You bought it hook, line and sinker. Now you're open to being told anything, no matter its relation to reality.

What if, gasp, that position is objectively correct and the current administration is really abysmally bad?
Even if you have official subset guidelines, it still comes down to individual programmers' preferences.
C++ is so big/complex/rich that different people or groups use different subsets, from 'better ANSI C' to 'Object hierarchies everywhere with lots of templates.' I've seen code that obviously started as "my first OO project" with classes including copy constructors and getters/setters for the most primitive structures that were later changed with basic C code and friend declarations so that this code could work around the class structure. And a bit of STL here and Boost there.
Give me C any day of the week; I can handle memory management and pointers with KISS.
Don't forget cancer.
But of course mainstream economics assumes infinite growth. Mainstream politics is based on mainstream economics.
Good luck with that.
John Birmingham's "Axis Of Time" trilogy expands on the idea. A failed physics experiment creates a wormhole that transports a modern carrier battle group into the middle of Admiral Spruance's fleet on its way to Midway. Great story.
Power density won't improve much. It's not hard to check each combination of elements, caculate the energy stored per electron moved between them, and divide by the atomic or molecular weight of the substance. At best a small factor (2x? 3x?) improvement is possible over what we have now, like Li-Ion.
If it flops the HW will be available for cheap and somebody will port Linux to it. Win!
Of course Dell could preclude the flop by offering it with Linux (I'd really like such a device) or Android, or at least supporting Linux development.
I never had roof racks on my bicycle. Checkmate, cops.
Several people have said that the "acoustic weapons" can't be acoustic but are probably electromagnetic, whether deliberate or accidental. They could be a side effect of listening devices or just a radar gone wild.
Open source often manages to give you all three.
You can create your base load with renewables most of the time and only crank up your gas turbines when you have a shortage. That's somewhat expensive but uses little nat gas and creates little CO2 on average.
It's been "in 20 years" for 40 years so the slope is 1 year every 8 years. That means we should take 120 years for the remaining "in 15 years".
Now note that world total liquids will peak in the next decade and so will coal probably. In 15 years you won't even recognize the world economy.

Your precious first amendment doesn't apply in the EU.
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.
