So you can either call the plumber to run a water line to the garage and a general contractor to add the necessary vents, so you can install the pricy combination electrolysis cells and high pressure pump and tank (rated for hydrogen) then lose a bunch of energy in the process of splitting the water, or you can use an electric charger. Guess which one is the harder sell?
I see WTOP says it's regulated, and people are up in arms about the cost with more and more avoiding it entirely.
You skipped question two. As for three, try borrowing a book from Barnes & Noble. But I will grant that their coffee is better than Starbucks. Too bad they closed the location nearby.
Actually, all of those are county services here. Meanwhile, none of those would require negotiating 4 million private contracts for land use to clear right of way.
Ok, what is your great solution other than only provide internet service to unpopulated areas? Don't even dare suggest individual negotiations. Just in my subdivision that would require locating about 175 owners (assuming only running lines through half of the yards) and hammering out a suitable agreement. That would include at least one absentee bank that can't be bothered to send someone to mow or clear the plants growing in the leaf compost on the roof.
How about we make the manufacturer either maintain support for the device or release full specs (including source and a sane build environment) to their customers and any signing keys they might need to update the things themselves.
My plan is more fair abnd might keep things out of the landfill rather than filling it faster.
I can sympathize with wanting to structure log data better, but that doesn't justify tying that into a new init. I have reservations due to accessibility as well. It is dead simple to grep text files, to split off older entries and compress them, etc. Unix has excellent tools for that. If all else fails, you can cat it to the serial port and do the analysis on a machine that isn't broken. There is no reason better structuring can't be applied to those so that they become even easier to manipulate.
One reason the early internet had so many different but compatible client and server implementations was that their protocol was human readable on the wire. You could just look at it and tell if it was correct. If something odd was happening, you could connect with telnet and step the server through the protocol manually to see what happened.
I thought the ER's motto was make 'em wait 8 hours, then do an MRI, CT, ultrasound, and complete blood workup, then tell 'em they just have to let it run it's course (and that'll be $5000 please).
Two parallel roads, one private and well maintained that charges a toll, the other a free mess nobody wants to use.
Where? Pictures?
Government approved monopoly wires going into a factory, that is constantly running generators because the utility power quality sucks.
Same questions? And that shouldn't include co-generation where a byproduct of the factory's production happens to be most practically disposed of by running a generator.
People choosing to use Starbucks WiFi over the public library, the latter that most of them are already paying for.
Or more likely, because they want coffee and the library doesn't serve it.
Yours is the path to the police state where all is forbidden unless explicitly permitted. That is not how law is supposed to work. I'm not saying no restriictions of any kind are warranted, just that ham fisted laws will only further degrade the common respect for the law.
Note how the FAA clearly exempted non-commercial flights. Even given that, the courts have moved to reign in the FAA's rules on commercial operation.
For one, it's meant to be shared by the crew, not a personal device. There will be a lot less arguments over what to load, accidental or 'accidental' erasures of other people's books, etc if it is a fixed device. It has what it has, no room to argue.
Because hunting accidents have actually happened and have resulted in severe injury and loss of life, pretty much since the beginning of hunting.
As for strawman, unless/until your proposed law rules out kids toys unambiguously, it's actually fair game. If there are benign uses, it is the lawmaker's responsibility to clearly except them, from the law. Autonomy is probably not a good criterion for that since there is nothing about that that makes the things intrinsically more dangerous (I would say it makes them LESS dangerous).
The disadvantage you face is that these things have existed for a long time (including Jets that can fly over 100MPH) and have an excellent safety record.
You might be surprised to learn that federal law places no minimum age on the possession of a long gun. Some states have their own laws about that, many do not.
Against a kid operating a toy? Get some perspective! And never run for office. I have no desire to live in a society that has a stick that far up it's ass!

What does selling something to a potential (or probable) victim of a crime have to do with it?
Selling the hardware needed to perpetrate the crime to the U.S. government would be wrong though.
Yes, upgrades will be needed, but it's not like half the population will be running out and buying one tomorrow, so it can happen over time.
Now compare trying to come up with affordable and safe hydrogen storage and transportation and making it available everywhere.
Given the cost, I'm expecting there will be time to improve the infrastructure. That's a lot easier than building a completely new infrastructure.
It's nowhere near irrelevant, you have to pay for it. At some point it becomes sufficiently relevant that a gasoline powered car is more economical.

Tesla has a big head start since most homes and businesses have electricity already.
I did no such thing, read the thread again.

I'll be over here not holding my breath.

I hope they win since even though the materials are 'spendy' compared to the big machine, the end user gets the results much cheaper and faster.
Figure out that 'low T' and pretty much all of the other branded 'conditions' are a load of crap?

You can recognize newer subdivisions around here by their wider roads. The requirement is specifically to better accommodate emergency vehicles. :-)
I'm not sure what would constitute an emergency vehicle on residential internet.
That's easy to do when nobody lives there yet. The land was up for grabs and he grabbed it.
That doesn't work so well in a populated area.

More likely there just won't be any services at all.
Compared to the batshit crazy choices from the Rs, sure. Compared to an actual Democrat, no.

I wonder if part of the post war boom wasn't because the little fears just couldn't compete with the very real fear from combat.
