I recommend travelling in and out of airports over 11K for anyone looking for adventure. Make sure to get a window seat. I did it once and it's about the wildest ride you can do on commercial. The landing and takeoff speeds are more than double compared to typical airports.
Do they actually have advertisers? One would think that if an ad for Bob's Discount Autos was heard on a "pirate" radio station then a visit from the FCC and a fine would encourage Bob to not advertise and thus the radio station would go away fairly quickly. If the power requirements are so low that the stations need not advertise then perhaps a more reasonable approach would be a low cost for low power broadcast license?
No, don't go watch 'his' Trek episode because the original script was rather brutally rehashed to avoid being too edgy for television. Go read his Trek episode.
I have a first generation Fire that I got for free when opening a bank account. It doesn't even have a microphone, never mind a camera. So I'm all set for all my Alexa and Echo needs.
Yeah, and it's way cheaper to get the stuff you are launching into space and the rockets and fuel over to Hawaii first!
If you meant to be sarcastic you are incorrect; fuel for an ocean ship to go to Hawaii and a truck to grind up a mountain road are a rounding error to the fuel needed to fly straight up 2 miles.
Well in about the same way that United Airlines shouldnâ(TM) allow their pilots to don blindfolds while attempting to land the airplane.
Instrument landings happen all the time is when the *airplane* is effectively blindfolded by poor weather. But there's no way the pilots can see the instrumentation when blindfolded themselves, that would be nonsense.
Wow, you can guess how many companies in which an un-renewed contract worker would NOT be detected properly? This company is impressively integrated. I bet they have a first class internal auditing team who had to hassle system owners for years before this was all properly configured.
As for payroll taxes, if you don't know you're paying them or how much you're probably liable to get audited by the IRS very soon. Between W-4, W-2 and your pay stubs you should be aware of this information. =Smidge=
This just about says it all in regards to how your points are incorrect. The amounts listed on your pay stub are YOUR share of payroll taxes. Your employer pays that same amount again. Economic studies on this point show over and over that employers view the total of payroll taxes plus wages to be the cost of having an employee, therefore by definition are willing to pay that amount no matter who gets it, the employee or the IRS.

That makes no sense. Maybe your idea of what "fair tax" is isn't what advocates of the actual "Fair Tax" bill promote, or maybe you just don't realize that sales tax disproportionately increases costs of living on people whose taxable spending takes up the majority of their income (i.e. poor people)
=Smidge=
That's what the pre-bate under the fair tax does; eliminates tax for the necessities low income people need to buy. Instead, with the current system over half of the federal government's revenue comes from sources you never actually see: payroll taxes (which reduce workers' wages) and corporate income tax (which everyone pays as baked into the cost of everything they buy) and import taxes (which everyone pays as baked into the cost of anything they buy that was imported). The nasty thing about payroll and corporate income taxes is that most people have no idea they even pay it, never mind how much they pay. The fair tax would let you see on every purchase how much you pay in tax.

The army has air planes, the navy has air planes, the marines has air planes. Why are they not all in the air force?
I'll assume you're not being obtuse and answer your question: the flowchart for this is fairly straightforward...
For aircraft model X:
1) Does the Army have a mission specific need to directly support Army operations with this model? If yes, assign to Army use.
2) Does the Navy have a mission specific need to directly support Navy operations with this model? If yes, assign to Navy use.
3) In addition to yes or no to the above, does US military have a global strategic or battlefield operations need for this model outside of directly supporting Army and Navy operations and/or would answering yes to both above offer savings in consolidation? If yes, assign to Air Force.
Apply the above flowchart to satellite and other space based military assets with #3 being theoretical Space Force. If #3 has a significant number of Yes, consider creation of Space Force.
The Air Force has cars, the Navy has cars, the Army has cars. Do you think we should be combining the management of these assets into one combined "Car Force"?
I find straw man arguments quite entertaining; keep up the good work.

How's that agile development coming along?

Control for other causes among 500K participants over the entire breadth of the island of Great Britain? What do you want??

Was that the one about the guy who fell in love with a clone?
Now go watch his Trek episode.

That's what happens when someone is spending other people's money.
This is what happens with cost-plus contracting instead of fixed price contracting.

Launches from the top of a Hawaiian island would be closer to the equator and higher up in the sky to start with.
in the car. If nothing else it decreases the odds. They'd both have to be watching Hulu to mess up.
It is a sad comment on society of epic proportions if companies need to hire two people to police each other from cell phone addiction.

If the entire Slashdot community ever agreed upon anything, it would be a very bad sign. ;-)
Does anyone disagree with me when I say slashdot has gone severely down hill compared to 15 years ago?

Hopefully never, because the "fair tax" hurts the people who can least afford it the most, and is anything but fair.

Universal income is still hides the problems with taxation. When is somewhere going to pilot the fair tax?

How exactly did you get from consolidating satellite and other space based services to electing a king in 1775?
