But for that $14B we actually got toilet paper. We've spent tens of billions of dollars on fusion research over the past 30 years- and all we have to show for it is the promise that if we spend tens of billions more that we might be able make a major breakthrough sometime in the next 10 years.
Want a job so you can pay your expenses? Better sign over your right to intellectual properties you create.
You seriously have a problem with that? You think an employer should pay the overhead of your salary, your health care, your office space, and your computer, and then not get the resulting work created?
If not, it flush toilets require a massive amount of infrastructure spending that is not available in lots of places. Cell service can be rolled out to a large number of people much more easily. This if often the case in India and southeast Asia. Last time I checked, there were minimal Negros in that part of the world.
The government doesn't really care, since the fine was against the corporation. But when you are involved in losing your employer 2 billion dollars due to a fine, you tend to get fired.
And I can't even imagine how harsh would be the punishment for those who get caught laundering money for terrorists. Let's say if a big bank (i.e. HSBC, or Santander) got caught, certainly hundreds of people would go to jail, right?
I feel so safe with all these laws protecting us.
I'm so sick of seeing the HSBC case referenced by people who have no clue about the actual case. Nobody at the bank had any involvement in "laundering money for terrorists". Other people laundered money using HSBC's accounts. The HSBC employees did not follow regulatory reporting rules that might have revealed the laundering. So like any regulatory violation, they were slapped with a massive fine. It would have been ridiculous to charge anyone with a crime.
If the night security guard at a bank falls asleep, and someone robs the bank without him noticing- you wouldn't charge the security guard with bank robbery.

I don't think any materials for the parachute or the shroud lines could handle the jolt of when it first opens at those speeds.
10 years for the breakthrough, another 10 years for commercial production.

The new cool trend among idiots is to compare random things to slavery.
And individual can't buy a flush toilet. An individual can buy a phone.
I assume you're trolling.

Yes, it's all a big shadowy conspiracy for no reason.

Lots of people without indoor toilets now have mobile phones.
The Shuttle program was ended because the shuttles were no longer safe to fly. They are not coming back.
Why were those old thermometers always wrong in the negative direction?
The whole point is that I'm *not* talking about the next thousand years. I'm talking about this year, the past 10, and the next 10.
First off, we've had digital thermometers for decades. And why are analog thermometers always wrong in the negative direction?
Holy shit. This site is full of idiots.

Do you notice any trend or commonality among those data points?
Actually, the models have been too conservative. Things are significantly worse than predicted.
But you're clearly not a "facts oriented" kind of person.
We're already seeing large scale changes. The crisis *is* actually occurring.
You can't patent things invented from government research money. The whole point is that other people *can* build on your discoveries.
Holy shit this site is full of retards.
Every analyst knows how and why stocks drop 3% after good news. You don't.
If you have absolutely no idea how the stock market works, don't post about the stock market.
Don't project your feelings onto everyone. I drove to work in an electric car powered by the Hoover Dam.
