From what I'm seeing online, the Three Gorges Dam in China, looks like it might not need an earthquake or a tsunami, just some floods.

More often wind shuts down because the wind is blowing too hard than it is too little.

I'm going with hypergolic rocket fuel for station keeping and enough lithium ion batteries to keep it powered through maximum eclipse duration of around 72 minutes, especially when either of the above is hit by a micro-meteor.

I'm sure the power loss was to the satellite itself, not a terrestrial power grid and the loss of power resulted in the satellite being incapable of servicing it's customers.

Policing by other users is an invention that was brought to /. by the leftist idiot who calls himself "Cowboy Neal". I know this because he was kind enough to brag about that on Slashdot. The net result is that I no longer visit, except very occasionally, and always with ad block on, so that they don't get to profit from my visit. Slashdot is a cesspool of boring leftists, hardly anything here worth attention. Good riddance!

The telephone. And at grocery stores. And obtained car and home loans. All freely.

Please donâ(TM)t have children. You will sux as a parent.

Government is after these companies for encryption, which the companies claim it is about privacy. But this really should be about security. By using these services, you are nearly guaranteed that end user is who they say. What is needed is for governments to hand out a packet of vetted digital certificates and then use these in various services/applications.

China is pushing massive amounts of effort on AI for industry and military. Doing this should not be an issue. However, these ppl are likely to be a detriment to this. So best thing would be to do a NASA/USAF kind of thing. Split the group into 2 with those that fighting military involvement and put them in a group devoted to industry, pure development while other group continues to do pure development but in all areas including military. For this 2nd group, put in ppl with security clearance.

This has been claimed multiple times over the last 15 years, but their goal is 1.75 TW of coal plants. It will return to adding 40-50 GW new coal plants / year next year, if not this year.

NASA should be creating standards for private space. Not just space suits but even docking, sat capture, etc is a mess.

There's basically no straightforward solution without specifying punctual conditions as the spacetime reference frames differ in so many ways. General relativity is a bitch.

The country is very good, that's why everybody wants to come here. I was born outside of the USA and I immigrated to the USA because USA is much better than my country of origin. Of course, USA has its share of problems and will always have its fair share of problems. However, from my personal experience, USA are the greatest country on the Earth.

It used to be that we had intelligent ppl and postings on /.
Nuclear power plants do NOT have hires in their cooling towers, ESP. BLACK ONES. Only idiots bought off on this.
They burned a bunch of tires in the cooling towers to play to the anti-nuclear idiots that run around in the west, so that do not pay attention to things like Ukraine taking a chunk of Russia.

Funny leftist conspiracy theories, typical for Slashdot. Mueller didn't find anything actionable. This one is particularly funny. What does Federalist Society have to do with Tesla? Does Federalist Society own Tesla? The rot goes really deep, I agree. Our president is a senile old oligarch who has been in public service for half a century and has millions of dollars. How did he get rich as a public servant? Yet, that fairly obvious and well documented corruption doesn't bother people nearly as much as Trump's loudmouth behavior. I believe that leftard's are more bothered by Trump's cutting taxes and regulation then by corruption.
