Well, right tool for the job. I think that for servers and clients that connect to untrusted servers, probably C is not the right tool. For example, I'd rather sshd was written in a language that checks out of bounds conditions and I'd rather have it be slow than insecure.
The fed has almost a century of history of hitting it's target monetary growth target of 2%. At what point will the sun arriving every morning convince you that it will arrive tomorrow?
So, you think that a store shouldn't be able to set final prices with it's wholesalers? I agree that wholesalers conspiring is problematic, but I don't get there being a problem when a wholesalers and a retailer set prices together.
Apple conspired to unsettle a monopsonistic price fixing scheme by introducing competition. Yes, they correctly pointed out that prices would rise when the monopsony ended, but I think the justice department really slipped a disc on this one.
Per facility is not really useful, you really need to know the cost per beer. i.e. if a facility makes 13 billion cans of beer in a year, $13 million is a 0.001$ increase per can--yawn.
You might want to add, "I am not an economist but..." before you write these things. "which may mean lower profits, leading to reduced employment" is as ridiculous as saying that adding a powered usb port will draw less power from your CPU and speed computation.
We have no idea what this will do for employment, there's simply too much going on. Increasing beer prices ever so slightly (I doubt this adds more than a cent or two per can, but whatever) would decrease beer consumption (also ever so slightly) and might increase productivity in other industries. Also, increasing food safety could decrease time off economy wide. It's impossible to know. But I doubt any effect would be large.
Military pensions are not included in the line you are pointing to. They are under "defense" and then "veterans." The line you are pointing to is for Social Security.
Uh, yeah. Since Hoover ran amok with the FBI and did sort of what you think the USG does, data use in the USG is pretty tightly regulated both in terms of what data can be used for and how it can be shared across agencies. I'd bet that if you asked the people working with this data if they could share it with another agency (for any purpose) they'd tell you it would be criminal for them to do so.
There is a wind energy system that uses the wind energy to compress gasses in underground structures and then uses that gas to burn a natural gas system much more efficiently. I don't have all the specs, but they were building one in Iowa 10 years ago when I last checked.
AC isn't really any safer than DC. The one advantage is the brief drops to 0 V that can allow you to remove yourself from the wire--but at 60 Hz you have to be pretty quick to take advantage of that.
So, if 12 volt is so difficult to move, how does the dinkiest little wire get all that power to my hard drive that gets so hot I could heat my lunch on it?
Who can generate electricity at 100% efficiency? Electric is 100% efficient only if you ignore the inefficiency that comes before it enters your house.
Romneycare also had very low enrollment until just before the deadline. I don't think you can conclude that 44 people will sign up via the website before the end of the year.
Also, $300,000,000 is obviously an inflated number that probably includes all funds spent in the state on the ACA.
The market price of the stock affects the company's ability to raise money through additional issues. This affects their ability to take out loans/sell bonds.
In your response about Plain TeX you ignore that Word has these exact same problems. But it avoids some by not optimizing justification over multiple lines but taking a sub-optimal single-line solutions. You could implement your own non-Plain TeX that did just that, there is no reason you need to use Plain TeX. But you have to realized that WYSIWYG editors do a lot of greedy things to get the current page to display properly and working it out with other pages in the background.
You could also simply force a single page of infinite length for normal editing and then switch back to spec pages in a separate (slower) mode.
Long half-life products have too slow a decay rate to worry about
While I agree that France has done well to follow approximately this mix in their fuel cycle, it isn't a panacea. you always end up with a nasty mix of the long lived stuff at the end that is too hot to declare not a problem and not readily converted via the process you describe.

Regulatory capture can and does happen but is not a rule so much as it is a possibility.
Yet pop the astronomy books that I read my children are full of moons being captured. I've never gotten that.

I am an economist and I'd say you did a pretty good job at a couple tough concepts there.
Uh, yeah. Since Hoover ran amok with the FBI and did sort of what you think the USG does, data use in the USG is pretty tightly regulated both in terms of what data can be used for and how it can be shared across agencies. I'd bet that if you asked the people working with this data if they could share it with another agency (for any purpose) they'd tell you it would be criminal for them to do so.
Uh, if the company doesn't track your financial records, how will they send you the bill?

Inefficiency for electricity is creating heat, so if you want a heater, you're just creating heat in a spot that you're not calling the heater.
I think the HDD draws a lot more than all the LEDs in my house.
It depends on what you run on it. LEDs wouldn't require that much of a load. This isn't a server farm with racks for 1 kW servers, it's a house.

Bah! Medicaid, not Medicare. Sorry
A lot of ACA spending would be on the medicare expansion, so doctors, hospitals, nurses, medicine, ..., you see how it matters, right?
