yet you have failed to provide even a single name as of yet. It's easily google-able that all of the major players got off scott-free.

None of the highest up were sent to jail. CEOs perfectly fine taking responsibility for the profits, but what happened to taking responsibility for the fraud they enabled?

Can you name any of them? As far as I know none of the CEOs of the major banks spent any time in jail. They tried to get the CEO of Wamu but he successfully countersued (LOL) to get the Feds to drop the charges? edit: it's unfortunate

Nobody that mattered went to jail. A few lackeys might have been thrown to the wolves, though it seems only 1 spent significant time in jail. Meanwhile the board members, C-suite of Lehmann, Bear Stearns, WaMu, etc didn't spend a secon

I agree that part of the bottleneck is deploying solar physically. China is the best in the world in deploying solar panels. They are only managing linear increases in their solar capacity, year over year.

you would need 200 times the number of solar cells. I don't think you appreciate the scale that 200x is, especially when China is already: 1. quite good at making solar cells 2. quite motivated to increase their energy production via s

sure, we can neglect the water, but the USA has much more usable flat land than China, and that is a pretty inarguable point.

you think we don't have enough space on earth for a few buildings? this seems like a purely western cope. China seems perfectly able to build out large infrastructure projects with a land area smaller than that of the continentenal USA

you realize the factor of 2 you introduce doesn't meaningfully change the order of magnitude that the previous poster is implying right?

Best is a bit of an overstatement. It's middle of the pack (performing akin to a 7700, but significantly worse than AMD Zen 5 and the Intel 13th/14th gen). I think the main thing is that it is still plenty capable in 2025 if you&#

Dark in the context of astrophysics means specifically that the object/matter does not interact directly with electromagnetic radiation (eg absorb an optical/microwave/radio photon). So it is probably dark matter, but probabl

I think the problem for me here is that previous you mentioned yourself that the primary funders are nonprofits and government organizations (NSF, Nat Geo Society, Gordon & Betty), so it doesn't seem like even you believe the priva

sounds like you're arguing that it should be open given that two non-profits and the US government are the primary funders of it. Given how non-profits tend to get a high degree of public subsidy as well (indirect tax subsidies to non-

seemed like they were pointing out that Mazda EV offerings are bad and that they don't worry about EV initiatives. That doesn't have much to do with studying how to put older batteries to use - EVs can be bad for many reasons. To

It has been proposed and is often studied in different contexts, but it seems unlikely that we will be able to measure it any time soon.

I have to imagine that even accounting for the variance in internal resistance over a large set of batteries in a demanding application like a car is probably a host of problems makes this unattractive from the outset.

Did you even read the article? It has nothing to do with producing EVs, they are using the old EV batteries to help power manufacturing facilities.

it depends on the scale and the required amounts. If having a limited amount of catalyst wasn't such a big problem I suspect hydrogen power would have been much more economically viable.

Yes, the key here is the degradation of the forever chemical, not the removal. Removal itself doesn't really change the environmental scale of it

producing raw material does not mean you can process it. The American defense branches have been searching for Ge-free alternatives for thermal optics, etc since during Biden's presidency. The trade war is significant, but does not cha
