Everyone is assuming that killing the project means that it was a failure. However, there is no indication that this was the case in TFA, AFAICT. Slashdot is being incredibly naive in regards to assumptions about how government and politics work.
no, stallman wants REASONABLE legislation, which may cause unreasonable businesses to fail if they can't adapt. Stallman advocates for smaller government overall than most libertarians, he just doesn't see private businesses as being all that different from governments. And in that regard, he is completely right.
The same way a functional government forces monopolies to cease to exist. We have a thousand things that are more indicative of a police state than regulating storage of personal information.
The current incarnation would not exist, but that doesn't mean that social media would cease to exist altogether. It's not as if Facebook is high quality in any way. They just benefit from a network effect, and others would fill that niche if Facebook were gone.
People want cool technical things. They accept trading privacy for said cool technical things. Said cool technical things could still exist, and would like be more cool and technical, if we had data protection/privacy laws. There's no reason we have to be tied to our current data laws.
I want Trump shot into the sun. I'm not pro-Trump, I'm anti-Trump. The reason I'm opposing your bullshit is because it is THE LEAST EFFECTIVE WAY TO TAKE TRUMP DOWN. Plus, 'treason' is such an outdated mindset that has nothing to do with the kind of real threats that exist today.
Look, everyone in Trump's cabinet is a crook in half a dozen ways, at least. But the strongest evidence that Trump and his campaign didn't collude with Russia is that they won. Everything they touch turns to shit, and they would all be more a liability than an asset. Russia is the dumbest way to attack Trump, and it's provided cover for John Bolton to come back and start another stupid war over claims of WMDs with nowhere near enough evidence.
C'mon, you're on/., so you have to be smart enough to realize that 4chan affected the elections more than Russia did, and had better trolling and memes. The whole Trump-Russia thing was a dodge for Clinton. Trump is more clearly in bed with the Saudis and Israel and any American oligarch that will pay him the slightest bit of attention, and those have more conflicts of interest for American citizens than whatever the hell the master plan is.
Plus, you fuckwits opened the door for war with Syria.
Very often, the money donated results in influence, power, cronyism, or nepotism, and is then discounted via tax breaks. A lot of charities wrote in favor of Comcast consuming everything on Earth because they wrote them a check. Yes, mindlessly donating money doesn't save you money, but charity is very much exploitable through various tricks.
Dems supported TPP because it was what their donors wanted, and nobody thought that the net effect of TPP was going to be stronger protections for anything other than corporate profits.

More importantly, have you MET any white people. White people [b]LOVE[/b] pretending that they are part Native American, so the attack is really stupid outside of the the people who would repeat anything if the right person told them to.
So, you are impressed because you don't understand math? He saved ~$15 million by passing tax cuts for himself. That alone will cover more than his salary. He's a con man, and an essential component of any con is misdirection.
I don't give a fuck about the success of American businesses, and certainly don't care about their dominance. The best places to live are not dominant at all. Successful businesses mean nothing to me as an American citizen or a human being. Hell, I want a good chunk of the Fortune 500 companies to be split up.
And that "countervailing force" also happened to enable businesses to force more power into the hands of international conglomerates, away from workers, and away from environmental protections. China is just a scapegoat to allow for that bullshit
Assuming the study is valid, the real question is whether it's unhealthy to be a night owl, or that it's unhealthy to be a night owl with the structure of our society. Lefties live shorter lives too, not because there's anything inherently wrong with being a lefty, but because society is built around right-handed people.
Clinton didn't lose because of Russian intervention. Clinton lost because she was a shitty candidate who made bad decision after bad decision. Those are the facts that "speak for themselves."

Back in my day, we called them the mafia.
or, rich people could pay into the system, which would make it solvent again.

Yeah, they need purpose. Work may or may not be a means of finding purpose, but needing to work to survive isn't advantageous in and of itself.

There's a much stronger argument for the War on Terror and the War on Drugs fitting those goals.

Given his obvious deep insecurity, I'd say he's abusing all kinds of substances.

People discussing whether or not Trump's goal as President is to make himself rich.
Because you live in an alternate universe? In the real world, Trump has a 53% disapproval rating.

Yeah, Obama signed on to it because his bosses wanted it. "Obama did it" is generally a BAD thing.

I never said that both parties didn't shit the bed on this election.
