Storage is the "next great myth" - a solution looking for a problem. And government handouts.
I was stuck behind storm Sandy in New Jersey and discovered that 99% of the problems there were self induced. Guess what - they don't trim trees away from the power lines. Every time you get wind, dozens to hundreds (or thousands in this case) or branches snap the lines.
Wealth seems to be a larger social stratus than culture. Not to mention that dense populations lose peer pressure because people simply don't know each other.
This is about teaching kids how to get away with a crime and be disrespectful.
The police are there to protect you, but unfortunately also to enforce laws that politicians write. If you don't like the laws then go after the politicians.
This anti-police crusade is no different than rioting and burning down your own neighborhood. Wrong target, wrong method.
Only partially true. While they believe that women should be barefoot in the kitchen, they also strive hard to send all engineer jobs overseas.
I think it's funny that people are surprised that burglaries are skyrocketing in Seattle (and to a lesser extent the rest of Washington). Legalized drugs and outlawed firearms has consistently lead to property crimes (and often assaults) increasing several hundred percent in other countries/states/cities.
Couple thoughts... first that people need to quit blaming police for asset forfeiture, and start blaming politicians that passed the stupid laws - and the only ones that can revoke them.
To take it a step further, most civil law should be revoked. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, and everything to do with who spends the most on lawyers.
Only for warm bodies. We out compete on results per dollar regularly. Unfortunately, management gets more promotions for having X people under them rather than Z results.
The world has gotten a bailout due to trillions spent on military forced stabilization.
I for one am boggled why some think they can change human nature. We consume. Start looking at how to adapt to climate change instead of some fantasy of avoiding it.
Real unemployment is 19% (6% short term, 6% long term, 0.5 * 15% underemployed). Use the U-6 if you want to be at least semi-realistic. Oh, and 23% wage reduction.
Hurricane Sandy $60b was 99% waste. I was there. Almost all damage was self induced, starting with failure to trim trees from power lines (over 10k outages).
Much better than Romney (Bush 2.0) but mediocre at best. Democrats are incompetent when it comes to economics. But Republicans are evil.
Cherry picking and exaggeration. There are problems with both extremes - so lets get back into the middle. Down with extremism! Which includes both political parties.

Add birth control to the top of that list. Most issues stem from overcrowding.
Fuel cells are 100% PR. Like solar cells, they are decades away from being economical.
I'd greatly prefer to see something practical and can be made today. A natural gas powered Honda Fit with an inexpensive home refueler would be ideal.

Incorrect. The french are more productive per hour, but not by much. Americans work a lot more hours and have a higher sum of productivity.
I've worked across the world and the only group that beats americans for "nose to the grindstone" is some groups in asia.
There's also the matter of effectiveness, and americans pretty much have everyone beat.
People are cheaper than rockets.
Harvard is clamoring for this because they smell profit.
Money drives everything.

If something takes forever then it's not a win. Maybe the FCC needs an app like Mr. Number.
Yes, the chinese cornered the market on mining rare earth then abruptly shut down exports to use it in their own manufacturing.
Nothing is permanent? You're right, and it shouldn't be. Time is money - those years after the breakup were worth it. Now do it again.
My local internet options are Terrible vs Atrocious. Competition is a decade late. Time matters. Now or never!
The real question is: "What's the cost?". The real cost, BEFORE all those subsidies.
Semis burn 5x more fuel yet cause 80x more damage.
Cost should be passed on to those that cause it.
You could hit people with books. Or fists. Or kick. Or baseball bat. Or knife. etc etc etc
Firearms threats are overrated.
Programming is far more Engineering than Art. The people that think it's Art are the uneducated ones reinventing the wheel.
I do agree with build tools though. Usually end up scripting those myself.
I tried to actually learn while in school. The teachers/professors gave me bad grades and said I wouldn't make it. Today I make twice as much as them.

On the contrary, science needs to override politics.
"Values" based politics has brought us war, depression, and misery. It has to be replaced by What Works. Facts. Results.
Otherwise the movie Idiocracy will be a documentary of the future.

After having worked in both SoCal and Florida, I'd choose Florida hands down. Maybe you should get out more.
Switching back and forth daily to different energy sources more than doubles the capital outlay. Bloody waste of resources.
Natural Gas, Coal, or Nuclear - nothing else has matured enough, and won't for decades.
You will after riding with it for miles. Relativity ya know.
