    Not really. Mobileye product is not just hardware, but software. Sadly, it's crap, which is why Tesla used the hardware, but never used ME's software.

    I point out, correctly, that Snowden is a traitor for his TELLING terrorists and foreign nations such as Russia, China, etc, what we are up to. And yes, he DID speak, not just release information. However, the very act of releasing that info STILL makes him a traitor.

    Seriously, We need to create more virtual networks at the backbone level, and fully separate utilities, military, stock brokers, etc from the main arena. After all, while a nuclear plant needs to communicate with others, what need does it have to actually talk to the business office? none. The same is true of other Areas.

    you miss the point. When he reported the spying on Americans by individuals, he DID break the law, BUT, it was for a good reason. Had he stopped there, I would be celebrating this and in FULL agreement with you.

    BUT, HE CONTINUED SPEAKING. And when he spoke about how we spy on other nations, along with terrorists, he committed treason and HARMED not just America, but the entire WEST. Basically, he helped Russia, China, AQ, North Korea, Iran, Bhurma, etc.
    Worse, it is certain that BOTH Russia and china have decrypted the other files that he did not post, but allowed them to have access to.

    It does NOT mean that things are shaped for the better. With elon musk, things ARE better. With Snowden, he has told Terrorists how to hide from western detection and has allowed ISIS to attack Europe.

    Speaking out about the ILLEGAL to quasi-illegal actions of NSA spying on Citizens was good
    BUT, he and so many of his followers, seem to ignore the fact that he told other nations and the terrorists exactly HOW we spy on them. Yet, that is why NSA is SUPPOSED TO DO, and SNowden took an oath to protect.
    Hell, Brazil was all upset, until it came out that they were doing the same thing.
    Regardless, That is treason in ANY nation.

    Give him a medal and then put 2 between his eyes.

    At this time, given our technology and money, I would say that rockets are the ONLY way to go.

  11. For whatever reason, AMOS-6 was loaded. And it uses LOTS of UDMH for pushing the sat into its position. I think that it was loaded on the sat as well (they wanted a fulled load sat on-board, but it is unknown WHY).
    Just a little leak and it runs downwards into OX being released.

    America outsources cheap shit, and less than 50% is outsourced.
    In addition, if America was that bad as you think, then this tax would actually help make a difference.

    THis is emissions and GDP from 2006. At that time, America was at its worst and then it was about middle of the road. Now, we have dropped out emissions while growing our GDP.

    Wrong. Base tax starts off low, and raises slowly but surely, for 10 years. Let's say it is at 5%: 1)If a good comes from say Sweden with 100% parts from there, the company registers it, and there is no tax. 2) if same good changes a sub-part to coming from California, the tax might by 10% of 5% or .5% 3) now change that part coming from Texas. That would be around 60% of 5%, or 3%. 4) obviously, if part comes from China, that would raise it to 100% or 5%. If we raise at 1% each month, or simply 5% each 6 months, it means in 10 years, the tax will be at 100%. In that time, nations and states will have time to either clean up, or manufacturers will either drop dirty parts or simply move offshore. Regardless, it will cause co2 plummet fast and stay down. And I doubt that America will pay more than 5% extra on average. In addition, you can bet that by 10 years out, that America will have goods/services from clean nations and states only.

    Here is a better idea: America taxes our consumed goods based on what nation/state the worst sub-part comes from. Start it low and raise every 6 months. Normalize on emissions /$ gdp and use satellites to monitor all nations and states. With this approach, every nation will lower theirs, or keep it low .

    China needs to be brought under control QUICKLY. The idea that they be allowed to build out 50 GW of new coal plants every year until 2030 is just plain STUPID. As it is, they are NOT at 33%, but are close to 50% OR MORE of emissions. Go look at OCO-2 sat. You can see how much they emit.
