he's a wholesale political corruption outlet. he'll sell anything to anyone

Politics, I assume.

From the perspective of the investor - will there be demand (both initially and over the life of the depreciation) and will the (Fed/State) Gov't fund subsidize it with either direct funding or special tax incentives

With the next election coming up, I think there is considerable uncertainty.

You weren't paying attention when you were a kid, were you.

The Justice Department is part of the Executive Branch and the head of that is the President

I'm just another old guy too and feel the same way.

However, I'm a little biased because I'm within a year of retirement and have made it clear to my employer that I am not interested in any management or supervisory roles. We're both happy at present. In a way, it's a relief to only be chasing the approval of being a smart guy.

In another way, it's selfish of me. Part of my value should be sharing my experience and knowledge with less experienced, younger people. Casual, face to face interactions are the reason why informal networks develop and work and they are no less important in the future than they were in the past. I learned a lot from others when I was younger.

two things can be true at the same time.

you're correct, there are policies and processes involved to control the approvals and spending

he's correct that a reason for the delay involves some element of pigs jostling for position at the trough. I would guess that there are NGOs and Non-Profits that depend on political linkages trying to get in on the action. Fed/State/County and Local levels all have a chance to belly up to the cash trough sloshing full of tax payer and citizen debt owner funds

Each company will be required to implement policies and procedures to track and improve their carbon footprint. It will be embedded in their tracking KPIs and the financial reporting systems. They will hire consultants and auditors to maintain their certifications.

This also explains why the IRS is staffing up - there are financial reporting and tax implications to be managed.

knock off the racist crap please

For a supposedly smart bunch of tech peeps, you remain surprisingly uninterested in finding information about this sea surface temperature anomaly and some reasons that might explain parts of it.

here, let me help you a little: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheethicalskeptic.com%2F...

Surprise! there might be another heat source showing up

and for all the political and agism crap thrown around, foad

The software flash enables higher currents in the Battery, the PIM and the Motors. Warranty costs increase when they push limits on temperatures.

From a marketing perspective, the rich dudes near Stuttgart get to show who's boss on their Sunday morning autobahn coffee runs.

I don't like it either but there is some irony that they're separating money from rich fools

Adding DEF is required when using Selective Catalytic Reaction Converters on Diesel engines - it doesn't help reduce EGR Cooler Fouling.

The SCR Converters are the big issue, DEF adds cost/mile but SCR is the maintenance headache that the Rail sector is trying to avoid

seriously, another term?

lol

the technical argument to be made here is that vehicles are type certified to federal pedestrian safety standards.

If a protester refuses to move and is bumped with a speed at impact lower than the FMVSS, then the federal gov't must assume responsibility for injury or death.

it will modify behaviors on both sides of the steering wheel - hopefully in ways that promote more mutual respect and self-responsibility.

The WSJ is no different than the other main stream propaganda channels - they get their marching orders from the State Department like many others.

Consider the source

Yes, you can build a lumped parameter model with some small number of coupled lumps and use an energy balance to forecast responses.

What you can't do with those simple models is determine who wins and who pays.

So, we obviously need much more complicated models with hundreds of confounding variables.

btw, I do lumped models for heat transfer systems analysis professionally.

You forget the Democrat Warhawks and the Never Trump Republicans are in this together?

The Far Left and the Populist Right have more in common with each other than this across-the-aisle Uniparty
