As to Assange, he cannot be held criminally liable for any of the classified data leaked to Wikileaks and published by him on the site. He never agreed to protect the information from release. The traitors that released it, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden are the ones facing criminal charges, as they both signed lawful contracts to protect the secrets of this nation.
It's cute that people still think the US intelligence apparatus follow any sort of rules or laws.
Gotta love a lefitst authoritarian who demands we listen to science when it allows him to grab more power as in this case, and ignore it when it tells him that there are only 2 genders, and the brain differences are quantifiable in the womb.
This isn't about science, it never was. It's about scientists getting their next grant to pay their bills which feeds people like you using it to consolidate more power.
Ignoring federal weapons regulations? Nope
Ignoring federal emissions regulations? Nope
Ignoring federal drug regulations? Fine, just fine
Also: science isn't about consensus, it's about truth. The instant you start rolling out "pretty much all" or "97% of scientists" say, you're INSTANTLY anti-science.
Sager/Clevo just released a line of 16.1" screens in the same chassis as their previous 15.6" models. They just reduced the size of the bezel. This isn't a massive step forward, exactly.
The main problem is looking at health care as a profit driven business in the first place. Take a look at Europe / Scandinavia for examples of much better models.
You mean those socialized systems that require America's profit driven one in order to advance the quality of care?
As an outsider (living in Sweden, Europe) I am a bit curious
No you're not. This is entirely in bad faith. Yo're also leaving out a major...major cost: innovation. America basically pays for the entire world's new treatments. Your "vastly more affordable yet somehow equal" care only advances because the American market incentivizes people to create the next greatest treatment.
So, I guess, if your current care is SO GREAT that you won't need any new cancer treatments ever, then enjoy your commie-med.
Seems to me that you missed what is going on, namely that somebody substituted poison for medicine.
Oh I believe he's fully aware. He's also aware that
Yes. It is wrong to fake a group through the means described already. It is not wrong for a genuine group of people to assemble.
Conveniently excuses what "your side" is doing by attempting to make it appear geniune while "their side" is obviously faking it. You literally proved his point by attempting to defend your brand of dickbaggery.
You're missing one major factor: profit motive is what incentives people to create "the next great cure." No profit motive...no funding of research...no advancements.
But for tall the wrong reasons. I think Amazon is the only thing keeping the USPS from insolvency. It's probably a good idea to look into why they're both broke and bad at their job.
The fact that they are giving each other awards suggests to me that the only thing holding the Republican Party together these days is their collective urge to "piss on the other team".
Fun, in a sort of Lord-of-the-Flies, junior-high-locker-room-towel-snapping sort of way, but not exactly a viable long-term philosophy for running a first-world country.
I don't know, "tear down what the other team built" has been a viable Democratic strategy for a generation.
Net Neutrality did not regulate speech. It stipulated rules that prevented internet providers from regulating it.
That's funny, because I'm pretty sure the social media giants - and even wikipedia - were doing a pretty decent job of regulating speech with these magical rules in place.
Just wow. I really hope these motherfuckers have a good view of each other when they're burning in hell.
I know right? Zuckerberg's power to shape political discourse - at no cost - was getting out of hand.
Wait...those are the motherfuckers you were talking about, right?
Nope. Banks can trade with money they don't yet have.
That's not quite true. Banks just don't phyiscally "have" every penny that the sum total of account balances would lead one to believe they "have." They loan out a large percentage. But that number is lower than the sum total of account balances. The delta is called "reserves," and this amount is mandated by law.
At least in the US.
Let's review: Wilson couldn't fix California, and neither could the Governator. But Governor Moonbeam did, and now the state is out of the hole, growing again, and projecting a surplus, all from RAISING TAXES.
States like Kansas, Wisconsin, and Iowa cut taxes and are now failing, increasing their deficits.
Sure looks like "Commiefornia" did it right, and those red states full of morons did it wrong.

Stealing more money from your populace instead of reigning in your spending is "doing it right!?" So I don't need fewer credit cards..........I just need a higher paying job. Smart.
I'm semi-retired, but my income is not that different from when I worked. My wife is still working, and her job here in California pays a lot better than her professorship at Rice University.
There is a lovely job market here in California. And the job market back in Houston is no longer what it once was. The energy sector jobs are not in boom mode any more. The thing that's keeping Houston afloat is the magnificent Medical Center, which is now the #1 industry in Houston.
Real estate is more expensive here in Cali, but we sold a place/bought a place, so it doesn't really figure into our expenses. Income tax is high here, but property taxes are much lower than in Texas. Food is much cheaper here (and much, much better). Gasoline is more expensive, but since we live a short bike ride from work and the beach, we drive a lot less. In Houston, you can't go three miles without getting on an expressway. The entire city of Houston is paved over with 12-lane highways that are poorly maintained. The unit price of utilities is more expensive in California, but since you don't have to heat or air condition anything, it doesn't matter. In Houston, you have to air condition 10 months out of the year (new houses in Houston don't even have windows that open).
So, you can live in beautiful place with beautiful weather or an ugly place with horrible weather. It's not that different economically.
Literally nothing you said about Houston in this post is actually true. Poorly maintained roadways? Have you ever been to the Northeast!?
Oh, and weed is legal here. And there's surfing
Ahhhh, finally some truth. Glad you left. Enjoy Cali weed, just stop lying about Houston.
Corporations are buying laptops for telecommuters and staff versus bulky PCs that are easier to transport, deploy, and use less power for the workloads they deal with.
What corporations are actually doing is buying cheap, garbage, laptops in bulk and """standardizing""" on them. Which sucks for anyone that has a workload that needs more than an i5 with 8GB of RAM.

We at some point have to listen to science.

dream bigger: a golden pony that farts cotton candy
I have an iPad pro and I've tried working on it. I'm using a Mac and not an iPad because the iPad is no use for serious, creative work.
but..but..but...it has pro in the name! That means it's for professionals! /s

Maybe increase the murder rate? Less citizens, less power usage...
You have a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to TROLL TRUMP! So get off of slashdot, and start playing in the BIG LEAGUE, trolls!
As if the left hasn't operated like they've at least had the moral imperative if not the constitutional right up until this point.

Did somebody put something in the entire western world's drinking water
Actually...yes, they did. Estrogens, phytoestrogens, and progesterones from food, plastics, and birth control.

U.S. citizens die sooner than even U.K citizens. They are often bankrupted by medical expenses. And yet, they keep voting for these policies.
Glad to see ignorance isn't just an American issue. You've boiled down an IMMENSELY complicated issue so far.......that it's unrecognizable.

The two most corrupt dirtbags, in the most corrupt political system outside a third world dictatorship, giving each other a hand job at CPAC.
Did we read different articles? Neither Bill nor Hillary was there.

Ultimately the wealthy who can afford lawyers long enough to GET to the supreme court decide justice. Translation: there's no justice.

We also keep re-electing DINOs like Pelosi and Feinstein to congress.
Only in California could the politics be SO left that Pelosi and Feinstein could be considered insufficiently left.
