What do you mean by "promote a regressive religion"? Which religion is that? And which religion is responsible for which deaths? Any ideology and religion can be used to promote murder. Regardless of the real content of the ideology and religion. Examples are Socialism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Patriotism, and Liberalism. While Socialism aims to give workers/employees control over the companies they work in (so there is private property, but its distribution is different) and they decide democratically over what to do also considering minority rights. However, the true implementation was quite the opposite. In Christianity, the key element is peace and forgiveness, help others even if they are your enemies, in short be nice to each other. Unfortunately, people have burned books (just recently) in the name of Christianity, they waged war, burnt people etc. Islam is also a peace loving religion (it literally means peace). they even have rules to be nice to other religions. However, reality is quite different. They even massacre other Muslims for being not faithful enough or following the wrong teachings. Buddhism is a religion people associate with peace and mindfulness, but in Myanmar they use the religion to sanction murder of minorities (not very Buddhist). Same shit with Liberalism. Usually it should give everyone freedom as long as the freedom of others is not in conflict. In the epoch of enlightenment, western society came up with three elements: Freedom (Liberty), fraternity, egality. They only work together. If you choose one other the other, it will end in some sort of tyranny. Total liberty also called libertarian ends up in fascism as it negates egality.
I would never go to such frivolous place which sells bad coffee. I'd rather have a real milk+coffee mixture without 100 toppings. Toppings is something for pizza not coffee. Such places are for people who do not need to make any decisions at their workplace. They get some sense of having their life in control from answering 10 questions before they get their coffee.
Anyway, I do not understand what you mean by "those people". Jar-Jar or Jabba the Hutt? Or do you refer to the US government?
Trump - the Emperor Pence - the Emperor's left hand and a religious fundamentalist => no religious freedom Scott Pruitt - EPA dismantling agent => no healthy environment and no protection from dangerous and harmful substances in our food and water Ajit Pai - FCC dismantling agent => no net neutrality => no freedom in communication and information Steven T. Mnuchin - Give it to the rich => no state, no security
This is not drain the swamp of corruption. This is more like drain all remaining habitats and screw the population so they sit all in a dessert.
Jar-Jar was a mess, but he worked for the good guys. While Ajit Pai works for the dark side or Jabba the Hutt. I am not so sure which. It also might be Spaceballs. They polluted their home planet, sniff perri air, and try to steal the atmosphere of another planet.
Ehm no. Renewables are quite reliable. That might be in contradiction to your world view, but fortunately reality is different. However, molten salt nuclear reactors are decades away from any real application and they still have this nasty recycling problem.
Siemens and GE are for profit corporations. If they see a demand in an area they will invest and expand business there. However, business for these large turbines is going down. This includes steam and gas turbines. Therefore, they reduce capacity. Maybe they keep some, for instance for solar therm plants.
We have all day an overcapacity. That is why we sell more electricity to our neighbors than they sell to us. The cause for the high price for consumers is solely based on the fact that wind and solar power get an more or less guaranteed minimum price for electricity which was well below electricity cost in the past. Unfortunately, the big coal plants did not go offline. Therefore, we have a massive overcapacity, which ruins the price, which should make it actually cheaper for the end user, but that end user has to support the guaranteed minimum price. Therefore, the price should be stable. However, for some strange reasons only the little people and companies which do not use a lot of electricity have to come up with the compensation while high energy consumers can enjoy the lowest electricity prices in history. Therefore, average Joe has to pay more.
Even a Fat Man needs electric components to trigger the initial explosion to trigger the bomb. However, the best thing would be to try diplomacy. Not Trump the lets pour oil in the fire diplomacy, real diplomacy is needed.
The market is shrinking. Like GE, Siemens, a major competitor of GE, is also reducing their engagement. In addition Siemens is also reducing steam turbine capacities, as turbines for coal and nuclear plants are in less demand.
They really have less orders for turbines just like Siemens. The market is shrinking because less new coal and gas power plants are build than anticipated.
The US is the second biggest polluter with only 350 mio inhabitants. Why do you think you do not need to contribute? We all have to get CO2 neutral this includes the Chinese. While they do a lot in that direction. The USA does not and the same applies to the EU. They could do much more. Especially Germany.
However, if we do nothing, we will reach the point of no return in 2030. It is time to act. However, western politicians are afraid some industry could suffer and the citizens could get angry, because they told them that they do not have to change. Things will fix themselves. Anyway, who cares? D. Trump works towards a new world war.
If the earth would be flat than we would have sunrise for all at the same time. Or no sunrise at all (in the spotlight model). Furthermore, you can test the earth curvature when looking over the ocean. Do this from high enough altitude, use your best telescope and then try to see the Eifel tower from New York. Also you can follow ships and when the water is cold you can see that the first thing to go on any ship is the lower parts and the chimney/sail can be seen for a longer time.
There is also another experiment. Have a friend who lives south or north (1000 km at least) of your place. Build two tables and insert into this a stick upright. Then place one table at your home and one at his home. The table must be perfectly horizontal. Now you collect for half a year from highest to lowest position of the sun the angle between the sun and the surface. You can do this by measuring the length of the shadow and calculating the arc with acos((l_shadow + l_stick - sqrt(l_shadow + l_stick))/( 2 * l_shadow * l_stick)). With the two angles and the distance between you and your friend, you can calculate the distance of the sun in your flat earth model and subsequently its heights above the surface. According to flat earth idea, it should be always at approx. 4000 something km.
Also you can make this experiment as follows. Use a friend east of you (the farer away the better). Every day you see a sunrise, you write down the angle between ground and sun. And at the same time your friend takes a measurement (call him and synchronize your efforts). On a flat earth you should experience sunrise at the same time. On a spherical earth this will happen at different points in time. Anyway, for your flat model, the height of the sun should be the same.
Since when are Trump lovers a race? Just because they are mainly white does not make it racist. If someone would connect race to stupidity then it would be racist. However, in the previous post the reference to men and white where only descriptive. Anyway, I do believe that this reductionist view of Trump followers is of any use, as it does not provide any insights into the motivation of these people. Where I agree with you is that part of the present mess is the huge inequality in western societies and especially the us. Furthermore, the huge transformative forces of globalization change the live of many people without their consent. So they are not actively engaged in the change but changed by it. No one wants that. Unfortunately, we move towards a feudalistic system or oligarchic system. The people did not want that. Therefore, they voted Trump, who in turn is also just one more oligarch. In addition, he is also incompetent.
It is always helpful to introduce abbreviations before use, e.g., General Certificate in Secondary Education (GCSE). If your audience includes people from difference contexts, e.g., countries, cultures, continents, please provide the necessary context. For example, secondary education inside the Bologna zone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bologna_Process) which includes many countries in Europe, secondary education may refer to master degrees, whereas in the EU education framework primary = primary school (up until 4th/6th grade), secondary = high school/gymnasium/grammar school/secondary school/access to universities and tertiary = university education. This is especially required with this topic, as student in the US and UK may refer to school children and university students, whereas in, e.g., Germany there are different terms for both groups (Schüler/Student like schooler/student).
In short: express abbreviations before first use, explain abbreviations, provide context for your audience.
Has Elon Musk the cure for the common cold? Can Elon Musk walk on water? Was Elon Musks mother a virgin? Has Elon Musk invented vacuum tube maglev vehicles?
MS moved its base in Germany to Munich. Subsequently, Munich had a new election for the city council. Surprisingly, the new major decided that Linux does not work and that there are too many security restrictions with Linux. This is what effective lobbying can do for you. Still other cities and towns go in the the other direction.
Actually no. Antifa in the EU mainly target fascists. Therefore, they are not more than an annoyance and can usually be ignored. I do not know what you mean be SJW, but if you refer to people who fight for the protection of human rights, then we like human rights. That was once a thing in the US. If it is not, you will have less visitors. For the rest, I haven't heard of them that much in the media. However, we hear about mass shootings every other week, mental ill people locked up in prisons, hate crimes against people who do not look white or wear the "wrong" stuff.
The text says international students hesitate to go to the USA, which reduces the number of international MBA students. I can understand that. In the present condition of the US, I am hesitant to go there. On a conference this summer in Gothenburg (Sweden), a lot of the attendees decided to not submit papers to the conference when it will be in the US and skip for another conference located outside. This is mainly due to the harassment at the border and the potential unfriendliness of locals. Even if the last thing is nonsense, people feel that way based on TV images.
While most students look down on the business students (in Germany), all (almost) the business guys get a job after 1/2 a year. Yes the situation is better in computer science, where you can choose what you want to do after graduating. Still if there would be a shortage in engineers, we would have higher entry level income in CS, but it is growing slowly. Also tuition free universities are there to allow people to study what they want regardless of their income or their parents income. Also education is a human right. We do this to fight inequality in Germany. And before I forget, having people in CS who would otherwise decided to go for an MBA is a bad idea. Those people (you described) do not have the necessary skills to get into CS. In CS there are no entry restrictions in Germany, still we cannot fill all seats and after 3 or 4 years only half of the people who entered graduate. The rest just do not have any kind of frustration tolerance (which is in high demand in CS). In our university, almost a third fail in software engineering (how to program in a team, use git, plan a project, etc.) which is really easy and is the stuff you really need. So please do not send the business fraggles our way. Thanks.
Absolutely. If you read their article, they downplay their claim "is eating software" to hey it has applications in data processing. Yes! What else is new? Most of these things which sail under "deep learning" now, have been available for decades and they have been used for decades for all sorts of things. All the deep learning stuff is there to classify data transforming it into information. And they still have the same issues than before, but with some more software and more processing power, we can handle this better now than then. You still need rule-based systems to check if the classification results make any sense in your model.

All other EU countries + the 16 federal states of Germany should follow.

I hope the nightmare will be over in three years.

They cannot be illegal aliens, as they have not yet migrated to any country. The ISS is in a sense exterritorial.
