We dont have energy storage, thats the whole point. This is about utility plants storage scale, not your iphone battery. this story has nothing to do with oil, or politics or environmentalism, its about money and technology. Sure batteries are a leftist fav talking point, but this article is not about that either. Designing for grid "average load" instead of "peak load" will bring down infrastructure cost by 40%. Not to say, the network will become more distributed so multiple points of failure.

Someone started a crowdfunding campaign to bail out the Greek government https://www.indiegogo.com/greek-bailout-fund.html#/story 1.2 million collected. target 1.6 billion This is basicly e-begging/scam?, these people will never get their money back if they dont reach the target 1.6B?

Try the #math group at IRC freenode.net, they can help you. mathematics is a big field, but it will empower you , to do anything you want. I cant recommend any books because Its not immediately obvious what your level is right now.

"..given that the Muslim poplualtion in the US is mostly integrated..." EU leaders after decades of government sponsored segregation (multikilti) finally discovered "integration"., another nonsensical new-speaked word. integration in the US. http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/04/ground-zero-mosque-developer-now-plans-museum-of-islam-at-ground-zero US tends towards balkanisation, not integration. a leftist nation wrecking tactic. Not because they hate the state , they just want their version of statism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWKp80UwA-M

The voters themselves are very much to blame, if they had to choose between "no Sharia" vs "welfare state" many would choose the latter. I find this "blaming politicians" or 'the left" distracting from the fact that a majority of people enables them I am not feeling sorry for any "innocent" voters. Education doesnt cure anything, Educated muslims have a higher chance becoming terrorist then uneducated ones. So its not about education, its about moral framework!

Funny how the IQ test themselves are not subject to discussions, anyway. Thomas Sowell 1990 CSPAN. (I suggest you watch the whole video , below I posted some conclusions) Timestamp: 25:24 "I restisted throught the 60's all efforts from people who were trying to get me to write about race,..,because i was not an expert in the field, but then I read what the so called experts were writing, and what kind of nonsense it was" when i got into it, there so many terrible things that the general public was so unaware off" And there so many bills of goods sold to the public by people who personally gain from this stuff Timestamp 26:54 A terrible thing happened on CBS where they accused me of writing that bal cks are genticly inferior "I have written at least a least a half of dozen articles attacking the thesis or Arthur Jensen, So much so, that the BBC once wanted to arrange a debate with me and Jensen , why is it that in London they understand what my position is but in Washington they cant find out what it is." Timestamp 27:26 there was a large survay of IQ, 20 years ago, over 100.000 people, when i wrote all this stuff up so it is a matter of public record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TrFafy_q28

Good Debate between Sam Harris and Cenk Uygur
SigmaTau replied to jpahmad's topic in Atheism and Religion
I didnt know that about the name "young turks" So its even worse, its like having a "liberal" talk show called "Die hitler jugend" He is NOT ignorant about Armenian genocide. Cenk is just a Turkish nationalist, we see that even with 3rd generation from immigrants (grandchildren of the Turkish immigrants in EU from 1960's). -- -- Cenk is playing into the identity politics and race-fetish of the liberals, by pimping his ethnicity. He is supposedly making millions...... -
"Negging" is not insulting a women, its playfull banter) (aT least thats how i did it) It has nothing to do with my previous rejection fear,..... wow) Anyway .., I am MGTOW, I might be interested in a women if she ambitious as I am, otherwise I don't really care, .. Yeah women look at you if you work out,..,some will look at you if you also drive a nice car (or whatever) but who cares...

Good Debate between Sam Harris and Cenk Uygur
SigmaTau replied to jpahmad's topic in Atheism and Religion
"The Young Turks" is a strange name for a liberal talkshow I dont think Cenk would take well with a show called "The Young Germans" He was also awfully silent during the Armenian holocaust centennial remembrance on the subject. (1915-2015) (Discussing the holocaust will get you jail-time in Turkey) I find his silence and selectivity on this issue hypocritical , especially for a social justice warrior like Cenk. The only ME Arab countries that had some form of secular government were Syria and Iraque, brutal dictatorships. You can only keep this religion under control through sheer force. Basically its who has the biggest gun. Boko Haram (Northern Nigerea) is not the result of a theocracy. Its just how the religion is these days. I am not sure about how much more civilized Islam was during the dark ages, when Saladin conquered Jerusalem and muslimified it, he sold all the christian women into slavery and killed all the males. Doesnt really sound "more enlightened" to me. Also note the inquisition originated from a country (Spain) that was suffered under 1000 year Muslim rule. Maybe its a coincidence , who knows. Although a lot of people would propagandize it was actually Spain's most enlightened age.) -
"...The way I see in the uncertainty principle, is not of a limit of how much it can be known about a system,.." There is a misconception (although lightly) about "uncertainty". It is used in 2 concepts 1) for QM At the time of measurement all properties will be EXACTLY known (speed and position) , its called "the collapse of the wavefunction" , BUT where the particle will "choose" the exist is not exactly predictable , it is only known through probability. 2) This is the biggest misconception, it says that position vs impulse (velocity) or (energy vs exitation-time) cannot be exactly known at the same time.. this wording is false as it has nothing to do with (1). It means that with repeated measurements (ensemble) the PRODUCT "variance" (the statistical property variance) of "position" and variance of "momentum" are a constant. A lot of layman confuse 1 with 2. On the other hand i don't know if I explained it well enough without using mathematics.

Nothing exotic, funny, cocky, stuff from David D'Angelo, Mystery,.(long time ago 2009, I am not sure about names). opening with a little neg and tease,.... It got me over my terrible "approach fear".. in the end I found it silly because I had to jump to all the hoops ,.., and I found it an incredible waste of time. But my personal choices and feelings are mine, so this is not meant as a generic statement. I have changed lifestyle now, I work out a lot, do a lot of self-study/reading. I have no time for clubbing whatsoever.

It can be hard to convey to people (if you go the selfthought route) in the beginning when you have no references what your skillsets are. What helps is to do like maybe a webpage with a list of what book you read and what kind of stuff you figured out yourself. So people can get a feel for what you do, and of course there is reddit and freenode irc (channels #javascript, #linux, etc etc). Massive amounts of senior people there and also some job postings (not much but sometimes I see them).

Elon Musk Designed Own School for his 5 Kids
SigmaTau replied to Canoe_Captain's topic in Current Events
Mja, school can be pretty dull sometimes, but depends on schools and teachers,.., I think the whole schooling thing hasnt changed much for the past 130 years orso... Many people do great without institutional schooling, the polymath Oliver Heaveside was selfschooled (he hated school and dropped out of uni) and Lord Kelvin was home-schooled, (((in much the same way as Elon is schooling his kids.. copy cat maybe))) Ah and of course the wright brothers were self-thought engineers. Werner von Braun was a mediocre student until he got the passion for rockets. Just to name a few of the top of my hat -
It is interesting article,.., maybe this is true for american situation? I dont know, the country is not explicitly mentioned. I dont remember being thought pre-cooked answers, or "tricks" but milage may vary

Pope says it's OK to spank kids, if their dignity is kept
SigmaTau replied to Alan C.'s topic in Peaceful Parenting
