Illegal immigrants — the overwhelmingly vast majority of them from South America — have killed far more Americans over the years, than the 3000 killed on the day of 9/11. By your logic — punishing the countries, whose expats have done us wrong — we should've overrun Mexico and proceeded further South by now.
There are those who disagree with the manner in which the US is currently doing it though.
That's not, how TFA puts it, however. Simply targeting immigrants (the crucial adjective "illegal" coyly omitted) is enough to make it unethical in these people's imagination.
These people are wrong, they should not be hired — much less glorified in media — and companies hiring them for any job paying above minimal wages should be boycotted.
Uber allows tipping — and there is no limit. Whoever feels the drivers are underpaid can pay them extra. No need to compel the rest of us to do the same, whether we agree with it or not. No one goes to work for Uber against their will, and they are all independent contractors — as, by the way, are the small-time taxi-medallion owners and leasers.
Unless, of course, this telling others what to do is how you get off — and the reason you went to work for the government...
Well, that's a relief... it is amazing, what insights can be gained from statistics, once you remove the shackles and the blinds imposed by the political correctness.
But I don't think it's necessary that climate models in and of themselves need to be falsifiable.
You can use whatever methods you wish, including prayer and rain-dancing. But if you wish to convince someone outside your cult, you need to be scientific. Especially, if you've dismissed critics as "anti-science" before.
The "peoplescube" straw man is that doing something about global warming requires that we destroy capitalism
You misread it. The piece — correctly — argues, that the motivation most of the climate-alarmists is not any genuine concern for the environment, but rather the desire to destroy capitalism. You are correct that such destruction is not necessary for a healthier planet. But that is not the goal... Had it been the goal, you would've been boycotting USSR and China, name-calling their leaders — the worst polluters — rather than your own.
As far as falsifiable predictions of climate science how about temperatures continue to rise, ice continues to melt, sea level continues to rise, the oceans continue to acidify?
You know the rules. Pulling the ever-changing talking points out of thin air is not going to do. You gotta list pairs of links: one element in each pair would be a link to a practical falsifiable prediction, the other — describing it coming to pass, within 20% of the predicted value(s), if the prediction itself was quantifiable.
We may not always get the predictions exactly right in the quantifiable sense
"Not always"... How about never? With the rules you afford yourself, I can prove that any odd number is a prime, for example... It would go like this: 3, 5, 7, 9 (uh-oh, something went wrong here, we need to reassess), 11, 13 — that's enough! How many more experiments do you need to start doing something?!
Anyway, any replies not containing the above-described list of pairs of links will be returned unopened.
It was hard; the market for premium consumer mail apps is not big enough, and it faces stiff competition from high-quality free apps from Google, Microsoft, and Apple
Silly, silly laissez faire businessman... The way to solve this — in an increasingly Fascist country — is to lobby the government. Tell them, the competitors aren't sufficiently guarding the customers' privacy and aren't sufficiently cooperative with law enforcement. Also, that their computers are damaging the environment and they aren't buying enough credits to offset that.
Ask them to pass some laws to a) regulate the industry; b) fine the noncompliant for the noncompliance; and c) subsidize the compliant with taxpayers' funds. Voila — Profit!!
She — with the name Sophie it is safe to assume sex — admits, that it is not falsifiable — ergo, not science.
The People's Cube satirized your kind by proposing, you use the Pascal's Wager argument. And, only a few years later, you did! It is hysterical, and very real...
Anyway, it has been some years now, I think, since I first asked you to enumerate a few falsifiable predictions made by "Climate Science", that did not get falsified in due time. Until you come up with such a list, you should not, to borrow a phrase from a certain Nobel Peace Prize laureate, be doing a lot of talking...
it's in such slow motion compared to human time scales that you may not recognize that you've passed the tipping point
Yeah. So slow, there may be no motion at all... We've been through this, riverat1, you know, what you need to do to prove, your discipline is an actual science (contrary to what some of its own practitioners admit), rather than a religion as some of the cheering disciples accept, and the critics mock.
What we do in the next 10-20 years will determine whether our planet remains hospitable to human life or slides down an irreversible path
We've had 5-10 years left to save the planet for the last 30 years or so... The numbers may change, but the — unsubstantiated — message is always the same...
That's great until you're on a plane or in a rural area with poor to non-existent Internet access
If I don't have Internet-access, I can't do my work anyway. Can't watch the server-logs without the Internet, for example, can I?
you can have a laptop with full local computing power
There is no laptop in existence, that can do the sort of computations I'm currently working on (hint: it takes seven 24-core servers 4 hours to do it.)
is silly.
I'm sure, there are things fitting the niche — too demanding for a phone, but can be done by a decent laptop — and if such are your typical tasks, by all means, keep using a laptop. Yet, that niche is narrow, and you should not be dismissing everyone outside it as "silly". Makes you look, well, silly...
People are using their phones increasingly more like a low-end laptop
I certainly do. With Termius app, I can ssh into anything straight from the phone. A Bluetooth keyboard can, optionally, improve the typing speed (except with vi — pressing Esc is misinterpreted by the iPhone). No need for a laptop any more...
The goal of a higher education is not to teach you to do something, but to teach you to learn how to do it — and other things like it.
Had the instructors taught the immediately-practical things, as happens in vocation schools, apparently, we'd have to go back for a retraining for each new language or programming paradigm. Using the "academic" languages encourages (and coerces!) learning of multiple things...
The quaint age of this expression is betrayed by the inflation charts...
staged to make Maduro into a sympathetic figure
And to allow him to properly crack down on what's left of the opposition...
and steal all the rest of the money
This implies, there is some money left to be stolen. Unfortunately, Socialism is so bad, even the most equal comrades are still fairly poor compared to those suffering under KKKapitalism.
Until you, English-speakers, figure out your own rules for commas, I'm going to stick to the rules of Ukrainian, thank you very much. In particular, denoting a subordinate clause with comma(s) is a must...
Your rant has nothing relevant to the GP's question: why is the Court, rather than Congress, asked to decide on whether FCC exceeded its authority before.

Right... Because it is unethical for America — uniquely among the world's nations — to fight its enemies and enforce its borders.

Did the find a flaw in the Transmission Control Protocol? Or in the Linux implementation of same? In the latter case, that's a Linux bug, not TCP.

When claiming anything having been "debunked", you absolutely must include a link to the debunking...
And to the retraction.
Neah, that'd require the knowledge of history these people do not typically possess.
Took them a while. The problem's been known for years — even in peaceful Finland... And Russians have used malware to get location-data to target Ukrainian forces. And, of course, the NATO.
Whenever someone denounces "greed" of corporations, you know he has a Che Guevara T-shirt and votes for Sanders.

The only solution is to nationalize the greedy KKKorporation$, is not it, kamrade?
Make them work for the people, instead of making the rich richer, right?
