fwiw, he posted yesterday that he found out a couple of examples were faked by collusion between some neighbors. He apologized profusely, and he realizes what kind of hit he has taken. I didn't bother with the vid once I saw there were some fakes.
I wonder if you have native milkweed there. In SoCal I probably have tropical. I just pulled up a few yesterday, having independently decided not to let them grow during winter. Karma, man, thx for the post.
On a slightly different point, it appears that in ancient Greece failed aristocracies led to tyranny (in the canonical definition of the term). What do failed oligarchies lead to I wonder?
Meanwhile Germany - with the largest uptake for wind and solar - has some of the most expensive electricity in Europe.
This is because Germany made a political decision to adopt wind and solar years ago, way before it was economical to do so.
Here is the way you should do it:
1. Develop tech that works. 2. Deploy it.
Germany did it the other way around.
1. Seems like their tech did work. 1a. Many/most things are expensive until they're scaled up for production. 1b. Waiting until things are cheap means some things never go to production.
2. Having deployed said working solution, does this give early adopter benefits? 2a. Skills and knowledge should allow entrepreneurship to provide economical benefits. 2b. This can be exported to other places that did wait for prices to come down.

I guess he's opted for the daring adventure.
Have.....to......resist! I........must not....be........a grammar Nazi!
Whew, that was hard. OTOH, +1 informative.
I just find it hilarious to watch you Americans bitch about a paltry $5B border wall...
Nah, that ain't it. At this point it's basically a dick-waving contest between Trump and Pelosi.
The issue with the wall is not only the cost. If it was, then I'd mostly agree with you.
...does your house have walls? Why?
To keep the roof up.
This is how the world ends. Not in a nuclear explosion but in stupification of people to the point where they can only communicate in memes.
Would you have a car analogy for that?
Hear Hear! Actually, I believe I've seen lawsuits regarding loss of virtual goods. Against WOW or something like that.
Nicely stated.
10 mill here, and 10 mill there--after a while you're talking about some real money.. Carry on, my wayward son.

Do you want to introduce any other highly contentious issues into this discussion about data privacy?
I prefer vi.
To want to ignore the original template for every constitution in the world seems short-sighted.
Maybe it's Canadian, â?
You forget momentum.

Interesting. The Law of Unintended Consequences; or, Where Are We Going, and Why am I in this Hand-basket?
Yeah, I noticed that too. OTOH I often make estimates when I measure things, and a pedant would submit that *all* measurements are estimates.
So you're fine with TBC coming and not following your construction laws. Do they just need to know who to buy off? That is much simpler, I guess.
and strong regulations help keep it that way.
That is such bullshit. How do regulations prop up the vast tech industry there?
Is this what's called "a pivot?"
So you're saying I can eat as many tictacs as. I want without ruining my diet? Awesome!
Yes. That's exactly what he's saying.
That's why I keep coming to /., for the insightful comments.
Well said.

Congrats. Trolled like 15-20% of the posts on this topic. You should get credited for another 50 mills.
Nuck baked.
What? Reagan shut them down.
