Do you think India doesn't have electricity or communications or industry? If the workers can't work in America, they'll have to work in India instead.
America has been importing labour for hundreds of years. In fact almost its entire population came from importing workers. Last I looked, America has been pretty successful under that strategy. Much more successful than protectionist, isolationist, racist China which has an average income more comparable to sub-Saharan Africa than the developed world, despite having huge technological and economical leads several centuries ago.
I don't know what American tech workers hope to achieve by limiting H1B visas. Tech is a global industry, it's not like if these Indian programmers have to go home they'll have to get shops shovelling elephant shit. They'll do in India what they're currently doing in America. So the next great piece of software will come out of Delhi, or the next big startup will come from Calcutta.
This is a stupid comment. Passing legislation is what the government does, nothing is going 'down the sink'. And it does solve a problem because it gets polluting vehicles off the road whilst forcing producers to make cleaner vehicles.
How will it blow up in their faces? Holland is a small country, made for cycling and public transport, if supply doesn't meet demand it doesn't actually matter to them. They don't have a car industry anyway so they have nothing to lose by banning polluting cars.
Encyclopedias aren't aimed at experts or real scientists, they're for the layman. The clue's in the name, they were originally written for children. Wikipedia needs to remember what an encyclopedia is and tell the hardcore nerds to go somewhere else. It's supposed to serve you simplified explanations on a silver platter, that's the whole point.
Coal would be nowhere if it had to pay for its externalities. No other industry is allowed to openly pollute the world like the fossil fuel industry, it needs shutting down.
If coal wants to live by market forces then it should have to pay for its pollution. If it wasn't for the subsidy of not having to pay for negative externalities, coal would go bust tomorrow.
Coal has always been heavily subsidised by not having to pay for its negative externalities. And I'm not sure your link is entirely unbiased, it reads like it's written by someone who wears a tin-foil hat or is paid by the fossil fuel industry.
The 'truth lies somewhere in the middle' is bullshit. The truth lies where it is, it's not up for a vote or debate. If one media outlet says the sun rises in the West, and another in the East, it doesn't rise from the North as a compromise.
Go ahead, ask me how I know. I had no idea Cali was more lax on stuff like that than Wyoming.
Perhaps California realises the damage that is done by taking a child away from their parents. Maybe California is stronger on the right to a family life than Wyoming and doesn't snatch children on arbitrary grounds.
People have more things holding them down. Utility bills on two years contracts, fixed-length tenancies, student debt to pay off, health plans they can't afford to be cut off from whilst they travel around in a wagon. And Silicon Valley is where the jobs are, but people still can't afford to live there.
Fine, but if you want to give away millions in grants and executive 'compensation', don't continually beg for donations. Strip every last bit of non-essential spending before you go bucket in hand.
Compared to the UK, all of it. Only one country in the UK has a government which has just placed a mine under the entire economy and is threatening to detonate it.

It will still need to understand bipedal mechanics to predict pedestrian movements.

There's a difference between a non-techie who founds a company and one who comes along later.
In a war like that, both sides would just shoot down the other sides' satellites anyway, rendering LEO unusable for everyone.
If they work in the same company or sit in the same Starbucks then there's a chance they might know each other.

If Musk's motivation was money, why on earth would he invest in rockets and electric cars?
Hard to deny Trump's comments considering he puts them on Twitter or they're recorded.
But how much bigger is the industry than in 1975? 30% growth in 42 years is nothing..
Except on UBI, gamers will only be able to afford free to play games and won't be able to afford to buy any microtransactions.

You benefit from federal spending saving Tennessee from being part of a dirt-poor agricultural slave state, like a North Mexico.

There was literally nothing stopping them keeping Muslims out before. Bangladesh and Pakistan are not in the EU.
Like I said, the Brexit vote was driven entirely by ignorance and lies.
Who exactly would you trust as a neutral source?
