Even then, there's no reason to control what people should make movies about at all. There could be a reason to control what people do in the if they're filming in the United States. For example you can't be filming in the United States and commit actual crimes, like robbing a bank and then filming it in order for a movie.maybe you could open up yourself to problems by filming a movie about specific actual people who are not what they call persons of famous people. But these may be civil claims I see torts, rather then criminal claims.

As necessary about the water filter ration system on the ISS, it turns yesterday's coffee into tomorrow's coffee. Seriously though I am in LA and they're such focus on water efficiency of the people are seriously thinking of this.
average home averages 1KW load --> 24kwh/day. Nissan Leaf (and similar smallish EVs) has a 24kwh battery. if a home charges 2 cars, then the load triples. that's for a single family home. Now what about an apartment building that may have 100 vehicles parked? How much electricity will they use?
The beauty of electricity is that it can be generated in a number of different ways. Even though the majority is now generated by coal and gas doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

the exact same thing is true for hydrogen. hydrogen electrolysis scales incredibly well. when you build a station you buy electroloysis units with all of the balance of plant in a standard size shipping container, so it's literally electricity in, water in, high pressure H2 out. Then you can stack these things in as many as you need and have room for. It's stupidly simple.
Most H2 today is from NG, but it's used in industrial processes, mainly refining (it's easy to make H2 at a refinery, since you have a bunch of NG you need to offgas anyway!). Most transportation H2 is on-site electrolysis.
I don't know why you think H2 sucks balls for range. A Nissan leaf only gets 80 miles range. H2 can get 300+, at which point it's whatever range works best for the customer.
there's not much additional needed to make green hydrogen. Buy renewable electricity for your hydrogen station rather than dirty electricity, and your done.
>Using current hydrogen production technologies, there simply wouldn't be enough hydrogen to power all-hydrogen transportation.
you're forgetting that H2 has been used for decades for industrial processes, and the market for industrial H2 is >>> transportation H2 by several OM. There's plenty of room to scale up hydrogen transportation production.
I don't understand your perspective and focus on pollution issues. right now most industrial H2 in US is made from NG, but most transportation H2 is made from on-site electrolysis. If it's made from electrolysis then it's mostly made from NG, coal, or nuclear anyway. any EV is also powered from NG, coal, or nuclear as well. You could say that well EVs can be powered by renewables, then I can say that as well about hydrogen.
it's clear that due to the infrastructure issues there's a much larger critical mass network effect with FCEVs rather than BEVs. This is why Toyota, Hyundai, and others are focusing on specific markets like CA and northeast.
I'd say the biggest problem is your "one ring to rule them all" approach. there's room in the market for both BEVs and FCEVs.
right on many points. logistics companies are savvy, and know how to balance trains, trucks, boats and ships to move cargo most efficiently. Specifically to the GP, it is quite common to see COFC (container on flat car) either single stack or double stack, as well as TOFC (trailer on flat car). The reasons for choosing one mode or another are quite complex, but generally are an optimization of startpoint/endpoint, volume, available infrastructure, short term or long term business, desired price point, desired shipping time, etc.
Also agreed that nobody is going to wait in a terminal parking lot to be loaded on a train. There's a reason containers or cargo moves by train rather than truck. It makes sense when time is not critical. Things can sit in a terminal for a long time, and train movements are notoriously start-stop.
An exception is the Amtrak Auto Train, which runs nonstop from Newport News VA to Orlando FL. the idea is you drive your family and bratty kids to VA, then load up on the train and enjoy the train ride, then when you reach Orlando get your car again and drive to disneyworld. TBH it doesn't make sense to me but according to !w "The Auto Train had the highest revenue of any long-distance train in the Amtrak system."
the endpoint infrastructure is a PITA and nobody wants to pay to install it. But it is a trivial problem compared to the massive challenges if EVs were to get 50%+ vehicle share. it's the mainline distribution that's an issue. Expanding the electrical grid feeder for a residential block where the block energy use goes up 10x? then this happens throughout a city? extraordinarily expensive and difficult.
While there would be similar energy demands if we were 50%+ hydrogen (like Japan plans to be), you would only need to provide the electricity or NG to specific endpoints (H2 stations), not to hundreds of thousands of endpoints throughout a city.
I very well may be incorrect, but the difference between a $300-cash dedicated music player or a $600-cash multifunction smarthphone that plays music well enough versus a $1200 device that just plays music is a pretty steep curve to ask while the former options, with high-end headphones, are already available.
what good is a high-end set of headphones if you don't have a clean signal to listen to? If you spent a lot on headphones, then you got them to listen to high quality music.
All that remains in-question is the quality of the audio reproduction in the DSP in the smartphone itself, but since the advent of computer-based sound at 44KHz, 16-bit with the sound cards of the mid-nineties, the differences between low-end sound and high-end sound have been very, very hard to differentiate.
dude, you are SO not an audiophile. go into a high-end speaker store and ask them what the difference is. They have the gear and the setup to show you.
It's a valid product. It's a valid music player. China says it's about $0.10 to add such function to your consumer electronic.
The product's capabilities decide whether it's $1200 valid, and they're delivering three-figure at best.
the audiophile market is a weird place... you can pay $100k for a pair of speakers. seriously, the laws of normal economics do not apply. I don't swim in that pool, but for those that do, this product could be highy valued.
why would you say it costs a dime to add the function to a consumer electronic? What kind of oncommon connectors will they be using? Will parts need to be custom-designed for the high quality audio? The DACs alone can get complicated (and bulky). And what about the engineering and marketing costs for a product that will go to a specialty audience? and how much would such an audience pay to get a high-fidelity audio player?
Are you referring to the general release or the beta? i had a problem with the mail app in the first public beta, but that was fixed in the second beta version and more than fixed by the general release.
I haven't tried to sync using iTunes for years. with iTunes match all my songs are synced automatically. Any app purchases in iTunes are pushed to my iphone automagically. what reason is there to ask iTunes to sync?
Because people buy music outside of the iTunes store?
itunes match works for content from the iTunes store, content from amazon, ripped CDs and pirated stuff. It uploads all of your music to the cloud, and then makes it available to download to any other computer or iOS device. Even better, if you upload a crappy 128kbit/s MP3 it will download a high-quality 256bit/s AAC.
It actually works pretty well. Just sayin, people keep complaining about issues that were solved years ago...
what incompatibilities were you finding with your iphone 4. it's true that the hardware has developed rapidly. but that's hardly the fault of the OS. it sounds to me like you upgraded to an iphone 6 because you wanted it.
I agree, apple's beta software has bugs! do they even know what beta software means? google has left products in public beta for years. that's the definition of beta!
it was only recently that apple opened up DPs and public betas. maybe they shouldn't have done that, so people stop complaining?
