"There are no citizens of the individual states. They are residents, and it is entirely appropriate to judge individual states by their own fraction of GDP"
Yes, that is what I am doing. I'm judging states by their fractions of GDP, instead of judging states by the average resident's output as you suggest. It would be better if you didn't make claims at all, if that's the best you can manage. We also produce about half the food eaten in the USA. You wouldn't starve without us, but it would be boring living on just corn and wheat. And you'd have to eat crops you're currently exporting, which means a further reduction in revenues.
Nuclear power is dead because it is built on lies, and there's no reason to believe that will change any time in the future. It was supposed to be clean and cheap. It is neither. Pointing out that it is cleaner than coal is like saying a serial killer has a lower body count than a war - if you get near a point, make it. The decommissioning costs of nuclear are always much higher than claimed, the fuel is never really managed, and breeder reactors are even more uneconomical than nuclear.
Nuclear power has failed on literally all levels, and it's time to admit your mistake and focus on realistic solutions.
Thanks for this. Every time you see something like this which isn't leading with the news of how efficient the process is, you know it consumes too much energy to be workable. If it were actually useful, that would be the headline.
Toshiba built a laptop with a spinny hinge which is not garbage, the Lifebook T900. You can have combo multitouch+wacom or you can have wacom+daylight, but at the time you couldn't have multitouch+wacom+daylight which was sad. They are super thick by modern standards though, which is probably why they don't disintegrate. They also have a loud-ass fan which eventually warps and makes noise, and it's annoying to get in and replace it. It's less exciting in this era due to Intel Inside, though
These look like a rehash of the old Netbook PC's from the Mid 2000's. Cheap Low End laptops. They had limited success because the economy in 2008 was bad. So people needed a cheap device.
I loved my netbooks at the time, but shortly after that time you started to need large amounts of RAM to surf the web, and they didn't support that. They also don't have hardware to accelerate the video codecs being used today, so they struggle to display full-screen video. I still use some for certain tasks, like OBD-II scanners or what have you.
A quality EMMC is good enough for daily use. In fact, for everyday use I could get away with a good uSD card — we expect the random write performance to vary widely and it does, but we might not expect how much the random readperformance varies. I found Samsung Evo+ to have the best, which jibes with what the above link says. I came upon that information via the Pine64 forums originally, though, not through the raspi community. Supposedly the 16GB (or was it 8GB?) and above models of both the Evo and Evo+ are different from the smaller ones, and have much higher rates.
The big thing they need is RAM. Everyone is wasting boatloads of RAM left and right and you need as much of it as possible. I consider it painful to use a PC with less than 8GB, and of late I've been wishing I had 32GB (I have 16GB in my primary system, 8GB in my backup...)
If the SoC has the PCIE lanes to spare, I'm all for putting a M.2 NVMe module in, but I'd really rather have a super cheap laptop. I just want upgradable RAM, to at least 8GB.
I guess if that's true, then we can ALL kiss goodbye the great things in the US I grew up with....the general culture, etc.
I sure hope so. It was racist and sexist AF.
We can also say goodbye to our rights and hello to massive Federal invasion of our lives and business.
If Trump keeps doing Russia's bidding, that will happen sooner than later.
The radical left have been taking over the Dems, and if they take all 3 branches, say goodbye to anything resembling what made america a free land, and a great country based on the individual.
America is a land of inequality through jiggery-pokery. It's never been a free land, and it's never been based on the individual. In fact, it's based on genocide.
Hmm, but you do have many hatchback cars in the US, often the same as European models.
Hatchbacks are high in back already, the point of a higher trunk is to stop tall vehicles from going right over the top of the vehicle. And they have low trunk floors, as a general rule.
US carriers often (usually?) won't let phones from pay-as-you-go or virtual carriers register unless the phones are a year (maybe two) old. So a newer phone from Total Wireless (a virtual carrier using Verizon's network) can't be registered on Verizon.
That's not how it works at all. It's that US carriers won't SIM unlock those phones for you until they are months to a year old, if then. Tracfone will never SIM unlock anything, for example, but Verizon or ATT or T-Mobile will. Carriers don't care where your phone came from any more, but they do still care where it's going.
Imagine if a credit reference agency had a massive black mark on your file that was a mistake. You would want it corrected, right?
Sure I would. Unfortunately I have to go in person to get my free credit report because identity thieves have been so successful at stealing my identity that even over the phone they won't believe I am who I say I am. Hopefully when I do finally go in they will accept my original BC and SSN as identity, I still have both amazingly. *knockonwood*
Of course, you have different tactics against knives, while... uhh... Hughsnet on cloudy days?
I am on Exede, and it suffers on the rainiest days, but it seems to work OK through pretty much any cloud cover that doesn't include lightning. It would be nice if they would throttle Prime a little less, though. They've clamped it down to the point it doesn't work right. Youtube and Netflix are OK.
The boot (trunk) leaks badly when it rains and while the shape (low and wide) is popular in the US in Europe people prefer a bit narrower and taller.
Well, no. Narrow, tall trunks are the result of legislative interference, in the form of rear impact protection against taller vehicles, and the result of using external hinges to compensate for trunk packaging problems resulting from having to meet these regulations. The external hinges make the trunk opening even more narrow, but stop you from damaging cargo with the hinges. People worldwide prefer trunks with lower openings, but those are difficult to make now and still pass crash tests.
Tesla are also charging owners rather a lot to use their chargers, which is bad because it encourages them to use other chargers which are cheaper but which other EV drivers need.
Doesn't it also provide incentive for other players to build EV charging stations? Why aren't the utilities themselves doing this? Isn't it essentially their job?
California's big government system is so pension-debt riddled that Californians pay more and get less,
California carries a typical debt load (remember, it's the nation's economic powerhouse, so it can safely carry more debt than any other state) and offers its citizens more than other states, which costs more. In spite of that we have laws which protect residents from sudden rises in property taxes. You don't seem to know what you're talking about. To the extent that we don't have things that other states do, it's because California is one of the states which gets back the least from the feds when it pays tax money into the system. Any financial problems we're having are not the result of our social policies, but those of other states whose bills we pay. We are also the tech center of the country, in spite of IBM's long history in NY (and TX.) Without California, the USA would be an also-ran.
Ok, but if you move from CA to TX, PLEASE don't bring your liberal politics that reduce rights,
lol
and raise taxes...
Stuff costs money.
Texas would have been a blue state about a decade ago if not for gerrymandering. The simple fact is that Texas is around half liberals, not just Austin. You're seriously not even paying attention. El Paso is Mexican, they've come around to liberalism of late as Catholicism begins to lose its hold on them, what with the men in dresses raping children and so on. Austin is Austin. Houston has an international medical community attached to it. Dallas is a college town. Every major city in Texas has some good reason to go blue.

Once you control for population, California is only eighth in constant dollars and sixth in current dollars. It is not the economic powerhouse.
That's not how it works. You don't control for population when you're talking about states, only about citizens of states.
Yup this couple of tons dug in a hole are so much worse than the order of magnitude larger amount of pollution produced by burning fossils
False dichotomy. Run along now.

Yeah, that's a good plan with one minor fault - there is no plant in China.

And no decommissioning problems at all when Russia will just let you throw the reactor in a hole in Siberia when you're done with it.
