According to Sovacool's analysis, nuclear power, at 66 gCO2e/kWh emissions is well below scrubbed coal-fired plants, which emit 960 gCO2e/kWh, and natural gas-fired plants, at 443 gCO2e/kWh. However, nuclear emits twice as much carbon as solar photovoltaic, at 32 gCO2e/kWh, and six times as much as onshore wind farms, at 10 gCO2e/kWh. "
I'm not aware of any law saying proxies are illegal in the UK. I doubt this man will be convicted, CPS (crown prosecution service who decide what goes to court) shouldn't advance this.
To specifically state on a proxy service that you can access sites blocked in the same country as that service is a little dim though.
I'd prefer a 100% nuclear powered grid (and electric trains and cars, nuclear powered ships, synfuels for the remaining transportation needs, ammonia from nuclear powered SSAS plants for fertilizer) over that renewable pipe dream.
Well then you are really going to hate the future because sooner or later it is going to be 100% renewable.
Two or three more decades of R&D and engineering are needed. No matter how much you wish otherwise this will not change. Even Denmark with its enthusiasm and pretty good wind conditions expects another 10 years to go from 30% wind to 50% wind,
So Denmark has 30% Wind power OR Two or three more decades of R&D and engineering are needed, WHICH is it?
Perhaps you should watch the video the other poster posted, THAT is informative.
Tried googling, couldn't find anything much other than job adverts.
How many professional drivers are there in the UK or US? Including bus, taxi, cab, private mini bus, postal, delivery and haulage? My guess would be 500,000 to a 1,000,000 in the UK alone.
That's a lot of jobs that could be lost to autonomous driving.
Except you usually get one of those fancy toys for your money. I backed a rear-light with integrated bike-cam on Kickstarter and the product I got was well worth the money.
If someones giving money to Kickstarter to make fancy toys that other people will buy and the creators will profit from but then don't get one of those toys then either they're unbelievable stupid, vastly wealthy or somewhere inbetween.
I think what matters is how many people are killed. The page you linked stated that per 100,000 people 3.5 UK people are killed and 11.6 US people are killed meaning for the average person US is over 3 times more dangerous. That's a long way behind.
Any combination of: A) The article is wrong. B) Verizon are also throttling Netflix - which would most likely happen one or two hops from your gateway. C) The VPN causes your packets to exit Verizon's network at a different location which has better connectivity. D) The VPN provider has a SLA with Verizon so they send the packets along a less congested route.
I'm an environmentalist, and I agree, there are a lot of people who say they care about the environment but if you suggest any lifestyle changes they immediately dismiss the idea without accepting that supporting the environment might mean some small compromises. Like a person who owned 10ish properties but wouldn't buy an environmentally cleaning product because of the price is a bit more.
You ask a person with a large SUV is they 'support the environment'.
A previous story says rather than actively throttling the connections, the bottleneck is the lack of an extra cable between 2 cabinets - Verizon's and the peering providers. The peering provider even offered to buy and install the cable for free!
Why? It's saves the ISP massive amounts of bandwidth, I'm sure that saving hugely outweighs the cost of electricity for a few hard drives and a network cable. (yes, and the occasional HDD swap).
If the start point of your VPN is not the VPN server IP address then your VPN is not working. Or your VPN exits within the same network as it starts which could render it pointless.
No, the traceroute wouldn't show the hops between your PC and the VPN server, so that part of path could not be compared. So the point the VPN packets leave the ISP network also couldn't be compared.
You could probably compare an unencrypted proxy with a direct route to Netflix.
It's worse than that it's like asking someone how far the bus stop is and the person answering 10mph.
I can't help but notice that the lack of any meaningful measurements was used by several slashdotters to say the radiation was low and then several modders conveniently overlooked the fact that their math made no sense whatsoever and modded them up because the message is pro-nuclear.
Why? 99.99% of users will not use the development parts of Firefox which will no doubt bloat it up massively, introduce vulnerabilities and slow the browser down.
If you want to create some kind of web development suit then fine, do that, but don't stick it in Firefox FFS.

I don't think they even included uranium processing costs.

They obviously left several stages out of their calculations.

So you think all of the radioactive crap that got dumped into the ocean is going to be magically dispersed evenly throughout the globes oceans?
Or more likely it's going to bugger up seafood local to japan for decades to come.

Indeed, it'll probably be $16.16b by the time they're finished.

Let's face it, no-one knows where to put nuclear waste and that doesn't look like it'll change anytime soon.

The number you quote is enough to power all global energy requirements including replacing oil, gas and coal etc.
The images on this page show that solar can power the world perhaps 50+ times over

And wind can also power the world exclusively:

Well done to timothy for replacing blog link with actual news article link in summary.
Online voting can not be fixed... or do you mean fix it as in stand as a candidate and rig the vote.
Paper ballots is not a broken system and does not need to be replaced.

Because they don't seek to make a profit? because a charitable thing to do is create computer heat-sinks for the poor abused computers???
Seriously what the fuck are they doing asking for 'donations'.
Per-orders, fair enough, but donations should go to good causes, not £%^£"$£%^ing fancy PC heat-sinks.

The fix was actually a couple of network cards + cable, which Level 3 offered to sort out.

You obviously missed the article where Netflix supplies a tower-pc sized box with all of netflix on it to ISPs for free:
