The key word is "proposes". We shall see if this housing is built or if the movie studio project decision is reversed and that built instead.
At his age, he probably doesn't give a hoot and may just build the housing anyway.
It could start small -- say two 12 inch pipes
Your sense of scale is quite humorous. Did you see Die Hard 3? The dump trucks rumbling through the NYC water pipeline was not fiction.
1-rainwater cisterns to catch rainwater instead of dumping it in the ocean.
You must be from the east coast. A lot of western states make rainwater cisterns illegal.
puppies
They didn't want to look like Starfleet Academy. They wanted to look like a rich suburb:
the technology effort was a civil rights imperative designed to provide low-income students with devices available to their wealthier peers
Civil rights have come a long way if having iPads is now one. Do people even know what civil rights are anymore?
One would think lifting off with all that fuel needed for the landing is inefficient compared to a splashdown parachute recovery like the shuttle's boosters. And the damage caused by landing on water with parachutes has got to be less than the explosions from the landings on the barges.
One of the first produced autogyros was for mail delivery and landed on the White House lawn. That one got a trophy from Pres Hoover.
my work computer could really go for one of these; this kind of performance is needed to be able to grind through all the corporate security software.
The open internet is one of the most democratizing things we have in a modern society, why is this even up for debate? What benefit would society have in enabling "Fast lanes" or "premium" connections or other nonsense? What do we get protecting commercial interests?
How would you know the open internet is one of the most democratizing things we have in a modern society? Net neutrality rules were just published to the federal register today so only today does the internet finally, at long last, start to become open? It seems net neutrality is yet another piece of social openness being hunted down by government regulation.
Easy. The cost of maintaining a country is based on the GDP
WTF? The cost of maintaining a country is based on the government budget, not GDP. GDP is a measure of economic output. If citizens have good saving habits and the government doesn't run deficits then the cost of maintaining the country can be a small fraction of GDP. For bad savers and runaway spending governments, the cost can be much higher than GDP.
And in your example, trucks are charged a highway tax all their own to help pay their share.
It's sad you work at McD's but stop hating on more economically successfull people. It's clear from your posts that you're a coffee shop marxist.
In that respect, trickle-down economics is working exactly as intended. That trickle is a leak, they're working on plugging it.
"Trickle-down economics" is a demogogue political term from William Bryan and is not a real thing in economics. It's a basically a talking point straw man.
curious who will pilot this machine?
How about if Google Car's auto driver races the electric car up Pikes Peak?
No kidding; it used to be a few AF jokes sprinkled among the regular stories, which is effective and entertaining. The last few years it's been nothing but all day, which loses appeal quickly.
The first and second versions had i5 processors. this third one has an Atom. trying to make battery life numbers and heat dissipation better?
OS/2 failed because:
It didn't come pre-installed on all the brand name computers, even IBM's own. You couldn't order a Thinkpad with OS/2 out of the box, only with Windows.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
