Virtually all American (city) diesel buses were retrofit to run on natural gas decades ago. Much cleaner. The newer ones came from the factory setup for natural gas.
State Farm is scum. Their lawyers are sunk costs. You'll find out if you ever have a claim against a State Farm policy holder.
Their corporate policy is to _always_ deny all claims for less than the price of hiring a lawyer to extract the funds out of them. If you want a claim paid, you have to inflate the shit out of it. Grab your neck and start yelling 'whiplash'...'now my pecker don't work'...then, maybe, they will pay to fix your car.
Hollywood wastes money remaking Hitchcock (obviously worse than the original). Wouldn't know a new story if it bit them on the ass (would just wonder if ass biting was an 'included service', try and remember to ask the staff 'pussy coordinator').
For any chance of a good movie these days, look to the indys. Otherwise it's Disney to the horizon. Movies are just game cutscenes, with titles.
Film is expensive. With digital, you never stop shooting. Of course the average quality will drop, you'll throw away a much higher %.
Plus everybody has a point and shoot on their phone. 99% of photographs are taken with a tiny lens, everything on auto. It's amazing they're as good as they are.
But compare to a kodak 110 instant, not a 10k$ medium format, to be fair to the 70s. Things are better at the low end.
Cell data is a competitive marketplace. They could just lease out half their towers, at least that way they'd save money.
They won't do anything like that (bring on a crypto war with their customers), because nobody wants 99% of data to be encrypted. Especially the com companies best customer...out of Maryland IIRC.
At the end of the day, none of this configuration, 5G etc will change a thing. For low ping gaming, you'll want a wire or fiber. If you're trying to game over cell data, in an urban cell full of active users, you're doing it wrong. If you have to game over a cell base station, good luck, don't play twitchy games. Get a kW linear + parabolic, lower your ping for sure, and you'll be able to roast brats in your datastream. That'll be cool...
So you point out costs that were known parts of the marginal costs?
I didn't write the contract, I'm sure there were other marginal costs you haven't included. Nobody claimed to have listed _all_ the details. If you had bothered learning what a marginal cost was, you'd have kept your trap shut.
You say that like it hasn't been true for all press secretaries back to the invention of radio, likely before that.
All great liars believe their own bullshit, at least at the moment they are slinging it. Bill believed his own bullshit, Hillary didn't. You could see and hear the difference...maybe not 'you', but that was just you believing your own bullshit.
Do you know what 'perverse economic incentives' are?
They are what you get when you run an economy using simplistic metrics. Leads to: overbuilt empty cities, structures built only to game local land buyout rules, stock bubbles, real estate bubbles.
China has absolutely _failed_ to build a strong domestic market for its goods.
You are free to put all your money into the Shanghai stock exchange. Go for it. Buy some 99 year leases on condos too. You can't lose!
Strong AI in a couple of decades. But we don't know where to start...you are full of shit.
You also don't know _anything_ about manufacturing. Our manufacturing employment has been in decline, our manufacturing is just fine, we aren't Europe. And we import more $ worth of manufactured goods from Mexico than China.
They investigated where it came from. The initial story fell apart when they asked they guy they supposedly got it from, he denied everything. Then they all pointed fingers at each other.
Everybody plays by capitalist rules in the end. They are the 'real world'...capitalism exists in every economic system, sometimes underground.
FYI The USA has the most automated manufacturing sector on the planet. Which I'll grant is partly due to our schools terrible job of educating 'the slow ones'.
If your hinging your argument on AI, you really should learn the difference between strong AI and carefully trained neural nets.
There is no comparison between printing money and maintaining an exchange rate peg. When we print money, it has positive and negative effects (mostly negative). Every nation prints money, the behavior is reflected in global currency flows and exchange rates.
They just wave their hands and set official exchange rates. Eventually the Chinese peg will be as meaningful as the Venezuelan one, granting the 100% industrial utilization metric is better, but the Chinese economy is much better than Venezuela's.
Bitcoin is currently useful to Chinese citizens that are awake. The smart ones are already moving money out of China ASAP.

We'll just move battery packs and motors from trucks into compacts. Hooning will continue.

LImiting vehicle horsepower and hooning. Empowering the anti-fun brigade and emboldening them to kill the next fun thing.
The upside, of course, is that it encourages healthy disrespect for laws and teaches young people how to cheat early.
Raquel Welch...first you'll have to move that damn cat.
The 'up the butt' answer was also actually given on the Newlywed Game.
They try to recoup losses when they 'feel' they can extort any money from anyone with their staff shysters.

Kick the CEO of State Farm in the balls until he pukes too.
She bought the phone at least 4 months after it was discontinued (Sept 2013 per Wiki).
Who did she buy the phone from?
Who made the battery in it when it burned?
WTF happened to /.? We all hate Apple and all, but this? Really? Kick the lawyer in the balls until he pukes.
IBM lawyers were known as the Nazgul in the 1960s. It's not new.
Are you kidding?

This isn't banned by net neutrality. Rate limit by type, consistently applied. Hyperventilate elsewhere.
You know what you get when you leave DRM out of HTML5?
Proprietary players, as far as the eye can see...one for every site. 90% infested with marketing shit and toolbars.

He could hire Dick Morris's security. Morris is still alive, his security has to be the world's most badassed.

They won't last 10 before their bubbles pop.
That was their first story. Later they formed a finger pointing circle.
Go outside at 6pm today you fuckwit. Notice where 'yellow eye' is in the sky.
It's already hot as fuck by 1, but it keeps creeping up until the sun is about ready to set.
