For coal in the USA the stated cost for MWh in 2010 was $41. The external cost was $58. This does not include for implicit and explicit subsidies. Including those would make the external costs higher. The numbers change by country, time,

Up until the A3000 and the competing '030 Macintosh machines the Amiga's graphics and sound processors made up for slower CPUs. However, by the time of the '040 the Amiga was behind with the exception of SD NTSC video produc

The Space Shuttle's sonic boom broke one of my bay windows when I was living in Orlando. Mythbusters was an entertainment TV show, I wouldn't extend their results to real life.

Keep in mind that bedrock in this context is limestone and oolite. This rock is not an ideal foundation material. http://www.mgs.md.gov/geology/geohazards/engineering_problem... Harder rock is deep, around 1,300m

It was less about technical factors relating to stealth than human factors. The USAF reused the route packages and the shooters knew the approximate location and timing of the flight. A Serbian asset tipped off the shooters that the normal

Absolutely. In addition all carriers use multi-lateration and sectorization to fine tune location. The better the location the more valuable it is for commercial resale and CALEA sales. Notice that all of this is entirely legal, above boa

Our strategy was to engage from the rear and use MK48 to pop the shaft seals. In retrospect, the time to penetrate the bastions meant that the show was over by the time we could engage. The MK50 was meant to defeat the Soviet hulls, again

Yes, there are lots. Largest of which is that the manufacturers have to balance onerous return penalties vs. weight and size. The solution is to use a monocoque and glue everything down. Thus, consumers buy the cheapest plans, carriers push

Back when I was playing the game the Moskit and its derivatives made the CIWS obsolete. The short engagement range meant that the debris of the threat would impact and mission kill. The larger 30mm and RAM were created to extend that range

A bit more info. "Safe cave diving" was coined by Tom Mount in 1976 as an attempt to educate divers about less dangerous ways of diving. The ICURR has a slide deck discussing various statistics at http://www.iucrr.org&#

This is exactly correct. I helped create the system used by US telcos to track users. We had GPS precision tracking on all users and used big data to geolocate that data against other users, retail establishments, and road locations. Thi

Yeah, the F-35 is actually milled down during/after assembly for low observables. However, the Mig-21 can hit the same speeds as the XB-1 and it has panel gaps visible from several meters. I did some reading and the XB-1 does use hydr

I'm surprised by the assembly tolerances. .05-.1" The F-35 is assembled to .003" The usage of control cables and pulleys is odd. I would have expected hydraulic/electric actuation in a Mach 2+ aircraft.

I worked on a similar project for Motorola and it had limited commercial success. Very dense topologies need to aggressively handle broadcast storms such as ARP storms. Very fragmented topologies need to handle delay tolerant networking. I

When I was playing the game we cross licensed with banks, credit agencies, and etc. I couldn't evade my own nets because I have a drivers license, property, and bank accounts. I'm sure that you've done better.

I used .44 wax slugs for a while. They were quite dangerous at very short ranges and were not able to penetrate two layers of sheet rock.

Reading the reports is a bit disconcerting. Waymo appears to be about 60x better at these measurements than their competition. The Tesla report says "these are not autonomous vehicles nor have they been driven in autonomous mode"

The democratic party has not had any sort of antiwar position since at least as far back as 2000. In fact, in 2004 they had an overt pro-intervention plank. 1 I submit that "both sides" do not, in fact, "do it". The mo
