My Roadster has it's own 100Amp circuit, but that's because it draws almost 7000 watts when charging. I had to have my home's 100Amp service entrance upgraded (to 300amps), and new conduit/copper run to the garage to handle it.
You know they'll simply increase the distribution cost on your power bill to pay for that new distribution infrastructure, correcrt? ComEd in Northern Illinois is in the process of doing a $135 million infrastructure upgrade. How is it being paid for? Increase in cost per KwH for transmission. There is no free ride.
I would not consider someone who makes $100 million/year trading oil on a commodities market to be a productive person. No value is added, only value extracted from a system.
The definition of "poor" is slowly encompassing more and more of the middle class in the US. I'd make sure you're on the right side when the pitchforks come out after the 21st century equivalent of "let them eat cake" occurs.
Think about other country's satellites you could steal, gut, and "borrow" they're technology. Anybody can put weapons or cameras in space. But to go up and remotely get something and bring it home? AWESOME.
The things you can do when you don't need to support a human passenger are pretty awesome. You could leave it up there forever and change orbits as long as onboard fuel allows. I believe this is proof-of-concept of on-orbit first strike capability. You can be anywhere in the world pretty damn quick when your craft in orbit clips along at tens of thousands of miles per hour.
If you had a replicator that made it identical, than yes, why not? What difference would it be from buying it from Prada and getting to resell it for $2000 due to first sale doctrine?
Just because you don't consider wind successful doesn't make it so. Coal is heavily subsidized, and doesn't have to pay for the radioactive material it emits into the atmosphere (which, by the way, is more radioactive material than a nuclear power plant emits).
Someone advocating for cheapest power at all costs (without taking externalities into account) does us all a great disservice.
You indeed can use RPM packages to deploy certs. When I was at a DOE lab working on LHC stuff, we had hundreds of CAs from all sorts of EDUs that needed to be installed on grid computing systems. All done with RPM package management (with yum of course).
Unless their job is to setup and manage a private certificate at their place of work, it would be utterly incompetent of them to waste their employer's time if it's to serve a small roll in the business.
Texas produces so much power from wind energy at the moment that they're racing to build high voltage lines to export it. I'd say that's pretty successful.
I'm cool with that, as it takes some extreme justification to support forced sterilization (drug addicts/welfare moms on their 27th child). But I also don't think we should provide tax deductions/credits/support for every child someone has. The first two are free (replacement level). Any other children you have? You pay their true economic cost, without society as a whole having to subsidize them.
Or to be more direct - if the population density of the US (or many other sparsely populated countries) was applied to the globe, our population levels would be completely sustainable. Why should we adopt population limiting measures?
Because life isn't as simple as just spreading everyone out.
Take away tax deductions for any children above replacement level (~2.2 in the US), and encourage education and development in the developing world so mother marry later and have many fewer children due to lower mortality rates.
The trick is simple. Help people lead better lives while taking away the subsidization of rampant consumption.
Try a Corvette if possible (I'm aware it's a bit above the Mustang's class). Renting is difficult, but buying one isn't that expensive if bought used (C6, the latest generation, go for about $27-29K at Carmax around here with 20-30K miles on them). I used to own a '99 Targa Top and '01 Convertible (both bought used) and they were awesome. Excellent handling and quite a bit of power.
If that's not your thing, I'd look at the Subaru WRX, a Lexus IS250, a Mini Cooper (++handling), or a Mazda RX-8. I've had great experiences with those vehicles.
Have you driven the Mustang though? I rented one in Florida a year or two back (V8), and it drove like one of their F150s. Fuel economy doesn't fix other engineering problems.
Cost of moving bits Cost of moving atoms. It's actually quite expensive to keep physical currency in circulation. If it's cheaper to have it all be bits, and can be done without a cut being taken in every transaction, it could be quite beneficial.
Wheel to well efficiency my friend. You know how much energy it takes to a) get oil out of the ground b) move that oil to refineries c) refine it b) move the finished product to a distribution point? Electricity wins hands down. Also, with a coal plant, you have a centralized, maintainable emissions control system. 100K catalytic converters between 1-20 years old? Not so much.

Who would've thought it'd be this hard?

Needs a Chrome extension. Used it extensively with Firefox, but no longer use Firefox =(
Can you use group policies with Chrome yet?

Wait, so you're telling me I should believe you over the consensus of 1,000+ scientists? *Nelson from the Simpson's Voice* HAHA!

Annual amount of US dollars sent to petro countries for fossil fuels: $900 million
Amount of that money we could keep in the US if we powered electric vehicles with renewable energy systems maintained in the US: $900 million
It's almost like there is some sort of.......return on investment or something like that.

Exactly. If Postgres can drive .org, I think it can drive near anything if done properly (well, not google, but anything smaller than that).
