Mst3k needs rights, so I'm guessing this is a violation.
They do the live stream commentary to get around that at times (as riff tracks live), but the theatre still needs the rights to play the original thing they live comment over (and to their live commentary if it's a stream).
Do your communism numbers include the great leap forward?
Often they do, but that seems unreasonable to include as the same idealogy that is in charge now. China has done a very good job of allowing enough of a market economy to not do that type of thing.
I say this not defending the current or past regimes, but just to clarify if pure command economy is where 100 million of those are coming from, because that's not really present day China.
If elevated lines are easier and cheaper to build (I have no opinion on that), why can't they build them and use skates?
The short bus and smaller sized skates are likely far easier to support and quieter than trains, it's only a matter then if above vs below ground.
From the summary it seems to me the idea if skates is customizable routing in exchange for much reduced throughout vs a train.
I am very skeptical that in practice autonomous vehicles are close to being able to pack the people per linier foot of a busy train line (though wide enough tracks parallel skates could increase that some) especially if they're allowing passenger cars in skates.
The big benefits I see to skates is that busy areas can have wide open (non tunnel) spaces that allow many skates to unload and load without slowing down any other skates (unlike a train blocking the tracks) and probably more convenient routing (never needing to get off and wait for a second skate). Perhaps even vehicle skates could be made expensive enough to use as to disproportionately fund the system.
But my main point was that if skates are so great, why not on an el? Weather I guess?
Could you imagine how much better Vietnam would be right now if instead of massacres, and toxins, and armies rolling back and forth, they instead still had hordes of killer robots fighting?
Or all of the land between Germany and Russia if instead of millions being killed in the war, there were still hordes of killer robots?
Tl;Dr War sucks, endless war with no soldier deaths probably sucks more.
I used this link, which is working with hypothetical future numbers
Why would a plug in hybrid that never has the engine touch the drive train (Chevy Volt) have any worse performance than a pure electric?
And why on Earth would you compare a car that uses gasoline engine to power itself?
What's your argument that you couldn't scoop 2/3 the battery out of a long range Tesla, but a small ICE and charger in there and get a short plug in range, but quick full for long rides?
You're providing examples of nobody trying, sure, but where's an example of anyone failing?
Tesla hasn't done it because they want to do all electic, Chevy hasn't done it because they don't focus on performance (they're also trying to hit mid-range price, and have been building their current model for a couple years vs the more performance model 3 barely being in production), BMWs clearly isn't focusing on performance either (I think it's all electrical drive, but I could be wrong), the Prius Prime is a traditional hybrid (both motor and engine can power the drive train) and is super low performance, but clearly focused on efficiency over those other cars.
They had a purpose more recently than dogs for the general population (post industrial revolution, there were still rodent issues, far less need for dogs for most people).
Chevy volt gets.045 kwh/lbs about half that of the Tesla.
I don't know how much of that is due to chemistry vs technology, but even if we assume Chevy has batteries just as high tech as Tesla, that still gives 54 miles and the same weight reduction.
I'm going to stand by that for now there is no reason to think a daily range (50 or so miles) plug in hybrid would be heavier than a long range (300ish) electric.
With batteries in proving at their current rate, it will become false, but today is not that day.
If the weight scales in the model 3, you could make a 25kwh version that had approximately 110 mile range and have bout 550 for the combustion part and accessories.
I'm not certain that batteries are quite dense enough for your statement to be true.
Tesla model 3 220 miles, 50 kwh, 3549 lbs Tesla model 3 long range 334 miles, 75kwh, 3814, lbs
Range difference 112 Weight difference 265lbs
So a hybrid 108 mile electric range would have 530 lbs to spare vs the long range version. It seems very credible a plug in hybrid could beat the current long range electric vehicles on weight.
Because I don't think there's a great way to make hydrogen (correct me if I'm wrong). Sure, it can be made from hydrocarbons cleaner and more efficiently than a small engine can power (and likely charge) a car, but essentially a hydrogen tank is a quick to charge battery, or it uses fossil fuels, I don't think it'll really take off. Much better (IMO) to have 90+% power grid electric driving, the rest fossil fuel.
I wonder what Tesla could do performance wise if they made a plug-in hybrid, and where the price would fall. My understanding is the batteries are in the realm of 5 figures ($190/kwh, 100kwh battery), if knocking 80% of the battery cut half the price, that leaves some wiggle room for a small engine to charge it, and 60 miles from an overnight charge. The engine and gas may weigh less too.
There's no reason a plugin hybrid can't perform awesome, Toyota just went the route of massive mileage (600 miles on a small tank), and Chevy the route of average (150hp, 270ftlbs torque, comfortable driving around, but 7.5 0-60).
I'm not convinced the math would work out, but I'm too lazy to check.
If we assume Bitcoin will hit a million, 100x it's current valuation in 2 years (that's about 2 years of this year's growth).
Our options are to spend $1/day in electricity for $0.10/day in bitcoin (making a wildass guess that custom systems are 10x more efficient), or invest $1/day.
1) we won't be in the 100 thousands, and in most of the world, even if we were, that would need to be 90% taxed to matter. 2) the anonymity is a fair point, I'd think if it was really as much money as you're talking about though, you'd want it to be taxed so you can spend it, unless you want to buy massive amounts of illegal things with it (I wouldn't want to bet my freedom on tumbling 10s of thousands of USD worth of coins).
Maybe if one always has an up to date gaming rig for other reasons it approaches worth it, but it seems unlikely to me.
I'm liking the plug in hybrid idea a lot more than pure electric personally.
The Prius gets 25, and would probably cover half of my miles (no road trips, and leave me about 15 short on a weekend as I'm often not home). The Chevy volt (at 50) would cover essentially all of my none long distance driving, even a pretty chore busy weekend.
Wither way, there'd be no range anxiety, with half or less the trips to the gas station, and lower cost to maintain (less oil changes, less breaks, I assume an engine running at optimum power band to charge is a happier engine too).
I imagine for the vast majority of people a 50 mile range in a plug in is superior to a 500 range in an all electric, with a huge percentage of the benefits.
The only way I'd see the all electric being better would be if it cost less being simpler, but it seems we're not quite there yet with batteries.
Plenty of people put in a month's recreation over a few months, pulled it all back out, and aren't exposed at all, but have some theoretical money to pull for a vacation or what not.

It sounds like the used the free service, and even discovered new things (4% increase), but pirated where it lacked content.
This seems to say that free service does eliminate piracy, simply that you need it to include what people want.

He actually said 66% or so, I don't know where you're getting 98%.
I think you got that backwards.
The blink happens when recalling shortcuts, even if it's instinct.
I'm not vouching for the truth, but that's what I read.
I think that being nice to people should be assumed, but doing well in school should probably be rewarded.
I wouldn't do my job for free, and if I do it better I get greater rewards, why should school be different?
So there were no armies, agent orange, or massacres?
I wouldn't mind going 120mph and not needing to drive, and avoid some traffic, then finishing my journey in my car.
I use the park and ride sometimes too, but it would be cool for some people to drive-ride-drive if the ride part was more than double car speed.
What?!
This think can only move 1 person/minute?!
It's either going to be extraordinarily expensive, or have a line long enough to make contending with traffic the good option.
This is supposed to compete with trains? This, if it ever gets built will be purely for the very rich, it will do nothing to help with congestions.
I'm too lazy to read all the links, but is that for the shared skate?
If so, that seems really expensive, but if it's $33 and you get to take your car, that seems like a nice option.
If elevated lines are easier and cheaper to build (I have no opinion on that), why can't they build them and use skates?

It sounds like they'll support said ban, and then ignore it for the upper edge.
Not that they'll veto it.

It really isn't.
They hold it easily for a work day, and understand "if you wanna go, you really gotta go now, we're going inside" (if given a code word).
They're even willing to learn to go in less than ideal settings (hard surface).
Try training a cat to only shit when you want it to, and within 15 minutes, on a hard surface.
Cats were very effective rodent killers.
They had a purpose more recently than dogs for the general population (post industrial revolution, there were still rodent issues, far less need for dogs for most people).
The fact that they break the rules as payback mean that they DO grasp it I think.
Note
I used first year volt battery weight, and subtracted 29 lbs, that's the best I could find for the current volt battery weight
I used the differences in my earlier post for the Tesla.
I ignored it because it's wrong.
The Volt uses lithium ion batteries.
Chevy volt gets .045 kwh/lbs about half that of the Tesla.
I don't know how much of that is due to chemistry vs technology, but even if we assume Chevy has batteries just as high tech as Tesla, that still gives 54 miles and the same weight reduction.

Plug in fuel cell, or pure fuel cell?
