Do you even hear yourself? "Gee, all we have to do is displace the military industrial complex." That's not simple or easy. That's a cataclysmic level of change. The fact that you are so eager to ignore the obvious challenges here does not make them magically go away.
You do realize that an explosive device requires ACTUAL explosives don't you? This doesn't even look like a bomb from Hollywood or TV (like the crackers in Irving tried to claim). It just looks like a random collection of electronics and a large led display.
We made gag clocks in Junior Achievement more convincing than this.
Time by it's transient nature makes anything that has come and gone already a very problematic thing to study. Evidence is limited and indirect. It makes guesswork highly likely at which point bias and perception become a much bigger problem.
Somewhat old textbooks (or video) are a great way to view this effect in action.
This isn't just wild speculation, it's history. It's why someone like Kim Davis even has a religion to use as some sort of excuse. Israel is the well established national homeland of Jews.
The problem is that you describe a number crunching machine as the first instance ever of number crunching and that is clearly not that case. There are much older examples of using math and mapping that to something else. Also, at that time there were already other examples of machines that could do something besides number crunching. This was a real example as opposed to just a mathematical construct or element of fiction.
There seem to be too many eager white knights here.
...especially since Jews and Israelis are the LAST people who would want to censor anyone. They're usually the first ones to get abuse by something like this.
Sure they are. Otherwise, you don't have a populace that can freely participate in democracy. If any form of heresy is tolerable, then the powers that be can just redefine it in a way that suits them.
The whole effort is naieve.
The problem with the Nazis is not that they "said things" but that they "did things" which should have been prosecuted as crimes when they happened.
Nothing that Poettering is doing now addresses "The problem".
That's any of the usual FUD that are claimed to be problems for actual consumer end users. That is perhaps the single most frustrating aspect of his current nonsense. He's insisted on making sweeping changes to the parts that don't need fixing and are the least relevant to "the problem".
...except this isn't "English", this is law including little things called rights and criminal liability.
If you aren't a full adult, then you're just another variation on the underclasses. What's sadder still is that some people are enthusiastic to go along with that kind of crap.
People are considered "children" and "protected", except when they aren't. People are considered "adult" and granted full rights, except when they aren't.
A document standard should be independent of any one particular person's views on how an editor for it should be implemented. Any successful format should have proof of concept tools implemented through a variety of methods.
> If you work at a large enough company, you can't just take the company credit card to shop with whenever the whim strikes you. Otherwise the IT staff would end up with their own company Lamborghini.
That's pretty easy to avoid. Just have a purchasing limit for the employee. It's nice and simple and easily avoids the "lamborghini problem.
No. Socialism subverts the free market. It substitutes "fair" with "equal" and destroys the usual incentives that encourage people to excel. It's very much like communism in this respect. It errs to far on the other side and tends to sabotage anything that's not the status quo.
All your pretense does is serve to make you more difficult to communicate with. It's less useful and less descriptive. The only thing it really have going for it is "snark" and that's not really productive unless you just want to troll.
I think there is a deeper problem there. In the broader culture, ignorance seems to imply not just a lack of knowledge but also a lack of desire to remedy that lack of knowledge.
Science is a method and a philosophy. It's not a set of facts put down in a book to be worshiped like an idol. Teaching those ideas would be far more useful then forcing to regurgitate a bunch of facts.
That way when they see Tyson put "science and truth" in a sentence together they can know how full of shit Tyson is.
Clearly you neglected the bit where previous alternative energy interests were directly pandered to. Without that, this new solar project would have no way to transmit it's power.

Your argument is still unproven and thus something that no one should take seriously. The requirement to "prove it" still remains.
That's the whole problem from the "bad arguments don't matter" camp.
It still helps to understand how the car functions, even if you don't intend to fix it yourself. Otherwise, it's easy to destroy your rather expensive asset or cause it to be a threat to self and others.
The same goes for computers.
On the other hand, the powers that be don't want informed consumers either.
There are a lot of schools out there. Not all of them are going to be a total meat grinder. They vary from engineering to business with stops in between.

No. This kind of nonsense has nothing to do with "civilization". It's the screeching of freeloaders that can't think shit through.
They're economists. That's pretty much the definition of a wasted life. Take political dogma and try and to pretend it's some sort of science.

That sounds like a really weak attempt to come to the rescue of your favorite corporate brand.
If it's a fundemental design bug, then it's still a bug.

>> The answer is, they were unable to prove that the sex was not consensual. That's not quite the same as saying that the sex was consensual.

The presumption of innocence isn't just a "bad idea from MRA-land", it also happens to be the law.

The data is the point, not the tool.

No. The problem is what do you call a person. At what point does a blob become a person? What's that defining moment.
Theocratic busybodies are no good at answering that question. They probably would not like the answer.
Plus you have other fun issues to deal with that the "morally superior" types like to ignore.

Yes, really.
And the US Civil War? Like you really have to ask on this one... They pretty much invented "total war" during this one.
