Considering nobody here will have money, due to being unemployed, why would they want to sell their products here?
In general, in order to be successful at trade, you have to maintain a fine balance between the extremes of protectionism and the derelictions of "free trade". Not to say our policies are perfect, but just slapping down tariffs won't end well.
(On this bill itself, I'm undecided... it sounds like a simple solution, but then... there is a saying about simple solutions. The bill probably is a bit more finessed than the description, though.)
This is a silly argument you are making. Compliance to legal and policy requirements do not have to be validated by the enforcing agency. If they did, we'd have to hire people to stand in your driveway and check that your seatbelt was buckled every time you drove off.
It's a heck of a lot less energy than liftoff from earth.
You'll note that Rosetta was able to get it's relative velocity to its target comet down to about 775m/s using gravity assist maneuvers This compares to 11,200m/s for Earth escape velocity.
The real question is whether propellant can be manufactured on the mined object (an excess quantity of which, in fact, may be the whole reason to mine) Also the large timescales for efficient transit will make the economics interestingly slow.
burdening the generation at its peak earning potential with caring for aging parents
Those aging parents are why you have as high an earning potential as you do now. They invented, built, and maintained the very society that did such things as preventing you from being murdered in your crib by roving bands of savages and giving you pernicious worldwide communications capabilities. Many still have wisdom to contribute even in senescence.
Basically the Republicans were no help at all, because their leadership and lobbyist horde made them tremble in their boots and stay in line, and the margin was so slim in the Senate that some of the more conservative Democrats were able exert outsized influence.
It almost went completely belly up when Scott Brown won Kennedy's old seat. Had that not happened, or had even one Republican dared to cross the isle, the law would quite possibly have been better. Two.. maybe even better than that.
Anecdotally I happen to know one person for whom both the ACA and new therapies (they totally replaced his white blood cells with healthy clones) did work out.
Or in other words, "attributed largely" does not mean "attributed entirely", and it is worth the the time to know where the rest came from.
There's evidence of impact of nicotine itself on lung cell structure. There is not evidence that it is responsible for "most incidence of smoking-related cancer" he's talking out his ass... the role of other chemicals is very well documented.
Minerals mined here on Earth are cheap on Earth (minus shared environmental costs, of course). Given the cost to launch them into orbit, they are not cheap in space. Minerals mined on an asteroid would quite likely be much cheaper in space than those lifted from Earth's gravity well. (Also, one might find an asteroid with some rarer elements or chemicals, and "mining" an Asteroid might also be known as "hollowing out an asteroid for use as a colony, base, or port.")
Granted, the up front investment required is quite daunting.
The trick is to nudge it slightly in just the right way to use more massive bodies to cause it eventually (after much ping-ponging) to come coasting into an orbital trajectory. Which, given we are dealing with an extinction-sized chunk of rock, would have to be done very, very carefully with lots of safeguards.
Of a dozen or so middle-aged friends, only one has any problem watching 3D. Surveys seem to say only 14% of the population has this problem.
This round of 3-D had a few suckage points... I wouldn't blame any single one but they add up as to why it really "failed":
1) Too many competing standards for glasses, most glasses not fully tunable and many statically tuned for a specific model of TV. Use of crappy IR instead of RF... one well standardized Bluetooth broadcast frame was all they needed to do, but they didn't.
2) Glasses bulkier than necessary. Few good options for clip-ons to prescription glasses.
3) No minimum standard on pixel refresh rate... lots of low-quality ghosty sets. Would have been better timed to come out when DLP sets were not a waning market.
4) Failure of console game industry to utilize side benefits (even on PS3, next to no SimulView support)
5) Failure of TV/glasses manufacturers to do the same (two shows one set/earphones)
6) Failure of cable operators to integrate 3D content on normal channels rather than premium dedicated channels or the free 3D demo channel broadcasting the same nature scenes over and over.
7) Failure of online services to make 2d and 3d the same digital product so you didn't have to choose.
8) Segregation of sensitive audience members... even to this day, theaters do not seem to offer 2D glasses so a party with one sensitive person can go to a 3D film.... you'll notice the lack of "true 3d" where you can "change your perspective" does not make my list. I literally know nobody who actually minded the "viewmaster" effect... just seems to be some very noisy individuals here on this thread.
Don't worry, I'm sure Pruitt will let all sorts of stuff into your water supply so you can have a job to feed your two-headed kid and the one with the webbed fingers.
They've been forced to start caring due to environmental riots over the last decade or so. It'll take them a while to overcome the economic inertia, but they'll get there.
Because we oppose growing food (corn) and then mandating that we use it as a motor fuel (alcohol)?
Most environmentalists don't view this as an optimal solution either, FWIW.
Or because we figure that there just might be issues competing with the rest of the world economically if we persist in mandating the use of renewables when the rest of the world doesn't?
Well, not China, apparently, and there might be issues if we don't as well, considering the lifetime cost of renewables is about to go under that of fossil fuels, and already is in markets we could be exporting renewable energy products to.
Because we believe that market based solutions to these issues are more efficient than government interference though oppressive regulations?
There we go, we have a winner. Dumb faith in mythical "market based solutions" certainly qualifies as dumbass.
From glossing through the article what they are doing is leveraging memristors... a high level way to look at it is they can write two values in sequence to a memristor without clearing it in between writes and it adds them because the values accumulate in the analog state. But there's some scheme to deal with carrying between memristors layered on top, and they also leverage the ability to write one word to the low side of the gate simultaneous to writing the other to the high side Not an entirely new idea (ISTR briefly considering using capacitative cells for a volatile version of this way back in my college CSE days but deciding the TAs probably wanted me working on easy binary digital stuff in a VLSI layout lab, not seeing how far I could push SPICE off the cliff before it falls), but they have shown it in a memristive technology already used in next-gen memory cells, so their argument seems to be, hey, turn the memory pulse level/timing control over to the user and/or build in some canned timings that don't just set values for storage and these sticks could be more than just memory.
It's usually interference from neighbors, or in some cases, due to mistakenly firing up more "APs" which you are not using (like the new comcast cable box.)
There's a limit to the number of beaconing SSIDs on a channel before things start to go to crap, and it's about 4, because the beacons have to transmit at the lowest common rate, and in the case of home networking, you often are stuck on 2.4GHz with some ancient 11b devices like that "classic" Wii.
Keep the Cat5e. There are good odds it will run 10G just fine, and if not, there are adaptive-speed standards coming onto the pro market now that can shave off a couple GB of bandwidth to make older wire work.
I'm still left wondering whether the decision to put a leap second on the night tech support staff are most likely to be over halfway through a bottle of JD was A) some intentional attempt to catch edge cases where leap seconds happen during a year change or B) some tinfoil conspiracy where we'll find out billions of dollars were stolen from a system where that particular edge case could be exploited or C) just made by people so socially isolated that they don't realize just how hard it is to fix crashed boxen over a crappy 3G connection in a dive bar bathroom using a phone covered in some chick's vomit while trying to keep down that pretzel you just washed down with sparkling water.
Another interesting non-battery one one, though it's more economical/efficient when co-located near certain chem industrial processes like oxygen production.

Well... I suppose that might work with kickbacks... which might be easier to get away with in the near future.

They kill all your existing cells and transplant the cloned stems, some of which migrate to the bone marrow and become the source of future supply.

So if fewer people are dying of cancer, it should mean that more people are dying from other causes.
Opiate overdose.

You just have to do it with your head already in there. And then push real hard.

Aren't you guys supposed to be experiencing cognitive dissonance over your loyalties to fossil fuels about now?
Seriously, one afternoon, a power drill and a crimp tool. How hard can it be?
I'm still left wondering whether the decision to put a leap second on the night tech support staff are most likely to be over halfway through a bottle of JD was A) some intentional attempt to catch edge cases where leap seconds happen during a year change or B) some tinfoil conspiracy where we'll find out billions of dollars were stolen from a system where that particular edge case could be exploited or C) just made by people so socially isolated that they don't realize just how hard it is to fix crashed boxen over a crappy 3G connection in a dive bar bathroom using a phone covered in some chick's vomit while trying to keep down that pretzel you just washed down with sparkling water.
Until that happens, neither government incentives nor carbon taxes make much sense.
That's sort of like saying we should have waited for business interests to build us a road system. Incentives is part of what got us to this point.
