In other words if you are white male or female you can be openly harassed.
Is this something that happens to you a lot in the Ubuntu and Python communities? If this is not an issue for you maybe you can think of an reason why we would need such rules.
ISPs can still see the hostnames of the sites you visit, that is sent in clear text because of Server Name Indication (TLS SNI). That is plenty of information.. So encrypted/signed DNS still only give you part of a solution.
He looked at me and said, "well it depends on the department. For example, int he DoE (dept of education) anything under 75 million "missing" is a rounding error."
That's a wonderful anecdote I'll probably use sometimes, the conspirationist in me thinks that it might be a wanted feature for DoE. What comes after auditing is really strange I've also come across irregularities at 25% of the budget, and the people affected did not want to take that further. So I believe you in that something like this can happen, but embezzlement is not my first guess.
no one said things like "Obama [**inser crazy thing**]"
Sure they did, they said that quite a lot actually, there was a complete news network dedicated to come up with new crazy things to insert there. Sometimes it's correct that the administration of the current president is the instigator of some crazy things, but motsly it's as you say just things that comes with governing. In this case, I don't know, but budget cuts of $75 million is nothing to scoff at.
I agree that we need to get away from this black and white kind of reporting it doesn't help either side in the long run. I do not know if you are a Trump supporter, but if you are then you better concentrate on the reporting in your own camp, it's better to discuss these things with people that trust your intentions. If you are not a Trump supporter then yey for you.
You always have responsibility for your thoughts and views.
I've not read Salon and the likes but you might need to read some more from serious people who do not share your views, because if you think the memo was written be some enlightened bro who knows enough about gender bias to say something intelligible then you are sadly mistaken. I'm sure his memo struck some chords in your heart, but it doesn't matter if most of it was bullshit.
Saying stupid shit gets you fired if the wrong person hears it, that sucks, I'm not sure I think it should be that way but it sadly is.
All Operating Systems sucks, trademarked words in it does not make it suck less.:-)
I've only had a couple of thousands desktop Linux and Windows clients under my control back in the day, and it really is no difference at least moneywise, it is easier to do hires for Windows as long as you pay the senior guy enough to keep him. Happily I've heard that out sourcing is working pretty well on the Windows side so it's going to be a lot cheaper than Linux soon.
Linux might not be for you and your environment, but that doesn't mean it sucks more than your prefered variant.
there is also a 0% rate applicable to exports and the local supply of certain goods and services. Sales of ice, fresh water, machinery and raw materials for manufacturers, books, newspapers, magazines by their editors, medicines, as well as the supply of services to eligible manufacturers, are subject to the 0% rate.
That does not seem like a tax break on everything Mexican, far from it. I must say trying to understand tax laws of other countries is not my favorite thing so I do not stand by this.
assumed they would all be retired in 25 years Ã" the average lifespan
Odd assumption considering that the standard warranty is 25 years, with quality brands like Sharp and LG now at 30 years.
The solar panels we bought 30 years ago still give us enough power to warrant being mounted on our roof, I have no idea what the warranty was then or how the quality has changed since then..
Or more directly, they're healthy enough to bike to work.
I agree that exercise contains huge health benefits, but there's also a huge selection bias at work. Seriously unhealthy people probably can't handle the rigours of cycling to work.
Usually if you read the study you will find that they have already figured this out and measure it, these kind of simple objections are often accounted for. Beside that the percentage of people that can handle a 20-60 minute bicycle commute is so large that it doesn't really matter, everyone I know can handle it with a few exceptional exceptions.
I'm assuming a lot of stuff about this discussion though, I've not read the study nor the article, but similar papers on the subject usually have this in their models so...
I'm not sure it would help against your pretty sever case of confirmation bias. In my commute there is a great percentage of cars doing stupid shit that endanger other people, and there are seldom any cyclists doing that. But hey they say if you don't know who's the stupid there is a pretty high risk it's you. While I don't consider myself stupid you never know...
I heard news articles saying that the local [religous leaders] calling for death to gays
These are not left/right questions, it is a free speech issue and a rascism/protectionism issue. Here in Scandinavia terror spread from the far right is actually a bigger concern, if we look at terror attacks on our soil. These acts of terror are not done by muslims, and by your logic we should start looking harder at the far right and prohibiting their leaders to express themselves in media. We already hinder free speech, and it is helping to some extent to have consequences when you call for the death of all ZYX, not very harsh though. We are not banning far right activists entry, that's about as ridiculous as your suggestion though.
So sure your statements are racist, let me use a car analogy; car owners kill a lot of people with their cars, it would make a lot more sense for the US to ban cars from certain high risk areas. Sure they are "accidents" but they do happen consistently and the group of car owners can very well be held responsible, just as you say that the billions of muslims in the world should take responsibilities for the actions of the few.
In the end when you say "we should not let the group XYZ do ZYX" it's easily rascism.
the small city I live in had 3 pedestrian hits last year. The pedestrian walked into traffic each time, and weren't paying attention.
If those numbers are true for a longer period of time the traffic in your city work completly different from any other town I've ever read about, but I guess it could easily happen for 3 cases, if you have really badly streets.
So we should spend millions on childproofing the roads because alleged adults cannot be assed to look left and right before running after some pokemon?
The people who are killed are not the ones using smartphones.
One interesting thing I did manage to glean from the statistics is that fully 1/3rd of all deaths of pedestrians did not involve another party, but were caused by falls or bumping into a stationary object. Numbers for cyclists are about the same. And the vast majority of injuries did not involve another party. Cars are a big health problem but the numbers show a pretty steady overall decline (in terms of accidents as well as emissions, I might add); hopefully cars will drop below clumsiness as a cause of death of pedestrians.
Emissions is actually getting worse at least if you count from 1970, and death by the emissions from cars is going up. In Sweden are about 300% more people killed by pollution from cars than from actual accidents.
Not sure what you want stats on, it's pretty hard to use traffic statistics because there are lots of strange pitfalls. E.g. cyclists injured by dooring is counted as a self inflicted injury in some countries.. But yes being injured by infrastrucure and bad maintenance is a real thing, but at least here most deaths and severe injuries in traffic are directly connected to cars.
The biggest problem is the infrastructure, drivers and cars not pedestrians, so I think you are missing the point completly.
I've often wondered why people look away from the act of random terror that cars subject us to in everyday life, instead the victims get blamed. At some point you have to understand that cars are a big health problem.
Did you know that in the last 15 years there is a very high correlation between the rate of margarine consumption and the divorce rate in Maine, so obviously we if we want to protect children from divorce we should ban margarine (which is a french invention anyways).

Of course news orgs should pay royaltees but should Google and Twitter who do it automatically (no)?

No, he did not. The leaker did.

There are three rules of behavior SJWs almost always follow.
I guess that's just ment to be offensive?
From the internet about Mexican VAT:
there is also a 0% rate applicable to exports and the local supply of certain goods and services. Sales of ice, fresh water, machinery and raw materials for manufacturers, books, newspapers, magazines by their editors, medicines, as well as the supply of services to eligible manufacturers, are subject to the 0% rate.

This could very well be caused by the (already) healthy people choosing to ride the bike to work....
Health it's something you have to maintain, no one is healthy by default and it doesn't really take much to become healthy.
There are very few people who are not fit enough to bicycle.
It's going to be 90 degrees next week.
Best way to keep cool is to generate your own breeze.
Or more directly, they're healthy enough to bike to work.

Not? So that organ donor that jumped in front of my car because his eyes were glued to the damn smartphone
You must drive really fast if you hit people so hard that their eyes are litereally glued to your smartphone.

The biggest problem is people like you, thinking only yourselves.
Thank you! But I'm not sure how thinking for yourself would be a problem..
The biggest problem is the infrastructure, drivers and cars not pedestrians, so I think you are missing the point completly.
I've often wondered why people look away from the act of random terror that cars subject us to in everyday life, instead the victims get blamed. At some point you have to understand that cars are a big health problem.
Then make the yellow phase longer.
You are not allowed to cross a yellow light here, unless as you say it would mean slamming your brakes, running a red light ALWAYS means a fine.
You're an idiot for stating that Germany is still an occupied country.
Really? What exactly would you call a country that has more external military than local military? A hotel? A brothel?
This made my day. :-)
But what ever we say about the military threat to Germany I have always thought of Gemany as a country which can make its own laws.
You are digging you hole deeper and deeper. :-)
