I'd just like to point out that the "New California" border pretty closely follows the San Andreas fault line. So, even if a political movement doesn't work, a geological one eventually will.
It's not like we don't know how to use true north. TVMDC, and all that. What with modern avionics, GPS, etc. you'd think they could deal with true north and not have this problem.
F that. Everyone has heard of Tesla, and they've undeniably had a significant impact on the electric car market.
Who the fuck has heard of "Navigant [sic] Research", and why would anyone pay any attention to their clickbait?
No, I'm not a Tesla "fanboi." But they are advancing the art, and Navigant Research is apparently just a remora.
(Beyond which, all the self-driving car companies seem to be testing in sunny, dry locations, Michigan based GM included. It's not ready-for-prime-time until they can drive through a white-out condition snow storm on icy, snow covered roadways. Or fog, or pick your poor conditions. And no one appears to be attempting that, even in announced testing.)
You're unfocused and pedantic. The discussion is about Einstein, and that means a differentiation between Newtonian and Einsteinian physics. Anything before Einstein was Newtonian, even if Newton himself didn't fully develop the math and formulae. Fact is, the math came out of Newton's Laws, so he did fully "get it" in concept, even if not fully developed in detail.
"how are taxes going to go up when it's going to increase the tax base?"
I've often wonder the same damn thing. When the population of an area increases, property values and incomes increase, and there's more economic activity, shouldn't economies of scale kick in and taxes go down? Nope, they never do. They go up. The only explanation I can come up with is that government has negative efficiency.
There are obviously many things here which are beyond your limited comprehension, understanding and knowledge. You should probably stop before you get a brain hemorrhage from the strain. It might help if you got out of your mom's basement on occasion to experience the outside world.
Perhaps you should direct one of your clueless, snarky comments toward an ISP, and convince them to deliver wired internet on demand, to anywhere in the country.
And, clueless you are about use cases. I can use my phone to stream recently recorded shows from my TiVo for viewing. There are multiple live streaming sources which can't be downloaded or brought on pre-recorded media, sports among them.
But, keep digging that hole, you may dig yourself through to the other side someday.
They're welcome to pull fiber to the campsite I boondock on in my solar powered camper. Or, a separate cable Internet connection to my hotel room when I travel so I get enough bandwidth to stream video. But, they haven't offered to do so.
The name of the food is "Maple sirup". Alternatively, the word "sirup" may be spelled "syrup".

"Pancake syrup" is an alternate name for "Table sirup." If a sirup has <66% soluble maple solids (and <74% cane and sorghum), it's table sirup. If 66% or more, it's maple sirup. So, pancake syrup may contain quite a bit of maple.
I have unlimited data and an MHL-HDMI interface so I can play videos on a large TV using my phone, you insensitive clod.
Cell providers are being jerks and violating net neutrality. If a user wants to limit bandwidth, the streaming app should give them controls to do so, that's not the bailiwick of the cell provider, quite the opposite. Regardless of the FCC's recent actions regarding net neutrality, Verizon is still bound by the open access terms under which it obtained new LTE bands, which prohibits them from limiting or restricting applications (that would include Netflix, etc.).
Yep. And if Tim Cook wants to make an impression, he'd let users make their own decisions about what version of iOS they want to run, and give them the ability to side-load apps. This is just simple pandering in an attempt to avoid regulation.
Unfortunately, common sense and authoritative recommendations often succumb to security theater. Like proverbial lemmings. Real quote: "we need to adhere to standards that our customers, the market and other auditory bodies follow."
Correlation is not causality. And, if you think past performance is an indication of future outcomes, did you buy in Oct, sell in Dec, and will you be doing the same again next year?
Oh, and BTW, no it doesn't "drop off like this every year about this time." Let's look at the last 5 years, as you suggest:
There was a 46% drop in Jan 2018 from a December peak.
...about a 30% drop in Jan 2017 from an early January peak.
...about a 20% drop in Jan 2016 from an early January peak.
There was a drop of about 46% ending in Jan 2015, but that occured over the span of two months, not two weeks, so isn't comparable.

Kibo? Knowledge In, Bullshit Out?
Maybe if they threw some iPhones and Pixels out the bus windows along the route they'd be worshiped.

"by that criteria, most humans aren't ready to drive a car either."
Yeah, but that just means they're stuck in the ditches, which leave the road open for me.
F that. Everyone has heard of Tesla, and they've undeniably had a significant impact on the electric car market.

"Newton didn't get the energy part."
Of course he did. Perhaps you're referring to Mass-energy equivalence which is, as I said, at the extremes.
"Einstein figured out how energy, mass and gravity work and are related to each other. "
That would be Newton. Einstein tweaked Newton to cover the extremes.
To acquaint someone with Einstein, start with some of his thought experiments which break Newtonian physics.

"It works pretty well."
For definitions of "well" limited to an isolated anechoic chamber.
I keep my Amazon Echo in the Amazon warehouse. It's not only safer, it's cheaper!
Stainless steel? You're a mole for the NSA, right? Wrong stuff - This is what he needs.
Cops are stupid. Give an electric vehicle with an 80 mile range to a maintenance worker, and watch them nap twice a day while it's recharging.

Obligatory...

Jan '14 basically held steady.
Jan '13 was a steady rise.
