This isn't even closely related. Smoot Hawley was principally about exorbitant tariffs imposed upon imported goods. This is about making provisions for the common sales tax to be imposed upon all sales rather than solely domestic sales.
There are plenty of chemical/herbal compounds that you can take to improve cognitive abilities. However, aside from sleep with respect to controllable factors the absolute most powerful contributors to cognitive abilities are your diet and exercise. Both eating low quality (unhealthy) food as well as a sedentary lifestyle degrade cognitive performance immensely.
My advise to you would be to ditch McRotten and visit your local gym regularly. As a side benefit you just might find yourself sleeping better too.
You can't be serious..? S.O. is full of monkeys with precious little comprehension about the things they write let alone their theory of application. You might get a hint or two that could coalesce into some ideas for research inquiries but expecting something more foundational is only asking for trouble.
That assumes there's a buyer. Perhaps one day China might be one, but for now we're stuck with a chicken and egg type problem. This is why they're first going for the pragmatic strategy of targeting the Platinum group which might actually have a chance at yielding ROI even though they'll be shipping it back to Earth's surface.
The 10 asteroids idea is based upon the premise that the resources are going intended for consumption on Earth. For the first iteration of things this only makes sense. There's no benefit to Earth based investors in resources with delta-v requirements effectively locking them to the vicinity of the Jovian system. Nor is there any ROI on resources even from NEOs that isn't in the Platinum group. Even in iteration 2 we'll still be looking at NEOs as the resources will be required for Earth orbiting projects.
Graphics have be a part of C/C++ from nearly the beginning. They've been nearly worthless since the beginning (and probably still will be), but they've always been in there. This I suppose is just a refresh of "graphics.h" but instead of wrapping BIOS calls it's wrapping OS API. Perhaps this will serve as a good foundation for high-quality cross-platform GUI libraries but I'm leaning pessimistic.
Javascript became incomprehensible long ago, back when fools tortured the language into an object-oriented, scripting, assembly language complete with multiple personality and ADHD. You can't build a foundation upon semantic loopholes and expect anything good to come of it.
There are slight differences. Google is aware of everything you do and has a basic understanding of who you are through the associations you've made with them. They take their understanding of you and translate it into valuable tailored services with a side-order of targeted advertisements.
Facebook on the other hand has a less precise awareness of everything you do and has a poor to mediocre understanding of who you are through associations you've made with them. They take their understanding of you, tailor some advertisements as well and offer what they have on you to anyone willing to pull some change from their pocket. In exchange you are given a service that enables superficial social interactions and the gathering of additional data points.
There are many means by which to coerce governments, companies and individuals alike. The US federal government has long used funding as a means of gaining compliance from states. Apple recently received security clearance from the Pentagon for their iPhones and iPads. Perhaps there were certain conditions that Apple had to meet for that approval. The CIA has a long history of persuading individuals. What would happen to the Apple brand if it was revealed that Jobs had certain sexual eccentricities? That kind of thing.
If you want to live a deluded life waving a flag in one hand and the Constitution in other I guess that's your prerogative...
Thankfully, New Zealand isn't as 'backwater' and 'stupid' as the summary makes out.
You call the expense and inconvenience of replacing WiFi with Ethernet so as to appease a couple kid's emotional, irrational, and ignorant parents not evidence in support of that?"
That's interesting and may well be true, however can we please step back from the copse of trees to see the whole forest? That DNA is a fractal antenna is an interesting bit of trivia, but requires context for proper interpretation of what that means when applied to the scope of our everyday lives. Electromagnetic radiation is not a human invention, it has always existed, both in ionizing as well as non-ionizing wavelengths. For the average person, even in our electronic age, natural sources account for the greater portion of our day-to-day electromagnetic radiation exposure.
While it only deals with ionizing wavelengths I still want to call upon XKCD's radiation dose chart because it provides some much needed perspective. I would further like to include a nice little tutorial on EM. Before we even begin to pick on WiFi, there are plenty of other things in modern society we should ban first including, the Sun, cordless phones, cell phones, TVs, microwave ovens, electric space heaters, electric motors, baby monitors, analog radio stations, high-voltage power lines, etc.. I find it simply amazing how the same people whom are so concerned about radiation from cell phones, will think nothing of placing a baby monitor right next to their child's crib.
Being overprotective doesn't necessarily have much of anything to do with investing time in your child. You can chain a dog up--to keep them safe--and you can hire a dog walker to keep them occupied all without necessarily spending any of your own time playing with it. Frankly I see a lot of chained up dogs as well as a lot of strays, but far less often do I see involved parents.
It was my understanding that the Van Allen belts were a consequence of Earth's magnetic field deflecting particles. They're not a source of protection just the deflected stream of radiation. There have even been proposals to discharge and remove the belts.
I wonder would more profits come from incandescents that have to be replaced ever 1000 hours or LEDs that need be replaced 50 times less frequently?
You know I find what's happening with traditional batteries to be rather interesting. Rechargeable batteries are going for not much more than alkalines did perhaps 5 years ago. The result? Companies are now selling alkalines in these mega packs for peanuts. I wonder how they got so cheap all of a sudden? Surely they couldn't not have been profit taking for all those years? But don't worry I'm certain the incandescent lighting industry isn't as greedy.
Which is also why "special application" incandescent bulbs are not banned (in the US at least). I'm glad you care more about the bumper sticker than the car though.
I don't give a shit about a green planet. It all burns and will soon enough.

I'm confused. But then I suppose so are you. That can be the only explanation for your disregard for maintaining your food and water supply, as well as your disregard for the integrity of your livelyhood and lifestyle. I'm glad you care about the fraction of mercury in CFLs even if you couldn't care less about the large quantity spewed from coal power plants.
The "because f**k you is why" attitude is great, at least right up until the point someone else f**ks you. A lot of people care a bit more about equality and looking out for not only themselves but their neighbors as well. It is unfortunate that you are not one of them, but in spite of people like you we're not giving up on being good stewards of this rock we live on nor any of its inhabitants.
You're trying to solve a heating problem with a lighting solution. You would be better off with a "heating" solution. Perhaps you should be looking at something like this or this or if there's an explosion hazard maybe even this.

Alas I regret I must concede a point to you on this matter. Well met sir.

Sharks are solitary hunters. Unless they've manged to tag most of the sharks in the area the system is pointless window dressing.

Messing with the MIC is not conducive to a long, healthy life.
There's also plenty of instances of Linux being remotely comprisable[sic] this way.

Do ham operators normally use batteries or a generator when homes (presumably with LED lighting) already have power?
I tell you, defraying $2 over 10+ years is a brutal waste of money. You're right they shouldn't have banned $0.99 incandescents.
You might want to try a lower lumen bulb (or suggesting to your son that supper with be forthcoming right after he cleans his room).
Thank you for providing us with another example...
