False information is easier to disseminate. The truth is often complex and not what people want to hear. The lies are simple and benefit from confirmation bias.
That, and if your vetting is too prone to mistakes with severe consequences for the victim, or too intrusive, it will discourage people from coming to the US.
The Twitter ToS say you can't encourage other people to harm themselves. Saying you want to harm yourself is fine, although if someone flags it Twitter might intervene somehow such as calling local medical services.
My favourite thing is when you sit down on the shinkansen, check your bag and when you look up again it's already started moving so smoothly that you didn't even notice.
Hypersonic missiles don't use radar for targeting. They are programmed with fixed target coordinates, and most have some capability to be updated mid-flight. For moving targets like ships they rely on secondary systems like satellites and spotter aircraft, and several missiles are fired into the projected path.
At the kinds of speeds they travel any terminal guidance is pretty limited, not least by the effective range of radar and optical systems.
Additionally, social media is an unprecedented tool for propaganda and interference. Never before in human history has it been so cheap and easy to reach so many people with these messages. The risk is also historically low, as there is no need to actually enter the target country and hand out physical media or talk to people IRL. Those people working out of that St. Petersburg office are beyond our reach and when their fake identities are discovered they can just make new ones. No deportation, no arrest, seemingly impossible to blacklist.
It's true, other nations have always sought to influence our democracies ever since we created them. And we have always resisted, because we don't want to be act in their best interests instead of our own.
Social media and fake news on the internet is a new avenue for nations to influence us. They present a different challenge. Social media allows their messages to spread quickly and rapidly gain an air of respectability as people repost them as their own. Fake news sites on the internet look almost identical to the real ones, and the extremely low cost of creating them allows entire networks of fake news sites to be built that lend themselves credibility in the form of multiple, supposedly unconnected sources saying the same thing.
As such, we have an interest in understanding how this attack works and finding ways to reduce its effectiveness.
The current situation is that apologies have been issued, but for a variety of reasons there are demands for more. It could certainly be argued that there is a case for further apology and compensation for some groups, but the situation has become so politically charged now that it's almost impossible to resolve.
In addition, there is a feeling in Japan that since almost everyone involved in the war is dead now and the younger people who are three or four generations removed can't be burdened with apologising for those crimes any further. The main argument against this is that Japan has not done as much as Germany to teach children about what happened.
At this point I think the policy is to just wait another 20 years for the issue to go away by itself.
There has been a shift in culture to prevent this kind of accident happening again. The issue is not so much the pressure to be on time, as the punishment for being late too often. Drivers had to undergo humiliating re-training and other sanctions.
The rail company made a conscious decision to change its culture. Got rid of the re-training for lateness, and instead introduced a system where the cause of the delay would be identified without laying blame. The timetable system was also adjusted to be more flexible when delays were unavoidable.
I have to say that the food on Japanese airlines is substantially better than the British ones, but that could just be because British food is awful and for some reason British Airways insist on inflicting it on you.
So your argument is that because communist groups were involved in the Antifa movement during the rise of Nazism, that means Antifa today, nearly 100 years later, are also communists. After presenting a photo without context or explanation and a long Wikipedia article, suggest looking at indymedia but don't bother linking to the proclamation, link to a German site which I translated and doesn't say anything about them being communists, and finish off with a link to the openly anti-communist Epoch Times.
Interesting, so you oppose Mashiki's desire to force private companies to speak on people's behalf. Furthermore it's been tried in the past and was seen as a bad thing. I'll remember to bring up the Fairness Doctrine next time he posts that comic.
My backyard has not been forced to become a public speakers corner.
In People v. DiGuida, the final judgement of the supreme court was that the grocery store didn't have any obligation to let him use it to speak or circulate his petition:
"For the reasons set out above, we hold that Dominick's use of the criminal trespass to land statute to exclude defendant from its property did not violate defendant's rights under the free speech or the free and equal elections provisions of the *349 Illinois Constitution."
Do you have one, just one, SPECIFIC example of a commercial space that was forced to become a public speaker's corner? Don't tell me to google something, give me a specific name.
Apparently there's protectionism, free trade, and fair trade. I've been talking to the unions, so I've had to learn about fair trade.
True, but let's look at those options.
Free trade. This can mean one of two things. You can have a situation like the EU, where the member states agree to have equivalent rules and regulations so that one doesn't have a big advantage over the others. The US kinda has it but states have more freedom to set taxes to any level they want, which results in citizens getting screwed as they compete for business with subsidies and tax holidays.
Fair trade is just globalisation or protectionism again, depending on what you deem fair. Either you have barriers because people in China work for a fraction of what Americans so (protectionism), or you accept that there is an imbalance and work with it like Japan and most of Europe do (globalisation).
Of course there are degrees, for example Europe does have some tariffs and barriers in place but generally the policy is to have developing countries either join the EU or have a relatively liberal trade agreement in the expectation that as they develop they will want to buy high quality European goods.
Either way your 1950s style manufacturing jobs are not coming back, evolution is the only option.
Because unlike you, I don't believe speech should be censored. I believe that no matter how abhorrent their views are, they should speak them and people should be allowed to see exactly how bad those views are. I believe that the line for free speech stops when there's an actionable threat, not before.
I believe that too. I've told you that fore, but you still keep on telling me I don't.
Where we differ is that you want Twitter to broadcast that speech, where as I support their right to not publish on your behalf.
antifa(that's actual communists FYI)
Citation needed on that one. If I were being unkind I'd suggest you are only trying to pretend they are communists because communism gives you a whataboutism for how bad the Nazis were.

Pricing I've seen is $200k base price for the Roadster, with a $50k reservation fee. The founder edition is $250k.
Not cheap but not expensive for a car with that kind of performance.
I hear they sell cars, that sounds like a revenue stream.
That, and if your vetting is too prone to mistakes with severe consequences for the victim, or too intrusive, it will discourage people from coming to the US.
Who said anything about censoring cries for help?
The Twitter ToS say you can't encourage other people to harm themselves. Saying you want to harm yourself is fine, although if someone flags it Twitter might intervene somehow such as calling local medical services.
It's a moral responsibility. Human beings sometimes feel those.
My favourite thing is when you sit down on the shinkansen, check your bag and when you look up again it's already started moving so smoothly that you didn't even notice.

Whataboutism. Just because your own government is abusive doesn't mean you should be any less concerned about external influence.
Additionally, social media is an unprecedented tool for propaganda and interference. Never before in human history has it been so cheap and easy to reach so many people with these messages.

You are missing the point.

Any kind of news report?
FWIW Nazis calling themselves Antifa are full of shit. The real Antifa is explicitly against Nazis, it's what it was founded to oppose.
That's why we mostly eat Indian food.
I have to say that the food on Japanese airlines is substantially better than the British ones, but that could just be because British food is awful and for some reason British Airways insist on inflicting it on you.
I watched a documentary about the drivers. They calculate there speed to make up for a single second of delay.
Let's see some evidence of Antifa openly calling for genocide.
So your argument is that because communist groups were involved in the Antifa movement during the rise of Nazism, that means Antifa today, nearly 100 years later, are also communists. After presenting a photo without context or explanation and a long Wikipedia article, suggest looking at indymedia but don't bother linking to the proclamation, link to a German site which I translated and doesn't say anything about them being communists, and finish off with a link to the openly anti-communist Epoch Times.
Another classic Mashiki conspiracy theory.
Not merely saying it, but using it when referring to someone or some group of people.
Interesting, so you oppose Mashiki's desire to force private companies to speak on people's behalf. Furthermore it's been tried in the past and was seen as a bad thing. I'll remember to bring up the Fairness Doctrine next time he posts that comic.

Since when does high demand for anything result in lower prices?
When supply is not limited. That's why mass production makes thing cheaper. Education is not a finite resource.

Did you miss the case where police were told not to have the union jack on their uniform because "it might upset some communities" as well?
No, but maybe you did... https://www.theguardian.com/po...
