meerling was describing the implications of the system setup, as any engineer should, and used the term "Death squad" to describe the predicted outcome. It doesn't seem to be far off, as shooting people seems to be a startle reflex for US police. It's not like this in my country, and it doesn't need to be in yours either.
The first two of the following links describe a baby and a toddler being shot by police. The third makes the point that when police are given military gear, they start behaving like soldiers, instead of the civilians that they are.

We're not all happy campers. Australian papers have been reporting on the tiny tax that Apple have been paying:
"The tax bill of $80.3 million pales in comparison to its local revenue which came in at over $6 billion." -http://www.businessspectator.com.au/news/2015/1/28/technology/apples-tiny-tax-bill-doubles-australia
I've lived in the US on an H1-B visa - it's not hearsay to me. Despite portability provisions allowing workers to move, the moving positions is time-consuming and costly. It is illegal to be in the country the day after employment ceases, meaning that there is no legal way to organise your affairs appropriately if you suddenly find yourself out of a job.
The system is set up in a way that supports the anecdotes given by Just Some Guy. If it is more helpful to you, then consider those stories as "use cases" (plausible ways of interacting with the system) instead of "anecdotes" (hearsay that should be dismissed because it is hearsay).
The claim is not that the H1-B is indentured servitude, rather that the restrictive nature of the H1-B puts the employee at a significant disadvantage, even with the portability that you mention. Having been there and done that myself, I can tell you that I had job offers I could not take up because of the H1-B visa restrictions.
Kirribati Islands. The water supply is already compromised by sea water, they are in the process of moving the population to Fiji.

In the part of the arse end of the world where I live, the usage of "pissed" as "angry" instead of "pissed off" is fine, if the context is clear. Maybe it's a regional thing.
... Nevertheless, under such interpretation, it would be illegal for the state to deny money to a religious project that otherwise falls under such rules as "reasonable tourism attraction."
The problem isn't that it is a religious project. The problem is that public funds can't be used on projects with discriminatory employment practices.
Inspired by CrimsonAvenger, above, I looked up the definition of treason in the US constitution (Article 23, section 3):
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
How, exactly, do Snowden's actions in leaking information to the media of a staunchly allied country fit the definition of treason?
Western society has only allowed women to own property and loosened the dress code relatively recently, historically speaking. It might be ahead of some other societies, but not by as much as you might expect.
No, streaming does not make results look better. Countries that stream early, such as Germany, have found that while their top tier do very well, as expected, but the PISA results from other tiers do not perform as well as they might. It's partly due to early streaming greatly disadvantaging migrants, who might have caught up to their peers in higher level maths classes had they had the chance.
PISA is not about heavy maths, it's about numeracy. It tries to measure the maths and literacy skills needed to navigate in modern society at school leaving age across a population. The countries that look better than they should are the ones who exclude large segments of the population from schooling at all (like excluding girls or particular minorities or rural populations from education). There you have children who become adults who are innumerate, but are not measured by PISA. As these countries start to educate their entire population, they will look worse before they look better.
And I learned about the Linnaean classification in biology. Of course biology teachers compare and contrast modern understanding with the mistaken scientific ideas along the way, just as other science teachers do.
But comparing and contrasting "God did it" with "we have no need of that hypothesis" is not a comparison of scientific theories.
Standards? You suggest that, despite the lack of evidence, this course that flies in the face of reality has standards that go beyond encouraging the students to go out and invite persecution?
Are you serious?
I might have misread it, but I think the article says that the alleged infringing account was opened in her name by her newly-estranged father, in her father's new house (where she does not live).
If this is the case, it is probable that the papers were served to her father's address, and not to her.
Still, no one has scrutinized the boy's work for math errors.
So don't start training Bruce Willis just yet. Wouldn't be so sure about that; he did not do this alone. You get a lot more information in German. He had support with formulas from Professor Spahn of Potsdam University, and with calculations from Professor Landgraf from the ESA satellite Control Center.

Isaac Asimov very nicely points out that rather than think of right and wrong theories, it is better to think of a succession of closer and closer approximations. Also from the article: "The curvature of such a sphere is about 0.000126 per mile, a quantity very close to 0 per mile, as you can see, and one not easily measured by the techniques at the disposal of the ancients. The tiny difference between 0 and 0.000126 accounts for the fact that it took so long to pass from the flat earth to the spherical earth.... So, although the flat-earth theory is only slightly wrong and is a credit to its inventors, all things considered, it is wrong enough to be discarded in favor of the spherical-earth theory."
In Australia we use the terms "earth", "active" and "neutral", coloured respectively green, red and black. There is no need to be *shocked* that other conventions exist. "Earthed" is not wrong, it's not slang, it's just not standard in the US.
The admin adjudicating the argument has ruled in favor of keeping the proof.
As far as I can see, there is no conflict. Proofs are arguments in mathematical language.

(Replying to "...but WHAT"...)
I guess you'd be surprised. Female *and* black, here.
Interesting. Stlll, female techs are scary because we tend not to fit the traditional stereotypes. Female *and* black doubly so.
... but WHAT female would visit this site anyway :)
The female techs like me who really are quite scary, thank you. By the way, you've just demonstrated why there aren't more women in tech.
And I learned about the Linnaean classification in biology. Of course biology teachers compare and contrast modern understanding with the mistaken scientific ideas along the way, just as other science teachers do.

The parent said he had a strong password, and said nothing about a dictionary attack. Where do you get the sense that it was a poor password?
The ESA (European Space Agency).
He did. He got the prize for outstanding physics project. (Sonderpreis).
You mean NASA hasn't published it yet. However, what NASA calculated remains intact: this wasn't a maths error as such.
