Why not? The mainstream media refuses to do so, but sure as hell runs every 11 year old "pussy" recording it can dig up.
Note: there is a difference between a presidential candidate saying he probably sexually assaulted a bunch of people and internal whining about the boss's kid. Yeah I know its all about relative expectations. So long as trump doesn't shit in his hand and throw it at a camera its a win for him....on second thought maybe thats a win too cause he's sticking it to the media.
The clinton scandals in this case being a clash of personalities in a large organization and a strategy to respond to an opponent's attack. Shocker. Lets have 9 congressional hearings and a blank check to investigate the spoiledness of Chelsea Clinton and how it relates to the well known establishment plot to steal our precious bodily fluids!
I'm talking about adapting to whats going on and not sticking our heads in the sand.
The world changes, deal with it or die off. Thats the message we get clear and strong from the fossil record.
Great! Lets start with figuring out how to deal with mass human migrations including the 40% or so (that's 3 Billion if you're counting) that live within a hundred miles of a coastline. Whats the latest word on immigration these days. I hear its a hot topic in all manner of elections and referendums and such. Everyone must be presenting their well reasoned plans on how to handle a shitload of immigrants right?
The world changes, deal with it or die off.
I agree that that will happen. Looking around it appears humans are not prone to "deal with it"
We sure could "let him leak" as you put it, but if he says "ZOMG BIG NEWS TUESDAY" where the big news turns out to be "big news coming soon for real this time but for now buy my book!" we justifiably get to place him in the probably full of shit category. In the meantime we get to debate the merits of hype men in the internet age.
Well duh, some people would view this as an unfavorable outcome and human brains have evolved so well to quickly recognize patterns and relationships that they often equate coincidence or even completely unrelated events as conspiracy and this is being debated...on the internet! Of course it "seems" suspicious.
Can we get some sense in here and agree that Assange is in his right to tell you to disregard obvious attempts to discredit wikileaks before an important leak??
You mean the leak of when the leak will be leaked?
In other news can we get some sense in here and agree that "look at all our stuff right now that we know contains a lot of malware cause eventually we'll let you know where the bad files are and, oh btw [conspiracy theory]" is a pretty bullshit response? How bout "the raw stuff is dangerous but we've verified all the stuff on XYZ part of our site has been cleared of malware"
This is a public place for pedestrians, bikes and market stalls.It's not even a road!
Sidewalks get plenty of sunlight too. There isn't nearly as much of it but its still just sitting there dispersing available solar power. No need to automatically label a project a failure if the dev phase of R&D shows something other than the original plan is the best application...
And before anyone says its simply because its closer to the sun, Mercury is even closer than Venus yet its colder.
Actually, it is* because Venus is closer to the sun!
*Closer than Earth and yes, it is not that simple. Climate science, astrophysics, astrobiology, planet science and several other fields predict that an increase in solar flux (Venus being closer to the sun than earth) will lead to a runaway greenhouse effect on a rocky planet in our solar system with an atmosphere, water and geologic activity. So if we moved earth into venus' orbit, it would look pretty much the same in a billion years or so. Neat!
: A really good nonprofit that is genuinely supporting a cause puts somewhere between 75% and 90% of its income into whatever cause it supports.
And the Clinton foundation rings up at...89%! Pretty damn good according to your scale. Maybe next time read more than a tweet to understand a story...or continue just reading the tweets and shuffle them neatly into your simplistic and pre-determined world view. Bunch of words coming everyone who's dug in, feel free to tune out...
Asked for backup, the CARLY for America super PAC noted that the Clinton Foundation’s latest IRS Form 990 shows total revenue of nearly $149 million in 2013, and total charitable grant disbursements of nearly $9 million (see page 10). That comes to roughly 6 percent of the budget going to grants. And besides those grants, the super PAC said, “there really isn’t anything that can be categorized as charitable.” That just isn’t so. The Clinton Foundation does most of its charitable work itself. Katherina Rosqueta, the founding executive director of the Center for High Impact Philanthropy at the University of Pennsylvania, described the Clinton Foundation as an “operating foundation.” “There is an important distinction between an operating foundation vs. a non-operating foundation,” Rosqueta told us via email. “An operating foundation implements programs so money it raises is not designed to be used exclusively for grant-making purposes. When most people hear ‘foundation’, they think exclusively of a grant-making entity. In either case, the key is to understand how well the foundation uses money — whether to implement programs or to grant out to nonprofits — [to achieve] the intended social impact (e.g., improving education, creating livelihoods, improving health, etc.).”
Trump is Bush with more bankruptcies, less military service, and no discernible interest in anything about the job other than power.
The most concerning similarity between the two is "don't know what the fuck they're doing". Cheney was hugely instrumental in getting congress to vote for the war in Iraq taking unprecedented actions for a VP and now we have another rep candidate who seems to be repeating the last thing an "advisor" told him. Do we really want breitbart pulling strings?
Source? Few caveats, no breitbart etc, no "voted for iraq" since that's not a trump differentiator. I'm not too deep in the weeds but I know that Clinton logged more miles as secretary of state than anyone else (meaning she probably also talked to more world leaders) and trump doesn't know the implications of using nuclear weapons and said we should bomb Iran if they "disrespect" us.
My worry isn't that trump will start a war, its that roger ailes or any other of the opportunists in his cabinet will (ala Dick Cheney circumventing Bush to start Iraq) since a trump presidency will basically be a power vacuum
we have people in far away cities, who don't have any real interest in the education of any student, making all sorts of Rules and Regulations
I don't buy that at all. I think the people taking and the people tasked with coming up with those regulations largely do want whats best for students. But due to a variety of factors (almost all political) too many compromises must be made along the way so every "education overhaul" falls back on whats easiest to quantify which is regurgitating facts on tests. Thus classrooms in the US look almost the same today as they did 100 years ago. Give those people in far away cities enough time, data, and infinite "political capital" and they'll probably come up with a general system that works much better for most all students.
Maybe your year is wrong but I didn't see a yugo in 88 or 90 either. Anyway, your post and the article are classic goal-post moving. When we had 70mi/charge electric cars we need 200 mi/charge. Now we need 500 mi/charge even so Americans drive an average of 30mi/day. And next year when the 500mi/charge car comes out you won't be satisfied without your 9000mi in 10 day car.
Nevermind that since 1990, Li batteries have doubled in power density and dropped in price by a factor of 6 every 10 years. Obviously that trend can't last forever but Li batteries are good enough for cars...TODAY!
Serious question, Why Africa? India and China both have higher populations than all of Africa as well as centralized governments and (I'm guessing) a higher overall per capita consumption rate which makes them lower hanging fruit. Not to mention the US where the per capita resource consumption more than makes up the difference in population. Population growth rates may be falling in all 3 countries but population is still rising.
I think the real solution is to transition away from an economic model that relies on younger generations supporting older ones. How? Robots of course!
I'm not sure that anybody actually still denies humankind has at least had an impact anymore,
Yeah instead they don't talk about it and set up shadow organizations to figure out new and convoluted ways to take data out of context to keep supplying fox and friends with sound bites to win the coal miner and oil rig worker vote.
Because there is more money to be lost now than ever before. Sure we might get short term heavy manufacturing boost but can you imagine the cost of rebuilding New York City today compared to Dresden 70 years ago? A lot of influential (rich) people all over the world really don't want that to happen.
Yeah, lets get all our rocket scientists to put their knowledge of fluid dynamics and high temperature chemistry to use curing cancer! It should only take them 15-30 years to build up the knowledge that all the doctors already working on cures already have. Random notes: NIH's budget is $32B/year. The National cancer institue's budget is $5B/year. NASA's is $18B/year. And to poke the nest, the military's budget is $580B/year. The US food infrastructure results in about 1/3 of all of our edible food being thrown away. The other half of Musk's major businesses are making clean energy mainstream.
All of your "real issues" are already coming first. Like you said we have 7 billion people. There are plenty to spare for working on rockets.
It doesn't have to benefit humanity to be widespread. After all, advertising exists.
The irony of posting that on an ad-supported website. On the other hand, maybe the point is valid since you posted it on/. and the jury is still out on the rest of the internet benefiting humanity...
In case your post was a rare instance of internet sincerity, how about the old school thermometer analogy? The amount of markings on the tube represent precision (direct relationship here). The stability of the fluid (thick tube with a lot of sloshing vs thin tube with minimal sloshing) represents the accuracy. Or measuring the height of a hyper dog vs a calm dog. If you use the same tape measure you'll have the same precision but the accuracy will be very different.
In summary accuracy: the difference between the measurement and the actual value. Precision: the available significant digits of the measuring tool.
You should tweet that to @verisign so they know what to do when the state sponsored DDoS to take down the internet comes. As you pointed out the answer is to stop the bad traffic which should fit nicely into 140 characters and thus, save the day!

tie Trump to the Ruskies.
I wonder where that idea came from? Perhaps someone who's last name rhymes with dump?
Why not? The mainstream media refuses to do so, but sure as hell runs every 11 year old "pussy" recording it can dig up.

Where's the outrage about Buzzfeed spending corporate money against Trump?
In the parent post, dumbass. Surely if you were not outraged at citizens united you are equally un-outraged at whatever buzzfeed is posting. Right?
Trump is Bush with more bankruptcies, less military service, and no discernible interest in anything about the job other than power.

"Hey brown person, show us papers and you'll have equal rights!"
Good gracious, Is your sig supposed to be ironic or something?
It is Clinton who is the warmonger...

In 1989, some friends of mine drove a 1989 Yugo in the 1 Lap of America rally, 9000 miles in 10 days of circumnavigating the USA.
No they didn't
