Whether other potential candidates have better policies here is a matter of subjective opinion. I wouldn't support him because he's a manipulative arsehole, and his idea on immigration are horrible, but nor am I willing to join a "hur hur, aren't Republicans dumb" circlejerk.
Raise the minimum income tax level, better care for veterans, and a more aggressive negotiating position with China are, whether you agree with them or not, appropriate, feasible, and constitutional.
Don't get me wrong here. I think he's a right wing loon, but if your sources are left wing media sources, they'll only report on the more insane of his policies. If your sources are the more rabid right wing ones, they'll do the same, but because they think they're good ideas.
"Never before in our history have enemies outside the United States been able to propagate genuinely dangerous ideas on American territory in such an effective wayâ"and by this I mean ideas that lead directly to terrorist attacks that kill people. The novelty of this threat calls for new thinking about limits on freedom of speech.
He could equally be talking about radio transmission, the ability to print and distribute pamphlets, or satellite TV broadcast.
I always find it a bit disturbing when legal theorists talk about ways to work around the constitution, seeing it as an impediment rather than a set of ideals. Amend it, by all means. If you genuinely think that freedom of speech is an outdated concept it would be hypocritical of me not to support your right to say so.
Is that really the case? I know the US doesn't have as good consumer protection laws as other countries, but surely if they're operating in your state, state contract law should apply.
Seems odd in this case though. It's a decent truck with good resale value in the US. Turkey is near Eastern Europe, and while Europeans are not nearly as fond of pickups as Americans, they have their uses. There must be plenty available. And people drive to neighbouring countries all the time, so you can just ignore any of the customs stuff, claiming you're just driving through. Even if you're bribing Turkish customs, it seems like a lot more hassle.
Might be different. Lightbulbs are far less about the consumable after all. While the bulbs will eventually need replacing it's not as frequent as coffee capsules need to be replaced.
Of course I say "might be". "Might not be" is equally likely but the business people obviously have their ow view.
One of the rules of contracts is that both parties must get something. Called "Consideration", in contract law. It doesn't strictly have to be of equal value (I can sell a gold plated car for $1 if I want) but both parties must get something.
So based on my complete absence of expertise, I'd guess the contract could be invalidated on the basis that the recipient didn't get anything of value. That's assuming Warner only licensed the song, of course. They might have licensed rights to a catalogue of songs of which only Happy Birthday is actually worth anything.
Shrug, congratulations media companies, you just lost to Netflix... AGAIN.
This is probably why Apple isn't interested. They figure broadcast TV is losing popularity, especially with their current tech-aware customer base. They can afford to say "no" to this.
It is something they have to be careful with. These places are unregulated. They are trading entirely on their reputation. It's not like you can file a complaint with the regulators if something goes wrong. Reputation matters. And if a lot of people say they had their accounts stolen, they're not going to have a business any more.
He lacks imagination, which seems a weird failing in a science fiction writer who has come up with some of the most imaginative books in the past decade. But it seems like this is something very personal to him.
Why does it break suspension of disbelief that a completely theoretical branch of fusion physics that most people aren't even aware of might have practical problems when it comes to implementation?
Does it also break suspension of disbelief when writers use Uranium fission rather than Thorium fission, despite Thorium's lower cost, greater abundance, and lower waste? Quite frankly, those idiots who wrote the history of late 20th century nuclear power knew nothing about nuclear power.
This reminds me of a comment I wrote in the 1790's.
In 2015, people will carry personal defence weapons that look approximately the same size and shape as a small flintlock pistol. They'll have space vessels, thinking machines, and automatons, but they'll still need to have holsters and bullets.
We don't know a thing about Aneutronic fusion reactors. What if it turns out that for some reason, Helium 3 is just easier? We don't have any such reactor! We have no idea what the actual engineering issues might be.
In reality we probably will find it easier to do Proton-Boron reactions. but for purposes of fiction this can be handwaved away!
Well, I did see the concept in a Gerry Anderson film (I think it was Doppelganger/Journey to the far side of the sun).
But a patent isn't always just the concept. It depends on how much detail there is. There's clearly going to be a lot of structural issues that need to be solved. If this patent addresses them then it's valid.
This generation seems to have a lot of network social media functionality and the like. For example, XBone has a "snap" feature that allows you to split screen the game and one of the other apps. I guess it's useful to be sure the app gets all the resources it wants without it and the game interfering with each other.

They're not going to though are they?
People can't be controlled in this way unless we fanatically enforce the speed limits.
I did simply them from the Trump For President website. There are details of the actual policy there.
That wasn't what the question was about.
Does the proposal make sense? Yes.
is it appropriate? Yes.
Is it feasible? Yes.
Is it constitutional? Yes.

He's not an authoritarian though. He's an academic with essentially no power, and nothing to gain from banning certain websites.
I think he genuinely believes this to be a good idea.

Not hard and fast rules.
Coughs, sores and indigestion are warning signs of cancer. Doesn't mean you need a course of chemotherapy if you see these symptoms.
And Natalie Portman was naked and petrified!

In that case, why do I care?

Problems are easy. Solutions are a lot harder.
If you depend on a single type of crop, it's very hard to diversify.

If they're thieves then there's a legal system to deal with them.
The stocks tend to be frowned upon as a punishment these days.
Amazon's Kindles are Android devices without the google stuff. A lot of apps are available on Amazon's store. Microsoft should be able to do the same.
Or Thunderbird 2 for that matter. Of course the model makers didn't need to produce something that would actually fly.

I'm assuming PS4 has something similar.
You don't need to lug several times your payload's weight into orbit as fuel.
The downward trip can actually generate electricity.
Also, the fuel can be whatever you want. A lot of these fuels are a lot cheaper than disposable tanks of rocket fuel.
