This was a perfect example of a honeypot. Just in physical form...
A more physical metaphor would be flypaper. All we have to do to protect the U.S. against terrorism is have one of these Mohammed art exhibits in every town, attackers will naturally be drawn there first and when they attack, they are killed.
In a very real way this is the ghost of Hebdo striking back.
becoming the only woman in the pack of Republican candidates for the White House in 2016.
Because the next president of the U.S. *must* be a woman right? That's what you are implying...
Even if our only choice is an incompetent Republican or a completely unethical Democrat...
Meanwhile in the Democratic "pack", you have much more diversity. They have all kinds of candidates - both old white men *and* old white women. A true force for change in politics.
we need to cut the human population in half in the next 100 years (by breeding less, not killing people off)
Pretty sure the Nazis also tried forced sterilization. It did not turn out well.
Otherwise if you wanted to see an ever stronger reaction than telling people you are going to kill a group of them off, then try to say you are now telling them who they can and cannot fuck.
Or you could try a middle ground like China's "one child" policy, which leads to other disasters...
Or you know, you could try not telling people how to live their lives according to some poor rationale you've developed as to why they should obey your whims, and they in turn will be somewhat less likely to kill you.

Private power companies don't work because they don't add value.
That is kind of a ridiculous statement. If nothing else they can add value simply by producing power cheaper than other companies, or provide power where public utilities will not.
There are private power companies in the U.S. you know... if they "do not work" how do they exist?
He may compel Hillary to take positions that will make it harder for her to win the general election.
That is really irrelevant since Hillary has already taken all possible positions - including no position.
There is literally nothing Hillary can say or do that will affect the election at this point.

They're measuring an anomalous force in an electromagnetic cavity. That's a measurement, a concrete fact. They're claiming that they'll be able to make a starship with it. That's beyond any credibility. It's totally delusional.
Jesus H you're dishonest. They HOPE to use it to propel objects from LEO to GEO. The reason that NASA is looking into this is in the HOPE that it bears fruit. NOBODY said they WILL be able to make a starship with it.
Some of the statements get rather ambitious, but they aren't statements of fact they're suggestions about what COULD be possible if this pans out.
Why do you keep saying this? They aren't giving an answer. They don't understand why it works, they clearly suggest that we should figure out why it does...
You seem to be building a straw man argument so you can rant about the COM.
That's just silly. The people reporting this observable phenomenon do not claim to understand why this happens - in fact the point of the article is that we should strive to understand why this works.
Just because YOU don't understand why this works doesn't mean that they are claiming to be violating the conservation of momentum - especially since they are not. Most especially because there's a clear expenditure of input energy - a grossly inefficient (it would seem) one.
I see you like to comment on something without reading it.... try taking a look at the article... it says specifically that conservation of momentum is NOT violated...
Well, the article says it, so it must be true.
If you're not throwing anything out of the back of the rocket, you're violating conservation of momentum.
So... You're now arguing that you can violate the conservation of momentum. Interesting.
The bet is not just on arbitrage, but that within 10 years you will install solar power of some kind, because this battery makes solar collection far more useful to most people.
That seems like a good bet, especially for someone who buys the battery... and you ignore the utility of whole house power backup/conditioning.
That helps someone with solar panels, but more exciting is that it helps everyone - just just people with their own energy sources.
These shift load on the system - they don't just make solar energy viable, they smooth out load on the power network, and make alternative energy sources that may not be reliable much more viable.
Not to mention suddenly everyone is much less dependent on reliable power, so it can eventually bring the possibility of reducing the extreme availably requirements of power - you could get a note saying power would be shut down ro an hour over the weekend, so they could do infrastructure changes.
At $3k it is a no-brainer to buy one of these.
Thanks for totally ignoring the last point that actual speeds are a fraction of the rated speeds... the 2Gb connection may well be just a 100Mbps connection most of the time.
But your own post as it stands refutes your counter-argument. Waiting even four minutes for a demo is fairly long, which shows that higher speeds are in fact needed by average users today - even if they are not being used continuously. Having a high burst speed IS very useful to even the average person today.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?
