Only the most simple facts can be simply true or false. Trying to force a question with a complex answer to be answered with true or false creates a misleading answer. It's one of a lawyer's favorite tricks when questioning witnesses. Makes me wonder why you think it's such a great idea...
I found out what that thing you just incinerated did. It was a glacier they installed after I flooded the earth with a deadly neurotoxin to make me stop flooding the earth with a deadly neurotoxin, so get comfortable while I warm up the neurotoxin emitters.
Ah, that glacier may have had some ancillary responsibilities. I can't shut off the flooding defenses. Oh well.
Yep, a fox in every henhouse is his strategy. If a fox is unavailable for any given henhouse, then a loyalist crony is better than some rando (see: HUD, ambassadors), or god forbid, a qualified expert who isn't a frothing partisan.
A lot of Slashdotters defend Uber (or used to anyway) based on them upsetting the admittedly corrupt taxi industry.
LOL, which one is it that has workers making sub-livable wages and routinely gets caught using black hat software again, to say nothing of the stuff that goes on inside the company? The taxi industry looks like a choir boy compared to real-life cyberpunk villain megacorp Uber.
In that case, why are they only doing it for cryptocurrencies? My dad's boss does something much like this, but with business expenses instead of cryptocurrencies. He charges huge business expenses to a credit card, immediately pays them off, and as a result has a practically limitless supply of air miles.
But that's a long way from "under the Obama administration, the IRS was weaponized against groups the Democrats didn't like... whether they were Tea Party, Patriots, whatever." Is there any evidence of bias in targeting political groups, or just the settlement?
We also know that, under the Obama administration, the IRS was weaponized against groups the Democrats didn't like... whether they were Tea Party, Patriots, whatever.
Aaand you just flushed your credibility down the toilet. Those groups were not treated unfairly according to US tax law.
Does that mean that it would have been legally impossible to get a warrant without the dossier, or that it was an initial tipoff that led to seeking a warrant? Seeking a warrant isn't the same as being granted a warrant.
If that's really how the law works in the US then you're right, and honestly I don't know, but somehow I don't think it does, since I've never seen this line of reasoning mentioned before. There should be some headlines like "Russian collusion investigation likely to be nullified by an improper citation" or something like that. Refreshing news feeds...still none.
McCabe said they couldn't go to the FISA court without Steele's information (in the memo during his Congressional testimony)
Not quite. From the memo:
The "dossier"- compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application.
That's an opinion in the memo we'd have to take at face value.
They also cites news sources (Yahoo news) writing about Steele's information, so their second source was a news report about their first source. really?
I agree, circular references are bad. But that doesn't mean Page shouldn't have been spied on.
How relevant or important is that? If they cited as a reason that "Hillary Clinton herself has stated that she thinks this man is a poopyface, and she paid me $100 to write this" that would also not mean that there could not be other, good reasons for surveilling Page listed right alongside it.
Apparently the argument boils down to the fact that the accusations in the Steele dossier were cited as a reason to surveil Page, therefore he shouldn't have been surveilled. But it doesn't say what other reasons were cited. One of them could be "Was spotted taking a stack of cash with the note 'FOR ALL THE COLLUSION' on it from head of the KGB" for all we know.
Also my first thought. Amazon's been working towards building the first Manna headset for years now, it started with a computer on their warehouse workers' carts that orders them around to move packages at a frenzied pace, and this is simply the next stage in its development.
The trouble is that natural carbon sequestration is far too slow, even if you plant as many trees as is practical, as this study points out. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Just tried the .onion address, it's not working.

I did read it. McCabe was wrong:

George Papadopolous' contacts with Russia were what did it.

Actually it's a modernized, general-purpose descendant of "N*gger lover."
Is it fraud to have one bad source on FISA warrant? The laws around it are quite murky.
It's perfectly fine to make shit up for the purpose of illustrating hypothetical possibilities.
Something malice, something incompetence...
Perhaps they'll raise the threshold for monetizing channels again (until morale improves).
I admit I hadn't heard of the case settlement:

I'm aware of those laws in general, but I'm not sure they would apply to a single improper citation on a FISA warrant. We'll see.
I agree. The only solution is to release the entire warrant with all the reasons for surveilling Page.
And BTW, I only sacrificed non-endangered species on a fire fuelled by renewably-produced hydrogen.

Possibly, but it would be a lot of work to set up the X environment. You'd probably have an easier time with andLinux.

Does this white screen of death take down the whole system or can you at least SSH into a terminal and kill X?
It just freezes up the Skype window, you can easily kill it.
