And considerably more powerful than a rpi B or zero, which are plenty sufficient for a great number of computing tasks, including state of the art engineering design work, scientific analysis, publication, etc.....
look at this funny guy over here. He gets upset that a study about wages reports income inequality among racial groups. To him this is a "Random reminders of racism, often of dubious intellectual merit, randomly injected into articles not about racism. " and becomes the basis for some hilarious screed. Lol.
Yeah, for the 20 million people who gained coverage, that seems to be an apt description. But as someone who can live lavishly on only a third of his income, I guess lowering my premiums or giving me a tax break is cool too.
No, no, when elite over educated liberals travel and interact with the world, they lose touch with "real America." Instead they chose to live in that closed off bubble that is the rest of the world...
Late 70s may be the bottom half of the distribution, friend. It amazes me that even on a technology forum people will use anecdotes to poke holes in ostensibly scientific results.
a preposterous hypothesis for anyone that has even a passing familiarity at mortality figures. random violence isn't a significant health concern anywhere in the US, even southside chicago. Unless perhaps you include accidental rural gun deaths.
Excellent example.
For fun, I track all insurance spending and compare it to that amount that would sit in my index funds. I am only 32, but, minus claims, I would have $104,000+ sitting in an account right now from car, home, and medical insurance. It would be significantly more because, approximately 65% of that could have been tax advantaged. That is after subtracting my single ~28K medical claim, which, funny enough, may have killed me without 5 minute access to a level 1 trauma center.
I am sure rural clinics and hospitals are staffed by the highest quality personnel, not the overly educated liberal types with too much worldly experience, either.
I hate it when stupid scientists do theoretical work, or these ghastly numerical computations. Oh god, the humanity when a university press department tries to make it accessible to the general population. Those fools! To think such excitement and conversation over such petty research! Those assholes! They've got nothing on me, I'm out here on the internet sharing my bravely sharing my unsolicited and unqualified hyper critical attitude!
The problem is not economic. It has been shown for some time that 1) the fastest conversion to a low-carbon economy is the cheapest path and 2) most conversions will increase global economic prosperity within a generation and for all time.
The issue is that there is no conceivable way for existing fossil fuel interests to do anything but forestall progress for their own temporary benefit. They could have been harbingers of change and subsequently vacuumed up a large controlling portion of economic prosperity. But they didn't and now they probably can't (absent massive, as in 100b's of investment). This is the sad and usual shape that these power struggles take. Idiots in power resist change too long until it becomes too late for them. In this case they are harming the economic prosperity of most other people and are responsible for the cumulative damage their resistance causes.
China is now the de facto renewable energy supplier of the world. Even as the proportion of equipment cost to total cost declines, they will continue to capture increasing fractions of global energy expenditures. This is -already- a multi 100 billion dollar industry growing at 20% on its way to become a multi-trillion dollar industry, which will put it among the top 10 industries on earth. If transportation goes electric, it will eat into the oil industry and become the single largest energy industry on earth and potentially rival the 5-6 trillion dollar agricultural industry. China has a decade lead and while competitors retreat, they accelerate.
Solar power is already several times cheaper than oil for electricity production. A modest rate of 6% cost of battery reduction (half recent rate) and sufficient resources supply to create ~100 TWh of storage and solar powered electric vehicles will be cheaper than all gasoline [pure capex, they'll hit this point early when opex is also considered].
There is nothing to refute here. The visionaries understood this trajectory in the 60s. Smart guys recognized it in the 80s/90s. The barely competent (myself) recognized in the early 00s. It will become clear to everyone, at their own time. Those who stand to lose power and control will be the last.
Sorry what is the news here ? Petty corruption in the internal management of a private organization? Zero fucks given, here.
The bigger story is beyond the election, the media, fake news, or the new administration. With or without the influence of foreign actors, a fast increasing majority of Americans are expressing their total lack of faith in all of our institutions and actively propagating this belief. Game over. There is no plan here, no way to recover, this self-destructive behavior, whether it be a short-sighted power play by Trump/GOP, a desperate and pathetic attempt to maintain power by Obama/DNC, or a petty manipulation by foreign actors. I'm not sure we are there yet, but at some point there will be no going back from this path. That is something everyone should be contemplating before they participate in this shit show.

idiot peak power is used for all facilities. No one has a capacity factor of 1

Second funniest comment on this thread.

More money to sycodon, what does his gut say about the issue?
Swing that dick, you illiterate clown. Funniest fucking post on this thread and I've read them all.
you throw around that word evil way to much.
Not necessary, you will bend to our will eventually. I am patient
Yep, the illiterate rurals have enough guns and ammunition to stop the million+ hoards of urban zombies. Nice fantasy
Most prosperous liberal elites are not concerned about the personal impact of Trump...

import food from cheap countries, like we avoid doing now to subsidize big ag and their rural slaves?

It may be hard for the short sighted or ignorant.
The entire beats brand is a counterpoint to your argument.

Your aim here is to deride one of the central pillars of scientific progress? What a douche bag
And the odds of a global conspiracy with thousands (if not 10s of thousands) of actors? LoL

Sounds good to me. Hopefully we can begin the purge shortly thereafter.
