This.
Meanwhile, our NSA, who should be supporting this sort of R&D, is busy peaking at our porn habits (under right wing administrations) or tracking down our offshore bank accounts (when the left is in power).
No. Because, rooftop solar installations aside, the nature of large scale power generation, storage, transmission and delivery requires entities like utility companies. Economies of scale, operation and maintenance staff, etc. So the old, Old Order might be replaced by a new, Old Order. But the power utilities will look pretty much like they do today.
Now, if the renewable energy proponents want to stop looking like a bunch of revolutionary Red Brigades, then perhaps people will take them seriously and adopt some of their ideas. People don't get tied up in ideology when they plug their toaster oven in. In fact I'm certain mdsolar didn't give a second thought to how much additional energy all the data center servers and Internet backbone providers his article would consume before he posted it.
Or when the Vogons arrive, they'll treat us like we treated the native Americans. A few treaties, quickly broken. And then moved onto a reservation so they can exploit resources and build expressways.
... the collection agencies will know. And your phone won't stop ringing.
If an assistance program kicks in $1000 for back rent and EBT, you can just say 'Sorry. No cash.' You are eating and housed, but the for-profit clinics will just have to sit back and wait a while longer.
We've got one in my town. The guy has the saddest looking hang dog face, a cardboard sign and a bible (Maybe. A paperback book that he wrote 'Holy Bible' in big block letters so drivers can see it.) He has spent a few hours every morning on the same street corner for years.
One day, I stopped by the nearby Starbucks for coffee, parking in the garage in back. Mr Beggar was getting his cardboard sign out of the trunk of a nice shiny Lexus.
A cash infusion will solve a lot of cash flow issues.
This.
But why not have a program where a check is written and sent to the landlord? Or an EBT card in the person's name is loaded to cover food, medicine, etc? Bad cash flow because some externality cut into a person's budget is one thing. But if it's due to poor management skills, $1000 might go to that new shiny iPhone. Or booze. Worse yet, if someone has a collection agency on their ass for that new big screen TV set and they know there's a $1000 handout program, they'll just coerce the people into paying their load first. Instead of just picking up the TV that they couldn't afford. An assistance system that makes direct payments to keep people housed and fed will relieve them of these pressures. 'Gee, I'd like to make that payment. But the money went straight to the landlord.'
How about food and/or housing vouchers? Clean clothes, etc. But no. The hobos just want the money so they can scurry off to buy meth/heroin/booze. And then it's back to the tent under I-5.
That has no meaning. Unlike something like default browser settings, which actually work. No, this is a location returned by a business that sells IP location data to keep their performance statistics (and profits) up.
It's strange that the default location is centered on the USA for a global coordinate system. At least 0.0, 0.0 is really out in the middle of nowhere.

Spin up those coal fired generating plants.

You didn't have to tell us. We could tell by all the pedestrians crossing against the lights.
No hablo Ingles.
Since it's impossible to tell pretended cluelessness
I tried appending the emoji for snark. But Slashdot doesn't support that character set.
suspected the poor chap of a serious crime.
He might have made a sarcastic remark involving his opponent and the second amendment.
No Internet-connected vehicle. No wireless unlocking or ignition switch.
And no hair.

That's truly the American way.
Save the naugas!
Red is command colours
Red shirt, brown pants.
Sort of like watching Daesh fighting the PKK. It's morbidly interesting to watch, just as long as it stays over there.
Was it his Lexus
Presumably, yes. He was the only one around it and he locked it up when he walked away.
If you have $1000 cash
If an assistance program kicks in $1000 for back rent and EBT, you can just say 'Sorry. No cash.' You are eating and housed, but the for-profit clinics will just have to sit back and wait a while longer.

They make 6 figures a year.
Tax fee, no doubt.

That's about a dozen doses of meth.

default location FOR IP ADDRESSES IN THE USA
That has no meaning. Unlike something like default browser settings, which actually work. No, this is a location returned by a business that sells IP location data to keep their performance statistics (and profits) up.
Microsoft can always be relied on
Not always. It's totally random.
Middle of Nowhere
Actually, that would be Null Island.
It's strange that the default location is centered on the USA for a global coordinate system. At least 0.0, 0.0 is really out in the middle of nowhere.
You seem to have an echo there. Check for a hollow cavity in your vicinity that might be causing it.
