In 1976, Stuart Feldman, the author of make(3) at Bell Labs, realized too late that using tab as a significant character (to distinguish recipes from rules) in makefiles was a Bad Idea. In an interview, he admitted, "And then a few weeks later I had a user population of about a dozen, most of them friends, and I didn’t want to screw up my embedded base. The rest, sadly, is history."
It doesn't have to. If the houses adjacent to the panels received deeply discounted, or free power, it could make up for the lack of greenery, and balance out the loss in property value.
Perhaps, but these solar plants sell their power onto Dominion's grid; the town gets none of it. In fact, Dominion is raising customers' electric rates to pay for their conversion from coal to solar. The lease accrues rent to absentee landowners, so that doesn't go into the local economy, either.
There is no existing value to trash. That's why the companies want to install solar farms there.
Not true. The reason the companies have located solar farms adjacent to the town is to be close to a substation. There is plenty of cheap land out in the county, but they would have to run transmission lines.
They didn't want to be surrounded by solar farms? Why not? That still doesn't make any sense.
Having a solar farm right next to residential lots destroys property values. The residential lots are inside the city limits and taxable; the solar farms are just outside the city limits and are not.
Isn't this conclusion pretty much identical to the findings sixty years ago? It's no surprise that the explanation was oversimplified to "resonance" by the popular press, but to claim that this is an entirely new result misrepresents what engineers learned from the failure.
It's not a sale, it's a zoning variance, which would allow the (absentee) landowner to lease his land to an energy company. The solar farms are unsightly, which negatively impacts the value of surrounding residential properties.
When you open a microphone for "public comment" in any town hall in the world, you can expect to hear from a disproportionate number of cranks and ignorant concerned citizens. They seek these opportunities.
It is widely accepted that the quality of education in segregated, rural, black public schools in the late '50s and early '60s was poor. However, to hold the generation who received that education up for international ridicule is the height of bigotry.
Rev. Jane Vinson Mann is pastor of the Immanuel House of Prayer. Her husband, Bobby Columbus Mann, is a truck driver. Both are black, in their late '60s. It is very unlikely that they are Tea Party supporters. It is, however, quite likely that they were educated in underfunded, segregated public schools.
Those are all perfectly legitimate responses to attacks from food-fear mongers. It's not just one startup--it's a multi-billion dollar industry built on FUD.
The premise of the question is false. The Bill of Rights does not GRANT rights to the people. It places specific LIMITS on what the government may legislate. In addition, the Ninth Amendment says that the rights of the people are NOT limited to those that are explicitly enumerated in the Constitution and its amendments.
Kentucky is a "Castle Doctrine" state. Under Kentucky law, to invoke the Castle Doctrine, an intruder must be making (or have made) an attempt to unlawfully and/or forcibly enter an occupied home, business or car; the occupant(s) of the home must reasonably believe that the intruder intends to inflict serious bodily harm or death upon an occupant of the home; and/or the occupant(s) of the home must reasonably believe that the intruder intends to commit some other felony, such as arson or burglary. There are other, more specific conditions and constraints. The law (in Kentucky) also includes a "duty to retreat". So, no, you can't simply shoot trespassers, even in Kentucky.
And yes, you have a right to privacy, but you don't enforce that by taking the law into your own hands.
I've used Perl for 20 years and still find it more productive than most other languages, but I would _never_ recommend it as a first programming language to anyone.
This is the work ethic that is pounded into residents and interns. You MUST work, regardless of sleep deprivation, personal trauma, or contagious illness.
(That is why I became an engineer, rather than a doctor like my father and my grandfather.)
First, I've never used PowerPoint, because I've never used Windows any more than absolutely necessary, but I've used similar tools.
Second, when preparing for a presentation, I make sure that someone could get the gist of my talk from the materials, even if they were not there to hear it. That means I write very succinct statements on each slide, not vague one-word "bullets".
Third, I never read from my slides. I assume that you can read them, yourself. Instead, I paraphrase a point, and then add value by offering insights, providing examples and analogies, and exploring implications of the ideas presented.
All of that is "wrong", according to some self-proclaimed experts. Fine. My presentations are not boring and I became a DMTS with my approach.
For comparison, a typical gasoline-powered vehicle has a storage capacity of about 500 kWh and a recharge rate of 15,000 kW. The average driver consumes the gasoline equivalent of 57 kWh per day. Taking into account the fact that gasoline engines are about 25% as efficient as electric motors, each electric car needs about 14 kWh of charge per day, on average. While a gasoline dispenser can refuel as many as 100 cars/day, a charger can only supply 3 cars/day. So, you need at least 30 times as many charging stations as gasoline pumps to support the same number of cars.
I'm surprised that it's as high as 5%. I still have visions of layers of adapter classes, which serve absolutely no purpose other than to appease Java. It's been six years since I've touched the stuff and I still have a bitter Java taste in my mouth.

They tried that. The Supreme Court struck it down.

You're missing the point. His stated justification was that he dealt with the drone the same way that he would deal with a trespasser.

In other words, if a stranger wanders onto your property, you shoot them and ask questions later.
