I have no desire to own or operate a drone. But in the same way I'm not gonna shoot down a kid's kite for flying over my property (or the soccer ball that got kicked into my yard), I don't think that "Maybe it had a weapon on it!!!" is a good reason to shoot down somebody else's drone.
Unfortunately, "refute" has two commonly used meanings. The sense of the word that you (and I) understood was to "disprove" a claim - however, it can also be used to simply mean to "deny" a claim.
I think it's disingenuous to say refute when you mean deny; but headline writers love their clicks.
The summary neglected to mention, but Tumblr has promised that you will be able to share in the profit from the ads that appear on your own blog, if you choose not to opt out. (Similar to how a youtube channel owner can allow ads on their videos in exchange for a cut).
I imagine it won't be a meaningful amount of money for most users, but I think that's an important detail that makes this seem less Evil than it otherwise would.
What a trash video. He basically says "um have they considered that you'll be going fast and that crashing is bad?"
He's not even consistent - he claims in one breath that any crash would breach the outer walls and that repressurization would be catastrophically fast, and in the next that humans couldn't possibly survive until the tube repressurized and would die nearly instantly from being exposed to vacuum.
He also doesn't really know how anything works and throws in meaningless stats constantly. Like when he compares the mass of the air in the tube about 20 minutes in - irrelevant to anything. It's like saying the water pressure in my shower is somehow increased by the mile of plumbing between me and the water tower.
Because having more than a subsistence existence is pretty nice, actually. And holding down a job and being rewarded for it also feels nice for your self-esteem (provided that it's not a terrible abusive job).
Please note that basic income does away with the poverty traps of means-based assistance (housing assistance, food stamps). So you'll still have enough money to live on, but you won't have much discretionary income and won't be able to afford the things you like.

I'm not sure that helped.

An abandoned stroller could be a bomb. Better blow it up, just to be safe.
I dunno about you, but I'm less than 50cm wide. I'll show up as maybe a single pixel.
I'm okay with them knowing that something is moving in my backyard, which is about all they can tell at that resolution.
Chances are you're not content to watch video in 240p anymore.
They think that Tor is now an SJW project because they fired a guy who sexually harassed (at least) multiple subordinates.
And SJW = bad, so clearly Tor = bad.
.... I think it was? But now I'm second-guessing myself.
Because I had to click through three pages to get to the actual source:

Not hundreds.
This just looks at renewable resources (or those renewable within a timely manner), so oil/coal/gas is not included.
I feel like I've heard this story before, from other BitCoin exchanges. I'm sure these guys are super honest and trustworthy, though.
Get a load of this guy.
Pssh, like that can't be forged.

Beacons that do shift with the continent - the idea is any movement by them, you can also assume that the points between the beacons have moved.

A nice contrast with the Security Theater Agents at the airport. :)
If I give you a ten dollar bill and you want to keep $11.50, uh, go for it. Good luck.
Ugh, not this "hot coffee idiots" meme again.
Go look up the facts of the case.
Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are all about your fear of The Other. Number 1 too, once you go into it a layer.
Sounds like a job that's ripe for a pay increase, then.
Employers would be forced to pay higher wages for sucky, yet important jobs, or the jobs would become less awful in order to retain their employees.
I prefer to use static analysis tools that will catch this sort of thing for me, rather than bend the code style so the compiler will catch it.
