My thought was that the effect of the IC engine wasn't really felt until about 1920, as automobiles became commonplace. If defective government policy hadn't caused two World Wars, caused and prolonged the Great Depression, there would have been no apparent pause to separate phases 2 and 3.
If you tax robots at 70% you will see the production of robots fall to zero, and the sudden appearance in the market of devices that perform the function of robots but aren't robots.
Your blind belief that lots of education is good for everyone is disproved by dropout rates in the US that run about 50% in high school. Throwing money at education hasn't improved it in the last 50 years, and won't in the future.
"a basic living wage to the masses" is a guarantee that the huge fraction of the populace that thinks that just getting by is good enough will expand, and never work a day in their lives. The production that their "living wage" pays for will come from where? The riots that will happen when they don't get their free cell phones and gaming computers and satellite dishes will be stopped by whom?
Does your 70% tax on robots include the automated lathe that a basement mechanic uses to produce goods to feed his family? The automated pollution testing machine in the local repair garage?
You may recall the entire Occupy protest movement over the failure of the government to prosecute such individuals,...
If that's what you think the "Occupy" thing was about you are deeply ignorant of the mechanisms through which the left operates. There were paid organizers, dupes, dopes, trouble makers, newsmen and hangers-on, and not much else. The conjecture that a significant number of people there understood what was going on is laughable.
Any gap between the road and the vehicle -- and one inch is a HUGE gap -- makes inductive charging very inefficient. Any sort of electrified highway will be expensive and a maintenance nightmare. (The alternative to induction, conductive rails or a bumper-car arrangement, is an invitation to electrocution lawsuits.)
x86 is a pyramid of kludges; ARM is alleged to be a clean design. That the designs are so close in effectiveness indicates that there really isn't a great difference in the system-level value of the designs, at least in the tests performed.
General-purpose processor design is a heavily studied and fairly well understood body of information, and comparing 40 years of development with 30, 20, or 10 is irrelevant.
Operator overloading is essential to the readable implementation and use of new data types. Consider a new class of 192 bit integers. Would you rather read
a=add192(mul192(c,d),mul192(d,add192(e,f)))
or
a=c*d+(d*(e+f))
?
In the US, only about 1 in 8 is black. It's likely that if a black shootup did occur, the press would try to bury both the event and the racial identity of the killer.
And more: quiet people aren't newscasters. Blabbermouths and nosy-parkers often think everyone should be like them, and those who aren't are hiding evil secrets. People who "shape public opinion" are often loudmouths, afraid of and willing to denounce people who spend a lot of time thinking.
The news I've heard indicated she was expecting a collapse of civilization. Although that alone does not qualify her as loony, it's not a good indication.
A single person against a city police force loses. But if the government is recognized by even a third of an armed populace as a lethal tyranny, an enforcer will have a poor life expectancy.
Wow, call out the correlation is not causality police.
And if you're going to cite "white vs. black murder victims", you should point out "white vs. black murderers" or be immediately identified as attempting to mislead.
So-called universal health care is theft on a grand scale and economic illiteracy at its wildest.
Economic inequality is a good predictor of violence
Seen a lot of millionaires shooting up 7-11's and rioting? Jealousy is a mental state, a symptom of a poisoned mind. Honorable poor people, working and holding their own, do not engage in systematic violence. Dishonorable poor people, looking for a handout and thinking the world owes them a living, do. This is a moral problem, not a wealth disparity problem.
Anything that takes up room where the main window should be is wrong. Hence the genius of the popularly despised gimp menu: right click and the menu is available without moving the pointer; otherwise the screen is filled with the actual project I'm working on.
The additional diesel efficiency is due to the fact that diesels run at a higher compression ratio. That makes their Carnot cycle graph bigger. Diesels still have to be made more sturdy and hence heavier due to the higher pressure.
The problem is that the statement obtains an entirely new meaning when expressed in this manner. Any fool who speaks in that manner is asking to lose a whole lot of money if they sign a contract with such language. (In this case, consider that "needs" can be a noun.)
Not only can the nonexistence of God be proven, it has been done many times. Definitions of God fall into a number of categories
Trivial definitions like "I am god" or "that rock is god". These are not what most English speakers mean by god, so this is discarded as gibberish.
Pantheism. Since by this definition everything is god, god has no distinguishing characteristics. There's nothing special about this god. More to the point, once again it's not what most people mean by god.
Self-contradictory definitions.
Definitions that lead to contradictions, like "God is all-powerful, god is good".
There are no other categories. All attempts to define god in a meaningful, non-contradictory fashion have been shown fallacious.
Why aren't the US and Europe exerting more diplomatic pressure on these tax havens that are effectively stealing from the US and European treasuries by allowing profits that did not result from activities in Bermuda or the Cayman Islands to be recorded as occurring there?
Look, the thieves are crying because someone is avoiding their theft.
Every penny that escapes the US tax system is a penny that isn't advancing Führer Obama's tyranny.

"Cost" can be measured in terms of the lives of those who have to pay it. It should always be considered.

Historically inaccurate. Human urine was used in ancient Rome as an industrial chemical.
Training wheels on bikes make them more dangerous to the rider and more difficult to learn proper bicycling. They are a complete failure and fraud.
