I wonder what will happen when the feds end subsidies for solar panels and electric cars. I might start optioning Tesla stock, judging by what the new presidential administration will probably do.
OLED is pretty cool now. But the aging is still there. We all know the real reason Apple wants OLED- a new feature that conveniently dies within a few years, or looks awful anyway.
Britain has ceded their position as ruling the waves. The US Navy is by far the dominant naval force in the world, now that other major powers have significantly reduced equipment and the fact that Russia has never had much interest in naval development.
Really, though, this is part of a massive problem- Europe has military forces hardly suited for the smaller, middle eastern wars, let alone enough to ward off Russia. Europe does, in fact, need a military, and it might very well find out soon now that the new presidential administration seems uninclined to continue the massive overseas American military presence, and also seems likely to push that NATO countries actually spend their mandatory 2%.
All over Asia these days. The pricest components, eg SoC, RAM, and storage, are fabbed somewhere in Asia, if I recall the location of TSMCs foundries correctly.
Considering that Foxconn is firing their workers for robots, it wouldn't change prices or employment dramatically.
It would however wreck the already precarious Chinese economy, and quite possibly the country as a result, especially with the 20+ million extra young men and exploding older population.
Usually, before a depression, minor panics and a general slowdown occurs, followed by some more initial warning signs.
Within a year or two, it's very likely that we will see the real Chinese crash happen (perhaps if the new president gets his way on some of his policies).
Which is really putting China in a bad place. They need a war soon, or else all the young men with nothing to do might take matters into their own hands.
In today's world, you don't have much of any privacy on the internet even disregarding state agencies.
Now, as for flight security, it has more to do with the idiocy and paranoia of the TSA than anything else.
There are things that are good but not right and things that are right but not good, at least in the area of constitutional law. To take a couple of recent examples: It was right (in a constitutional sense anyway) to pass Obamacare, but that doesn't mean it was a good law. And say, the line item veto might have been good- but it wasn't right.
Don't ever fall into the mistaken belief that just because something is good, it is constitutional, and just because something is bad, it is not.
It's a unique situation, where government would work, provided that they didn't have an oppressive permit process.
Most of the poles and some towers are owned by localities, and most of the remaining poles by government owned utilities. It would just be shifting everything to an easier and national process.
The US and close allies control more or less the entire semiconductor business. There's no worry of say, China or Russia, competing anywhere in the foreseeable future.
The government actually backs up these organizations with regulation. New ISPs struggle against incumbent operators. If we can get rid of cable regulations, cable and phone line monopolies and actually bring in fair competition, we can revitalize the industry overnight.
Actually a good first step would be nationalization of telephone poles and cell towers. Then allow open access and boom, things are much easier for ISPs.
There's trying to represent everyone, and then there is tokenism. I get the feeling that Hollywood has moved far into the latter- I suspect LGBT people occur more often in Hollywood than the ~2% of the population that is such, for example.
Eh... Not so good in the long run. Frankly, I would drop wind altogether. Expensive, with a short lifetime, wildly unpredictable and also eyesores. Solar looks pretty good, with a 20 year + lifetime.
A sane renewable policy has to be based on primarily nuclear and hydro, both high yield and with infrastructure lifetimes of over 75 years, even though they have a slightly higher initial cost for construction.

Mikrotik. The best wifi networks however rely on Ubiquiti APs and a wired router, but the best single solution is mikrotik for home use.

Until a human compatible antifreeze is discovered, cryogenics is a waste of time and money. Unless future humans want piles of mush.

Can we all admit that coffee tastes awful?

Go for Carbon Dioxide over Nitrous Oxides. Definitely.

A soda a day keeps the insulin far, far away.
Especially since everyone not rich or poor left California.
I am shocked at people assuming a Clinton victory. This has been a very volatile election and a significant polling error should have been expected.

I never said that. It was clearly SoundShopped in.

It's more a money concern. If the US dropped a few billion they could build a 1000 petaflop machine in a few months.

Let's face it: film executives are the worst things to ever happen to the quality of the industry, and Star Trek in particular.

I'm mostly talking about the primary where the candidate who fundraised the most and had establishment backing failed miserably.
