Just as most people consider their IQ to be above average.

Yeah, but why running Android apps is such a game changer? After all, most Android phones can run Android apps too... Why would anyone want to have Jolla and not Android?

not sarcastic at all. falling crutches were a constant source of trauma for me

+1 for a solution to the falling crutch problem.

You're being rational again. Stop!

Seliger makes strong claims about 'fallacies' in the book, but supports them only by his opinions on what's true and what's not. Example: he's trying to persuade us that global warming introduces a risk of a sudden

Trolling is more difficult if you're not a native speaker or come from a different culture, so even if there were any international trolls they didn't know proper expletives for trolling in english.

Heh, they're not exactly _IGNORING_ customers. They're using them as milking cows.

Well, you need to be prepared for such things when you want to play politics. In some places you can be beaten by police, in 'more democratic' countries you'll be thrown into legal repression machine.

I suppose they're trying to persuade us that Snowden is a superhuman, and only his superpowers allowed him to get access to all the information. It has nothing to do with incompetence of his coworkers and bosses, nobody could have prev

Amazon has already made a decision to move some logistics to cheaper countries in Eastern Europe, so next year they'll have a nice excuse to fire all 'troublemakers' in Germany.

Yes, but usually you don't want to use these 'weakly structured' BLOBS if you have an alternative. Relational dbs have some weak points but structured data storage is not one of them. I can't imagine a database without a

This happens when someone is trying to actually use NoSQL instead of just praising it ;)

There's a paper published by sheerwind, detailing the principles of operation - http://sheerwind.com/wp-content/uploads/sheerwind/2012/10/Al... . There's no mention of any valves, too. But

by lafar6502 13y ago
Yes, but they aren't mentioning that, and I suppose this is quite an important ommission. And btw, valves would create additional drag and reduce efficiency of the device.

Ok, the air would flow into the channel facing the wind, but wouldn't it also be sucked out by the side channels as the wind passes by? A movement of air creates a pressure drop proportional to the speed of wind so there would be a suc

The construction company will be sued for low quality work that prevents the device from running?

by lafar6502 13y ago
How long will this keep returning? Of course the device works, with a minor glitch: it heats the water with same efficiency as any electric water heater. Because it's an electric boiler with some mumbojumbo attached. I doubt, however,

My quick calculation below shows that the device is not capable of 1MW power output with declared parameters (amount of heated water produced). It's calculated maximum power output would be like 160-180kW, which strangely is quite simi

by lafar6502 13y ago
And nowhere near the claimed 1MW... Am I wrong or they didn't even bother to do the math properly?

by lafar6502 13y ago
As stated in technical parameters: the water pump output is 30-1500 liters/hour, it means max 0.4 liter per second. Assuming it raises the temperature of water by 40 degrees K, the energy output per second is 4200J/kg K 0.5kg *

Oh, God, an advisory article by people who have just learned what a relational db is. What's next?

by lafar6502 13y ago
heh, this applies to all 'new' databases - if you aren't sure which one to choose, you're usually better off staying with a relational. You'll be bleeding edge in few years when SQL is forgotten and then re-discover

I'm afraid there were more 'databases' created in last 2 years than in all earlier history of human civilization. This suggests authors of some of these products have yet to discover what ACID means and how many problems they

Maybe MongoDB is clown's shoes, but so are 99% of all technology startups. They all fail before reaching limits of the database.

Wow, first serious Tesla road accident and all they can say is how unlikely it was. It was impossible before, now it's only extremely unlikely. Until next time? There are probably many other ways to destroy the battery in a collision,
