You forget that RoHS was good for china it made no real change to their exports and it was potentially better for their labor force.
Considering that china agreed to is pretty week and heavily skewed in there favor, they will stop emissions growth by 2030. With the US pledging to go down 25% from it's 2005 numbers by 2025. That is not fair nor equitable, it's china getting to say they are doing something in 15 years.
Your thinking that the 3rd world wont gain in their living standard (it has to happen) the system has to account for it. China has huge amounts of foreign debt and will not sit idly by and accept import taxes, if they refuse to roll that over that is a world wide economic crisis. This is pretty much the stick approach.
Current fission has issues related to proliferation, those are fixable issues. The key is making a cheap reliable and safe baseload electric generation that is agile.
That plans has a number of non starters, like cap and trade, sure lets go get the whole world to participate in it. There is no fair way to implement it. If you use current levels current bad actors like china are rewarded. If you use by population again china is rewarded, and the US would be massively penalized.
Prioritizing renewable on the grid means the least agile generators (who are also the cheapest) get the short end.
Government guarantee's for private investment is broken by design, if your going to subsidize rewards they might as well do it themselves as gov capital is cheaper. To do otherwise just pushes business to game the system.
Their plan fails at rapidly increasing the standard of living of a massive amount of the worlds population. To do so we need a LOT of cheap energy production, it's not enough to keep the status quo the third world needs to come up while we keep growth in the first.
Those cost more. This is lets throw something that you can buy on ebay for 50 bucks have it cost 5000 and break all the time. Dont forget were effectively paying for it though the massive subsidies so that long distance rail does not die.
Don't get me wrong putting in 300-600kph trains could do a ton of good for the US.
Check out your average tiny business, often a receptionist who might take email/phone bookings and put them into a web based appointment app on the same machine that is running the cash box and CC reader. Their PCI compliance is check all the correct boxes regardless of reality.
Large providers with a clue already use anycast for DNS. So assuming your ISP does a decent job peering you should never see a google DNS request going from NYC to Chicago outside of a failure of the DNS servers in NYC.
They propose shifting more latency sensitive bits to microwave links. Specifically DNS and TCP Handshakes ya know those top 2 DDOS vectors. We already have protocols to tunnel through DNS. I'm sure that will go so well.
The problem is they get sold a bill of good they never use. We have smartboard in every classroom, the actual smart portion of them is nearly never used. A projector and a screen would have sufficed just fine as that is what the use. Now the smartboard can easily cost 10x what the projector and screen does.
It's pretty much the same with anything technical, school see huge markups often when the bidding is limited to approved vendors for this or that matching grant.
Get a cell phone plan that does not suck, my Son's costs me all of 72 a year + his use which is a rounding error. (ting BTW great company).
Cell phone give a level of communication and thus freedom. Preteen is an important age to start riding bikes to friends go with friends to the park etc. Basically lots of things where the parental involvement takes a step back.
Muni's should make a level playing field. We have the tech to do it, a single fiber per home/business (ok maybe more for business) can with cheap passive gear provide 8+ different connections (bidirectional CWDM). So the muni's role is the physical plant they provide a point for all comers to connect possibly a L2 network for others to build upon and to provide baseline services.
Part of all that is to stop thinking in IPv4, it's trivial for a town to get enough IPv6 IP's to hand out/64 or greater to everybody. That makes it trivial for a single firewall to connect up multiple networks and route correctly. So you might end you with a muni network the connects muni services, schools etc etc. Your ISP who may or may not bundle cable phone etc but you could get IP based phone/cable from others and still have 4 free CWDM bands for later expansion.
I used to have to fight to get a sleeper car on the overnight train from nyc/boston to chicago. Compared to a late booked redeye it was cheaper but took 10 hours longer. For me it get me to city center for 8:30 leaving at 7pm but I was well rested, had a good dinner/breakfast and I was showered and ready to go.
Clapam junction was a signaling failure, anytime that the trains breaking distance is further than it's sight line this is a possibility. I'll give you a hint rarely is a trains sight line further than it's stopping distance.
They should have been fired, arrested, tried, and hopefully convicted. The prosecutor's office works daily with the cops they are unable to oversee them being far to close and familiar.
A tray implies that it's sitting screen up pretty much parallel to the ground. Thats fine for listening to music and voice commands. It's horrid for GPS or passenger infotainment where you want it mounted to the dash, headrest, seatback, etc.
Granted car companies love selling GPS nav and infotainment packages for a couple k that are outdated in a few years.
100mph is to slow, trains are irrelevant because they can not complete due to their lack of speed. Pretty much the rest of the developed word has high speed rail while we lack to political will to deal with the nimbly's. Trains will continue to be irrelevant until they become competitive price/time wise.

Probably the best thing they can do is throw resources at it, hire an existing dev to do it full time sort of thing.

Will the make a nexus 4 or 5 since a 6 is to fsking big to be useful and costs 2x as much.
Purchasing it at retail rates sure as hell is.
Bring back hypercard

Public figure perfectly acceptable, they accepted this when they took a public job. Posting their home info etc would be improper.
XFS for starters it's the default nowadays on rhel/centos.
If your running a brand spanky new kernel, with data you do not care about why an old FS. Plenty of newer better FS's to choose from.
OTP is 1 bit encryption just a very strong 1 bit.

Because their solution was powershell with it's own nonstandard remote interface.
