Tell that to the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS). You can restrict how you accept cash, but you have to accept it.
For example, I can't pay more than $10,00 in pennies. But you can't refuse a $10 bill. You could say you don't carry pennies. And if I owed $9.98 then I'd lose $0.02 on the transaction, but since it's less than the usual and customary $0.25 to $0.40 carrying charge for debit and credit services, it's still cheaper for me to use a $10 bill.
You posted a statement, I posted an observation of undisputed fact. You then posted a conclusion that neither of us had previously addressed, and incorrectly presume that was either a) your first observation, or b) my second observation.
Valid points. But this patch was never about better battery performance, it was about the pre-arranged security holes that had become known outside of the mil int reservations and weaponized.
By that measure, the patch is a good solution. But Apple should address the issues you raise.
You forgot to change the default settings for your apps. You can do the following:
1. For podcasts they default to checking and downloading every hour. Yes, every hour. Reset these to Every Day, or for weekly podcasts, Every Week. For podcasts that post during the day, consider Every 6 Hours. Each time it checks it will connect, search, and download.
2. Turn off apps you don't want running when you have Wireless or Cell service. A lot of times you only want one of these.
3. Turn off Sync for almost anything. The only exception tends to be Calendar.
4. Turn off Bluetooth if you're not using it.
5. Always turn things off in Settings. Never use the pull down pull up menus to turn things off. That will only turn things off for one hour.
6. Every patch, Apple resets everything. Go check again, they probably turned them on. They just turned on my Ring on Notification even after I had turned it off, once the patch was installed. Yes, it's a royal pain.
Look, I know how all of you think it's all swiss chees and a patchwork quilt, but it's really a set of Regional Compacts.
We in the Free States - places like NY, TX, WA, OR, CA and whoever joins our 60 percent of GDP - create a basic legal framework which we all agree on.
You in the deadender states - aka "the backwaters" - let the Feds ride roughshod over you.
It's like how we do Renewables in the Free States that makes us more competitive than your subsidized fossil fuels, and how we do Carbon Taxes that allow us to recaptute the carbon taxes you in the deadender states already pay other countries when you buy or sell goods or services to them (they keep your carbon taxes, it's part of the transaction), while we in the Free States keep our carbon taxes and invest them locally, and pay less in carbon taxes to the other nations. Which, also, makes us more competitive than the deadender states.
Think of it as the Hansardic League. Or the EU. You can either join and pay no taxes, or you can stay outside and pay lots of taxes to everyone else and get slower internet than we in the Free States do. We still pay less than you, and because you're not part of a Regional Compact you have no bargaining power.
Obviously, given the funding sources for these extremist groups, you could also identify them thru people who, for personal gain, are against legalized MJ, and then correlate that with Blockchain ads. I find a lot of the fake FB and Twitter bots in those groups.
Bitcoin and tulips both look pretty, and have about as much use.
It's in the SEC filings that the CEO cashed out a larger than usual quantity of stock option exercises and then sold them, starting literally the day he found out about the flaws.
Trust him if you want, but as a longtime tech investor, I wouldn't.
1. Battery tech continues to improve, both in charge time, discharge, and cost factors. Literally I've seen 20 basic patents for this in just the last two years here at UW Seattle. Thus, it's not worth buying, as the battery depreciates in value more rapidly than the car. Early EVs had 3-7 year lifespans and new battery tech usually means a retrofit to some of the internal systems or the chargers. So by leasing, you avoid buying into one form of tech, and can buy the winning tech (highest ROI and/or range) when the market stabilizes due to economies of scale.
2. Fear of accessibility. Vehicle charge routes keep changing, you may move or get a new job location and find it difficult to charge on either end. This affects renters and salespeople more than others.
3. Massive tax subsidies and exemptions for fossil fuel infrastructure and fleet purchases in the US make them less likely, except in urban car rental and rideshare scenarios.
In general (and anyone who took Engineering Physics could tell you this), colder temperatures increase the efficiency of battery usage.
Where you may be confused is that people in cold climates tend to use windshield wipers and heaters more frequently. Fossil fuel engines use the waste heat from the car engine to provide this, so it doesn't "cost" any more energy, but battery (EV) cars have to use electricity to provide the heaters and run the wipers. In addition, cold climates tend to correlate to longer periods of darkness, so the electric lights are run more, and sometimes used both internally (to see) and externally (to illuminate) when not in motion.
So, technically, you are not correct that EV are less efficient in the cold. They just are less efficient at wasting most of the energy from their fuel source on heating air.
That's great news. I remember when the life span of CO2 being bandied about was 1000 years. Nice to see that we are finally getting answers to some of these really difficult questions. Now if we can just nail down the heat trapping effects of CO2, we'll know if there is anything to get excited about.
It depends on which gas. Some only last a few years, some last a few decades, some last a few centuries. The most toxic have lifespans of only a few decades but cause a lot of damage (e.g. methane, aka "cow farts"), so even in small supply they measure more. A lot of the methods used to reduce acid rain also work to reduce global warming emissions; in fact, China and India switching to 1980s tech water scrubbers and other methods to reduce coal impacts can literally cut their countries emissions in half, presuming they don't grow more cows. In the US we could switch to bison for "beef" and cut emissions around 1/10th to 1/20th from the cattle industry, due to feedlots, grazing ranges, and water consumption; or we could eat beetles ground up into powder. I personally prefer bison, myself. Although a nice roasted witchety grub is yummy.
The main thing is not being confused between natural sources and human sources. Clearing forests counts as human sources, even though some of it is done after forest fires, which are natural sources. There's some variability. Of course, if we could just set off the Yellowstone Supervolcano, all this would be moot. Same goes for aiming giant asteroids at major population centers. I personally don't want those, but they would have major impacts, and cause clearing in just a few years of a lot of stuff.
It's actually stored in the Chinese Military databases, not by WeChat, they're just a passthru. It's like if you asked if any of the early network hijack software I wrote "stored user data", I could say "No", because it would pass it on to the collector dumps and then delete it once passed on.
The world is a lot more fun than we let on, and a lot of stuff they thought was turned off is still running, in places you would never guess. Always inspect the total stream, not the official bounded stream. Signals are everywhere.
As the arctic is impacted, the currents shift, and the temperature differential from the 80 percent of the world that is much hotter and the colder relative temperatures north cause stronger cold air currents to flow across open bodies of water, increasing snow fall. The melting glacial output from Greenland is also affecting the water temperature at different gradients, making the colder currents.
That's still weather. Weather is driven by current impacts. Climate change is like your car engine, running faster and stronger because you keep pushing the pedal more and more. Even if you stop putting CO2 and other gasses into the atmosphere, the mean lifetime of these emissions is anywhere from 20 to 200 years, so it's like the foot on the pedal is weighted down by all the coffee you've been drinking and you need to: a. stop drinking coffee that makes you want to push down; and b. go to the bathroom and relieve your bladder, so your leg is less heavy. OK, that last one is a bad analogy, but I'm trying to tell you to: a. stop drinking coffee (emissions) and b. go to the bathroom (remove existing emissions, most of which are from 1933 to 1999).
A lot of older folk here enjoy having a quiet day out, pogoing to the latest EDM and windsurfing with orcas, before a relaxing bike ride across the world's longest floating bridge and a visit to a local brewery, vineyard, or chocolate factory with friends.
It could be the exercise.
It could be the socialization.
It could be knowing our houses are worth more than your estates will ever be worth in your lifetime.
In some ways, you're correct. Biofuel is a net negative carbon emitter, if done properly (e.g. Brazilian crop waste, Forestry waste, things that would decompose or burn and emit various climate change gasses).
The thing is, if done to replace the current waste, it does reduce emissions quite a bit, which is a good thing, provided the energy is captured and used for processes which need energy, as it then replaces those inputs.
Cradle to grave, my friend. Everything is cradle to grave. For nuclear, for example, you have a very very long tail and a destructive mining and operational impact. If you only measure during operation, nuclear looks green, but in the real world, the impacts at the extraction and processing and storage ends are a nightmare.
California will be 50 percent renewables soon. Most of the NE and West already are between 10 and 25 percent renewables. Part of why it's cheaper to manufacture in these areas: cheaper energy.
Fossil fuels are rapidly disappearing. Even Texas uses both wind and solar.
Adapt. Nobody is saving fossil fuels. Your day is over.

The Hill, a longtime newsletter, today (as in a few minutes ago) reported that the bill has sufficient votes to require a Floor Vote of the Senate.
Nice try. It's 2018, not 2017. You need to learn how government works.
It's legally accepted anywhere for all payment of debts and transactions.
It has no surcharge.
It has no interest rate to use it.
And it has the signature of a Bond Villain on it!
That was 2017. It's 2018. Pay attention.
