I have a few dozen engineers who do all their CAD work on dell laptops that would disagree with you.
Key thing for them was 64 GB RAM and SSD, because when it came to their designs, the CPU was not the bottleneck, it was the RAM and disk speed.
Now, these laptops are quad core w/ HT, and have a gaming graphics card in them. My monitoring software shows they average 30-35 GB RAM dedicated just to autocad 2018.
Coal is already out, it's being propped up by people with dementia who think it's still 50 years ago. Oil has been on it's way out for several years.
The big energy producers have been dumping money into renewables for years because they see hydrocarbons as dying and hard carbons as dead. The only reason they push to keep it running currently is they want to squeeze every last dime possible out of it before it does finally collapse.
If we're not making motion now to deal with it pre collapse, then we'll see an energy crisis unlike any seen before, and we don't have a ton of time before we hit that point.
Do you also have investments in typewriters and telegraphs?
Point is, investment portfolios can be changed, but it doesn't mean we should hold back innovation and doing the right thing because a few people may not move their money in time. Either move your money into something forward thinking, or don't come crying when you lose it.
No, the Nazis were not leftist. Anyone who studied history could tell that.
How could they tell do you ask? Simple - The night of the long knives, shortly after Hitler took power, he ordered the rounding up and execution of all known liberals and socialists. This was before he had a single jew rounded up. His goal was to get rid of the people who would mount a proper internal opposition to his coming attacks on the jews.
The name National Socialism has nothing to do with socialism from an economic standpoint but instead a racial purity, just like the "unite the right" rallies of today where get this: They were flying the nazi flag and promoted them with nazi imagery.
The concept that the nazis were leftist was fabricated in the 70s by the John Birch society, a hard right neo nazi group that was trying to redeem nationalism and make an all white ethnostate. To declare them leftist is a sign that the person making the statement did not study history and should not be listened to in regard to any historical items.
I'm ok with this. I'm also fine with charging other nations users, or charging other nations governments for access to it. I'm not OK with charging taxpayers who already paid for it twice.
It's not free though, the American people already pay for it with taxes. What they're after is a second check so they can steal the tax money, just like they try with every "welfare reform", "social security reform" and "medicare reform"
When someone starts trying to shift costs of tax funded items, you should be deeply suspicious of the person trying to do so. It's never worked for the better of the users or the people funding it.
Trump admin probably wants to use this excuse to put it on a trump hosted server so he can steal that money too, kind of like his now 7 figure secret service golf cart rental fees and his 500 million chinese provided gift in order to promote ZTE.
We're in the most corrupt time America has ever seen.
The American people already pay for this from our taxes. I can see charging outside entities for it, but not a single American should have to pay a second time to access the data they paid to have created.
But she can't control the kitchen of every restaurant she goes to, so a bottle of hot sauce in her purse helps her at least add what little bit she can.
Daily caller is a pretty well known joke among educated people.
Using it in a science discussion is like using mad magazine as a political text book. Yeah, they briefly touch on some parts, but they're still so over simplified or twisted that the kernel of truth they may have has become entirely unrecognizable unless you were the actual individual who wrote the article/comic strip.
Just because something is essential in trace amounts doesn't mean we should flood the air or water with it. The quantities matter, and it doesn't take much to turn the air unbreathable.
They are if they get paid for that advice, because then they're still acting as a lawyer while not being actually a lawyer, and that's a crime in every state
Environmental control costs raise prices of the ore mined from that mine, thus prices were too low for them to stay in business without poisoning the landscape.
The military has had solutions for the later two for decades. Look up agm-129 (ACM)
That missile has design features that solve both. I would know, I've had my hands in them. Optical observation would be the hardest to solve, due to the black paint creating heat that prevents the other tech from working to solve the heat issue properly.
Companies that closed their doors for good, who's products could no longer be sold and who's new rights holders refused to sign an agreement with steam to resume sales. People who purchased that product could continue to download and use it, but no new purchases have been allowed.

You assume Musk didn't release the battery patent for the Teslas to public domain a decade ago (he did)
You also assume that Musk isn't producing the battery packs for several other car manufacturers (he is)

Climate change is solid science, and the way to stop it in this case is tech.
Climate change denialism is a rejection of science, in favor of greed.
Determining a way for humans to survive it's own self created disasters is not "eco-fascist" nor propaganda.

so your argument is "other people use this service we all pay for more than me so let's take the service away"?
I have to say, that's pretty damned childish.
The US has as well ever since it made financial entity transactions part of GDP, something no other nation does.
It kind of does though, by generating 10x its cost in economic benefit
Do you use gps? You use that data
Do you use google maps? You use that data
Do you use any map at all? You use that data
What you describe is not how society or civilization works.
What you describe is called a kelptocrocy and is only performed by corrupt and collapsing governments.

Not the Iranians
Nor anyone with a sense of humanity
Basically, it'll only make people who worship death feel better, and no one else.
As a manager in a right to work state, I will always fire anyone who threatens to unionize immediately.
I hope you do, because this is a violation of the law, and both you and your company will be sued into bankruptcy if you try it.

So is chlorine, but it's still a poison.
So is iodine, but it's still a poison
So is sodium, but it's still able to be a poison.

This has actually happened in the past.

This was well known about 10 years ago when Best Buy admitted as much right after a few high profile child porn arrests that stemmed from it.
Pretty much every IT professional will report you if you send them a computer to work on that's filled with child porn or snuff porn.
