No, the models SUGGESTED they existed. Actual proof of the existence of exoplanets was only confirmed relatively recently, and most have been discovered after 2004. . (1988 was the first confirmation, the "official" list is at the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia)
Exactly. It's political theater. The classic case of which was the "Parent's Music Resource Council", where Tipper Gore got then-Senator Al Gore to hold a hearing on lyrics in top-40 songs. Testifying were Frank Zappa, John Denver, and Dee Snider. Fairly epic hearing, as I recall, and I also seem to recall a movie was made of it. . .
A single network with the largest single percentage of individual networks, but (and objective numbers are hard to find here), but all other sources are between 2 and 3 times the viewers of the Fox Network.
Newspapers and magazines, there does not appear to be an equivalent of Fox News.
And online, it doesn't matter, as people tend to self-segregate by politics for news sites.

Exactly. If a child is not at Age of Consent (which varies) or, more importantly, legal Adult status, and thus able to enter contract and sign any official document, how can permission be granted legally before that time ? Does not Parental Rights imply the granting of permissions (especially if the parent is the one who took and posted the photos. . . )
Well, considering the long-standing figher tradition of painting shark teeth and eyes on the nose of a fighter plane. . . it's going to all depend on whether the laser is on the nose or not.
If under the wing, it will be "sharks with fricking lasers under their fins". . . .
Normally, I'd say, yes, punish those responsible for lax security.
But, I'm a security geek. I can't count the times where security measures proposed got shot down by manglement, even the ones that were near-zero cost. Or when senior managers and corporate officers demanded admin/root access.
Because, the people who implemented will get punished, while the people who tied their hands will walk unharmed (and likely get bonuses. . . )
. . . is not how they affixed the cameras to the rocket and RV.
What *I* would like to know is how they protected the cameras. Because the drag and heating effects of a ~3800 mph slipstream are going to be noticeable. After all, the leading edges of SR-71s expand substantially, and have been reported to glow from air-friction induced heating. ..and a Blackbird tops out at 2200 mph.
HOW we came to the conclusion that it was a question of "when", as opposed to "if", was due to frequent intelligence briefings on the current situation at the time.
It didn't take a rocket scientist to see increasing numbers of indicators over time, and to extrapolate the trend.
As to what those indicators were: sorry, but I swore an oath AND signed a security agreement. Much of the data may be less sensitive now, but I prefer not to a chance and possibly get to sample the reportedly-fine pepper steak at Leavenworth anytime soon. . .
Again, guessing, but if the camera on a device can locate where the gaze is focused, and deltas in heart-rate and respiration are noted by the wearable, you'd have a metric on "impact" of a given ad or site.
Yeah, I watched it first-hand in the mid-1980s, when I flew B-52s for a living.
We were firmly convinced that The Day We Get The Go Order was not an "if", but a "when".
In fact, in those days, they made SURE no crew had more than two bachelors on it. We noticed that, and assumed that they wanted the crews to want revenge for their incinerated wives and kids when the balloon finally went up. . . (and a crew at Carswell AFB, Texas, got in trouble for their "EWO to Rio" T-shirts, showing a flight of 3 B-52s on a path from Dallas to Rio de Janiero. . . )

No it doesn't. My Mother-in-Law is a one off, and at last check, came as standard equipment in a POS 1998 Eldorado. . .

Nah. We just need their hearts to. . . . Full Stop.

By "subsidies", you apparently mean normal business expense deductions that ALL businesses get.
I propose a simple metric: cost per megawatt-hour delivered to the grid, with no non-standard deductions and no outright subsidies.
Until we get a picture free of EVERYONE'S politics, and have some purely objective data to work with, we're talking apples and oranges here. . .

THOSE details would be far more interesting. . .
Actually, FDA regs on most medical devices generally require re-certification after a software update.
And re-certifications are expensive. So many companies simply don't update or patch until a new version of their plastic fantastic gear ships.
You would **think** that medical types would understand the value of prophylaxis against infection . .
No. An asshole has a USE. . .
It was an OK book. Stephen King has written better. . .

Mind you, that makes sufficient energy input for complex life-forms unlikely. . .
And thus, Donald Trump will ignore it as "low-energy" (grin)
Any competent Geologist could show you that we're STILL in an Ice Age, and merely between Continental Glacial Advances.

I rather suspect that there will be a market for metadata evasion products, just like there are adware blockers now. . .
