They are relying on the recent advancement in lithium battery technology (that enables solid state storage at a higher density) to reduce the cost of batteries for their cars since they will be able to get that same range with fewer batteries. I would expect to see Tesla putting out cars with double what Hyundai is quoting on their base models long before 2021.
As long as you keep insisting of shitty pay and have hard-ass requirements (strict drug screening and physical requirements) then you are going to continue getting people that just aren't that great. On top of that having to take orders from some asshole or face prison time isn't appealing in the least.
The problem here is that they are trying to fight a war of creativity using the most creativity stifling environment.
"In order to be on the Play Store, social networking apps need to demonstrate a sufficient level of moderation, including for content that encourages violence and advocates hate against groups of people"
Considering that Whatsapp and Telegram are both on the Play Store, who is lying, Whatapp/Telegram developers or Google?
Trick question, you are lying to yourself because those aren't social networking apps.
They can explain all they want, but the Google that claimed "A free and open world depends on a free and open Internet." cannot without contradiction ban an app from its store for the crime of _not censoring its users sufficiently_.
Google is part of a corporation based on making a profit. They can and will lie cheat and steal as it suits them, just like the current US president. What irks me is the idiots who insist this is unfair despite wanting the government to not interfere with private affairs, which this is. It's a free market, so they are all free to fuck right off.
Wrong, states merely need to tax the people that are doing the damage. For example, large trucks do 10000x the damage to the road as a normal car so why don't we tax them based on how much damage they do? Whenever a company releases pollution into the environment, they should be charged the amount that it costs to clean that up. This would upend the power structure of lots of states which is why they don't want to do that because then where will they get their campaign funding from?
What we need to do is understood but actually following through with it will take someone that's willing to do the right thing even at their own expense, not these political idiots without any balls.
Or, alternatively, this is what happens when you destroy the job market...
A) If environmental regulation is slowly becoming onerous then it's a sign you are doing something very wrong and should change. Frankly, companies that pollute the environment should be 100% financially responsible for cleaning it up. B) The renewable energy market has created 10x the number of jobs that it's "destroyed". C) Coal jobs are being lost natural gas, nothing else.
The rich already pay 80% of all tax in the US
$100K/yr isn't what it used to be, so not a qualifier for being "rich". How much are the people that make $1M/yr paying? Also, instead of just the income tax, let's include ALL taxes. For some reason taxation is highly regressive which means the people with the least end up paying the largest percentage. Let's turn that around.
while the "poor" 45% Democrat voting block who thinks the rich don't pay enough pay ZERO taxes
The poor pay zero taxes because their pay hasn't increased for the last 40 years while the value of their income has decreased for the last 40 years which has caused them to fall below the poverty line. Yes, for some reason, you can have a full time job and still be impoverished because assholes aren't paying you what you are really worth.
but enjoy all the general benefits as well as free healthcare, free housing, free food, free phones...
Literally none of those things are free. I would also point out that Republicans voters are the ones who benefit the most from the ACA which is why despite having majority control of The Senate, The House and the presidency, Republican politicians were incapable and unwilling to reduce the coverage by the ACA.
That said, the federal government as well as most states mentioned don't have an income problem, they have a spending problem.
Yeah, who needs the police, firefighters, hospitals, schools or any of that shit, right? How about we cut subsides to all energy companies and farmers? Then lets go further and tax companies/farmers the exact amount of money that it costs to clean up their pollution. The free market would absolutely eviscerate the market of polluters as it exists today and solar would be the preferred energy source and beef would be 25x the cost of chicken.
I'm all for the free market as long as they are taxed based on the amount of damage they do to the planet.
Arg! If those d[ihpst]{6}s used regular expressions you wouldn't get d[bhimust]{7} mistakes like that! You also may get much better at the Daily Jumble.;)
I see a lot of comparisons of wind and solar to coal and natural gas. Why not compare it to nuclear?
The base investment for nuclear power is 10 billion dollars. It's a regulatory nightmare and there is resistance against it by some people. There is also the cost of cleaning up a reactor if it melts down and all the evacuations required because of it. You have to factor in things going wrong.
By comparison wind and solar is expensive, dirty, deadly, and did I mention expensive?
Solar can be decentralized and allow people to never have to pay an electric company again. Being connected to "the grid" should be considered a vulnerability. Also, solar never threatens to an area uninhabitable for several generations.
If these articles want to convince me...
They don't want to convince you just people that aren't hellbent on using power source XYZ.
In the US kids can have credit cards and debts. My 11 year old niece has a debt card
Actually, no, that's not true. In the US a minor cannot enter into a contract and therefore can have neither bank account nor credit card. However, an account can be created on behalf of an adult for a minor. Ultimately, this means that the adult has control of the accounts until the minor becomes 18 years of age.
What people aren't grasping is that this is actually good news. When someone breaks security, it forces the device maker to improve their security tactics (lest they be considered insecure devices). The result is that people will get better security. The same is not true about cell towers because telecom companies don't care if your shit is insecure.:/
While I'm glad they are working to disinfect mice, I have to say that the lack of support for USB mice makes this a non-starter. I asked them about PS/2 mice and still no go! Finally, I asked this would work with serial mice and they said, "yeah, mice love cereal, especially if it's sugary." So unless you have serial mouse from 1989 that's been dusted with sugar, this is a worthless add-on and I'm pretty sure the sugar is going grow more bacteria!
I don't know about you but when a job can be automated then I think it should be automated because it saves a human from doing an unfulfilling job. This may put a bunch of people out of work but is a separate issue that should be addressed on it's own. Not having to work is an ideal, not a curse.
If you look at the naming history, it's "Bridge", "Well", "Lake" and soon "Creek". They haven't announced the name but it's clear by the time they offering "Ice Lake" they'll be really far up "Shit Creek" sans paddle.;)
It's quite clear that none of Intel's offerings can compete with what AMD has just released which leaves Intel playing the game it knows best: deceit. This display is merely a ploy to save face by talking about a theoretical processor they may make. I have no doubt that Intel is up to it's old anti-competitive tricks again and paying off companies to not sell computers with AMD chips and such. My only hope is that this time around they get their asses handed to them.
We didn't know who had the more edgier trigger finger on the red button: the Russians or Ronald Reagan.
Well as it would turn out, it was Reagan. In fact, Mikhail Gorbachev tried to to cut a deal with Ronald Reagan to get rid of nuclear weapons but Ronnie declined because he wouldn't keep his "STAR WARS" program inside the lab for 10 years. He didn't have to cancel the program, just keep it in the lab for 10 years. Just think, we could have ended all this bullshit decades ago but ego got in the way.
This is the result of a government with a low level of voter representation and it's one that many predicted.
Antifa’s perceived legitimacy is inversely correlated with the government’s. Which is why, in the Drumpf era, the movement is growing like never before. As the president derides and subverts liberal-democratic norms, progressives face a choice. They can recommit to the rules of fair play, and try to limit the president’s corrosive effect, though they will often fail. Or they can, in revulsion or fear or righteous rage, try to deny racists and Drumpf supporters their political rights. From Middlebury to Berkeley to Portland, the latter approach is on the rise, especially among young people.
The less representative our government becomes, the more violent the general public will become. Rigging a game so that you win will not prevent the other person from flipping over the table.
You can tell by the police response - the police generally left the Unite the Right protestors alone and only had to deal with the violent so-called "antifa" fascists who were there to cause trouble.
Yet are we seeing antifa websites taken down and Black Lives Matter servers shut down? No. No we are not.
You would see them taken down if members started driving cars into crowds of people.

Your argument is sadly dated.. and your inability to meet the requirements of a job listing.. is your fault.
Yes, the people in power felt the same way... and they they got humiliated during a public challenge because of it. https://www.theregister.co.uk/...

Wrong, states merely need to tax the people that are doing the damage. For example, large trucks do 10000x the damage to the road as a normal car so why don't we tax them based on how much damage they do?
