Here is a QUICK shoot down of it
What happens if Yellowstone blows? Keep in mind that our grid is supposed to work 100% of the time. That is ESP. true during emergencies. More importantly, if we are moving to EVs, then during emergencies we need that grid.
And yet, with just wind/solar, it would not work.
I would also be curious about the economics of this. I will bet again, that this will go up in price quite a bit. CA's has. So has Germany and Portugal.
OTOH, Sweden, Iceland, Costa Rica, all have CHEAP or relatively cheap energy. Why? Because they use a MIX.
We need to add in Geo-thermal and Nuclear. The idea of depending on JUST wind/Solar is about as stupid as you can be.
The answer is NOT to regulate these idiots. It will not help
The RIGHT solution is to remove their monopoly, AND allow municipals and even states to set up competitive fiber utilities. Once a state de-monopolizes or at least forces open the ability for competition, then they will have no choice but to go after each other's area and compete on performance, and $.
and this is why you should QUIT trying to regulate them.
Instead, push for de-monopolization, along with allowing all municipals and even states to do their own broadband utility.
THAT would change the industry and bring back REAL competition.
Instead, go after the monopolies. It is long past time for states to de-monopolize these utilities that want to be de-regulated, and at the same time, allow municipals to compete.
This would be far more effective than trying to regulate them.
U are SPOT on.
I leave my phone locked at all times for that very reason. In fact, because so many ppl are relaxed at home, they will tend to believe that there is no cause for concern. Wrong attitude.
In fact, Drive-bys happen all the time here where I live. I used to have a honey pot so that I could see what was happening in our area. Amazing how often I would get an alert and right in front of my house was a car parked across the street from the house, with the driver bent downwards and not aware that I had several cameras on him (and 1 her), and their plates.
How many ppl in America make 6-8 figures a year and have apps on their phones for accessing their banks? MANY ppl. In fact, most of the none technical ones are going to be stupid enough to put bank apps on and then make it accessible via simple bio scans.
I would expect even a few of the techs here will have the apps on their phones. Hopefully, they do not make it all bio-scan access.
Weird. Right? BUT, the thief continued on as well as tried to murder the victim, which is why he got 25 years.
Basically, plenty of ppl in the world have so little care about others.
But, I did get another thing wrong, which is that it was Cherry Creek, not Aurora Mall. Still, it is why I refuse to lock my phone via finger , retinal, or face scan, though I really like the idea of app locking via bio scans.
not sure about the first, however, in the Aurora, Co Mall, somebody had bought an iphone and another person running by grabbed it. Apparently, they tore a finger off the owner, and yet, the crook continued to run with it.
Add to that, the fact that ppl DO have apps on the phones where they can access 100's of 1000s of $. Ppl kill for 100s of $, so, I would guess that if they know, or at least you look it, that you have 100,000+ accessible via your phone and all it takes is your finger to access it, it will make you a target. Not Good.
As to security vs paranoid, I worked on Patriot act. Prior to that work, I would have said that I am now paranoid. After it, I continue to think that I am not secured enough. And I really am not. A simple pin really is not the right solution. Still, I find it interesting who we find security vs paranoia based on experience.
when I said that we should NOT do the fingerprint lock on the phone. I have to say that it will actually encourage somebody killing you, and taking your hand, or such as the police using it.
HOWEVER, where it DOES make sense, is for app access. IOW, once you have unlocked the phone, but an app, say credit card needs to be unlocked again, the finger print makes sense. Kind of wish that we could do say 1-3 prints for the key. That would truly limit the likelihood of somebody being able to use it.
"The time for denial is long past. We are losing not only our battle against climate change, but also our battle against the collapse of biodiversity,"
Seriously, the issue is not denial of this, but the fact that so many nations continue to grow their CO2. As long as nations are allowed to build out new coal plants, this will continue to get worse. It is only once stopping coal and then nat gas (which gives a fraction of the CO2 that coal does), that we will see CO2 go downwards.
normalizing with china was not a problem. Our problem has been leaders that have not stood up and said, this is not fair.
Seriously, getting china and russia to be friendly is not a bad thing. BUT, you have to make certain that they do not take advantage of it, like reagan, Clinton, W and O allowed.
Let em.
First off, china already has 25%vat on goods, that is waived for most internally produced. And then put a shit load more tariffs on imported goods from the west. 2/3 of American and European goods shipped to China are resources and food, not goods. So, all they are doing is hitting themselves. I say great.
Canada does not have any real tariffs on us, and Mexico has a simple 18% VAT that we can do.
The real problem are many of the Asian nations, but esp china.
He is a traitor, but O and W fucked over America allowing china to just dump heavily on us.
Of course, trump's tax are a joke and need to change to bring back manufacturing.
I look forward to China being stupid and putting 60 billion on us. Then trump can hit them with another $120 B making it 180 B. All china can do is add another 60B.
all of the companies give out data for R&D purposes. the question is, what they give out. Google will sell you clean data. By that, I mean, I find how many ppl have HIV or Sex offenses in a zip code. WHat I can not find, is who you are.
With FB, MS, Apple, etc. I can get ALL of that data, including your name.
Actually, let me say that I used to be able to do that. I suspect as of now, they have ALL switched to Google's model.
Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, etc sell our data. When you go to these companies, I can buy who you are, your address, your pix, and most of all, your name, etc..
With Google, I can buy clean data for stats, but it will not come with address, pix, names,
OR,
I can buy access to you. That is I can direct Ads at ppl that live in Houston Texas and then sell them cheap ACs from China. While I can not direct it to an individual, I can give criteria that would allow me to focus on those most likely to buy junk.
That is the right approach. It is fair, and honest. Google is not giving it to gov, unless they have a warrant. And Google has fought giving it to some of the nations that will use it for political purposes.

Hence the Muni/state networks.

Actually, for an app, it makes sense. Do not use it as a key for phone access. That is foolish.

They can control parodies about the gov, but they have no means of controlling out and out stealing of IP.
Makes sense.
yeah, comrade. I really believe an AC on /. esp. knowing that Russia and CHina are trolling here.

China is not doing a great job on these. Sad.

He is as republican as nearly anybody else in the GOP.
Sadly, u need to be updated to 5.
