There is one other very important thing that a VPN protects you from: unwarranted surveillance.
Government agencies and in some countries ISP monitor and store everything. Law enforcement bypasses legal safeguards. A VPN doesn't make spying on you impossible, but it does stop it being so cheap and easy. It forces the proper channels and oversight to be used.
You are correct, because Marxism isn't specifically about there being a master race and wanting genocide. Sure, individual Marxists have done some terrible things, but just being a Marxist isn't itself a sign that they wish you harm.
The fake one claims to be "AntiFa Boston" but is actually someone in an office in Moscow. They post deliberately inflammatory stuff to engage the right wing.
There are no alternate facts. That's post-truth bullshit. Mistakes happen, but that doesn't mean you should just pick the alternate facts that suit your political leaning.
Gab probably can't open up too much because then the lawsuits would start to fly. Being indexed by search engines and widely linked has that effect if you don't moderate your content.
Gab isn't safe anyway. The reason Milo for banned from Twitter and many speaking events is that he sets mobs on people and outs them against their will.
Plenty of left leaning people get banned on Twitter too. Kevin Logan was banned last week for a relatively mild insult. Twitter is just bad at enforcing rules and is reliant on people reporting stuff.
The whole point of this change is to be proactive and enforce more consistently. I'm not sure it's a great idea but let's see how it works.
Oh wait, you were serious. You actually think that AntiFa are national socialists. The group whose sole shared goal is opposing the far right, are also the far right.
Lithium batteries don't really explode in the way a typical bomb does. They combust, the danger is that they can start a fire rather than cause damage with explosive force.
So it seems like the answer would be fire suppression in the cabin, rather than a ban, but I suppose if the fire starts in a bag in an overhead locker it might get out of hand before it can be contained manually.
In any case I doubt there will be a ban because everyone has a phone and many business passengers use laptops in the flight. It would be both impractical and too hard on the bottom line.
Presumably it has some kind of warning noise at low speed. The Nissan Leaf, for example, makes a whooshing sound from a speaker in the wheel well when it's going under 30 kph.
Last I heard the EU was considering making it mandatory for electric vehicles, and I imagine other countries will do likewise. Interestingly the UK model of the Leaf has a button to turn it off, as required by laws mainly intended for noisy ice cream vans and the like.
The harassment didnâ(TM)t stop after he reported it to a manager, and days after he made a second complaint, Ferro was punished, according to his account. An HR representative took away Ferroâ(TM)s badge, claiming that he had an âoeinjuryâ that prevented him from working and saying thereâ(TM)s âoeno place for handicapped people at Teslaâ, he alleged.
So maybe the HR person said that, it will probably be impossible to prove, but if he was fired for having an injury (presumably on the grounds that it prevented him from doing his job) they are still quite likely to be in serious trouble. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a copy of the lawsuit available anywhere.
We should find out if this has merit pretty quickly because if there is no evidence it will get dismissed.

If that it true then there should be some hard evidence, i.e. documentation of the reason he was fired. Tesla could be in real trouble if it turns out to be true.
Business is not a good place to be experimenting by being an early adopter.
Business is a great place for that. You have to keep innovating and improving to stay competitive. I've worked on countless projects where we had to invest new techniques from scratch, adopt the latest technology and be ready to pivot if something didn't work out. That's how we got into 1st place and delivered a product that no-one else can touch.
What is the alternative though? The birth rate among the non-immigrant population isn't very high, so you are headed towards serious problems as the population ages. You have plenty of space, those immigrants obviously want to improve their 5-in-a-house situation and seem willing to work towards that goal, creating new economic activity so it's not just "stealing your jobs".
There were several major studies done in the UK into the effect of immigration on wages. It concluded that there was only a very small effect for those in the lowest paid jobs, for everyone else it had no negative effect and likely created extra jobs for them.
The social contract between the older generations and the younger ones has been broken. It used to be that you struggled a bit at first, but there were genuine opportunities. You could own a home, raise a family, get your annual raises and make your pension contributions and be golden at the end of it. Your quality of life was going to be at least as good as your parent's.
That's all fucked now because there are too many old people, and not enough young people and immigrants. The older ones vote more often so politicians pander to them. The younger ones who can get out do, which just makes it worse for the rest as yet more of the tax base goes away.
I'm hopeful that this will self correct in about 20 years time, as gen X starts getting close to retirement and with luck decides to be more responsible than their parents about it. Unfortunately the boomers are going a lot of damage before they die off, and some of it will be very hard to reverse (e.g. Brexit).

Wait, you have definitive evidence that it was 3rd party trolls? You can refute the IRC logs and all the other evidence? Please share.
Also, fuck you. Seriously, this is a new low.
LOL still buthurt about that huh?
Robot sumo is much better. The robots are affordable and you program them yourself.
Strange, they don't seem scared of me.
It wouldn't be preemptive if it was Richard Spencer. He has already called for ethic cleansing through violence if necessary.

You understand that an organisation doesn't automatically adopt the political leanings of its leaders, right?
If I ever decide that genocide is okay or some group is sub-human, feel free to punch me.
By the way, your signature makes you look silly now. Your prediction was way off the mark.
The "wrong facts"? No. Just no.

Normally I wouldn't advocate violence, but then I think "what if someone had given Hitler a good slap?" and decide to make an exception for Nazis.
Do you have a link for the Barbara Boxer thing? The only thing I could find was a tweet by a fake Twitter account.

The Guardian has more detail:

I think it's more of a reaction to:
A) The hype surrounding the M3, and the hype surrounding MS/MX failures
B) The fact that they gave the MS really high marks initially but then had to reduce them due to reliability problems

I have a Nissan, a Japanese car, and the head unit doesn't support Japanese. Half the names in my phone's address book come up as squares.
