Trump is suggesting that he could pardon her, or otherwise make the justice department drop the matter, if it would help national security, relations with China, etc.
Trump is NOT suggesting that this person will be held hostage as leverage in trade negotiations. At worst, this person will go through the courts for the crimes they are accused of (and absolutely committed). Or are you saying that the sanctions and those who violate them should be ignored?
The affected downtown Seattle area has bike lanes and separate bike stoplights. There is an existing culture wherein bikes are more commonplace that most metropolitan areas. Being very opposed to any solution without understanding the problem space is ignorant noise.
Ah yes, bike lanes, where the bikes go and run red lights and stop signs, or where they comes from when weaving into traffic on the left or onto the sidewalk on the right to get around other bikes.
It was Netflix who was demanding one sided peering agreements. It was Netflix who was demanding ISPs put racks with Netflix CDN boxes on their power and network. It was Netflix who drew up agreements to then resell access to those CDN boxes to 3rd parties, with the ISPs still footing the power and network bill. It was Netflix who created and ran a website called fast.com solely to name and shame ISPs that didn't capitulate. It was Netflix who falsely claimed certain ISPs didn't support "Super HD" despite the fact that the bandwidth customers were getting was more than sufficient. It was Netflix who provided users of fast.com a bunch of ways to harass and pester their ISP into "supporting Super HD", which simply meant capitulating to Netflix's demand of hosting a Netflix CDN node and not expecting Netflix to pay for power or bandwidth.
What is Gmail doing where messages that are not Spam and are not otherwise filtered by the users are expected to go somewhere other than the Inbox??
Do they give you multiple Inboxes now? Why the fuck would anyone want to have to check multiple Inboxes they have no control over? If I want to filter shit, I filter shit. Who the hell lets Google decide what's what beyond spam?
The extra power comes in handy because...40 packages, or about 350 pounds worth of stuff.
350 lbs requires power assistance huh? I guess UPS has never seen a guy on a bike in India deliver a package the size of a school bus on his own power.
A bicycle can be much faster over short/medium distances in a congested city, because of their ability to trivially by-pass stationary traffic.
You misspelled "cut over to the sidewalk, run stop signs and red lights, and otherwise break the law with impunity because cops won't try to stop you and if you get yourself injured/killed people won't dare blame the cyclist or hold them responsible for their actions especially since their shit won't be insured or registered".
So instead of a big slow truck I need to give a wide berth, there's multiple, big slow tricycles I need to give an even wider berth? There will be more of them because they can't carry as many packages. They'll expect special treatment, run stop signs and red lights, etc. just like "cyclists". When they cause a collision with a regular vehicle, scorn will by default apply to the driver of the regular vehicle because the "cyclist" is more likely to end up with injuries despite it being their fault. Such attitudes will spill over into insurance dealings and even the courtroom.
The addition to the price of a new home will be negligible and new homeowners won't even notice since they're on loans paid over several decades anyway.
Spending money you don't have by borrowing it, paying interest on it, and ignoring the actual cost of doing so. A true Californian!
Solar panels don't pay off in many locations, even in CA. Good luck getting that exemption approved! Further, the environmental cost of producing solar panels is huge. As is the environmental cost of producing large batteries to store energy (not to mention the safety issues of having one on your property for decades). At least the battery is only currently being "incentivized".
The cost of putting solar panels on a house and connecting them up is pretty big, and the cost will skyrocket now that it's required. For reference, see health insurance. The payback period was already measured in decades when including government incentives/rebates, the utilities being forced to buy the electricity back at a given rate, and a specific cost for panels and installation. The incentives/rebates are going away, the cost the utility will pay to buy power from people will go down, and the cost to buy and install panels will go up.
If we had better solar panels, or at least equivalent panels that weren't so nasty to produce, I'd be for buying them for myself, but not for requiring them.
From an environmental perspective, the best modern options are nuclear and hydroelectric, by far. From an economic standpoint, those are near the top if you consider a free market. Coal, oil, and natural gas win out in a world with no regulation. If you consider a sane market, with some regulation (emissions controls for coal, safety and transparency requirements for fracking and mining, safety and security standards for nuclear, environmental assessment and protection when building dams, etc.) hydroelectric is the winner in places that have it as an option, and nuclear is the winner elsewhere.
You're a moron. If you break US law, the US is going to get you or your assets how and when they can. US action against Assange is bullshit. US action against Kim Dotcom is bullshit. This case is completely justified.
Ms Meng was detained while changing planes at the Vancouver Airport.
In Canada.
Wrong. They were American sanctions, not international sanctions. She (allegedly) violated an American law... while living in China as a Chinese citizen. What other country claims such an extraterritorial reach?
When you travel to a formal ally of such nation, who happens to have an extradition agreement, you end up almost as dumb as ShanghaiBill.
Huawei had an agreement to not re-export certain American products to Iran. They apparently broke that agreement. Breaking an agreement is generally a civil matter, not a criminal matter.
LOL! Breaking an agreement to not aid a criminal is not a civil matter. It is a crime.
You still bombed the hell out of it and not declaring a war makes no difference.
No, we didn't bomb the hell out of it. We should have done nothing or gone to war. Instead we engaged in stupid proxy bullshit and sent thousands of marines to defend locations of no importance out in the jungle.
If we had declared war, we would have had an objective and support. Instead we sent men to sit in hell and wait to die for no reason. But Congress didn't want to declare war, because of the red scare.
weren't you guys the ones saying we couldn't pick winners and losers, the market should decide? Well it decided, your shit isn't worth doing.
Uh, it was regulation that decided that. The market would have continued to mine coal as recklessly as possible with regards to operational safety and with zero emissions controls.
The bitch was detained in CANADA you fucking moron, for violation of international sanctions against Iran. That's not something for civil courts. The flagrant violations could be seen as treason if she were a citizen of a country that gave a shit.
The US never went to war with Vietnam. That's a big reason we didn't nuke it. We were there as pretty much the only fucking ones doing the fucking dirty work of our shitty fucking alliances.
The conflict dragged on and people in the US hated it. If congress had declared war it would've ended differently, and much more quickly. But Congress didn't want the optics of the US going to war again, and preferred to just send a generation of men into a pointless meat grinder. See Korea for the sequel, and the middle east spin off series if you want to know more.
Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States of America, and as such is the head of Executive branch of the federal government, and as such has control over the DOJ. Further, he can pardon anyone he damn well pleases with one exception. Yes, he can even pardon himself if it came down to it and that one exception wasn't in play.
SMS / Hangouts unification before they killed it off, then SMS integration (as separate chats) before they killed that off too (it was fairly recently that they forced people on the last good version of Hangouts to switch to the new, gimped Hangouts). Old Hangouts also worked with latitude very well. Now Latitude is dead, and partially baked into Maps, but you HAVE to enable location history if you want to see where your friends/family are on the map now.
You don't know what you're talking about. Google has been on this spree for years and years.

5th a while back, now 7th and declining.

Never mind, whatever bullshit they cook up will be overturned in 6 years.
Agree or disagree, at least you're smart enough to realize the incumbent always wins and he's not going to prison.
