"Transmission seems to solve almost all the problem with getting renewable energy to match demand."
So why do Greens protest against transmission lines by reflex action, including those built purely to bring renewable sources to market? Examples are Sunrise Powerlink and the German Stromautobahn.
Cultures learn from each other all the time. The politically correct terms for this process are:
Colonialism - a poor society learns from a wealthy society. Appropriation - a wealthy society learns from a poorer society. Stealing - a wealthy society learns from another wealthy society that has not deigned to apply its own inventions.
I say, Go China! Mankind needs to see this craft fly.
Amazing to think that US civil forfeiture laws apply even if the alleged crimes were committed by a German/Finnish citizen, living in New Zealand.
This is why I think that corporations and individuals that hide money overseas to avoid taxation are justified on purely moral grounds. A justice system that has to steal rather than allowing due process to determine guilt and financial liability has lost its right to govern. It exercises power when it sees the opportunity, and its opponents exercise stealth. I no longer see the difference.
Because those Mothrrs Against marches in places like Marin County are all Republicans, right? I'm not sure that a Repubkican has ever been to Marin County.
I'll give you an example. Our newfound ability to make specific changes to the genome of an organism, rather than blindly firing the hybridization shotgun and hoping for better results next time, gives us a whole new technique for growing better food and treating human disease. Why are today's leftists reflexively against it? They were 't in the time of Franklin Roosevelt.
"...now we're in this era where "leftist" is unanimously used as an insult and the US is about to elect President Trump, all progress is going out of the window...."
If the left started supporting scientific progress once again, they wouldn't be marginalized. Engineering creates jobs.
I'm not sure how the $1000 figure breaks down in detail, but I'm sure it would apply to someone you know who is out of work and has been, say, whacked by balance billing and loses his home and savings to the hospital's collection agency. Such a person could stretch $1K over two years by bunking with someone he knows and doing odd jobs for food.
These are not the people you see on the street. Most homeless are mental cases who wander aimlessly all day in between bouts of screaming at passing traffic, and then pass out on the sidewalk for whatever sleep they can get. They would have no idea how to productively use your thousand dollars if you handed it to them in small bills.
". Similar domain names have been a scam vector for so many years"
Antivirus programs themselves are a similar scam vector. When you download one of them, you have to make sure it's not one of those identical-looking clone of MalwareBytes or AdAware that actually spreads malware.
The problem with the Christianity-has-been-just-as-bad argument is that it applied centuries ago, in a time that for exactly that reason we call the Dark Ages. Islam is having its dark age right now, and is in serious need of a Reformation. This has to come from within.
Not Islam in general, but the death cult interpretation of it being pushed by the Saudis. Read up on the story of Sayyid Kutb, the influential Egyptian imam who also pushed this movement along and as an aside, founded the Muslim Brotherhood. You'll find out why the Egyptian military had to round them up and shoot them to avoid the fate of Syria and Iraq.
The problem with Sanders wasn't even that he was a socialist. Socialism is like bubonic plague in that you can still find pockets of it of you know where to look, but it no longer has the power to kill millions.
The problem was that when Sanders got nice and specific on the issues, he spouted hogwash. Look at his energy plank: no nukes and no natural gas, at the same time as we're going to required to assume the worst about carbon emissions.
Until AIs write the news, it's natural for media sources to be biased. But the reason that we of the dark side get our news from the Internet is that at least it offers a diversity of bias.
"Do you think the nuke card should be taken off the table? Why?"
Keeping the nuke option open isn't just for Trump. The Democrats would use them if they suspected that our adversary is planning a copyright violation.
And atorvastatin is a generic, formerly Lipitor. The new monopolist strategy is to game the governmental restrictions on supply to raise the US prices for drugs which are generic worldwide. This was exactly Shkreli's strategy.
What's new is use of the dark web, heretofore the domain of meth dealers and hitman agencies. When the federosaurus fined Google half a billion dollars (yes, billion with a B) for the crime of letting Canadian pharmacies advertise low prices to US customers, they set the stage for this. Now that places like Sun City are filling up with the generation that grew up dealing on black markets for recreational drugs, it won't be long before the bridge club installs a Tor node.
The iMac is still Apple's best deal if you don't need full computer capability on the road. In my corporate days I carried the big MacBoh Pro everywhere. Today I get more power for less with the 27" iMac plus an iPad Mini. No more airport and hotel hassle that goes with carrying an expensive laptop around, and in any case the 17" MBP is no longer made.

...and yet all the gains we get from battery improvements will continue to be squandered on yet more and more layers of JavaScript.
But if your laptop could use a pumped storage lake for backup power, it could finally run Javascript efficiently.
The 'life as we know it' proviso is not a claim that all life is Earthlike. It's a search simplifier.

Maybe we wanted a microkernel, but we're getting Windows 10. With all the viruses.

And if they were able to develop such an AI, it would be the greatest investigative weapon against terrorists the world has ever seen.

Yes, I doubt it. People get murdered all the time.
Especially in Dindu City.
Wait until the retired start using the dark web to get prescriptions filled from 'virtual Mexico' nationwide.
