Keep having fun, niche products are rewarding to enthuse about. The Macintosh. for example, has been a joy for it's owners for decades now. Like the Tesla, it only works if a small minority of the population can gain membership to the club.
Sounds like a pretty busy job, managing your charge level this way. Enthusiasts (the present customer base) may be into it. The general public won't be.
No, the situation is that the US and western interests want to build a natural gas pipeline across Syria to transfer oil for sale to Europe.
Russia wants to continue to control European countries' access to natural gas that they sell.
So the US is on the side of the companies that want to sell the natural gas, and Russia is defending their control of the natural gas market in parts of Europe.
The 'freedom' of the Syrians and the 'regime change' proposed by neocons and 'globalists' like the people who were backing Hillary and who seem to be attaining more influence over Trump recently, is sort of a farce. Those interests want their pipeline and Assad isn't giving it to them. Classic imperialism at play.
How do we mitigate a Yellowstone eruption? By giving the grizzly bears soft slippers to wear when they're tramping around? Giant asbestos blankets over Old Faithful?
Sorry for the silliness above, but exactly what can be done to stop a Yellowstone eruption, if one is immanent?
Do you want to pay $5 per month for your Gmail account?
Actually, yes, I pay about $10 a year for my email account, from Fastmail. I bought it after Google started getting weird about my gmail account, wanting a 'phone number' because 'bad things could happen to your account, you know....' I said the heck with that, having a permanent durable email address that can't be cancelled by some marketing operation is worth it to me.
That is true when it is laws that prohibit individuals from certain activities. In the case of laws that prohibit organizations from certain activities, when the organization is caught, it can easily be dismantled.
That's a big difference, and it debunks your notion that 'laws change nothing.' When the assets of the organization are being liquidated to pay the fine, a whole bunch of something is being changed.
So what you're saying is that in the 1960s when we kids all watched cartoons on Saturday morning, we were being 'sold' since the shows were free and sponsored by commercials?
No, Not true. The 'user is the product' meme is tired, incorrect, and people like you are wearing it out as a useful concept. Which is okay, but you're discrediting your argument with such a poor meme.
The point is, the methods of measuring intelligence are not precise. Hence, almost all people are in the middle, where their intelligence can not be differentiated from anybody else's intelligence. Hence the majority of people have essentially the same intelligence.
Cointelpro is a leaflet bullet point from J Edgar Hoover's FBI. It's decades old history. Are you saying today's FBI is the same as J Edgar Hoover's FBI?
A lot of people have done a lot of anguished soul-searching since "their side" lost the 2016 election. They can't possibly accept that "their side" ran a horrible campaign and thumbed their noses at a huge silent majority. No, it's all political trickery by people pulling strings. The only kind of politics they have ever understood.
Remember, half the population is of below average intelligence,
That is completely untrue. Intelligence is an inverted bathtub curve. Most people are of average intelligence, and it's not statistically possible to differentiate between them. So a huge hunk of the population is about the same intelligence.
Back doors aren't 'baked in' if you use pre-Core Intel processors.
I'd recommend an Alpha box over a MIPS SGI, though both can run Windows NT. Put Interix on top of it and you can build a whole GNU environment if you want.
You can also go with an Alpha box and install NetBSD or OpenBSD and then you can run the latest open-source browsers, not just a Netscape fossil.
Jobs was a big fan of the original Macintosh, which couldn't even be opened without special tools that were difficult to obtain.
I've always replaced that torx screw in the handle with a phillips of the same size any time I've acquired another dinkyscreen Mac. I have four or five of them at present. (of course, retaining the torx screw because it's part of the original equipment.)
Last time I looked at WalMart there were hardly any headphones at all on display that were not 'wireless.' I was in the mood to spend some money on a good pair of wired headphones. I know WalMart wasn't the place to start, but I for some reason had the idea they might have at least one or two choices of higher-quality brand-name headsets with a cable.

You guys are being so fancy.
The short and simple is:
"Tesla won't be successful."
It won't scale up to the whole world.

That sounds a little cultish. Are these people the 21st centuries' Airstream owners?
There is still one original washer on the seat clamp assembly,
You are ruining New Hampshire. The people who have lived there for generations want you to go away.

A good test for openness is whether something is in the NetBSD pkgsrc collection. This doesn't appear to be.
So what you are saying is:
1. Because a caribou out running on a plain is 'free' it has no value.
and
2. That you don't know what the fuck you are saying, but you type lots of words anyway.
Why do we even read the Anonymous Coward crap? A.C. comments should be restricted to about twenty words.
Better yet, don't pay much attention to what Anonymous Cowards type on websites.

If you are ignorant and it's confusing, just say so. Don't imply the speaker is rambling.

The Clintons are 'third way' moderate Democrats. It is indeed correct that the Clinton ideology is bankrupt.

Too much 'science' today consists of gathering a ton of data and clobbering it with statistics.
That's a dangerous trend. It's not science.
So you just watched television and viewed pictures on websites, and you know alt-right.
