How People Drive in India

reed says...

Looks pretty normal and unexciting to me. Not any different from any busy city in the US at a place with no light. Now if everyone was going 50 MPH, *that* would be worth watching!

Why so many people dislike the police

reed says...

That cop sounds scared to me! It's all about a culture of fear, isn't it.

I hope he enjoyed his little adrennelin rush from yelling at a couple of skinny kids.

FSOL is brilliant, and the core of their music has always been about creating a musical environment in your living room and your head.

Pointer Fun with Binky

reed says...

Interesting discussion of the logical concept.

But especially since they're using C, it would also be nice to explain why it works like that, it's quite simple. Binky's wand of pointer assignment isn't actually magic, it just copied an address (an integer number, just like the pointees) from the x variable to the y variable. Each pointer could also be a clay ring that holds a value, but it's an address for the "pointee". I guess Binky exploded because the uninitialized pointer int *y happened to be pointing at his head

Nevada Solar One Solar Power Station

That's a lot of aluminum. Aluminum requires a lot of electrical energy to refine or to recycle. Based on the one engineer's comment about 130,000 MWh per year, though, it will take about half a year for this plant to output the amount of energy required to refine that much aluminum.

["On an average Indian smelters consumes 15000 KWH to 16500 KWH per ton of aluminum as against 14000 to 14500 KWH per ton consumed by global smelters" (http://www.indiainfoline.com/sect/alum/ch07.html). So a highish average to use for an approximation might be 15 MWH/Ton, processing about 1500 tons, requires 52.5 GWh.]
