When I read that title, I hear it inside my head as:
Despite the things you expect him to fuck up, he will probably do some beneficial things, too... with an eye towards beneficial is in the eye of the beholder.
...giving the electors the ability to prevent a moronic populist from ascending to the presidency is arguably precisely the entire point of the electoral college.
And, the election... didn't work then for a reason. The irrational sentiment must play out, and under Trump, it is less likely to prove chaotic.
I'm not happy with the President-elect, and that would be true if the election had tilted the other way;
but, when we have a say in electing a democratic leader, we respect the result and hope for the best.
If the system of selecting leaders was by heredity, military action, or any such other measure, their would be some poor leaders. I don't why we imagine democracy is that much different.
Sadly, the article is silent on some important details. If you dig into the IBM announcement, you find that they are putting the entire chain of custody records into a blockchain
There's nothing wrong with using tech to track the source, but at the source, if you dig into field practices, perhaps the problem could be addressed earlier.
Since we are hurtling down this slope to forfeit our privacy, primarily as a volunteer operation, which candidate would have slowed the roll?
It's too late this time, and there may exist issues more important to you and yours than an overreaching government... but students of history are probably correct that we should concern ourselves with this issue.
The people in power, regardless of their political affiliation, love their surveillance state. Who could we have elected that would have been concerned with limiting interference in the markets and people's private lives?
Akin to the drug deals that go down at an interstate truck stop when the _name your initials_ sells a kilo for under market value,
only to ensnare a rube who'd never be able to purchase at that level from legitimate drug dealers.
We can debate justifying the ethics of creating an environment that may have never existed for a drug arrest, but operating a pedobear porn site for a second crosses a line you cannot return from.
For the most part, they'd need to be registered in each precinct. Registering with a fake address is one of the easier forms of voting fraud to detect.
Yes. There is also little need to rig the precincts because the two-party system itself dominates the electoral landscape.
Here are your "choices", voters! Aren't you grateful you live in a free Republic?
If we take care that the spread of scientific progress continues in this incredible age of free information, the dilution of religious influence will continue.
If we revert suddenly to dark times and dictatorships, whether due to technology's backfiring, natural disaster, or a geopolitical shift, we will once again embrace the narcotic of superstition.

The fact that that Zuckerberg is Jewish makes the fact that he is being named in a German lawsuit about hate speech an holocaust denial particularly deliciously ironic.
Yes. Likewise, it is rather devilishly clever how fast freedom of speech can be called into question when it is renamed Hate. After all, hate is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone has the right to be offended. Too.
If everything were equal, he would object on principle that his daughter is a piece of arse; it is just that the approval of others is so important to him, he spouts off like that to folks who don't really matter, like billy bush.
He's not a sociopath so much as he's an attention whore.
In the same vein: With virtually all the catalogued knowledge of mankind at your fingertips, how can people still debate arguments from a belief set that exists in contrast to the evidence?
Turns out, it is easier than ever to scroll down until you find an opinion that reinforces what you already suspect.

Geeesh! Are there no wives tales left?

What would be the motivation? MZ has promised to give away 99% of his facefortune in his lifetime.
So, if it is not about the money, what drives him?

The 2006 E Coli spinach outbreak was directly a result of defecating on the production field.

a national DNA database could narrow it down to one field hand skipping a bathroom trip to the field potty to up his pick count.
It must still be allowed.
You can Leia your Han right here.
They can't take that away. Either. You will always have that moment.
“Thinking doesn't pay. Just makes you discontented with what you see around you.”
(tldr) G.W. Bush is alleged to have traveled with a Presidential porta-potty to protect the First Deuce.
Agreed.
This makes it increasingly important to elect people with character, training, and intellect...
At times, I miss the solace of youthful optimism and even naivete... when these qualities did not seem so rare.
I sure hope so.

Legal? plausibly
Defensible behavior? No. "Honey, what did you do at work today?"
"Ran a kiddie porn site for the greater good!"

Nah, I don't typically begin to question myself for minutes on end...

Christ, we are a mess.
Please name one right wing government that currently exists that works for the people. Just one.
For values of people:
Some number of people benefit from every government's activities, although it is not necessarily a majority of them.
He's not a sociopath so much as he's an attention whore.

This is like a study that purports fat steaks and good whiskey are the new secrets of longevity.
