For the vast, vast majority of people performance/kw is more important than raw performance in a single core.
You jest
The vast majority of computer users/buyers don't even think about power consumption. They're looking at internet use, word processing, viewing photos and video, playing games, all without noticeable lag. Power consumption is only a concern when the fans are too noisy.
i7-870 costs about 85% what it did when it was new. That's several generations back. Significant price reductions are rare in the absence of relevant competition.
Electricity in NH: private providers. Same for telephone, partially for internet. Outside of cities and the dense portions of some towns, water and sewage are privately owned wells, tanks, and leach fields.
Here in America we are also taxed for things that make life worse: "welfare", hundreds of government agencies that interfere with innocent activities, theft of private property. The low level of taxation that would be required for services that can only be properly provided by government would be far less objectionable to most people, and would encourage people to work more to achieve their own goals.
Governments do things such as putting up expensive statues of foul people like Nathan Bedford Forrest and Woodrow Wilson. Those are some of the "great things we can do together when we pool our resources." I'd far rather have my portion of that money to put up a small fountain at my own house.
"Live, liberty, property" has been a common formulation for 240 or so years. The ""Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" used in the Declaration of Independence was chosen for good rhetorical reasons.
Criticizing the Statement for the use of the word "property" indicates a rejection of the idea that personal property is necessary for a good society.
Jealousy of people better than you is an ugly emotion.
The figure of 20,000 was carefully calculated to be the minimum needed to have a reasonable chance of succeeding at changing the political atmosphere. Would you want to move if there was little chance of achieving your goals, that moving would gain you nothing?
Think of it like not buying a house until you have enough for a down payment.
This is largely due to the Democrats that have to a large extent taken over the state in the last 15 years. NH used to have emergency funds, stockpiles on money to use in disasters. It took only 2 years of a Democrat governor, in the absence of any emergency, to zero out those funds. The spending has continued unchecked.
On the left people say: feed my children, give me condoms, don't let anybody drive SUVs (but I need one), we don't need armed forces, police are pigs, don't use chemical fertilizers, pay taxes or go to jail, bankers are evil, I want my free marijuana NOW,.......
Potential is not actual. The rights of actual human beings outweigh considerations for potential human beings, with some sort of sliding scale applying the closer "potential" comes to "actual". Morality applies to humans.
In the cases of rape and incest, a horrid wrong has been done to the woman involved, and having to carry and bear (and then support) the resultant child only furthers the wrong done against her.
Pragmatism is always an empty position. Pragmatic means practical, and until you've identified what your goal is, it is impossible to determine what is practical to reach your goal.
OK, now go one step deeper. The reason that there are so many single mothers is that there is much less available government money for families with two parents. If the boyfriend sticks around, no gifts from Uncle Sugar. This is only a short term financial boon, in their unforeseen future everyone loses.
Families with no father produce a far higher percentage of criminal and undereducated youth, and another generation of unwed mothers.
The people who have moved to NH from Massachusetts over the last half century have changed the political landscape to what they thought it should be. The Free Staters are trying to undo the damage. New Hampshire didn't need the Massachusetts transformation.
Libertarians are at best "redneck republicans" and at worst "facists"...
Redneck implies undereducated. In actuality, there is a wide and deep body of serious fundamental libertarian intellectual work than far exceeds equivalent conservative work in quantity and quality, and far exceeds leftist work in quality. Libertarians tend to be more familiar with such literature than their counterparts who lean in other political directions, in large part because it takes a lot of learning and thinking to challenge conventional misunderstanding.
There are many small towns in New Hampshire, and each town has perhaps a dozen boards and committees with unpaid positions some of which are elective. It takes a population of about 2000 before there are dependably enough people running for office to fill all the offices. Some of these boards meet evenings, so there's no need to leave your job. Some of them require about 5 hours a month of effort. If you run for office, you stand a good chance of being elected. If some board isn't fully staffed, often you can be accepted to fill the vacancy immediately.
What are your efforts likely to net you? Responsibility for maintaining a cemetery, planning recreational events, helping pass judgement on zoning exceptions are examples of three unpaid jobs. Members of the Planning Board are responsible for writing the town's Master Plan, a document with no legal authority.
More powerful elective jobs are town selectmen and school board members -- I don't know offhand if these positions pay anything, but they involve more responsibility and more time. In my town, selectmen meet once a week for a couple of hours in the evening, and spend a substantial amount of other time doing things like assembling the town budget. Sometimes more than one person runs for an open Select Board position. Even if you're not on the Select Board, meetings are small and if you want to affect things, attend meetings and press your plan.
In small towns many things are voted on, like whether to allocate $20,000 to a reserve fund to replace the fire department tanker when it rusts out in a few years, or whether to give $200 to a local charity.
Schools account for about 2/3 of money paid in property taxes. If you want to lower taxes, figure out how to cut down $10,000/yr/student.
There is a tendency for members of the NH house to be retirees. Furthermore, the number of people seriously interested in politics who can't afford to take a few months off is fairly small. Ask yourself this: do you want people writing your laws to have planned their lives so poorly that they can't afford a few months without pay?
Not likely, lead has only 8% of the conductivity of copper. If you see a silvery-looking telephone wire, it's likely to be "tinned" copper, copper with a thin outer layer of tin or lead-tin solder. Lead is also very weak, only 5% of the ultimate tensile strength of copper.
The US has numerous political problems that make the country's actions schizophrenic. The root of most of the problems is a leftist hatred of the country, of wealth, and of the political protections upon which the country was founded. In acting out their hatred, the left destroys the country and makes the country as a whole look spastic, foolish, and self-destructive.
People at MIT are very aware that they're in Cambridge, not Boston (600,000), and rarely consider that they're part of the "Greater Boston area" (7,000,000). When they say Boston, they mean Boston, and their estimate is correct.

Both wrong.
Power consumption is proportional to clock rate, as long as supply voltage isn't adjusted to accommodate the clock rate.
You've just admitted you lied. Why should I believe anything else you wrote?

Your defective definition of libertarian government also wrongly denies the existence of criminal law under libertarian government.
Seat belts are already optional for adults in New Hampshire, there's no need for Free State Project political activity to achieve that goal.
Capitalism is human rights viewed from an economic perspective.

If a man doesn't want to have children he can keep his sperm to himself. Act responsibly or face the consequences of irresponsibility.

Then it will have to be decommissioned. And I'm sure God isn't going to pay for the cleanup needed when it's done.
