Friction losses in tire flex are a significant factor in car efficiency; tire manufacturers have actually tested low loss tires. Friction losses in tires are roughly proportional to the weight the tire supports. Also, a tire's rolling resistance increases greatly as temperature drops.
Regenerative braking is only a significant factor in conditions where you do a lot of braking, and even there you'd be very lucky to get 80% recovery.
All Intel has to do to accommodate more power is replace their crappy thermal interface material with something better, or use solder like AMD does. Die temperature under heavy load drops from 95 C to 65 C in some cases.
Outside of gaming, there is a wide swath of applications where the i7-7700k beats the Ryzen 1800X by 10% to 20%, and the Intel chip is 30% lower in price. I think it's unlikely that a Ryzen 3 or 5 can take enough advantage of lower heat generated by fewer cores to make up for that 10% to 20% deficit.
I want to buy an AMD CPU; the disrespect Intel shows its customers by using an inferior thermal interface irks me. Alas, these AMD chips don't quite make the grade.
Capitalism does not prohibit those who can make the best use of assets from owning them. By allowing those people to use those assets, capitalism encourages the highest possible levels of productivity, and thus the greatest wealth for all mankind.
However, "the greatest good for the greatest number," while in fact the result of capitalism, is not the moral foundation of capitalism. The moral foundation of capitalism is that capitalism is the only system that establishes a person's right to support his own life.
The term "robber baron" was a deliberate misnomer by communist writers invented to slander great American industrialists. You should be ashamed of yourself for advancing the lie.
It's difficult to predict the limits of mental illness. In this case, a rule of "expect sanity unless there's a reason not to" triggers the expectation of lack of sanity.
There is never a situation in which a politician should not choose words carefully. "Throw" is only a single additional letter; "propel" or "launch" only 2 more letters. Wu would look somewhat less like the idiot "she" is had a better word been chosen.
The velocity required to get into low lunar orbit is substantially greater than the orbital velocity of the moon around the Earth. The trick is choosing the correct trajectory, and that's not a difficult problem.
orbital velocity of earth around moon: 1.05 km/s
lunar low orbit velocity: 1.68 km/s
lunar escape velocity: 2.38 km/s
All numbers approximate.
Womanizers are quite frequently contemptuous of women, considering them inferior and unworthy of respect. If they respected women, as opposed to just wanting to get their rocks off, those men would not be grabbing random women by their private parts. Isaac Asimov is a prime example of a womanizer who had no respect for women.
FWIW, lunar escape velocity is 2.38 km/s, low lunar orbit velocity is 1.68 km/s. Most of the energy needed to get from the moon to the earth is just that required to get to low lunar orbit.

Seven weeks. That's 4.23 megaseconds in metric.
There used to be a porn magazine called "Flick" for just that reason.
He failed trigonometry hyperbolically.
"Actually" fills your need in many circumstances. Just omitting the word "literally" also works.
The volt was not accepted as the unit of electromotive force until approximately 1873. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt#History

You are assuming that all rich are corrupt. Your assumption is invalid.

Geez, you can't even get the joke right. It's an "Oh Henry!" bar, look at some images and you'll understand.
Thank you for your dustbin of history ... oops ... history of dustbin.

We already have egregious morons like Sheila Jackson Lee. Too many is dangerous to everyone.

Note that Wu thinks the threat is private corporations attacking Earth - as if governments were not primary historical practitioners of war.
Wu is a wirehead.
I've never heard satellite music radio that was anything but a fixed rotation. Born dead.

Seeing physical justice done by a duly authorized organization removes a lot of the motive for escalating violence.
