No, but if you tell people that the Omega 3 Fatty acids in Walnuts has benefits for heart disease (Provably), you would be turning walnuts into drugs, and only the FDA can declare something a drug. And Telling people that Vitamin C will cure scurvy is the same thing. You need a prescription for vitamin C in order to cure scurvy, eating a lime (where the term Limey comes from) is something only a doctor can do.
The problem with the Media companies is that they have a long string of news that they tried to bury, only to have small blogs, rags, and "fake news" sites actually have the real goods.
The reason they are going after WikiLeaks isn't because of hacking, or classified or whatever information, it is because WikiLeaks basically blew the lid off the collusion to elect Hillary, and got Trump elected instead. Both Rinos and Democrats hate Trump, and want him destroyed, which is why they are shooting the messenger, to warn all the othttps://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=10533085&cid=54298609#her people doing actual journalism (which is what I call WikiLeaks).
It isn't a bubble. it is the full extent of the Reality Distortion Field. This is why people in Bay Area have a very distorted view of the rest of the country, you know, people in "fly over country" who are nothing but rubes and hicks. They won't move, because they can't fathom living on 75K a year, when they are virtually poor making $150K. They think 4000-5000 mo House Payments is "normal".
I would suggest to you, that if a game gives an advantage to players with better ping times, it sucks. I understand that yes, ping times do matter, and responsiveness does matter. Don't play if you don't like the conditions.
Real Journalism is dead. Those things you speak of died in the age of headline news and twitter posts of simplistic nature where viral is the new meme.
Must report something before anyone else, who cares if it is accurate or not. Publish or perish. This is the world we live in.
The fact that Hillary and crew were decidedly evil, caught via "hacked" information, that led to her loss isn't news, the "RUSSIANS" are the news. It doesn't matter how evil the bitch is, "RUSSIA" hacked the elections!!!!! People found out how evil she was, and voted for the "lessor" of two evils, and that doesn't matter "RUSSIANS" hacked the elections.
Russia hacking the DNC and Hillary campaigns (no real proof or evidence ever presented, only Dark Shadow Government agencies saying so) is the news!
This is how "fake news" is generated. Alternative facts parroted until they are more important than the actual real news.... Hillary and DNC actually conspired with the News Media to toss Bernie under a bus and rig an election. BUT RUSSIA HACKED THE ELECTIONS!!!
Your claim requires a factory job that could comfortably support a middle-class single-income household is the same as a low-wage service sector job that can not do so even with a dual-income household.
1st one required people show up, and work the job, even when they shouldn't have, verses the latter which can't be filled today, because the average idiot can't figure change out in the drawer or pour a latte without fucking it up somehow.
Because the latte maker isn't going to take one of the millions of unfilled blue-collar jobs that require something more than metro-sexual with hair gel problems. You want to fix the problem? Stop promoting "college" as the "only" way to better incomes. Start with promoting trade schools that teach people to do jobs that are actually needed, rather than the "Snowflake Crybaby" degree from university.
It doesn't matter what the _______ is, there will be a vast number of people who claim they cannot work because of some debilitating problem (incurable hangnails, allergic to WiFi, because the deity forbids working every other tuesday, every third weds and on full or new moons)
Why should jay have to work 60-80+ hours a week doing the work of 3 people for the pay of 1?
Why should you be taking hours Jay needs away, to give to people who won't work nearly as hard as Jay? Who says your view is best for Jay or even the three other people supposedly gaining a job? Have you never worked in a job where someone was paid to fill a position no longer needed (see Oregon Gas Pumpers)? If it wasn't for a state law, there would be no gas pump jockeys AND people would pay less for gas.
Make work jobs don't provide anything valuable to society, The solution isn't more government regulation and market manipulation, it is less. Otherwise, we're slowly moving to "centralized economic management" which was tried and failed in Soviet Union (and others).
Yeah, the feel good ideas of the socialist left have all be tried, and failed. Why do we keep trying? We're insane!
Taxes are always regressive. The rich can avoid them, move to where they are lowest. The Poor and middle class pay them, because they can't avoid them.
Poverty doesn't cause crime. Lack of morals causes crime. There are all sorts of poor people who don't steal, and all kinds of rich people who do.
That being said, the greatest contributor to poverty is removing peoples ability to produce goods and services because of artificial rules and regulations. The number one cause of these issues, is government creating artificial barriers to entry in the name of "safety" and "security".
You want to start a business? Can't because you lack the funding to buy the $150 business license. Want to sell home made foods stuffs (lemonade stands) ? Can't Because you didn't get the proper permits and health and safety inspections, and that business license and the taxes and fees......
BUT if you happen to have a job, you're taxed and regulated to the point of wanting to quit, because the government has all sorts of programs to help you out, often with "no questions asked".
This is why socialism is always doomed to failure. Eventually, you run out of other people's money. I know, this time it will work, because you've worked out all the bugs. Yawn
They don't address different things. A trip from SF to LA on a plane and hyperloop are the same thing, except with Hyperloop it would be faster and likely to be cheaper.
The problem with flying cars, is that they will not be able to compete with Hyperloop. The idea of 700 MPH (1125 KmPH) travel is something that current jet technology can't really do, short of reviving Concorde. While Hyperloop is theoretical at this point, so are affordable flying cars, but I see hyperloop being mainstream within 10 years if everything pans out. Combined with self driving cars, Hyperloop is the future of transportation. But only because someone was crazy enough to think it up.
That is the real disruption technology, that will only be supplanted by Beam me up Scotty style transporters.
My phone as 6GB Ram. It rarely uses more than 4, occasionally 5. But phones are funny, they prelaunch apps you use, until most of the RAM is used. Because it is less battery bringing app to the foreground, than launching it from storage. I suspect that if you had more RAM, your RAM usage would go up.
Hillary couldn't beat a junior senator with almost no voting record, and she couldn't beat Trump. But that is all the Russians fault. The Left needs to keep telling themselves that it was the Russians to make themselves feel better about their loss to Trump.
US secret services know more about this than has been revealed
You trust the same secret services that lied to us about spying on Americans... repeatedly? If you believe anything they say, you're the idiot. Until someone OTHER than Secret Services (and gets their info from them) says so, I won't believe anything they say. Because they have already lied, under oath, about spying on Americans. And this appears to be another case of that, except that nobody really cares about our Government spying on us, Soviet KGB style... on steroids.
The political statists (both D and R) are flat out ignoring the repeated claims that our government is who hacked the election, literally, and figuratively, and everything in between.
And as for the Russians, their "hacking" of the DNC, Hillary Campaign and various other people related to HRC, if anything, is proof that the Email server scandal is probably worse than what we believe. You think that Hillary could secure her top level secrets, when she couldn't secure her own campaign? AND people wanted her in office in spite of being completely idiotic with security? Not to mention Uranium One Deal, quid pro quo Bill Speaking fees to Russia, and deposits into the Clinton Foundation?
Politics makes people stupid. The truth is, it is more likely it was Seth Rich that leaked most of what WikiLeaks release. But he is dead, from mugging where nothing was taken. Yeah, that's the ticket!
TBH, I didn't vote for Trump either, but I would like to point out that a large part of the people who did vote for him, were sick and tired of being called "troglodyte haters". Hillary's "Basket of Deplorables" comment was just another symptom of the stupid elitism of the useful idiots of the left. And they are idiots, because they continue the same tired name calling, and repeating debunked claims. It is as if they are completely devoid of any other means of communication.
"Racist" "Nazi" "Russians" "Misogyny" "Cheeto"
Luckily for them, most of the Republicans are inept stooges who are more concerned with "tightening their grip, while systems slip through their fingers"
Many Americans are tired of the two existing parties and have completely given up politics as a solution to any real problem.
People lose the ability to recognize that they are on an extreme end of a spectrum
I know that my views are way outside of "mainstream" in a lot of cases. Extremism isn't really a problem until people use "emotionalism" and force their views on others. I am an Extreme Libertarian, but my views are that as one of an extreme, I should be able to win my argument using logic and reason, not vain emotionalism. I recognize that my views are on the extreme end of someone else's spectrum, it is what powers me to try to be effective at communicating WHY my views should be compelling.
So, what you're saying is rather than live in Leftist paradises like... Venezuela with the natural wealth that country has (big OIL), people will flee to the Tyranny and Oppression of the US?
Yeah, I am sure the "next time" socialism will get it right. And that wasn't a good version of Socialism...
"... the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina.. " - Sen Bernie Sanders
Socialism works, until it fails... miserably, often catastrophically.
So, yeah, I don't see the world working quite the way socialists in ivory towers (and VT Senate seats) view it.
There is a reason why people come to the US, because for all its flaws, it is still (more or less) free to make it on your own.

Regulations ultimately end in idiocy.

Exactly my point.
They don't address different things. A trip from SF to LA on a plane and hyperloop are the same thing, except with Hyperloop it would be faster and likely to be cheaper.
Or overhead. Or using current thoroughfares like freeways and highways.
This is why we can't have good things, because people like their old broken things, and hate change.
The problem with flying cars, is that they will not be able to compete with Hyperloop.

Nice qualification there. Southern European socialism has already failed miserable, so you qualify it. Nicely done.
Until the politicians ban, mandate or regulate the science, technology or business.
AGW/Climate Change, Patents and Restrictive laws (DMCA), Licensing and Regulations that do more harm than good.
Too late.

You want your site indexed, or not?
Because people like sites to be indexed, but then they get indexed, and that index shown by Google search results. Catch-22 if you ask me.
I could think of a solution to the problem, but it would require anti-indexing the results.
