<p>Geez.<p>US oil is fracked, which means that to get out of the microscopic fissures in the rocks only the lighter stuff comes out.<p>This makes excellent gasoline. By the way, this is also why we've become a CH4 power house.<p>Unfortunately, the US runs on diesel. We don't produce much heavy oil so we import it.<p><i>net</i> it basically cancels out depending on interest rates, price of oil and who's in charge in DC.<p>Fracking, anyway, is an economic mirage enabled by cheap credit and expensive oil. Fracking sucks because the wells don't produce much.</p>

<p>The petrodollar was never about access to Saudi oil. Even when we imported large amounts of oil, we also produced a lot and we had very many different suppliers.<p>The petrodollar was about creating a massive market for USD despite us having a massive trade deficit. Every country that wanted to buy oil had to hold USD and US treasuries to buy the oil.<p>This cemented the USD as the world currency therefore financing our budgetary (as opposed to trade) deficit with cheap interest rates.</p>

<p>Im not a CS guy, so I dont know what "first class" means.<p>I can do whatever to a function. I can use it as an argument. I can return it from another function. I can make a function that modifies functions.<p>All that w/out doing anything out of the ordinary day to day programing.</p>

<p>The HP engineers were good.<p>First HP engineers made RPL, then they attended Sussman and Abelson's intro to CS class. I think Sussman once said that, if RPL had anonymous functions it'd be a perfect lisp.<p>They were real good.<p><a href="https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/video_galleries/video-lectures/" rel="nofollow">https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-001-structure-and-interpretati...</a></p>
