Not entirely sure how equitable taxing and spending by the federal government has anything to do with state border tariffs. Neither does it have anything to do with the Commerce Clause.
Used Nissan Leafs can be had for under $10K. Are you red states truly, and uniformly that incapable of standing on your own two feet, pulling yourselves up by those boot straps you keep telling us about to provide even this meager of an income to your families? What weak, and worthless refuse you folks must be. It is no wonder your leaders want to cast you off to wither and die in the gutter. In spite your worthlessness, I commend you for continuing to cast votes to sacrifice yourselves to this fate.
In fairness wealthy farmers are a truly rare species; mostly residing in Napa Valley. The money pools within the calorie companies while the farmers beholden to the same struggle to keep from drowning.
Tell you what. We blue states will give up our federal subsidies if you red states agree to give up yours. In the spirit of fairness, though let's expand this. Since we don't wish for you red states to pay an undue burden supporting us blue states with your hard earned money, let's divide taxation and federal spending equally. What the red states put into the federal budget, the red states get back in federal spending within their borders; what blue states put in blue states receive back.
That may be the US' more recent history. However, traditionally from its founding it has rather been quite the other way around. The revolt of the alt-right is just trying to put things back in their historical positions, albeit with a modern, "tiki-torch" kind of flare.
Unless this includes a policy reversal, Trump still get's a pass since he's basically their financial lifeline right now--err em, excuse me... I mean "news worthy."
Easier to detect and deal with a fire, in a pressurized volume accessible by crew than an unobserved, unpressurized one with no access, and hundreds of other bags sitting on and/or around it.
Sounds like it'd make for an inconvenient few days prior to leaving... Besides, last I knew the Apple crowd could NOT remove their batteries. It's a handy way to force obsolescence when you don't feel like refreshing your hardware offerings.
Hopefully in those same few years we'll have the hyperloops up and running. Though with respect to the US, I suppose my hope of that is a bit diminished.
What do I not get about people with eating disorders that would cause them to short-circuit by seeing a calorie estimate if they walked? Seems to me that it'd make for a positive motivator; it would encourage people to dare I suggest, "walk." I have a hard time seeing this as anything more than guilt avoidance by people choosing exercise impoverished lifestyles.
To me it looked like a pretty cool feature. It posed a "what if" that might encourage me to opt-in to walking when I otherwise might not have decided to walk and therefore opened my exercise tracking app. That's kind of a shame, I hope they revisit the idea, and just pacify the nay-sayers with an "off" switch.
The point of this new ID is such that it CAN be used by businesses, securely. A common idea tossed out by the tech community would be to use something similar to public key cryptography wherein you have revocable certificates. Your certificate (ID) becomes compromised, revoke and reissue.
At some point the "States Rights," "Big Brother," "Don't Tread on Me" folks are going to have to concede the fact that they're US citizens and need to have a unique identifier as such. With rare exception, US citizens have already been assigned a unique identifier by default with their SSN. By their perpetual protests against a nation ID they've forced governments and NGOs to this lowest common denominator to everyone's detriment.
One might think you'd have already installed the software prior to the cataclysm. Also, nothing prevents you from saying "no" to the GPS request, nor from providing an alternative ZIP if you really don't want to offer your real one. It simply assists with station presets.
The threats of AI come in a variety of forms and none of them require a present understanding of the construction of AI's evolutionary endpoints.
The most ignored and more immediate threat comes from AI driven weapons systems. The AI doesn't need to be sophisticated, it just needs to control the trigger, then produce an unintended output. A drone, misinterprets its inputs and attacks a politically sensitive target creating a cascade reaction of escalation; e.g. drone attacks a Russian diplomatic convoy it calculated was ISIS; or maybe someone thinks it'd be funny to hack a drone changing it's I.F.F. calculation from 'false' to 'true'.
On the other extreme, we assume a series of breakthroughs leading to Asimov/Terminator style AI, that decide we're no longer needed. This version seems to be the focus of everyone and their ridicule. To imagine Watson pulling together a J-Day is quite ridiculous and deservedly so. That however does not mean AI is going to be stuck in this cul-de-sac forever. There's no reason to believe someone will not one day make a breakthrough. Just because we're presently evolving sticks, bows and knives, doesn't mean thermo-nuclear weapons won't show up at some point.
You're absolutely right. Nearly every automobile manufacturer isn't racing to develop competitive electric vehicles; nor are countries/cities establishing or contemplating near future bans on ICE vehicles. You're absolutely right, no one else is racing to create their own reusable launch vehicles because Musk didn't do anything particularly interesting with the F9 first stage and they don't feel threatened at all by its development. You're absolutely right, no one cares about his hyperloop dreams, nor are there multiple entities racing to build them around the world. And, of course low friction, decoupled, online payment processing was done by a dozen others long before him.
If causing large scale industry disruption wherever he goes makes him nothing more than a self-aggrandizing hack, I'd hate to see what you call a revolutionary.

I agree. But when do we stop picking fossil fuels and nuclear?

What do you say?
It's not much more than a placebo fix since Japanese workers are very hesitant to take a holiday anyway.
I've heard that it's pretty common to semi-retire and take up day trading from home.
No
Naw, genocide is cool because $$$. It's the small time operators like ISIS, and Tsarnaev that can't get any love.
Trump said some were good people.

In this signatureless world how does one impede wait staff from writing their own tips and handing you a placebo to fill out?
Where does this "pink" cupcake come from? I saw the Twitter screenshot. There's not a cupcake, only a calorie count.

Just install the software, e.g. NextRadio. Or can't you be bothered to go to the app store? FM radio works perfectly well on my S8+ (US model).

At this point, I assume with total confidence that my data is in the hands of someone it should not be.
It took you this long...
