I don't have time to explain the finer points of weasel words and controlling the narrative. But the simple answer is that the story has been deliberately crafted to sound good and reasonable to everyone. You have to look closer to find the manipulation.
That's a model that worked for Adobe. At least today nobody worries what programs used to be opened by Macromedia or Aldus or whoever. But you have to actually try to move them under a common model.
A de facto standard is just that. That's based more on economies of scale and practical consideration than actual requirements. Although if we get to start treating de facto ISP monopolies as actual monopolies when they carve up regions, then maybe it's not all bad.
They only claim that they would be "powering our global operations with 100% renewable energy by the end of 2020."
Capital improvements aren't considered "operational" and neither is employee travel. Corporate travel may be a different matter, but this is more a matter of semantics. They didn't directly say they are solely using 100% renewable energy.
61 minute commute for Winnemucca, NV, population 7,000? 64 minute commute if you live in DeRidder, Louisiana?
These exceptions probably have to do with no jobs anywhere nearby for most of the people living there and commuting a long distance rather than in heavy traffic. DeRidder appears to be surrounded on 3 sides by nature preserves / parks. Nearest major employers are probably about an hour's drive straight south.
It's not a fine, it's a tax. As much as they wanted to say otherwise, it's a tax. A tax that did try to force you to "engage in commerce" which was exactly my argument on the ACA.
You do if you have to get to your job and there are no publc transportation options.
True, but it still more closely fits the definition of optional compared to the ACA example. Having a job is optional even if life is terrible without one.
I don't think their success would prove it's feasible for all the states. I am thinking it only works because the other states are not competing to purchase solar/wind/hydro too heavily while they have access to coal/natural gas. Otherwise the price of clean energy would go much higher. It's still a good goal if they're willing to do it.
Not exactly the same. You don't have to have a driver's license. There is no similar way to opt out of healthcare (unless being unemployed actually exempts you - but that's a little more severe).
There's no reason to cram everyone into a dense urban center if so many people can work remotely from the comfort of home with no resource-wasting commutes.
You're the one with the backward way of thinking and this is a huge reason why rural broadband is so important.
I'm not going to take your opinion because your reading comprehension is terrible. You misquoted your own article. 66% of 18-24 year olds have always believed the earth is round. Not only is the percentage reversed, most of them aren't even Millennials. Millennials are aged 22-37 (a 2 year overlap). Of 25-34 year olds (100% millennials), only 7% believe the world is flat. 93% either believe the world is round or are unsure of the answer. This is assuming a trustworthy poll and participants not just clicking at random or intentionally skewing results.
You seriously believe that CNN gets more page views than Alex Jones? Itâ(TM)s not hard to check their respective web traffic.
Yes. And I did check. Alexa seems to show about 30x as much traffic to CNN on a daily basis. CNN also has roughly 10x the number of inbound links in their database. Those are all metrics that would rank CNN higher on a plain old algorithmic basis. Do you have a more reliable source with better information?
State laws on this do little but show support for it. After all, it mostly involves regulating interstate commerce unless you only care about web sites within your own state.
I've posted on this elsewhere, but I agree. The could do it, but I hardly imagine it to be very maintainable. Their algorithm is already hard enough to tweak without adding in manually set vectors everywhere.
The amount of good music has continued to climb. It's the discoverability that's gotten harder. Unless you know where to look, you're not going to find music that appeals to you. And you won't find any of it on the radio unless you just have really poor taste.

The point is that none of those things have anything to do with the problems "over here" that are the actual issue being discussed.

In fact, they now have their own local AWS cloud.

The question is whether Space Force will be using any JEDI technology.
Oracle bought Berkeley DB and released their own NoSQL database just a few weeks ago.

They can certainly pass a constitutional amendment, with enough effort. The states can't.

They're being very holistic in their approach to these numbers:

Their carbon footprint calculation includes corporate travel, employee commuting, and building construction.

the nationally ruling party has already signaled they're going to block CA on their higher car emissions.
They can signal all they want. They don't have a constitutional leg to stand on.
Grid battery storage and pumped hydro will have come a long way by then. Too early to say.

All states with trade deficit to CA should impose 50% tariff to all CA products and services.
They would need the federal government to do that - as that constitutes interstate commerce.

Because of course the better product always wins in the market.
Do you mean Nielsen ratings? What on earth do you think that has to do with a website ranking algorithm?
