  1. We need more EV's Sturgeon's wind turbines cost UK £90m a year - to stay SWITCHED OFF http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/734688/Nicola-Sturgeon-SNP-approved-windfarm-is-shut-down-after-two-weeks In the latest blunder in Ms Sturgeon’s “critical” energy policy, a plant with 11 wind turbines was shut down after just two WEEKS because they weren’t needed. Energy customers have already funded £10,000 in subsidies to keep the 110 metre-tall turbines on Assel Valley Wind Farm in Ayrshire switched off due to an energy surplus– after opening on October 28. Express.co.uk can reveal Ms Sturgeon's Government, who intervened to grant the application of the wind farm 30 miles from her home town, has overseen the approval of upwards of 200 large scale Scottish onshore wind farms. Of these no less than 36 have been paid £248m since 2010 and £87.8m in 2015 alone from customers to switch off. -------------------------------- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/04/06/national-grid-pay-power-plants-shut-summer/
  2. Thanks for the input and that's what's been published let alone what hasn't. In narrow field AI is better at than humans at most things work wise, however not on a board scale ie alphago couldn't tomorrow run a bus schedule or note the ingredients for a kids pack lunch without training.
  3. That's great news at least, straight forward fix.
  4. Gutted pal!!! I have space for a second car do that's what I choose, a beater for the daily grind and the zed for fun.
  5. To be fair it is only in the early stages and will only get more accurate. The above is just child's play and no doubt crime prevention is on the cards as the main goal with the data analysis of crime and an individuals background, movements, travel patterns and social activities. For me the concept isn't that scary, however the fact that the system can be manipulated is.
  6. A person's sexual orientation doesn't phase me at all I don't think, however the real world implications could be huge. This type of data analysis and crime hot spot data, does seem a step further towards minority report. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/sep/07/new-artificial-intelligence-can-tell-whether-youre-gay-or-straight-from-a-photograph
  7. oops sorry fella, should have checked better'ra
  8. I don't watch MCM, but got sent this so of course will follow the build. hhhmmm equal length long tube goodness. https://youtu.be/yyAGsD110tY Please delete the other clone threads, not sure why that happen.
  9. hhmmmm gauge with 9000rpm
  10. Id rather the baby V8 DB11, even if it has turbos *sad face
  11. Not sure if repost........ https://tallbloke.wordpress.com/2017/06/19/study-tesla-car-battery-production-releases-as-much-co2-as-8-years-of-driving-on-petrol/amp/
  12. Yes like the forgot 911 in some respects too
  13. Supply and demand masters!!!! My fav this (side of the 918) is still the GT2 RS, just a monster.
  14. Yeh good that you stuck at it, many would have given their local Nissan garage an hours labour for the privilege
  15. They need to be straight on that FR then!! Does to be fair sound like a near perfect entry 911 for the 991.2, not that a base Carrera isn't amazing to drive no doubt.
  16. Just needed to be carried out on a warm engine x
  17. I agree reads like a mini GT3, like what Quicksilver was for the GTi range within the Peugeot family. The T part made me shake head, as the spec didn't say Touring to me. Maybe 911 FR *Fast Road, damn you Seat range.
  18. Now I love all things 911, however this version makes no sense. The 911 T *T for Touring has less kit than a standard 911 entry level car, used lightweight materials, shorter gear ratios and yet is called Touring? For touring you want longer gears, more equipment, more sound proofing for less road noise surely. I understand it's appeal over a entry level 911, but not with a name Touring?? Just seems like a new car for new car sake. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/porsche-911-carrera-t-revealed-pared-back-variant
