Never mind the whole optics of looking like she was pre-ordained to be the candidate. If Democrats want to win, they need to put forward a moderate and centrist candidate.
Sanders earned the nomination (which, as you note, he didn't then get) by not being those things. That's not what liberals want. What we want is a genuine leftist, not another corporation-appeasing, warhawking centrist.
Having a religious belief is protected. You lose again.
There is no freedom of religion without freedom from religion. Permitting their god-fearing snowflakes to spread disease is permitting them to push their religion onto me, and interferes with my freedom of religion.
If, by "concentration camp management", you meant artillery firing tables and bomb drop compensation tables used by the US Army and Navy to crush the Third Reich and liberate the concentration camps, you'd be 100% correct.
They played both sides, just like the USA in general. We knew about fuel sales to the Third Reich and didn't stop it until late in the war, then seized the assets. But the Bush family fortune was founded upon Prescott Bush operating a company whose purpose was to funnel funding to Hitler too, and they even seized a bunch of the profits... but left him a cool million, which at the time was a lot of money.
A typical school bus is 40' long, 8' wide, and the interior space is about 6' tall in the center. Some of them have a 6'6" ceiling, though. The walls are about 2" thick, the roof and ceiling are curved and the space between them is 2-3" thick. You may do the math and convert to tapes, and thus to LoCs.
Yes PLEASE, give us Bernie, the guy who embraces the crazy left wing of your party... PLEASE!
Polls suggested that Sanders could have beat Trump, and that Clinton couldn't. And lo, she didn't.
Sanders' popularity has led every other Democrat towards the left, because he showed that centrism is not the winning strategy.
At least some (if not many) people who voted for Trump claimed they would have voted for Sanders, because they wanted to shake up politics. It is likely that those people will vote for Sanders if he makes it through the primary. They might well be enough to swing the vote.
Nope. Separate but equal is not equal. You lose instantly.
You're right, it's not equal. However, willful idiot is not a protected class — it's a choice. We all lose if we permit them to mix in with the rest of us.
While I agree with the general consensus that releasing the source to calculator is underwhelming, I'm wondering if there is more to the plan here.
There was just some story where people were complaining about how long it took to launch the Windows 10 calculator. Maybe Microsoft is just hoping that someone will fix it so that it launches in a reasonable time. Alternately, the calculator in Windows 7 still pops up rapidly, maybe they want to break that.
Well... I see your point, but again, we are talking about basic human rights outlined in the construction. It's going to be a hard lift in the courts for the government to legally prevent unvaccinated people from traveling or frequenting public places.
They can travel, but only in anti-vaxxer only transport, with clearly marked warnings for would-be good samaritans who don't want to risk becoming carriers, or being infected. They absolutely should not be permitted to frequent public places. They're making a choice to endanger others, and that choice should be given all the respect which it deserves; no more, and no less. It deserves to be respected in that they should be able to do it, but it also deserves to be respected in that their lack of regard for others must be addressed.
So let's make it nearly impossible to get public services, attend public schools or attend government sponsored gatherings of children without vaccines having been given as recommended,
...nor go anywhere public, since the measles virus (for example) can persist for as long as two hours. No supermarkets, no playgrounds, no airports, no bus depots...
Unfortunately we, as a society, are too civilized to simply say "no" when they come begging for a cure when they got the disease that the vaccine could have prevented.
Even if we put all the anti-vaxxers in one of the shitty states and built a wall around it, it would still benefit us to reduce illness in that neighboring area because walls don't work, and they would still be able to spread illness into our land.
I'm sure even the most naive of Chinese citizens are under no illusion that their government gives a rat's ass about their welfare at all, much less their privacy or freedom.
I'd have thought the same, but by most eyewitness accounts, people do seem to think that their government has their best interests in mind. Most of them aren't even aware of what's being done to them. To them, Tienanmen square is just a place, because China has been so effective at removing dissent (by removing dissenters.) And they've been raised not to believe in privacy or freedom.
The needlessly long answer nobody will read is that they can surely make some money, but nobody is going to drop their Netflix sub and pick up BBC. If they keep whole shows around (all seasons of a series, or in UK terms, all series of a show) then they can probably do all right, but they usually don't want to pay enough to do that. Most people seem want to binge-watch now, they don't want to have to pay while waiting for new episodes to come out.
What they should do is license their content to Netflix for worldwide distribution, so that they don't have to reinvent the wheel. Lots of people are opposed to paying for multiple subscription services at once, and Netflix is far and away most popular.
Without that smart meter, no suspicion, no probable cause, no warrant.
Wrong. Refusing the smart meter installation is itself suspicious. At minimum, you're untrusting and/or anti-authoritarian. Or maybe you're trying to hide your usage patterns. The same is true of a Facebook account. If you don't have one, many will take that as a suspicious sign. The fix isn't to refuse to use Facebook, it's to seek legislation to make it illegal to base decisions which will affect your life on Facebook metrics.
If someone has a Facebook account at this point they are a fucking moron.
Not having a Facebook account doesn't stop them from tracking you all over the internets. Noscript or ublock does that. I use both, plus a separate cookie mangler.
I use Facebook because that's where discussion groups I want to participate in are located. I don't share incriminating personal information there, I just talk about bus conversions and shit. The state already knows I drive a bus conversion.
I also block ads, so Facebook can only make money on me by what, selling my personality profile? So what, people will find out I'm interested in buses, cb radios, and auto paint? Oh noes!
You can refuse to use Facebook, that's not stupid. But nor is using it, or at least, no dumber than using any other site you don't control personally. Most websites track and monetize you. You might as well say the same thing about using Slashdot. Noscript suggests there's four+ different trackers on the page I'm typing this comment into right now.
AA is all about lifetime addiction. Shift you off of booze and onto coffee, donuts, and jesus. Admit that you are powerless? Fuck that. Make people powerful, not weak. And guess what? AA has about the same success rate as trying to quit on your own.
I highly doubt that there are 'software' on the iButtons, they are basically just another 'small' storage media like a diskette, or a USB flashdrive.
While you are almost certainly correct about what's on these iButtons, they actually have "Java iButtons" which have a processor onboard capable of running simple Java code. They are intended for upgradeable crypto tokens. Think SIM card.
As it is we're ignoring that responsibility for the sake of a fast buck.
That's how it works everywhere, which is why we are having a climate crisis. Cheeto Mussolini is as much a symptom as a cause. Hell, "ignoring responsibility for the sake of a fast buck" ought to be his motto. I bet it sounds better in Latin.
Please respond yes or no. Anything else is bullshit. They will or will not be capable of full level 5 autonomy by 12/31/2019?
The claim is that they will be able to do level 3, not level 5. Specific conditions, and still requiring a driver who can take over when the vehicle requests it. Probably still BS, though.
Maybe, maybe not. You have no proof they would have.
And you have no proof that they wouldn't have. If you get near a point, make it.
What we do know is Photoshop was one of the most widely pirated software titles out there.
So what? We also know that you're blaming people who would never have bought it anyway, who aren't reducing sales at all and who may one day purchase the software, for Adobe's corporate decisions. If you want to be upset at someone, be upset at the professionals who aren't paying for it, and are then making money with it, because they represent actual lost sales — and therefore an actual reason to implement this type of scheme. The hordes of kiddies who warez Photoshop and use it only to meme would never have given Adobe a dime to begin with.

Maybe we need a centrist party so that the sane people have someone to vote for?
There's nothing sane about the status quo. Corporatism will kill us all.
Never mind the whole optics of looking like she was pre-ordained to be the candidate. If Democrats want to win, they need to put forward a moderate and centrist candidate.

Yup. None of their business. Like most of my lifestyle details. There is a difference between 'privacy' and 'secrecy'.
Yeah? But what are you trying to hide?
Pai wasn't his appointment. President Trump just promoted him to the top spot.
They both appointed him to different positions. That doesn't make him not Trump's appointment, it makes him a shared evil decision.

Today's police violence/misconduct pales in comparison to the sheer majesty of brazen nefarious activities found in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
They are killing us in record numbers, so I don't believe that for a second. They are still up to all the same old tricks.

If you had a smart roadway that didn't have human drivers you could have autonomous cars right now (and 20 years ago too).
