of Spain that would benefit from solar. The Netherlands does have and is likely the most exemplar case of having a plan, which it should given the whole below-sea level land issue. The Netherlands has banned the sale of petrol and diesel powered vehicles by 2030. Electric trains running on the Dutch national rail network are already entirely powered by wind energy. The House of Representatives of the Netherlands passed a bill in June 2018 mandating that by 2050 the Netherlands will cut its 1990 greenhouse-gas emissions level by 95%—exceeding the Paris Agreement goals. Increased demand will very likely lead to increased supply, but that additional supply capacity is not free. It has to be added into the cost of each unit sold in order to pay for it.

  22. Are you seriously nuts? Here's a country that actually wants to do something about a problem that far too many countries are still ignoring

    Of the 206 sovereign states, 195 are signatories and 184 are parties to the Paris Climate Accord. "Far too many" countries is then 32 out of 206 countries. Seriously?

    and you complain that France is the one hurting the world?

    The demand for electricity is nearly inelastic. The French mandate will only causing more heavy metal and other pollutants from coal and other fossils fuels to be released in other parts of the world due to the increased global price and lower supply of solar panels along with lower solar effective capacity caused by their purchase and installation in France compared to higher average solar irradiation installation locations.
