It seems you are right, I didn't believe it until I read the link. But starting with bad faith national security exceptions could be the start of the end of WTO. If the US does it for something like this, what would prevent other countries from doing it because they would like a specific embargo? And effectively ending the WTO would be really stupid for most countries, including the US.
Because threatening countries with sanctions if they grant asylum to dissidents is wrong, as it is interfering with the internal affairs of foreign countries. Apparently, following through on it would also be against WTO treaties.
Snowden should be held accountable for his actions and he should be tried on all charges they want to throw at him. They are doing their job to ensure that he is
There is a procedure for how to do this. It includes extradition requests once the suspect is in the country, not threatening with sanctions before any asylum request have been made.
His life is a wreck no matter where he hides he knew that when he made his decision. He may as well do it here and let US citizens stand by him, or crucify him, as it is nominally our interests he was trying to protect.
Why should he go to a country that has shown callous disregard for due process in every step of this case, to spend the rest of his life in prison (you don't actually believe he has any chance of being pardoned, do you?), which may have outlawed torture of inmates, but has in reality outsourced it?
By running and hiding with our enemies, he looks very guilty.
Speaking of how actions make you look, this move makes the US look like bully that doesn't care about sovereignty and treaties. Is this really in the best interest of the country? Is his crime really henious enough that this amount of grandstanding is appropriate?
You shouldn't multiply with 0.25%, should you? So the number of extra deaths is 2, on top of the 5 natural ones. Still very little compared to the tsunami. Somebody elsewhere in the thread said that it represented 0.5% extra risk of cancer, leading to a whopping 0.5 extra cancer deaths.
I don't think it is very widespread, it is mostly mentioned when people get bright ideas about helping each other with keeping gardens, and renovating houses. It would be hard to prove, especially given that gifts are not taxed (up to a certain amount), so they must prove that there was a deal.
Do you have a reference for asbestos physically cutting up DNA being the route by which it causes cancer? I would assume that it did it by causing constant inflammation, but that other route would be cool (well, as cool as carcinogens can be).
What have that got to do with taxing barter? They will tax you in money, the amount being based on an estimation of the value of the bartered items (at least, that is how my country does it).
Do you have a reference to such a case? I have been searching, but in all of the cases I dig up, either the farmer has actively sought to get the effect of round-up ready seeds, or have earlier signed a contract with Monsanto in order to buy such seeds.
As pesticides go, glyphosate is by far the least worrisome for mammals. Its toxicity is a little higher than that of table salt. It doesn't do algae and amphibians any good, so it should be kept out of the streams, but for mammals, there are natural compounds in any plant that is worse (except for strawberries, for some reason).
English does have a convenient word to describe "the study of human activity in the past, primarily through the recovery and analysis of the material culture and environmental data that they have left behind", including recent past. That word is archaeology.
If it was so overly priced you'd have a ton of competitors out there.
There is another hypothesis that fits the data, the "entrenched monopoly" part of the GPP and the "run all games" of your post. It might be that Windows is a worse deal than Linux, but Windows+games is a better deal than Linux+games (or +office, or any other de facto standard software only running on Windows).
Oh wait, no, there isn't. And I suspect no, you won't spend the 200 million man hours writing the OS and then release it for free either. Until then, $100 seems like a pretty good deal.
So OSX, Linux and BSD doesn't count as competitors? And the last two either aren't free, or haven't taken a massive amount of development?
That is what they are doing. One step in securing the tech is to limit the number of back doors. Apparently, the best way to do this presently is to have as little US tech involved as possible.
The cops in Denmark do fire warning shots, both in the only recent case of them firing against a demonstration (1992, with cobblestones raining down on them, and having run out of tear gas, IIRC), and when trying to stop a car from running them over. Of course, as a civillian, I only hear details of the examples that have gone horribly wrong, but I don't think the cops in question got into trouble for the waning shots, so I assume it is standard practice.
From what I have read of the case Martin didn't simply "show any sign" of his displeasure. He had Zimmerman on the ground and was beating his head against it. This is slightly more aggressive than saying "Hey, man, stop following me", as I am sure you will agree.
TFS indicates that this is due to sexism holding women out of traditional jobs, leaving starting your own tech company as the only possibility, and you somehow interpret that as a negative for secularism? Wow.
Ah, so THAT is what is meant by finding proofs being NP-Hard. Thanks:-)
However, I don't think that that necessarily makes math itself hard. Consider the travelling salesman problem in fully connected graphs. Determining whether a path smaller than N exists is NP-complete, but determining whether ANY path exists is trivial (it does, as the graph is fully connected). In math, we are rarely concerned with determining whether a short proof exists (though it is nice if it does), but whether any proof exists, so we could have a situation where determining whether a proof exists is much easier than determining whether a proof with particular properties exist. Or am I missing something?
The Nazies weren't killing people because they were from a particular religion or religious culture, they were killing people because they were of a certain ethnicity (or a group of certain ethnicities), so while neither is correct, race is closer to a correct classification. What word would you use to describe the group of people the Nazies called "jews"?
While neither parsec or light year are accepted for use with the SI system, the distance in parsecs can be experimentally determined up to around 1.000-2.000 parsecs, so its use can be accepted (though I assume this indicates that the distance is determined by parallax, or is extrapolated from a distance measured with parallax). Light years have no such redeeming features, and is only used because people are to lazy to use proper units, which in this case would make the distance 5.9*10^2 petameters, or 0.59 exameters.

Huh, it seems other actually is a blanket exception for anything a country decides is a national security issue. But if the US decides to start using that in bad faith, it could end the WTO, which is in no ones interest.

A Russian Snowden would not help that much, as any illumination he did would be with alpha particles which aren't very penetrating.
Ah, increase is relative to the number of cancer deaths, not to the number of people irradiated. Got that.
You shouldn't multiply with 0.25%, should you? So the number of extra deaths is 2, on top of the 5 natural ones. Still very little compared to the tsunami. Somebody elsewhere in the thread said that it represented 0.5% extra risk of cancer, leading to a whopping 0.5 extra cancer deaths.
Also, administration of Potassium Iodate pills are pretty standard procedure
Shouldn't that be potassium iodide? Or are they using iodate?

You wont get HF directly from teflon, there is no hydrogen in there. You might get it if there is oil in the pan.
What you will get is carbonyl flouride, the fluoride analogue of phosgene. Mmmmhhhh...
What have that got to do with taxing barter? They will tax you in money, the amount being based on an estimation of the value of the bartered items (at least, that is how my country does it).
A citation is certainly needed to to link these issues to the amount of micronutrients in food.

How do you screw somebody over by taking something they willingly give you?

Because the work in on the ideomotor effect, which is quite susceptible to expectations, so without blinding, they will seem to work.
