    Well, that's blindseer, you know. To say that he has an agenda is not quite the right description - if nuclear power had a dick, he would suck it day and night.

    You have watched too much Mr Robot. Besides the metro uses plastic tokens that have to be bought for cash. No credit cards are involved.

    Been there as well and I am surprised. The metro in Kiev is ancient, in a shoddy state and predates the word "cyber" so I cannot really think of any target for a cyberattack there beside its official website, whatever it would be.

    Calcium-45, Manganese-54, Silicium-32. Basically concrete, steel, rock. These will stay radioactive for several years.

    Any fusion will produce quite a lot of neutrons. Certain thermonuclear weapons used that fact to boost the explosion even more with depleted or natural uranium tamper that would be made fissile during the explosion by the resultant neutron flux, making this kind of thermonuclear weapons even dirtier.
    Add to that that induced radiation also works just fine with alpha emitters, not only neutrons, so the initial fallout would activate even more stuff. Instable isotopes also don't always decay to stable elements, the decay chain can be quite long.

    The fallout will be far worse than in Japan because most of the fallout consists of soil that has been activated by the neutron flux from the explosion. The fission products are a secondary issue.

  8. The original production line was meant for regular Zenit starts, a rocket that was supposed to replace the Soyuz and the Proton. It will be under-utilised even if Angara will commence commercial flights.

  9. Angara is not a competitor, it is mostly vapourware and a higher production rate would most likely have lowered the price anyway. And generally the price is justified because of the performance - high thrust and a very high specific impulse. The Blue Origin replacement will definitely have lower thrust and probably inferior efficiency as well due to lower chamber pressure. RD-170 was designed for ten flights, I don't think RD-180 isn't much different in this matter. Not as good as the planned 25 flights of the BE-4, but still reasonable. It is kind of a waste for expendable rockets, though.

  10. Nothing wrong about this. The engines are very efficient, they were designed to be reusable and there is already an assembly line for them. This is why SpaceX trying to make the issue a political one is Musk being a dick.

    Liposuction is probably not just not urgent, but also non essential, so it is not covered by the NHS in first place.

  16. Re:Third red scare on Dodging Russian Spies, Customers Are Ripping Out Kaspersky (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    It didn't. But the difference between this red scare and the previous two ones is that nowadays there is a lot more trade between the USA and Russia. Nowadays there are companies that would directly benefit from a red scare if they manage to link their competitors - even if that link is imaginary - to the Russian government. SpaceX tried to do that to the ULA, this whole Kaspersky stuff is probably driven by Symantec.

    Apparently you have stopped reading after the first half of the sentence. Here in Germany about 3% of the population are Russians. Studies repeatedly have shown that they are among the best integrated foreigners, far better integrated than, for example, the Turks. Matter of fact, many Russians in Germany think that there are far too many foreigners here, especially from Muslim countries, who simply are unwilling to be assimilated.

    Drivers are somewhat different. Better than with Linux, though, where there is no stable ABI at all, so the drivers have to be recompiled for each new kernel version, which seriously sucks if there is no source available.

    Windows not likely to run a software from 10 years ago? Are you from some kind of a parallel universe? Windows backwards compatibility is legendary. Windows 10 is able to run most software written for Windows 95, but it is often very difficult to get a package from Debian Jessie running in Debian Stretch.

    It will easily be as good as 737, because even the 737MAX is like putting lipstick on a pig - the basic design is 50 years old. It is only current airliner that still has no fly by wire (electrically actuated spoilers don't really count).
