Most people even today won't want to buy a home designed so that you need to turn on the lights in the middle of the day. A home that cools poorly is a much less obvious defect which costs the owner more in utility bills.
Let's face it, the time to fight China on their human and social behavior has past.
When was that time, exactly? The 19th century? That's the only era I can think of when China was weak enough to manipulate. American attempts to play Taiwan (ROC) against China sure didn't bear much fruit, even when we were using China's UNSC seat as leverage, nor did any form of diplomatic protest from the cultural revolution through Tananmen cause any change at all. In fact the only way the USA did manage to influence China was by stopping the saber rattling and opening up trade to help coax them from communism into capitalism.
The US has no power which seems to have been Obama's goal all along.
Apparently he doesn't care about your notion of "power" as much as about economic success. Growing the largest and most stable economy in the world at a rate faster than the rest of the developed world has more tangible benefits than a dick waving contest.
Red shirts don't have terrible aim. They usually hit their target, then discover their target isn't damaged by phasers, and then angry target vaporizes them.
There are Star Trek episodes that deal with corruption in the federation, and even with martial law and a dictator plotting to take control of the federation (DS9: Paradise Lost).
It's like dropping a couple of nuclear bombs on cities: it's okay if you're doing it to end the war and prevent a potentially much larger number of deaths. By blowing up Alderaan, the Empire hoped to end the bloody rebellion once and for all and thus save innumerable innocent lives that would've been lost if the rebellion were allowed to expand to an all-out galactic civil war.
130+ million miles have been logged until this first fatality AND zero injuries, VS. an average of 96 million miles / fatality and large number of injuries in normal cars
Miles are not all equal, city driving is much more dangerous. What's the normal car fatality rate for the kind of freeway driving autopilot does?
Horses are a good idea, but they're not up to the task of driving a car at freeway speeds. A better solution would be to outsource driving. Let your car be remotely piloted by a driver working for pennies via VR in India.
As far as I know, those control-less cars have only been used in parking lots and around their campus. All their street driving is still done with human drivers ready to take control.
It's sick that you're using an article about yet another attack where the victims were mostly muslim, as are the vast majority of terror victims worldwide, to go on your bigoted rant about how muslims are guilty of not trying to stop terrorism. They're doing a heck of a lot more than you are about it.
America supports those who do its bidding. The more you need us, the more we'll ask for. Hey, if you really want America's help, send 100,000 ground troops to Syria for us. Thanks.
Even with the EIC you have to make under ~$10K a year to pay no federal taxes -- and in fact you'll still pay 15% in social security taxes as long as you make $600+ a year. If you tax people making too little to survive, you're simply taxing them into needing more welfare services to survive.
Hint: if you're on Slashdot, you're ALREADY in the "1%", as far as the Planet goes.
It is in fact entirely possible to post on slashdot without being in the 1%. I'm only in the world's top 17% by income and 26% by wealth. I'm not on welfare either.
Literally, we are orbiting the Sun. That's not close - we've never really sent anything to the Sun.
Actually the sun is quite close in terms of the solar system. It's closer than Mars and Venus sometimes -- in fact the sun can be closer than any planet at times. It's also more than 3x closer than Jupiter's closest approach, and we've sent plenty of probes to Jupiter. Problem with landing probes on the sun is it's a little hot.

Most Russians only speak Russian. You think they're going to miss the English-speaking internet?
Either you're unlucky or you have a poor memory. The number of calls I get is dramatically lower since the do not call list.

The bus might be a cheaper solution.

The idea is that instead of you shopping around for a good deal, alexa suggests the item with the largest profit margin and you simply say yes.

Bystanders can do their own evasion, the passenger can't. Makes sense to me to try to protect the passenger in that scenario.
I'm sure if the state covers all expenses involved in raising a kid you'll get plenty of volunteers, no need to draft people.

Persia became [internationally known as] Iran by the Shah's request in 1935. You're talking about when Iran became the Islamic Republic of Iran.
If you live on a farm your most valuable assets are all outside, so a lock isn't going to protect them at all.
Huge dataset you've got there. My '98 Ford hasn't had any significant problems.
Because there's really no chicken fertility crisis, so if they'd wanted 100,000 more chickens they'd have bred them already.
Al Gore and Ralph Nader would like a word.
