Yeah, that's what they're saying over there in Fukishima. "Nuclear is cheap, but this uncertainty is killing us!"
When you begin counting the cost of nuclear, you've got to count ALL the costs. Including, as at Fukishima, basic engineering errors that ultimately cost astronomical amounts years after construction.
you mean the basic engineering error where the project manager wouldn't sign off due to the mistake made in concrete formulation so he was fired and a more lenient approver installed in his place?
brains are usually grey. if these people have white matter in their brains maybe we just add dark matter and mix it together becomes grey. brains are grey anyhow
Everyone has lazy and unproductive workers. Why should any worker give half a fuck about his company if he can clearly see that even the CEOs are trying their best to milk it for all it's worth and then move on to the next corporation to pump and dump?
There is no work ethic left. On no level of the work force. What I see today in our economy reminds me in a stunningly way of what went down in the former communist countries. Same shit. Same mismanagement with the same disillusioned workforce, with everyone trying his best to waste as little energy as possible doing work, knowing that if he put in more all that would be his reward is more workload shifted onto him. Mostly because it just doesn't friggin' matter whether you try to work hard or whether you slack. Your chances for promotion are zero, your chances to get fired are not influenced at all by how you work. So why bother with anything?
There is simply no identification with your workplace anymore, and no faith in the ones steering the company's course.
And bluntly, whether you think your politicians are greedy, selfish idiots with zero qualification for their job and no well being in their mind aside of their own, or whether you think your boss is like this, where exactly is the difference between public and private sector?
can you find a good reason to bother treating your employees well? what's to say they won't just do what you're doing right now?
If you think burning fossil fuels in an ICE at 25% efficiency is green, then keep on sending your money to the terrorists.... EVs emit less CO2 than ICE cars even if the electricity comes from dirty coal because there is much higher efficiency at all stages.
if by "much higher efficiency" you mean 40% vs 25%
then yes.
factor in transmission line losses (6%) and charging losses (10-20%)
right. but they don't seem interested in giving experience, they seem more interested in shoveling children around to fit their cart-before-the-horse assumption that development teams would be 50/50 guys/girls if there were no stereotypes.
that sort of shoveling is what confused me for so long-- lots of people I knew better than telling me they were an expert on what _I_ was feeling and experiencing, and discrediting _my_ subjective experience in order to fit _their_ agenda. They weren't bringing me any freedom.
if we can get women coding, the pool of applicants is much larger and we don't have to permit more H1-B visas to get that effect. Which is great for our financials.
which reminds me, I thought their motto was "do no evil"?
Design shit on an iPad and give it to the "boys" to knock out some C# modules to slurp back DB2 recordsets for your shitty app. You go girl.
it's more likely this will confuse girls into thinking it's cool and then them following it for a while, as opposed to actually organically developing an interest in it. My mother was telling me I liked things that weren't true until I was 27 and figured out "mom, I don't like that. why do you keep saying that I do? I'm the expert on me, not you." If a grownup had told me I actually wanted to play with Barbies, so I should play with Barbies, I would have gotten really confused because I trusted them to not lie to me, ever, because my parents didn't, and my parents didn't because they wanted a deeper relationship with me and lying gets in the way of that.
I'll also throw in that no amount of conditioning or marketing could have gotten me to play with Barbies. The DARTA race track set did stuff and went fast, I could build things with K'Nex that looked intrinsically 'neat' to me, and I had opportunities to play with Barbie and the immediate question the girls couldn't answer was "but what do you DO with them?" "dress up" "no that's TO them. what do I do WITH them after they're dressed?" (None of us knew about "taking clothes off" so that was out of the question...)
I know for a fact this was my personal interest not developed from stereotypes in commercials (the only shows I was allowed to watch were Winnie the Pooh and Mr. Roger's neighborhood and you know what kind of commercials played on PBS back then? yeah. those kind.) but agendites categorize me as "an outlier" and "most boys just like guns because movies and stuff" ignoring "but I can shoot something and knock it off the table from way over there and no one will know it's me". I never learned that in a movie, I saw it happen, and I was enthralled, not because a dude-friend did it, but because IT wascool.
I view the agendites as people who have compromised their pursuit of truth and replaced it with a pursuit of forcing boys and girls into situations that simply might not interest them. They do this to "average out" the chemical polarities of gender; what they should do is simply try to redefine the stereotype and remove the pressures to conform. Making girls do what these people consider to be 'boy things' removes pressures 15 years down the road. For example, removing the pressures would have allowed me to let the hot highschool girl decorate me with makeup every time I came over instead of once; but even that was simply that I needed a girlfriend to kiss and not some confused identity thing.
no, I studied electrical engineering at a school that's probably ranked much higher than yours, and advanced semiconductor fundamentals was my second favorite class, and embedded microcontroller design was my 3rd favorite class.
in addition if what these clowns said were worth listening to, I wouldn't achieve lower idle battery drain by setting a low max-screen-off-frequency.

crap

it is sooooo easy to bend that data when your job depends on funding for it.

his posts are the disgusting type that make me feel negative about life and oh by the way hate slashdot.
it's likely he's created multiple accounts in multiple browsers and cycles them so that he has mod points ready to go any time he wants them

those are really good points
drivetrain losses, that's a damn good point.
I support them because nuclear, even though it'll never happen
I support them for this reason, even though we'll never go to nuclear.

and it's not so much more efficient.
Lasers have over the horizon issues as they can't use ballistic trajectories. You aren't going to take out another ship at 100 miles with a laser
whatever dude they work great on my Red Alert simulations. I say go for it
I am ashamed this question would be asked

yes, I'm just saying the marketers and pedants claiming that TECHNICALLY it CAN save power, are overrated
because it brings in viewers which brings in advertisers which brings in revenue ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^^H NO CARRIER
the cues aren't for the people who will take the bate, they're for the people who wouldn't respond either way.
my job title is software engineer and I've written several drivers that have 100% up-time in multi-million dollar production deployments so...?

the fun of trolling is riding the line between legitimate and absurd. you can't tell with the best trolls. that's what makes them the most exciting
