Just having Bash installed does not make a system vulnerable. In order for the system to be vulnerable you also need to provide a method for a remote party to pass an environment string to the Bash shell. This would typically be handled via CGI when the web server hands GET and POST data via an environment variable to a Bash script. I do not believe Apache call to Bash for launching a Perl based CGI script so the global attack surface should be pretty small. I do not think I have seen a Bash CGI script since the 90's.
NO! What I am saying is that we should not be subsidizing either technology because it will only serve to artificially distort the market. Having said that there is a big different between providing short term incentives and propping up a market. There may have been an argument at one point to subsidize the oil industry the U.S. was in the early stages of building our economic engine, but those days have long past. The oil industry is no longer fueling growth, but instead it is inhibiting innovation. The savings people could realize in either reduced fuel costs and/or reduced taxes would be put to much more productive use in our economy.
You math is off on a number of counts. The tax incentive is between 5.6% and 17.6% depending on the model, options and state incentives. Tesla Model S prices range from $71,070 to $132,420. Incentives start with a federal incentive of $7,500 plus up to an additional $5,000 incentive depending on your state.
However, I think that your largest mis-calculation is assuming that electric car sales would go down if we eliminated ALL automobile related subsidies. It is easy to see how much the unsubsidised cost of owning and operating an electric car would be, but what would be the impact if we stopped providing oil exploration subsidies, direct oil company operating incentives, and oil shipping lane protection services. I let you off on the cost of wars being that cost is split among protecting oil supplies, protecting international stability, providing humnatarian aid, and just pumping up good ol' American pride.:) Oh, and let's not forget the 100% incentive for purchasing a highend SUV. http://www.forbes.com/sites/ja...
I'll give you a hint . . . the average annual operating cost of a gas powered vehicle would increase by a more than $5,000 per year (assuming oil companies were able to protect shipping lanes at military rates instead of full commercial service rates).
I generally agree with the challenges with an appartment, but a garage is not necessary. I live in an older neighborhood where there are no garages and several people have Leafs. People generally install charge stations on the side of their houses and plug the cars in while in their driveways.
I have seen a couple of newer appartment comlexes provide a row of charge stations as well. I believe that even providing a row of low cost 110 outlets is sufficient for most daily driving.
It takes about the same amount of electricity to drive an electric about 20 ~ 30 miles as it takes to refine 1 gallon of gasoline. Every other step in the fuel process [extracting, transporting, distributing and pumping] can be considered a direct and unrecoverable loss in this comparison.
Don't go through the trouble of buying anything. There are dozens of service providers with professional equipment who can convert these tapes for you for less than the cost of the cheapest equipment you can buy. Try a google search for "VHS Transfer."
I think the problem with the current situation is inconsistent laws. I understand why dealership laws exist. I even support a state's right to prevent direct selling of vehicles. But the Interstate Commerce Clause absolutely prevents states from barring the an out of state sale and the transport of the otherwise perfectly legal product back in state as if should.
I think that the missing law is one which prevents states from taxing purchases made in other states. Such Nevada, Texas, Arizona and Virginia can prevent me from purchasing a Tesla in their states. But why are they allowed to then tax my purchase? The underlying justification for a sales tax is to cover the cost incurred by state and local governments which provide countless services facilitating the sales and trading of goods. If they interfere with the sales and trading goods then they have no basis for levying a sales tax on those goods. And as long as those goods are otherwise legal I should be free to purchase these goods in other states and ship them to my home . . . free of any local sales tax.
I have a solution this this repeated problem. They should run an electric mesh fence around the edge of the reservoir. When idiots decide to take a leak they will be in for a serious shock. If expense is an issue they can set up cameras and live stream then next idiot. The ad revenue of the video going viral should cover the costs.
Agreed. And as the mix of electricity generation continues to get cleaner, every existing electric car currently on the road gets cleaner as well. In the case of Mazda, if we are to believe that their new engines will have a serious impact on emissions we will have to wait 1) until they release a car with the new technology, 2) an average of 5 years for people to trade in their old cars and purchase new cars, and 3) for enough people to actually purchase the new cars with Mazda's new technology. Even if Mazda delivers on their promise and doubles their market share they will at best have a marginal impact on overall automobile related pollution especially when compared to electric cards.
To your point it take between 4 ~ 7.5Kwh of electricity for refine 1 gallon of gas. Electric cars can travle about 4 miles per Kwh. That mean that an electric car can travel between 16 ~ 30 miles on the same electricity that it takes to refine 1 gallon of gas. In effect gas cars generate the same amount of CO2 from electricity production per mile as an electic car, but add to the mix all the CO2 generated from drilling, extracting, shipping, refining [the chemical side of the process] and distributing fuel.
The most honest well-to-wheel analysis I have seen suggest that an electric car charged with the dirtiest type of coal plant is roughly on par with a gas car which get 50 miles per gallon. The US has a roughly 50% mix of coal generated electricity across the nation. If Mazda is claimng that a 30% improvement in their car is cleaner than current electric cars they must be trying to prove their point with a theoretical edge case.
So your grievance is that groups which should not qualify for the tax status if they are political were delayed with their participating in the political debate?
Hmmm, could it possibly be that none of the scandals stick because there is an overabundance of noise based on non-scandals? I am not saying that there are not real issues with Obama or that there are not things that could raise to the level of scandal. I am just saying that there is so much B.S. being thrown at Obama that any real scandal would get lost in the mix.
I understand how the "errors" comment relates to #8 & #9, but how does it relate to #10? Have you read the Wealth of Nations? What errors did you find? I suspect that you have been exposed Adam Smith's work via someone else's filter and interpretation.
Unlike Atlas Shrugged and The Communist Manifesto, The Wealth of Nations does not take a position and is consistantly observational throughout the book based on data of the time. Although Adam Smith is often noted as the father of capitalism, he is first and foremost a philosopher. It is clear throughout his works that he does not always agree with what he observes, but lays out the facts regardless. Most people latch onto the observations regarding self-interest in The Wealth of Nations and extrapolate it to mean that "greed is good" when in fact Smith is more focused on the notion that people have to do what is best for themselves and their families. A reading of his earlier work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, expands upon his observations and helps balance the nuanced conflicts within each of us and society as a whole.
No, there is a big difference. It is incredibly difficult to single out individual gasoline car fires among the tens of thousands whereas it is easy to single out each and every Tesla which catches fire.
As the old saying goes, "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic." Currently Teslas are not able to hide behind any statistics and so each and every event takes on a disproportinate significance.
People being interviewed who were on the plane keep says that passengers hit their heads on the ceiling during the crash. Being this crash was during the landing how was this possible. People should be have been fastened in their seat. Did the seat belts fail? Did the fuselage flex that far? Did the overhead bins flex down? The news media has been repeating this "fact." What are people's thoughts on this mystery?
What upsets me is that in many top program there is a forced curve. There is nothing worse than studying your ass off and being pushed down a letter grade due to a crop of cheaters. It seems that some grades should be restated for previously classes these cheaters completed.
To be fair it took me several times before I could figure out what he was saying. Radiolingua really needs to create a "Coffee Break Scottish." This might even need to be a prerequisite to their other instructional series.
If the project has momentum then the absolute worst thing that you can do is resist adding additional people to the project. If you do not understand how additional people can increase project velocity and add value then you are not experienced enough to make that decision and it will show to all of management. What you need to do is be strategic about how the team grows.
First you need to think deeply about what you do not know. What are the organizational hurdles you are likely to face? At what stages of the project will you be over-allocated as a resource? How many presentations and one-on-one conversation will be necessary keep momentum? How will this project be monetized? How will the end product integrated into an existing offering? Or how will the end product be marketed and sold?
Once you have a good inventory of what you will need, sit down with management and talk about how to address these needs--this alone will earn you a lot of respect. Ask who will likely be assigned to the project. Start taking these people out to lunch to discuss the project. If they are more senior they will generally offer to pay. Don't hesitate to pay even if out of your own pocket. It will show how committed you are to the project and organization. During these lunches ask questions about the process other successful projects have gone through and the types of problems your project is likely to face. NOTE, it is critical to not be defensive or offer too many pre-baked solutions during these meetings--it will come of arrogant, dismissive and impulsive. It is much better to say things such as, "I have some thoughts around this, but need to vet the ideas with people who can really help shape them." You will have opportunities to solve the problem in due time, or even better to have other people "solve the problems" with your solutions.
Ask if you can be a part of the decision making process for attaching additional people to the project. If you are included, be very judicious using any perceived veto power. It is better to raise concerns and shape involvement than to try to establish a front. Of course, there are always cases where lines should be drawn, but if you have voiced realistic concerns then you can keep management up to date if you seen things going awry. If you are not included, accept that decision maturely and remain engage in the process. You will likely have more influence on the side lines than you realize.
As the project grows you will need to find an exit from your technical role. You will need to own the vision, but you will not have time to execute all the technical details. Mentor people to take over the details and build as many documented repeatable processes as possible.
Learn how to present your ideas. You will likely be invited to more presentations. Know your place in these presentations. You have more to lose than gain if you say too much. Be there as the "guru with upside" instead of being the "one-hit wonder" or the "wild card."
Good luck! I hope you do well. Don't be afraid of not knowing something. Nobody knows everything. Embrace other people's capabilities especially when you don't understand what they do or who they can help. These are generally the people you really need.
I am guessing that people in Australia rent DVDs because the Internet is really expensive there. Many providers do not have unlimited bandwidth offerings. I swear that thee is only one, maybe two, dial-up lines to the island.
