The paint shop would most likely be in the existing structure, not the tents. But there's really no reason why you couldn't put it in a tent; all you need is a positive pressure system. Mobile chemical warfare decontamination units use tents; you just plug some air pumps with filters into them and make sure the pressure inside is higher than the pressure outside. Air will keep leaking out, but that stops any contamination from leaking in.
For a little hobby plane, sure. But it doesn't scale the way you think it does, and you're missing a lot of stuff that would have to be added to larger aircraft. Anti-icing systems alone would require a massive improvement in battery tech, or a massive increase in weight to supply the needed energy. Add in presurization, climate control, and radar, and you're pretty much back at your "100x improvement" starting point.
Or I guess you can ditch all that, and only fly on sunny days for short distance at under 10,000 feet altitude. Which would make them useless for 99%+ of the routes currently being flown.
It's an even bigger issue for landing weight. Most aircraft can be much heavier on takeoff than on landing, which isn't an issue because they burn weight in flight. In emergency situations they can dump fuel in order to reduce weight. With batteries your takeoff and landing weight is the same, so now you have an even lower takeoff weigh than you normally would.
If they're contemplating commercial flights in 7 years, they're out of their minds. Norway isn't exactly known for it's sunny skies and temperate climates. These planes might be able to transport a few people with minimal luggage a short distance on a warm day... but as soon as you add de-icing requirements into the mix you've now cut your range to half or less of the original distance.
It seriously makes no sense at all. Given the range and speed limitations of these aircraft they would be far better off just focusing on electric cars instead.
It may not be excessive but it's certainly not light, either... and a 400km range is total shit. For that distance you're better off driving or taking the train. Especially since the speed of the plane apparently tops out slower than I can go on the highway.
Such a plane might be able to find some niche market somewhere but it's certainly not going to replace the aircraft in use today.
1. He was talking about the present, and it's telling that you have to scroll back hundreds of years to come up with your "seminal figures".
2. Christians have undoubtedly contributed to math and science, but so have Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Nazis, communists, anarchists, puritans, etc, et al. Only a moron would confuse the individual with the ideology and claim that Nazism isn't a cancer because some Nazis did good science (or that Nazis aren't a minority in the sciences, because, like, Von Braun and stuff).
They want you to start hiring unqualified and incompetent candidates, obviously. They don't give a shit about your survival as a company; they only care about their ideology.
You don't have to go back 200k years; you can go back 10k years and find the same thing. There's very little reason to believe that the previous 190k years were any different in that respect.
This is almost as retarded as when that one group of Christian idiots put together a list of something like 700 scientists who don't believe in evolution.
Yeah, Sherlock, you can always find exceptions. You have to be a moron to think that you're actually proving anything, though.
Which is exactly why it's so retarded. It can be said about absolutely every expert in existence, and tells you absolutely noting of any value about anyone.
I don't think you understand what it was that Zimbardo was trying to prove, or why he failed. The incidents you linked to are more akin to the Milgram experiments, not Zimbardos's.
Congratulations, you qualify for FRONT LINE INFANTRY!
... but only if we ever get into a shooting war in which we've run out of ammo and just need bodies to throw at the enemy. In the meantime, go home. For modern infantrymen we need people who can do things like navigate, plot coordinates for air support and indirect fire, operate complex electronics, and understand rules of engagement and the laws governing modern warfare.
We'll call you if any positions open up in the Cook trade.
I guess you haven't been keeping up with the news. They had a coup recently followed by a major civil war. That's on top of the fact that they've always been a monarchy founded purely on direct inheritance of power in which the upper 1% enjoy fantastic wealth and the benefits of advanced technology while the remainder live in abject poverty, eking out a basic existence in their dirt huts and mountain caves.
It's not his "opinion"; it's a documented fact that Zimbardo and others told both the guards and the prisoners what to do.
But sure, let's just keep citing an unethical and discredited "experiment" because redoing it would be unethical. What could possibly be wrong with that.
Solar with energy storage has a capacity factor that's near that of nuclear.
Now that's damn funny. Yeah, a power station which can only operate at anything near the rated output for maybe 7 hours per day is is going to be "near" nuclear which can operate at peak all day long. Hilarious.
Good storage tech would improve the capacity factor somewhat because we wouldn't have to "dump" energy at peak, but you're dreaming if you think it could possibly come anywhere close to nuclear. You can't have solar output when the sun ain't shining, and batteries don't change that. Physics doesn't work that way.

Totally; they should be sending the kids and parents to prison together. Serves those little bastards right for being born to a family of criminals!
Glad to find another enlightened individuals such as yourself on Slashdot.

That's ridiculously expensive. Jet fuel is around $2.11 per gallon right now, which is above average. A year ago of was $1.40.

most the people who make up America chose to come here
No, the vast majority of the people who make up America were born there, and had no say in the matter.
There seems to be very little work in the google environment these days. And they're hell bent on reducing it further.

Why would you assume that only women wear dresses you sexist shitlord. I'll have you know I'm wearing a kilt right now.

This strikes me as complaining about a study regarding birds because it doesn't include elephants.
When the headline of the article is "all animals are getting yummier", yes, I would definitely complain if the "study" only included birds.

There's actually very little reason to listen to most doctors, since they possess lots of knowledge yet understand so little.
This gets my vote for the stupidest comment of the year award. Are we taking nominations yet or is it too early?
Pretty sure his point was "my anecdotes are better than your data because I don't trust your data".
Law enforcers lie all day every day. It's their culture, and the kangaroo courts encourage it.
Whereas random internet yahoos who pretend to be reporters are bastions of truth and virtue.
