I didn't know about this Godwin but I'd apply this to all people in both a positive and negative sense. I think it stems from people unable to make a logical argument. So the speaker invokes a person they believe would agree with an idea and then use that person as the focus to either attack or promote the idea. The problem with this technique is that by doing this you open all of that persons beliefs as a target for criticism.
I am pretty libertarian in my views. But I cringe when someone invokes a founding father in their libertarian argument. The reason is because many of them were slave owners and if you use Jefferson to promote a libertarian idea you by default get people that disagree with you attacking the fact he owned slaves.
You should strive to make your argument on logical grounds only. Also when someone does invoke a historical person in an argument you disagree with try to focus on the idea being discussed and don't let it devolve into Reductio ad Hitlerum.
I know the AMA doesn't license physicians. What I am saying is that there should be no government licensing of any kind. Voluntarily organizations would build reputations. There used to be a time when Union workers were sought after because they helped train their own members and union members tended to be of a high quality. The problem is when force is used to either prevent people from working unless they have a license or member of a union or the opposite case when an employer is not allowed to require someone to join a union.
These organizations would come and go based on how people value the opinion. Kind of like Amazon reviews, Angies List, Consumer Reports, CNET, ect.
My philosophical starting point is that people own their body and should be able to do whatever they want with it as long as they don't violate someone else's right to their body.
What I am saying is you should be allowed to get whatever service you and another person agree upon. Now state legislators passing laws forcing insurance companies to cover anything is a violation of your and your insurance company's rights to enter into your own contract. The proper role of government would be to provide courts in case your insurance company did not live up to the terms of a contract you signed with them. Not to predetermine what should be in that contract.
There is no difference between this and licensed doctors, engineers, lawyers, ect.
These should all be voluntarily organizations. So if you want to see a real doctor you can find one that has AMA accreditation. But if you want to see a witch doctor, herbal specialist, or chiropractor go ahead. It's your body.
Now if someone claims to have AMA accreditation when they don't that is committing fraud.
This tells you how much energy it takes to cool air from different states. So lets take air at Death Valley. Right now it's about 21 C and 20% Humidity. Looking on the chart you have: Enthalpy 28.5 kJ/kg Dew Point -2 C 1 kg of air you have 3 g of water
Take Orlando. Right now 27 C and 50% Humidity. Looking on the chart you have: Enthalpy 56 kJ/kg of air Dew Point 16 C 1 kg of air you have 11 g of water
So the air in Orlando contains 3 times as much water per kg of air. The energy required to cool it is 2 times as much per lb You only have to cool 50% of the temperature difference (21 C-(-2 C)) = 23 C vs (27 C-16 C) = 11 C.
Now lets say you want to get 1000 liters = 1000 kg of water out of the air. Assume you will be able to reduce both to a humidity ratio of 1.5 g/kg
For Death Valley you will get 1.5 g/kg of air so you need to cool 6.7 x 10^5 kg of air. Look on the chart for the before and after enthalpy and you get (28.5-(-6)) kJ/kg = 34.5 kJ/kg You need about 2.3x10^6 kJ to make 1000 liters. To make this in a day you need a power of 266 kW.
For Orlando you will get 9.5 g/kg of air so you need to cool 1.1 x 10^5 kg of air Look on the chart for the before and after enthalpy and you get (56-(-6)) kJ/kg = 62 kJ/kg You need about 6.5x10^6 kJ to make 1000 liters. To make this in a day you need a power of 75 kW
Again you can get big efficiency gains from using the now -10 C air to prechill the incoming air so the actual power required will be less.
If it is a honest question F is temperature in degrees farenheit and lb is pound mass. If you are being a wise ass the people that invented Air Conditioning used these units and made these charts. Any real engineer shouldn't have a problem working in different units.
Holy crap my experience as an ME comes in handy on/.
You are correct. You have to use energy to cool the air and the water in the air. But it's much easier to cool a mass of dry air than wet air. But you get less water out of dry air. You have to think of the air being cooled as wasted energy although some can be recovered by using the cool dry air to pre-cool the incoming moister air.. Also you have to cool the air to below it's dew point in order to get the water to condense. In dry air you have to cool it much further to get to the Dew Point.
This tells you how much energy it takes to cool air from different states. So lets take air at Death Valley. Right now it's about 70 F and 20% Humidity. Looking on the chart you have: Enthalpy 20 BTU/lb Dew Point 30 F 1 lb of air you have 25 grains (.004 lb) of water
Take Orlando. Right now 80 F and 50% Humidity. Looking on the chart you have: Enthalpy 30 BTU/lb of air Dew Point 60 F. 1 lb of air you have 80 grains (.011 lb) of water
So the air in Orlando contains 3 times as much water per lb of air. The energy required to cool it is 1.5 times as much per lb You only have to cool 50% of the temperature difference (80-60) = 20 F vs (70-30) = 40 F.
Now lets say you want to get 1000 liters = 2200 lb of water out of the air. Assume you will be able to reduce both to a humidity ratio of 10 grain/lb. For Death Valley you will get 15 grain/lb of air so you need to cool 1,026,666 lbs of air. Look on the chart for the before and after enthalpy and you get (20-5) Btu/lb = 15 BTU/lb You need about 15 x 10^6 BTU to make 1000 liters.
For Orlando you will get 70 grain/lb of air so you need to cool 220,000 lbs of air Look on the chart for the before and after enthalpy and you get (30-5) Btu/lb = 25 BTU/lb You need about 5.5 x 10^6 BTU to make 1000 liters.
Not really. It's hard to have a huge bubble without fiat currency. It can be done but they are usually self correcting. But if you have the ability to borrow money into existence you can create a HUGE bubble.
The problem here is that people have the wrong perspective. We haven't been a free people since the Civil War. The Civil War was really a battle of two ideas. One was that you could keep people in chattel slavery. That was the old idea that had been around centuries. The new idea was much smarter. It was to set up a system to enslave everyone but the key is to allow them to think they are free. It's pretty brilliant if you think about it. Those in control have 300 million slaves in the US that produce all manner if goods and technology the masters could never dream of. All they have to do is print little strips of paper in return. Genius.
Its all a big scam anyway. Who is really capable of writing meaningful safety regulations? Only people in the industry with the experience. So who do you pick in the industry to write the regulations? Your biggest donors of course. And when they write the regulations you can be sure they will write them in order to benefit them.
It's like the lead paint in toys. The big toy makers wrote regulations that made it near impossible for startup companies to comply even if they made the toys themselves and had full traceability in their production.
I don't know how much they teach about American history. The US Givernment was created by the states and given limited specific powers and the States reserved everything else. This has obviously been abandoned.
When people say the US should be more like Euope I agree. We should be 50 countries that pretty much run our own affairs and just have a mutual defense treaty and free trade zone.
Notice there is no Euorpean universal health care system. Each country runs its own.
Of course IP is slavery. Someone can get a government monopoly that prohibits you from using your own real property how you want. Someone else owning you and your property is slavery.
Slavery was on its way out before the civil war. it would have ended sooner had the southern states been allowed to secede. It would have nullified the fugitive slave laws and slaves would have poured from the south to the North. Maybe that is why the North really fought?
You are missing a larger problem. It is that The scientific method is the best we have at discovering why something is happening in the natural world. It is terrible at explaining if something is a problem and what solution should be implemented by force, ie governments. This really falls into the study of economics and human action.
So while a scientist can report their data and conclusions and even explain possible scenarios and predicted outcomes they cant say what the policy should be. Taking that last step puts them into economics and politics because it involves using force to control other people's lives. And most people have an inherent distrust of people that want to control over them.
The police investigated and decided not to charge. Do you have a copy of their investigation? No? Me neither. Let's see what it says. If Trayvon initiated the use of force George was within his rights to shoot to defend himself. If the Prosecutor can prove George initiated the use of force to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt then he will be convicted. Otherwise he's not guilty. Pretty simple.
Besides if George is found not guilty Obama can just execute him with he new found powers.
Not true. If they are actual drug dealers (ie convicted) they can't lawfully have a firearm. If convicted it's up to 15 years. If possession of fire arm in commission of crime (drug dealing) minimum 10 years. If fired in commission of crime (drug dealing) minimum 20 years. If you hit someone in commission of crime (drug dealing) minimum 25 to life.
