The electoral college broke when they decided to limit the total number of Members of the House but still tie the number of electoral college votes to the number of members of Congress each state has. This means that winning one electoral vote in California takes on hell of more votes than winning the same electoral vote in Wyoming or Kansas or Montana.... giving rural states a much larger say in who is elected President of the United States.
First one that comes to mind is Flickr. Yahoo bought Flickr, at the time the premier photo site on the web, and proceeded to do nothing to keep it current and competitive. They were developing the ability to geotag photos by dropping on a map which languished for 5+ years allowing Google to bypass them and they could have eaten Instagram's lunch if they had been paying attention.

He was writing about something he really cared about and had editors that were not afraid to cut his words down. These books show how prejudice can be subtle and creep into human interactions without anyone really being aware of it.
Or this: "You know, some people say that was not his birth certificate," he told ABC in August 2013, more than two years after President Obama released the document. "I'm saying I don't know. Nobody knows and you don't know either."
Trump's version of "a source familiar with the situation" is "Some people say" or "Many people say". Even if the some people is a single person named Trump. Technically he isn't wrong.

You might want to talk to Congress about those requests to improve embassy security. Congress, whether controlled by Democrats or Republicans, has routinely slashed the State Department's requests for funding to increase embassy security for over 50 years. But yeah it was all Hillary's fault.
In 2010, Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, was one of nine federal agency heads (Did all nine get massive bribes?) to sign off on Russia’s purchase of a controlling stake in Uranium One, an international mining company headquartered in Canada with operations in several U.S. states. It was part of a regular process for approving international deals involving strategic assets, such as uranium, that could have implications for national security. Uranium One’s U.S. mines produced about 11 percent of the country’s total uranium production in 2014, according to Oilprice.com.
But even with its control of Uranium One, Russia cannot export the material from the United States. Russia was likely more interested in Uranium One’s assets in Kazakhstan, the world’s largest uranium producer.
Please show us the records of this huge deposit of cash to the Clinton Foundation that resulted in the State Department's approval. On what grounds could the State Department have refused approval, bear in mind that the courts would have become involved.
What does having "ALL KINDS of pro Sanders/Anti-Trump tweets and social media posts" have to do with being able to have a TS clearance?
I sure hope we NEVER start basing security clearances on an individuals legitimate political beliefs because that would be what "McCarthyism" was all about.
Information often (maybe too often) carries the classification, for example war plans. The vast amount of Secret material is information.
Sources and Methods Information (SAMI) often carries a higher classification (Top Secret and SCI). You are correct that the SAMI stuff is the stuff that causes real long lasting damage if disclosed.
So let me get this straight: it's the scientists that are super-greedy liars, and it's the Corporate Execs (i.e. Billionaires and millionaires) that are on the side of reason and are looking out for humanity and the planet?
Are these are the same billionaires that told us lead in gas was safe and tobacco didn't cause cancer.
I've personally still got XP boxes and can't upgrade as the attached, expensive, hardware I use to run my business doesn't have drivers post XP. And the hardware is exteremely good, extremely reliable and just works. The software I use to control it also just works. Modern versions of both the hard and soft ware are crap in comparison (lots of removed features etc.)
Why is it Microsoft's fault that your hardware vendor refuses to release drivers for more modern versions of Windows?
I have the hardware if you have the software, well technically it is a Compaq Alpha but still. Last time I booted it up it was running Mandrake Linux for Alpha.
DoD smart card authentication is expensive but works well on the admin netowrks.
But: Many Mission Systems don't support it. Certificates have a tendency to expire at the worst time. Network system administrators required multiple certificates, one for each account. Virtual infrastructure doesn't do the best job of supporting them. Latency can cause using certificate based authentication to remote systems to fail.
AKA being a helicopter parent. Damn glad my parents didn't try to listen in on every phone call I made as a kid and allowed me to play outdoors in 1000 acres of forest without continuous supervision.
This is and old scam updated for modern times, scammers used to send small bills for office supplies to accounting departments of large corporations hoping the bill would be paid without any checking for validity. Worked often enough that the scammers kept doing it.
Liberal or Conservative doesn't matter, many places put up barriers to more affordable housing, high rises and the like. The affluent like their views and large estates and will put up regulatory barriers to prevent the hoi pollio from moving into "their" neighborhoods. See Cape Cod residents fighting off shore wind generation because it will mess with their precious view or Gated Communities etc.
The Hamptons make it almost impossible for new construction due to minimum lot sizes and other methods to keep out affordable housing.
California is one of those states that send more money to the Feds then they get back SOOOOO Tennessee dollars aren't going to California to subsidize those California people getting section 8 vouchers other Californians are doing the subsidizing.
Kind of like the satellite and cable TV providers charging you rent for the device necessary to decode the signal. Dish will charge you the same amount whether you own the receiver or they provide the receiver. Still trying to figure out that one.
You understand gays are not "born that way," correct?
Try telling a gay teenager that is struggling with bullying and ridicule that he/she made a choice to be gay. FYI homosexuality exists in the animal kingdom and has been recorded in humans since humans kept recording.
Your religious beliefs about sexuality have no basis in science.

Your argument fails to explain why places like Seattle, WA have shit internet access. Pretty decent population density there.

As someone who experienced the 70s, Ronald Reagan was elected based on convincing the voters that that economically the 70's were pretty damn bad.
I remember "Stagflation" and price controls because inflation was rampant.
