Uhh, even in dead of winter, Southern California routinely hits photon flux levels of ~2000 umol/m^2/s-1. I should know, I live here, I design solar systems and farms out here, and I'm constantly using a pyranometer every day.
The 2,000 umol/m^2/s-1 standard was measured in KANSAS. Guess where that is on a map.

Where are you getting your information from? Walk away from that source forever, because you're being given a lot of wrong information.
Uhh, you do know there are these things called implants, right? They cut your skin open a tiny bit, drop a titanium anchor in there, and let it heal a bit, then screw in another titanium jewelry piece.
Straight up serial publisher, is what it sounds like he is. Definite case of quantity over quality. Not surprised he got caught up.
Now go look at the product that was reviewed and cost the guy his job - http://rocalabs.com/
Seeing the word Nutraceutical is a dead-giveaway.
"Can we all work in your fantasy world?"
You guys can't even understand the mechanisms of photosynthesis enough to be able to bypass it entirely like I do in some plant species (and then get on the BBC for it.) You need a better understanding of science to get here. See you in 50 years.
Uh, no, not broken. I still do it all the time to freak the unwary right out. Drop a cold beer in the microwave for 4 minutes. It's only a few degrees hotter than before it was put in. Measured with contact and IR thermometer. You'd eed to nuke it for a long time to get a can to blow.
Also, you can't use a bottle because the cap has jagged areas. That area will just start sparking like mad until you blow the top of the bottle right off.
"Is losing a $350,000 job offer something you consider trivial?"
Considering *I* have the intelligence and education to obtain another equally-paying job, yup, really fucking trivial. Especially if I can prove I wasn't munging the experimental reports and data.
Real scientists wouldn't care about a tenured position, because they could find one with equal pay rather easily. Real scientists would be welcomed just about anywhere as long as they were REPUTABLE.
The fact this guy got canned over a huge peer-review process which pointed out several unexpected things that should not have been is a giveaway and testament to the poor quality of the work from this scientist.
I want to know which reviewed papers brought this about. I'm genuinely curious to see if I spot the exact same thing every other peer-reviewer has seen.
" Given solar panels somewhere between 10-15% efficient"
What decade are you from, out of curiosity? Currently, we're pushing ~40% in top end photovoltaics ~35% in midrange/prosumer, lowly consumer stuff bought off Alibaba easily reaches 25%, and LEDs are well over 70% efficiency in monochromatic ranges (depending, blue is far more efficient than red in terms of input power/output power) which is how we're able to get 5150K 300+ lux/w white LEDs using a blue base.
"You're a fucking moron and you don't understand how microwaves operate."
Says the idiot that obviously didn't pay attention to my post, the inside of the microwave is SOLID STEEL and there's a fucking EXPOSED NICHROME METAL GRILL ELEMENT IN THE TOP.
AND IT DOES FUCKING *NOTHING*
I microwave my ramen in a steel bowl. EVERY SINGLE DAY.
It's like you don't understand how the fuck a faraday cage works.
"question of how much power does it take to make an LED light visible during the day"
Considering the sun is ~93 lumens per watt and we've got LEDs now pushing 300+ lumens per watt, not very much power, at all. One watt will put any LED brighter than even the glare on the glass.
Try again. Don't put anything with ARC-CAPABLE POINTS in a microwave. Rounded-edge steel containers (like metal bowls and cans) are typically fine to use in a microwave.
I've got a *HUGE* nichrome heating element inside my Microwave (it's a combo microwave/broiler.) That element is exposed at all times. Shit doesn't go sparking like mad or blowing up when I use the microwave.
It is a great fucking company. I use it for sourcing all kinds of things. The biggest problem is that their clients quite often have a poor grasp of English. Example, I'm currently looking for a small fan. I need it to ATTACH to a T8 LED and maintain roughly the same profile.
All I get are either quotes for 80mm computer fans, or T8 LED tubes. I even include a picture of the device I have in operation, with a rigged 80mm fan and plastic ducting strapped to the end of the T8 LED tube. It's like they ignore the picture, ignore everything, and only focus on key words. This leads to some of the shittiest customer service I've ever received. I want a fan, not a light. I already have the light, can't you see in the picture?
There are some foreign companies on there with excellent English skills. Those almost always get my business because the transaction and sourcing experience is so much easier.
If Alibaba could fix that one glaring issue, they'll be eating everyone's lunch.
You keep hearing about it in the news, Apple claims to do something to fix it, and more often than not it's the exact same company in the news again for illegal labor practices.
Apple is able to build their own stuff by buying machines with money saved by utilizing illegal labor.
Let's not sugar coat this bullshit any more than it needs it, okay Slashdot?

Yea, source? I'm calling bullshit.

Where are you getting your information from? Walk away from that source forever, because you're being given a lot of wrong information.
"The cheapest thing with solar is massive massive land area at like 8-15% efficiency"
Where have you been, in a cave? We've got regular consumer PV pushing ~35% and have had it for several years. Commercial PV is hitting near 40%.
"The maximum amount of solar irradiation hitting the planet is 1kW/square meter"
I love how you go ranting about kilowatt-hour and then fail to utilize it in a statement where it matters most.
"Nuclear has the energy density plus it does require the fanciest of fancy things you can throw at it"
You can build a thorium reactor in your basement without the fanciest of fancy things. That's one of its allures.
I do this for a living. I can't even begin to tell you how out of date and wrong your information is.
"otherwise a .22 won't penetrate the human skull."
Tell that to my 1300 FPS .22 Benjamin breach loader. A PELLET RIFLE.
I used to take deer down with it. Their skulls are a ton thicker than a human skull.
I smell wannabe gun nut. Go back to /k/ where you belong.
Your 'high end' pellet rifle isn't so high-end.
One-pump Benjamin .22 breach loaded, steel pellet. Blows a hole straight through a 4x4.
Requires you to literally break the gun over your knee because of the massive compression chamber.
Made in the 80s, when pellet rifles were sometimes more powerful than actual rifles.
Uhh, you do know there are these things called implants, right? They cut your skin open a tiny bit, drop a titanium anchor in there, and let it heal a bit, then screw in another titanium jewelry piece.
Still a piercing as skin was pierced.
I saw the video. Your chosen source shows no continuous shots, never shows the display time on the microwave, nothing.
They could've left that in there for hours on end and used video editing to make it look like it happened quickly.
Pick a better video. Every video I've seen has HEAVY editing. Mine does not, and thus it becomes the better source.
SapphireGlass would NOT have mitigated this problem as the structural defect is in the edges, not the broad plane.
Note, half of the phones listed are APPLE phones.
My ZTE score, made of the shittiest ABS on the planet, won't even fucking bend. It's 6.5mm thick. The iPhone 5S is THICKER (7.6mm) and still bends.
Go shill elsewhere.
"Although they might be able to replace the current aluminum chassis with titanium. That could make the phones strong enough, but way more expensive."
Titanium is cheap. Every piercing on my body is titanium, some almost the size of full medical implants (and in fact, including one femoral implant.)
"Linux noobs generally do NOT use Debian.
They start with ubuntu or some of it's derivative like Mint."
EVERYTHING YOU JUST MENTIONED IS FUCKING DEBIAN-BASED.
Which means almost EVERY n00b uses Debian in some flavor.
Try again when you actually understand which distros are based from other distros.
"Clearly you've never used OS X for any amount of time to make such a ridiculous claim."
Okay, then I'll make the fucking claim with over a decade of OSX and Debian experience.
They're similar enough to make Unity familiar to anyone that uses an Apple computer.
But look at the linux zealot, who has VERY OBVIOUSLY never worked on a Mac before.
Now shut your mouth, child. Adults are speaking.
Sayeth the idiot that doesn't know YellowStone Art Museum has a road and parking lot SOLID GLASS.
But hey, a ten second google search would've ensured you wouldn't have opened your fucking mouth to make yourself look like a moron.

It's like you don't understand how the fuck a faraday cage works.
Glass does not really stop microwave radiation. If it did, cell phones would not work inside buildings.
Now go try that same thing with a metal can, or leaded glass.
In case YOU missed a physics class, that's essentially a shielded container.
We did this in high school physics, BTW.
"question of how much power does it take to make an LED light visible during the day"

" call me when this "glass" can last 2 winters in northern Michigan, Wisconsin, or Minnesota."
It's existed for about 50 fucking years, made by Corning. It was made in YOUR TIME and you don't even know about it?
Jesus.
