You won't see any imaginary vote tallies on my authoritative site. If you see that Hillary got 60e6+5e5j votes...you know it's a fake. Real election results will be certified by the states and reported on their elections departments' websites and in established newspapers of record. That's where you get numbers that matter. Not from the first thing that pops out of Google.
If we wrote code the way some people get their news, it'd all be a sea of javascript snippets and interdependencies that would break at the drop of a hat. Oh wait.
No, it doesn't. The US never set foot in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, or Syria. Nor did our allies. Not did anyone else as far as I can tell. Arab Spring was home grown 100 percent.
Ooy. More plant matter as the steady state condition means less CO2 in the air as a steady state condition than there would have been without more plants.
This is only the most obvious of a dozen and a half negative feedback mechanisms the planet has for staying at its equilibrium temperature in the face of perturbations and disturbances such as solar activity, the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit around the sun, precession of the polar axis, and release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses through natural and artificial processes.
Good thing too. Now that Obama's not going to be in office to hold back the oceans any more, we could use all the help we need.
Yet again, dear msmash: this is an American site. I don't give a flying fuck about how the monarchists on the wrong side of the planet are hampering the free expression of ideas by their subjects. We don't have this old world bullshit here; we have freedom here.
Classified is supposed to live on classified computers. Classified computers are supposed to be airgapped from the public internet. Unless you "accidentally" type classified information with your hands into an unclassified email or "accidentally" Snowden the data onto a removable device and then "accidentally" plug it into an internet-connected machine, there's no way to "accidentally" email it to someone who doesn't have a clearance.
What India are you watching? A nation four times the size of the US with less per-capita GDP, scientific output, and most importantly, spacecraft in orbit is somehow punching above their weight? They've got good people who work for cheaper, sure, but they've also got so much crap and cheating and lies inflating their academics that it's painful to listen to.
Orbital Sciences has been launching small satellites for ages. There, I didn't even have to search the web to come up with a counterexample.
The Indian Mars mission was tiny, about a quarter of the size and weight of the MAVEN, with about 1/4 of the science payload. Hence, 1/4 the cost. If they tried to build an American-sized scientific satellite, with all the same capabilities, they'd cost as much as we do. Just like the Russians and the Chinese cost about as much as we do. Some things take up size and require power and can't be done with small sats. Incidentally, our small sats cost about as much as theirs do.
More propaganda out of msmash about Indian supremacy. Kudos on not having blatant misspellings this time.
not even a charging port. You can buy a giant charging pad and keep it in your pocket when you're on the go. It'll even double as an ass warmer if you're by an outlet but you're phone's already topped off.
Back when you could look up at the night sky with a home-built telescope and make ground-breaking discoveries, you could argue that science was more pure in that the scientist was accountable only to himself. Now it costs billions of dollars to make scientific instruments that are capable of detecting phenomena past the boundaries of the possible. Mathematics has never been a turn-the-crank discipline. Biology is also harder than it was in the day of the gentleman-scientist because it's very capital intensive. Money doesn't grow on trees and you eggheads don't get to hike our taxes to fund your (statistically speaking) fool ideas just because you've come up with a more socially acceptable way of saying that you deserve everyone else's money because you're doing God's work.
Breakthroughs don't happen overnight, never have, not really. Most published science is not reproducible, especially in the life sciences. And you want to move from an incremental model to a fund-everything model and expect better results? Nope. Breakthroughs always come at the margins. Nose to the grindstone and stop complaining. Statistically speaking, not a single one of you special little snowflakes has an ego-to-competence ratio below unity. Given the tenor of this post, I'd surmise that it's somewhere several dB north of unity.
In math, there's this thing called proof by contradiction. You state a claim and then follow logically from that claim to get blatant nonsense like 1=0 or a number being both bigger and smaller than some limit. This tells you that your claim is false, because by following it where it leads, you get something that isn't sensible or true.
So it is with hate speech policies. You start out with a claim that 'hate speech is bad and should be banned' and you perfectly logically end up in a place where you censor a major party presidential candidate. That's bad. If you like Trump the person, it's bad. If you can't stand Trump but like his stated policies, that's bad. And if you hate Trump and/or his policies that's bad. Why is it bad? Well, at the very least it makes it impossible to make a fully informed choice in the election.
As a long-time Republican, I posit that if Trump had been under the same kind of microscope last year that he's under today, he'd've never been nominated and we could have a real election instead of this shit show. So yeah: 'bad speech is bad' can lead you to a bad place. Hence, SJW hate speech policiies are bullshit and bad for democracy.
Maybe you should have learned your way around a milling machine instead of just a keyboard. Record number of unfilled positions for skilled machinists, welders, and the like. Anyone telling you they can't find work is either lazy or lying.
People who peddle hysteria are often trying to sell me something. People who hype the next great disruptive thing are also frequently trying to sell me something. You're doing both. You're not going to get twice the customers.
Steel is still steel. Wood is still wood. A hundred years ago the production of both was mechanized and the installation of both was manual, just like today. You are just as bad as Parag Khanna: you're using words and forming them into sentences that are syntactically valid and pretty-sounding but completely divorced from reality.
It's a flavor of an obscure Germanic language spoken by a large portion of the civilized people in this place called 'America.' You may have heard of it. We're renowned for our trucks and our elevators, as well for as our scientists and engineers. No boffins though.
Too much Star Trek as a kid is my diagnosis for the cause of your thinking. Here in real life, robots can't do shit, google image search AI runs on a giant room full of servers and gets a hit rate of about half, and your cell phone is hand-assembled. People would know that if they didn't wrap themselves in a plastic utopia and people who actually do things and make things (bits, bytes, and physical objects) for a living half always known that. By the time any of your fears come to life, in maybe a millenium, time will sort it all out.
The reason those people are afraid to quit their "dead end" jobs (which used to be known as gainful employment) is that their ideas are shit and if they can't raise any capital for it, odds are they can't make money, jobs, or widgets worth a damn if given the chance to. Entrepreneurship should be hard. Raising money should be hard. Weeds out the really stupid ideas before they have a chance to waste investors' money.
If the bank where you had your savings or the brokerage that administers your 401k decided to blanket invest 100k in every fool idea that walked in the door, you'd probably be the first to yank your money and put it somewhere where the people managing it aren't splitting their all of their chips on all the numbers on every single roll. But somehow it's a good idea in your mind if the government did it for all of us??! Are you fucking high? How is that responsible?
Every generation thinks it invented sex drugs and rock and roll. But I assure you that every generation also thinks it has invented the raving lunatic with a sandwich board warning us all that the end is near. The fact that the SEIU may have found a way to dress up its perpetual quest for handouts and free shit in that sandwich board doesn't change a damn thing. There will always be gainful employment for the people who want them and sloth should always be called for being the cardinal sin that it is. Changing times are not an excuse to lay back, smoke pot, and watch porn on other people's dime.
until they start putting systemd into an 'open source' infotainment system and you'll have to clack out garbage like 'enginectl --start --really --noforrealthistime --cylinders 0,1,2,3,4,5' on the touch screen.
After all, what kind of rube would put a phone up to their ear to talk on? Amiright? Wireless headset'll cover the niche case of using your phone to make phone calls.

No no. It was the power of his soaring rhetoric and mellifluous calm that commanded the oceans to stay back. Remember the narrative.

Which part of that violates the Constitution?

No. Those we import. Tricky business, too. Have to find ones that never learned who won the Revolutionary War.

Yeah. Let's subsidize stupid even more.
