Of course, I would grant fair use exemptions as provided by law for such use as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Again, lawyers, publishers and elected officials can hash out the lines between limited quoting as fair use and content theft.

I suggest that any publisher's website (like Google's search results) with a webpage featuring content that is the primary result of the page (featured top of page content) or constitutes 50% or more of the result as summaries of original published news or research articles remunerate the originator of the content proportional to the amount of text published relative to the amount of text in the source publication. The rate of that remuneration can be decided by negotiation between representatives of the content originators and the content republishers.

Well, since they are entertainment websites they will make the content entertaining, right? And that implies writing it with a spin. Identifying your content as humor (legally, as parody) implies this spin, makes it social commentary, and by law grants it an exemption to infringement and defamation cases.

If I pay money to "buy" data (like mp3s, mpeg videos, executable files, etc.) and the license/contract doesn't grant me the right to perpetual use of the data as well as the right to store it locally then I'm simply renting it.
The law ought to mandate that this be clearly indicated within the first sentence of any license or contract.

So is nobody going to question the claim that this delivers 117% power-conversion efficiency? Really??
Please explain this to me, because right now my bet is this is innumeracy, ignorance or wild exaggeration.

Until they kill your ass.

No, it's not. It is corporate welfare with a kickback. Don't pretend it's anything else and don't try to justify it.

Intel has been making terrible corporate decisions for several decades now. In an actual free market it should either solve its problems, sell its assets to others, or be relegated to the scrap heap of corporate history as an object lesson to others of what not to do.

One very damaged, confused, selfish, angry felon of a man.

More proof that dropping out of Harvard doesn't guarantee business success.

I get it. When I read the title of the post I has already guessed that the issue of US comedies is related to international markets.

Comedies rely on common shared experiences, nuances of language, double entendres, idioms, wordplay, cinematic references to famous past movie scenes, mockery of recent events...and a ton of other things that often don't translate well into other languages or cultures. Comedies are often in-jokes for a community or culture and the jokes usually don't land for those on the outside. And uncomfortable topics like sex or politics or religion are often taboo or outright prohibited by other countries.

This is why action/adventure movies are the gold standard for international distribution...they are emotional, straightforward, and not prone to misinterpretation. They are easy to translate to other languages and often have little dialog to be translated. They're like comic books, easy to understand and easy to translate.

Milorganite, a brand of biosolids fertilizer produced by treating sewage sludge by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, is another well-established fertilizer product introduced in 1926 and sold in many garden centers. It has had the same issues as the biochar product discussed in this topic, including issues with heavy metals concentration as well as synthetic organic compounds, radionuclides, and many known carcinogens.

As they say, "Garbage In, Garbage Out."

You are looking for a lot of specific information.
It's out there on the web.
Just look for it.
You can start by going to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) website and looking through all the references and links.
Here is a link to the NREL Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) page for Utility-Scale PV: https://atb.nrel.gov/electrici...

And this is precisely why I saved up money to purchase an existing home, remodeled it, and when the price of PV systems dropped to a price where I could recoup the cost in 4 or less years of generation I made the purchase. It was partially rebated via tax credits. I had been tracking the cost per kilowatt for photovoltaics since I bought a 1.5" solar cell from Edmund Scientific when I was in 6th grade.

I knew that they used these to power satellites and thought that some day they would be cheap enough to power homes. And that hunch turned out to be right. For a few decades I would track the increases in efficiency of the cells and the decrease in cost per watt output. It took a bit longer for the cost to come down than I had expected but it came to pass.

Similarly, I had been tracking the progress of LED lighting as a substitute for incandescent and fluorescent lights, and the conversion to LEDs came a bit quicker than I had expected.

These are mostly solved issues. Microinverters allow each solar panel to output AC that is phase synchronized to the local grid. This keeps a single panel failure from affecting the output of other panels. All modern solar arrays now have extensive monitoring systems that can provide precise output data for monitoring.

And most open rooftops, parking lot canopies with solar exposure, or open space on properties can host PV arrays as do most new schools, commercial buildings, parking lots and apartment complexes in California. I have an 8KW PV system on my home that provides a peak of about 6.5 KWH during the summer that with grid metering satisfies my entire yearly electrical requirements. It paid for itself in under 4 years. My yearly electricity cost is now essentially $0.00.

Utility scale systems are even lower cost per megawatt hour due to economies of scale. Even when you add in battery storage they are already cheaper than the alternatives and have been replacing many of the older gas-fired peaker power plants as they reach their end of life.
