My question is: what are the concrete desires of the capital class that are being threatened?
Someone else said "oil" which is fair I guess, but very clearly a diminishing return when it's clear that energy independence is valuable for the capital class if they control the transition, a la Elon.
So again, what do the wealthy have to gain or lose from these protests, specifically?
The number of electoral votes and the number of reps is based on population and is decided by the census.
So if this happens, at the latest, the votes would get fixed in 2031. But I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of the deal. Obviously those switching to Idaho want to bring their votes with them.
Like, the US has a law on the books allowing the president to unilaterally order an invasion of the Netherlands if the ICC tries to prosecute an American.
Sweatshirts are double-layered pullovers, typically non-woven. Sweaters are single-layer pullovers, typically knit. Jackets have buttons or zippers. Hoodies have hoods and are made of fabric (e.g. raincoats are not hoodies).
You can have hoodies that are also sweatshirts, or hoodies that are also jackets.
This garment pictured in your post is a jacket. It is also a hoodie. It is neither a sweatshirt nor a sweater.
This is just my interpretation of the situation. I don't know of any formal classification system for outerwear.
You have both operational and denotaional semantics in all languages.
Operational semantics are "what does this code do," and denotaional semantics are "what does this code mean" in a more abstract sense.
In an imperative language, what a given piece of code means is "execute these instructions," so the denotaional semantics are basically equivalent to the operational semantics.
But for higher level languages, these kinds of semantics can differ. For example, in Prolog, the denotaional semantics of a given clause boils down to some formula of predicate logic, while the operational semantics is that a Prolog interpreter will perform a depth first search through the formulas to find acceptable bindings to the variables.
You can imagine another language using the same syntax as Prolog where the denotaional semantics still boils down to formulas of logic, but the operational semantics might be a breath first search through those formulas.
In other words, the denotaional semantics are the more abstract meaning of the code (like, does this code represent data, or formulas, or instructions, or something else) and the operational semantics are the more concrete meaning of the code, i.e. what should happen when the code is executed.
Generally, the denotaional semantics are what you are using in the higher level optimizers, and the operational semantics are what you are using in the lower level optimizers.
What I'm saying is that the cost to develop hydrogen infrastructure, the complexity of it's distribution, the risk due to its high volatility, and the uncertainty of a relatively underdeveloped technology all seem to be losing to batteries, which are very mature tech and are already in the supply chain and for which we already have a well developed electricity distribution grid.
I just don't see what investing in fuel cells will do other than slow the adoption of zero emission vehicles by another decade.
What's wild to me is that back in the Google Now era, I was so excited to root so that I could install the extension for Nova to add Google Now.
But these days, the Google "Discovery" feed is trash compared to what Google Now once was.
