I don't know how this got so bad on facebook. Problems for sure are the filter bubble effect due to peers. From my experience the worst were the recommended news though, which always came from totally unreliable sources. I don't know anyone who recommended such rubbish personally. The quality seems slightly better now, but more importantly I only get articles on non-political topics now.
(Seriously, nobody is going to run legacy Windows code on a smartphone)
Wait, that sounds like a great idea to me. Why not run all our windows apps and games on a smartphone? There are still things that haven't been ported. Sure, it is not good for regular use. But if I could for example quickly check something in a Visual Studio project or make a small edit to an image in Photoshop on my phone it would be really great.
For all that it's really cool, Falcon 9 Heavy might have been a mistake. And this is from someone who went to the launch and paid $200 for the good tickets. It cost them a great deal to get working, and is destined to be supersceded by their next rocket. We might not see that many of them ever fly.
Also, the Falcon Heavy is already much more efficient than the Falcon 9. And the BFR is a completely new design, with much more risks and time needed to develop it. Relying fully on the BFR without an intermediate step would be much more risky.
I thought the plan is that we keep the daily ryth everywhere as it is, and just change the clocks. So we go to bed at 10am at the opposite of the globe.
If you work with inernational partners you still need to know their working hours. But you don't need to google anymore what they mean when they say that they work from 9pm.
It is also an especially quiet band in space with low noise, because water molecules in interstelar gas absorb these.
Makes me wonder though if someone would really use this for communication. If it is absorbed it weakens the signal sent. The absorption only helps if the sender, receiver and the way in between are not absorbing.
The wood is just heated to 100C. That's nothing. Iron ore is heated to 1350C, aluminium ore to 1200C.
And sodium hydroxide turns into salt and water if you add hydrochloric acid. So it is also pretty harmless.
I think that's what this is about - making multiple telescopes work together. To get a high resolution from that the light has to interfere. The more accurate ths interference is controlled, the more accurate the image can be.
p.s. Do you know who is behind the anti-diesel movement in the US?
In Germany nearly all news reports on this come from "Deutsche Umwelthilfe", which is an NGO financed by Toyota.
There is only one way to achieve that efficiency with a combustion engine, or any thermal engine: Increase the operating temperature and the expansion ratio.
So they will need:
- a material that withstands the higher temperatures
- a fuel that does not ignite on its own. Are you sure they are using gasoline and not diesel?
- a way to manage the nitric oxides that form at these high temperatures - the same problem that efficient diesel engines run in
"Yet it is totally stable just due to backup power plants, which produce more electricity than is consumed."
That they pay neighboring countries to take off their hands. Countries whose power plant owners are not amused about that fact.
No, that's a different issue. Yes, lots of electricity is sold abroad. Germany is pretty much using the whole EU to buffer its network. But the network providers always must have a few GW of backup power capacity, which is only used if there are any issues.
That's the price chart of Germany of last week. The red and blue curve and the right scale. It doesn't go much over 50€/MWh:

I guess the difference is just that Germany has more reserve power plants. I thought this is the obvious conclusion of this "non-comparable" comparison.
The peak electricity price at the German exchange was 135€/MWh. How do they come to 14,000 AU$?
The German network manages a large load of solar and wind power. Yet it is totally stable just due to backup power plants, which produce more electricity than is consumed.

Yes. What we read in this article is: Google believes that AMD is vulnerable, but they could not prove it. What we don't read here is: AMD says they are not vulnerable.
You can find this information at the end of the article:
At the time of writing, Google believes that "every Intel processor which implements out-of-order execution is potentially affected, which is effectively every processor since 1995 (except Intel Itanium and Intel Atom before 2013)" is affected by Meltdown.
Google says it verified Meltdown only against Intel CPUs, but not ARM and AMD. Nonetheless, Intel has a market share of than 80% on desktops and more than 90% on the laptop and server markets, meaning that a large number of desktops, laptops, and servers are affected.
Dynes and Gauss are not part of the SI system, that's the old cgs system.
Torr also aren't part of the SI system.
eV is used in science, but it is neither an SI or metric unit.
They can start from Scotland, to the North:)
It is one of the most Northern locations with not too much freezing, so this could actually be pretty good. Though I don't know how difficult the legal and customs aspects are.
Ok that makes sense. Although I would think a location closer to a pole would be more suitable, if you have a location just for polar launches, since the rockets would get less prograde momentum from there.
Making it all look like Kerbal Space Program?
This would be really funny. But it is also interesting if it is an Asparagus configuration, as it was planned earlier.

Though this would mean that we have to go to bed while the sun is shining. I think that also doesn't work so well with the circadian rhythm.

Why build a thiry meter telescope, while the EU is already building its 39.3m Extremely Large Telescope?
I think that's what this is about - making multiple telescopes work together. To get a high resolution from that the light has to interfere. The more accurate ths interference is controlled, the more accurate the image can be.

On the other side, I generally did not notice download links for the two. I saw lots of illegal content on Youtube though, which is quite comparable.
Though I didn't see a warez download link for Dropbox or OneDrive yet

That's the wrong direction, did it launch retrograde?
