What the hell has USA to do with the will of a sovereign country? Are you fucking joking with us?
Linked in is an embarrassment to the Russian government, as it leaks out information about US salaries, and US standards of living and job opportunities that the Russia does not provide to the general population.
Next step is the proliferation of vitamin supplements that are useful if you live in the Sarah desert. I know not of an American child needing over the counter supplements and all these alluring cure-all supplements to solve back-aches, etc.
Not going to be that cheap, having a solar cell built in.
Musk is comparing his roofing to ceramic tile. Not steal shingles, much less asphalt composite shingles (the last is fair, they have shit durability).
Roofs like ceramic tile and slate (in 2016) are architectural elements, not a type that is chosen economically. This will start in botique construction, I bet you see it on northern exposures at high latitudes (where the solar cells are useless).
I'm actually curious to see how they do the interconnect. If you need an electrician soldering each tile to a bus, it's a non-starter. I'm sure it's not that fucked up, but if you just have them 'autoattach' when nailed down you could get welding voltages/amperages on the roof while installing. How do they do edges, valleys and ridges (always the tricky parts of roofing). Also curious if he has lower cost inactive but matching tiles for northern exposures.
Tweaker roofers will just do these jobs at night and continue not sleeping. They will also invent insane contraptions with these, welders, solar vapourizers etc.
We have new technology in roofing shingles. The non-glossy shingles reflect sun and include a thermal blanket built-in. From what I saw, those shingles are laid out as interlocking tiles. Yes, there still is a need for roof vents. But fewer of them.
Agreed, I still want to find out how this product works in places like Warren Ohio, Joplin, Missouri, Greensburg Kanasas (Most Damaging Tornadoes I can think of off the top of my head) Where tornadoes while not "common" also aren't "rare" and as such roofs need to be able to sustain pre-tornado weather (including hail) at least a few times a year. (to be reliable)
That doesn't even include Cold Weather testing (which those 3 above also face to varying degrees), extreme summer heat, and snow dead weight (weight of snow/ice on roof) capacities, etc....
and that isn't even including any PV testing... like... Ohh how about a minor heating element that can be turned on in the winter to help de-ice/snow roofs... so as to be able to go back to collecting solar (because "normally"(ignoring temps going up) you can get a lot of snow quickly and then days and days of 'sunny but still cold' where roofs are still snow covered. So... a heating element like this would use battery/etc. power for a short time, but then allow PV collection again... ohh and.... yeah... the list goes on...)
Also... I would want to know if I can buy it in small quantities to put it on small sheds, etc... where a LED light and maybe more would be great add ons... because the "issue" with solar roof that I've been told is that you can't just buy the panels from them... you have to get EVERYTHING including installation from them... and a lot of people HAVE to do the lease option... (b/c they (IMHO) buy grid-tie in systems which makes them susceptible to lower power company regulations...) (I'd be glad to know if I'm wrong on any of Solar City's practices...but still the same issues apply)
Thumbs up to your posting. I have similar concerns. I currently have a home with a flat roof. The roof has slight slopes to the roof drains. In the middle of winter, the roof can be up to one foot of snow resting on it.
Can the tiles be trimmed and also remain flexible in -20 degree weather, or with snow/ice buildup? Snow/ice sometimes tend to tear apart (stretch) non-flexible shingles.
Your stupidity. There is no amount of reprocessing that will make nuclear power cost effective. Disagree, name the nuclear power plant that charges its customers for the full cost from cradle to grave: everything from mining & refining, to plant construction & maintenance, to waste disposal/recycling/reuse.
You can't do that because that nuclear power plant doesn't exist. Because nuclear power is corporate welfare masking ongoing nuclear weapons programs.
When properly managed, nuclear power is clean and disposal is clean. Mega project Hydo power (dams are the best for low cost, low maintenance). I live in a low cost electricity zone (from 4.4 cents per KWH to 8cents). My home is heated and cooled with electricity, and it is affordable to me at my 7cents / kwh cost.
You missed the point. China buys large numbers of cars made in the US. The Chinese market is so large that if the US is restricted we will suffer loss of jobs as well as income. Apparently I phones are also popular products that we export to China. China has enormous economic power these days. If we get into a disagreement over tariffs the chances are that China will win.
Its not chances are, it is more of "definitely China would win".
https://www.theguardian.com/wo... In a trade war, the USA would be the loser. Grain, aircraft, cars sold to China would stop. China would also stop selling cellphones to the USA. Together, no cellphones means your salesman would have to run to the office or use wifi and a laptop to communicate with his customers. The USA is too dependent on Cellphone use. That cellphone drop in sales would impact the providers, resellers and even advertising.
China's internal market is 4 time the size of the USA market. They have alternate sources, as does the USA. Trump is trumpeting his stupidity.
The north west is going through drought. Your orange juice, and normal fruits and may varieties of vegetables are not going to mature. Look forward to high prices, and a drop in the quality of produce.
Of course, Canada has a surplus of water, and with the NAFTA being rolled back by Trump, that water is going to remain in Canada. Canada provides soft-wood lumber to the USA, that it cannot provide with it's own resources. So, Canada welcomes a new NAFTA deal, as a win and a win for both.
Anyway, the Koch brothers can provide you the water with their coal fumes.
Fedora Linux is intentionally limited, due to being American based. There are three reputable Remixes (A remix is Fedora++) which contains codecs and other inclusions from rpmfusion and from the Remix creator. The three Remixes, see links below, make Fedora, a truly remarkable workstation Linux. These Remixes are not American based, but use Fedora at their core. But without these, three Remixes, I would skip Fedora for some non-American Linux. It is American Patent Laws that are the Achilles heel, limiting Fedora.
My three favourite Remixes. a) ChapeauLinux = Fedora++ = Fedora + rpmfusion+extraprograms+extra backgrounds (Gnome ) b) KororaProject = Fedora++ = Fedora + rpmfusion+extraprograms+extra backgrounds (Gnome,Mate,XFCE,KDE choices) c) RFRemix = Fedora++ = Fedora + rpmfusion+extraprograms+extra backgrounds (Gnome,Mate,XFCE,KDE choices with the network installation verson).
One comment about c) It comes as a network installation version and a live iso version. The live version is Gnome only and launches in Russian, but to Fedora++ users or Fedora users, The system option "Region and Language" will allow you to switch from Russian to English. The Russion version is hosted on Yandex. For you who fear hacking, I have not found any sign of this in any Russian version. The Russian versions includes source.
After installation, the Fedora "dnf" tool or Gnome "software", native to Fedora, are used toU maintain the Remixes. The next release is Fedora 25. I have been a Fedora Remix biggot since Fedora20 (6 releases of Remixes or Fedora)
As an aside. I boot SUSE, UBUNTU and a Fedora Remix). The Remix is my favourite.
My view is that programming cannot be considered a career. My analogy is the clothing sweatshop. You have the sewing machine operators (programmers) trying to sew garments (the sub-problem) and the two parts do not fit together.
Who wants to be a life time sewing machine operator anywaY?
A better plan would be to break California into multiple smaller states (say 10) based on population centers to increase the number of left leaning US Senators.
Can't do that.
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.
Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1
California and British Columbia Canada touch. Perhaps California can join Canada as the 11th Province. Just think of the benefits. No Donald, universal medicare, low cost education, great skying, fishing and hunting, large educated population.
But Californians would have to give up their assault weapons and probably your small arms too.
I installed it and found it a very rich Gnome++ desktop. It is missing the ability to install Gnome extensions, and other than that, the typical list of gnome applications presented onto the desktop. There is a video to show it's offering. Sorry, don't have the link at this instant.
You left out the USA and Trump's disbelief. Bring on the hurricanes and tornadoes unabated and the major destruction that will repeat, year after year in the USA midwest.
How is the desktop support much of an issue? Enterprise support for databases and other server services can get very complex and I can acknowledge that a real TCO case could be made. But desktop? To me that's a simple, you have a problem, let's wipe you and reimage. I can't imagine a case where the costs difference exceed the license expenses.
Now if every crybaby in management can't handle learning LibreOffice over Word/Excel, thats another problem..... Maybe get smarter people? It's Germany, they have plenty.
A wonderful MS Office product for Linux is not LibreOffice, but wps.com
Block all CBC podcasts. When someone enters, have a dialog box pop up explaining the reason CBC podcasts can't be accessed. See how they like it when their numbers tank. This is the only way some people will learn...
I think the CBC is saying "You can distribute my stuff for free, but you can't charge for the app or charge a fee to download our podcasts.
Reminds me of the days my parents had to pay a license to the government for each radio in the house.
I think that coordinated universal time is a great idea. We could have 00 hrs Sunday as the start, and Saturday end of day as 168 (24/7) hours, perhaps we should adjust the duration of the hour so that a month always has the same number of days as any other month.
Wow, think of the business that would start up . New watches, calendars, other time pieces and more.:)
Given equal skills in two continents, why should an employer pay the higher cost area more than the other area. It does not make sense. Consider water in two connected reservoirs. The idea would be for the water in the lower to rise, and the water in the higher to drop. At some point in time, the water will be the same height in both.
That water concept will apply to salaries paid in the two continents. Eventually, they will equalize.
East voting reports should not be presented until the polls close in Hawaii, or California. Early results from New York could influence voting results in California up to three hours before the polls close.
Integrity is more important than profits during a voting day.
Those H1B's are just there to "temporarily" fill a lack of skilled workers.
Hopefully, Hillary will make sure that service jobs (programming, support, system design) remain in the USA. That is the only way to defeat H1Bs
And in the end, with the software people restored, (as can be), and with their income tax, the corp will find that it is a win-win for them.
The American corporation has an obsession to profit and keeping costs down. They earn their money from Americans and yet they through Americans, their customers out of work. SHAME.
Turkey is going int full-blown religious fascism at this time. Next step introduction of a death-penalty, and you can bet it will be applied for anybody accuses of "anti-government activity", "insulting the president", and the like. With the current state of the prisons and the number of people in there, that the government does not like, they already effectively have concentration-camps.
The only good thing is that this way, they will not get to be part of the EU anytime soon. They will have to come back out of the darkness first, and that takes a long, long time, and currently they are very intent on going much deeper into evil.
The death penalty is in effect. Jail a dissident, and suddenly, for no reason, he dies in prison.
