The point is that we have a relatively small sample of the conditions under which life can arise. Even in the extremes on Earth, we have found life. Often, it is less complex than life in what we consider to less extreme environments, but we also have to consider that 'extreme' is relative. We can point to factors that would make it inhospitable for most complex life on Earth. However, it's quite possible that Earth has equally strong factors against it that would make the majority of sentient species surprised that Earth can support life. Cursory research says that the biosphere is a mere 0.0007% of the Earth's volume, and there may be a set of conditions that can support some kind of advanced life in a different minuscule percentage of this planet's volume.
Practically speaking, she was appointed as senator more than elected. However, selected officials are still acting as government, not private citizens.
And that should probably be handled by the safety features of the car itself. If you don't have to be able to operate it, that could allow for a lot of fundamental improvements that make the occupant safe even in the case of accident. That makes the math a hell of a lot simpler. Plus, these would almost certainly be electric cars, which open up many other operational advantages.
Trump being ridiculously abusive is the entire point. His policies are so insane that Congress will likely take back all the power that they've given the President, especially the PATRIOT Act and such.
You can have a consistent policy towards both. When employers try to use immigrants to undermine labor/unions, the employers should be punished. The workers are generally just trying to find a better life.
One disappointing thing about the last leak is that it basically had no US connections. A leak that included US clients could probably bring down Clinton, Trump, and half of Congress.
No, you missed the parable of the broken window. The point of work is that we get to have nice things and nice services. If we can have those things without having to work, that's a good thing.
The problem probably isn't about the total amount of water, but rather, the distribution of it. Areas that have shortages of water would have more severe shortages.
As for why it would be a net bad thing, it would be that the changes happen faster than evolution can keep up. That might also include humans, or a large portion of our population.
By making encryption more widespread, Snowden has done more for national security than the NSA has in the same time. Why don't we just give him Clapper's job?
So, what positive things do you have to say about Clinton? I'm not sure if I can really think of any, other than her having held a number of powerful positions.
Aren't they basically just a Republican "watchdog?" The Clintons are monsters, but I think they mostly go with tabloid garbage while ignoring the real corruption.
People talk about congressional salaries all the time, and while they may seem pretty nice to us peons, they are nominal in the context of campaign finance and the revolving door. The Clinton's made over $150 million in speaking fees. A Senator's salary is about $176,000.
You're leaving out the work of the distribution. In a stable distribution, the distro only upgrades for bugfixes and security updates. If the assumed behavior is a bug, then P1 has a bug for depending on a flaw. If it's merely a deprecated feature, then exclude the changes that make it stop working. At some point in time, there was hopefully some mail between the distro and the developers of P1 and P2 so the issue gets resolved upstream. Distros are generally for users, not developers.
I think it's more likely about a good distraction. Get that conversation riled up to draw attention away from anything scandalous that would prevent her from getting elected.
And the government needs to move its revenue collection from theft via civil forfeiture and petty fines, which are actually backed by force, and shift back to taxation of corporations and the wealthy. Don't worry, nobody is going to be holding Warren Buffet at gunpoint.

I think a "convention of trolls" might be appropriate.
America has fair use, and it certainly doesn't have a strong music and film industry...

The first amendment exists to protect the people from the government. Elected officials are acting as the government, not the people.

Rinderpest also doesn't infect humans, and most humans have little to no exposure to cattle, so it's not an equal comparison of the risks involved.
Seems like that might be useful for having sharks with fricken laser beams attached to their heads.

They can stop being wasted on politicians and start being used on workers.

Why is automation "undesirable"? Automation means that people don't have to work, and thus have more time to do something else.
That doesn't mean the government can't be such overreaching garbage that Weev looks good by comparison.
Except for the fact that the tradition itself involves ignoring inconvenient facts from the past.
And the government needs to move its revenue collection from theft via civil forfeiture and petty fines, which are actually backed by force, and shift back to taxation of corporations and the wealthy. Don't worry, nobody is going to be holding Warren Buffet at gunpoint.
The exact amount is up for debate, but it's pretty clear that it's in probably close to what they were paying in the pre-Reagan era.
