Unfortunately? I'd say it's quite fortunate and well deserved. The 94 million victims might also disagree with you (well, they would if they hadn't died from starvation, firing squad, etc.)
What's the average cost per kWh for electricity in the US vs Germany? It's 12c in the US and 36c in Germany. Don't try and tell us how wonderful the green energy is when it's 3x the cost.
That policy is fine if you are not under any obligation to keep the data but many companies (financial, insurance, etc) are required to keep the data for a very long time. Govt is required to keep copies of the data as well.
Same here but i work for an insurance company and do searches for legal discovery all the time. We journal everything and keep it forever ( i think it's the same way for most regulated companies now.) It's highly suspicious that they can't find this data. I can find any email sent or received going back many years and i can do it within a week (usually within hours.) either their email/archiving system is completely fucked or someone is not telling the truth. Either way, there should also be a paper record unless Lois was intentionally violating policy.
If someone knows anything about the IRS email architecture it would be helpful. Anyone know what email system they are on? I assume it's Exchange but it wouldn't make much difference if it's Notes/Domino (it might actually make it easier to recover from tape.) they must have some type of email archiving system.
One other thing. from the IRS's own documents, employees are required to make paper copies for FOIA .

Emails as Possible Federal Records
All federal employees and federal contractors are required by law to preserve records containing adequate and proper documentation of the organization, functions, policies, decisions, procedures, and essential transactions of the agency. Records must be properly stored and preserved, available for retrieval and subject to appropriate approved disposition schedules.
The Federal Records Act applies to email records just as it does to records you create using other media. Emails are records when they are:
Created or received in the transaction of agency business
Appropriate for preservation as evidence of the government’s function and activities, or
Valuable because of the information they contain
If you create or receive email messages during the course of your daily work, you are responsible for ensuring that you manage them properly. The Treasury Department’s current email policy requires emails and attachments that meet the definition of a federal record be added to the organization’s files by printing them (including the essential transmission data) and filing them with related paper records. If transmission and receipt data are not printed by the email system, annotate the paper copy. More information on IRS records management requirements is available at http://erc.web.irs.gov/Display... or see the Records Management Handbook, IRM 1.15.1 http://publish.no.irs.gov/IRM/...).
An email determined to be a federal record may eventually be considered as having historical value by the National Archivist prior to disposal. Therefore, ensure that all your communications are professional in tone.
Please note that maintaining a copy of an email or its attachments within the IRS email MS Outlook application does not meet the requirements of maintaining an official record. Therefore, print and file email and its attachments if they are either permanent records or if they relate to a specific case.
At the rates they just reported this week, the west Antarctica glaciers will be adding something like 1.7" per century. Not sure it's really something we have to worrry about. The sky isn't falling. Nuclear reactors have a finite lifetime. the sky isn't falling.
No, they won't. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should, or will. Alaska is too far away and it would cost too much. China won't build it, Russia won't build it and we won't build it.
The message could be that if you commit a horrible rape and murder then you may be killed in a horrible way. I'm ok with that. If it makes one person fear the death penalty enough to avoid committing a crime then it's worth it. If not, then chalk it up to karmic justice. Everyone dies. A natural death isn't always pain free.
Useful in what way? The US and it's allies don't have any need to use the UN. It's a useless debating society. Anything we need to do can be done with our allies.
Nearly all states have laws that do roughly the same thing. (48 if i remember correctly.) It's not a republican or democrat thing, it's just the nature of how laws can be manipulated by special interests. It's the same reason we have laws to license many professions such as hairdressers, plumbers, etc. It sucks but it just shows that money and intensity gets things done in politics.
You overstate it. It was originally meant to prevent states from taxing commerce moving through their state. Of course the courts have rewritten it out of whole cloth to mean that the feds can regulate anything they want, but in this case there is no way they will intervene. Car dealers are powerful in most states and it's perfectly rational (but bad) that they manipulate the govt into propping up their businesses. Maybe Tesla has deep enough pockets to fight it in the legislatures, but i doubt it.

Where did you get the $20k price? I am finding $60-$80k/kg.

Renewables are only profitable if they are subsidized.
Sounds great. Now hurry up and build it out.

Where do you get that?
It's kind of hard to steal if you are wearing it.
California govt & regulations suck.
Yes. We have a lot of it. Also, what about when the rocket explodes? Cheaper and easier to encapsulate it and bury it in the desert.
No, they won't. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should, or will. Alaska is too far away and it would cost too much. China won't build it, Russia won't build it and we won't build it.
If you think the US is anywhere close to being like North Korea then you obviously know nothing about North Korea.

He certainly wont be committing any more crimes
Maybe you should read the predictions from Earth Day 1970. Environmentalists are not doing very well on predicting the future.
You have been watching too much TV.

You'll need local storage. It won't backup your network drives. Other than that, Backblaze is great (and cheap.)
Who on the right is saying that?
That would have been a little difficult back when you shipped by sailing ship.

Who would pay for a 30 month contract at that price. This is going nowhere.
