Have you tried reading National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, which spells out the firs eight objectives of NASA? The first is "The expansion of human knowledge of phenomena in the atmosphere and space".
"in fact it's some corporate task force that abuses the old City situation to give themselves public powers."
While the specifics of the City of London Corporation may be unique, the fact that the city government is an incorporated legal body makes it just like any other chartered city government since chartered cities were invented.
"It builds stuff for consumers." Tell that to all my coworkers with MacBooks.
"And a sizable percentage of consumer laptop users regularly use HDMI." My desktop computer doesn't even have HDMI. It has 2 DisplayPort and one DVI. Of the tree monitors I have running at home and tow at work, the only one that even has an HDMI input is the weird knock-off Korean brand. The HPs and Dells have none.
" A sizable percentage regularly use their laptop to charge their cell phone while traveling." In a situation where you're already using the laptops for for a display you'd would necessarily have an output to plug in a phone charge because you'd need an outlet for the display somewhere.
On the one hand, there is a weakness in my argument in that all I am offering are anecdotes. On the other hand, you are not even offering that much.
There were eight original Foundation stories, but _Foundation_ only contains 5 stories: "The Psychohistorians", "The Encylopedists", "The Mayor"s, "The Traders", and "The Merchant Princes". "The Psychohistorians" was written specifically for the book.
There were eight Foundations stories published separately. The first four with one new story were combined for _Foundation_, the next two made up _Foundation and Empire_ and the remaining two made up _Second Foundation_. The other Foundation books were written as entire complete novels.
" I can't think of anybody I know who doesn't use HDMI with their laptops"
Perhaps that is because you do not personally know everyone with a laptop?
The Lenovo ThiknPad T540P I use for work doesn't have HDMI, only VGA and mini DisplayPort. At my desk I use a USB3 docking station to add 2 external monitors. My perosnal Macbook Air does not have HDMI, only mini DisplayPort. I use AirPlay to an AppleTV to display on my projector.
"A desktop should be powerful," All of my real work is done on compute servers in the data center that is climate controlled with redundant power and networking. I don't care how much local processing I have as long as I can be editing one deck of slides while I have one pivot table open without closing VNC and Remote Desktop.
"have large/multiple screens." I'm driving three displays when I plug in at work. My main constraints on going to four are desk space to set them down and strain on my neck from turning side to side.
The retailer is not inherently interested in either protecting or violating privacy, so the choice is purely one of net expenditure. You can either raise the costs of violation and hope that you can catch them or can lower the costs of protection.
Without government regulation, except for the government regulation. Even now the FCC has to issue things like the Data Roaming Order of 2011 to keep national roaming working.
The only greater risk to freedom than a government is unionized public employees. The question is: do you need to bust the unions before you can get more free on street parking?
"Either revenge porn is illegal because people, including this man, have a right to control their image or pictures are the sole property of those that created it and revenge porn is as legal as posting pictures of this jackass in the paper."
Irrelevant, since the complaint was not about revenge porn per se. The FTC went after him for "unfair business practices", i.e. he was using the images for extortion.
To what degree do the goals of criminal law include punishment, deterrence, and/or retribution? For punishment, the penalties should be proportional to actual harm, for deterrence the penalty should be proportional to the potential harm, for retribution the penalties for both should be high.
Your scenario only considers intentional use of the weapon. The the criminal does not have a gun that reduces the chance of an accidental discharge that otherwise has nothing to do with the crime committed.

"they should have the right to admit or bar any horse they want"
But they also have an obligation to adhere to the rules they already established in the contractual relations with its members and its charter.
The very question at hand is whether AQHA actually has a rule that forbids cloned horses, and thus it becomes a matter of contract law.

"You're still going to only get the alcohol of a standard drink whether you eat the starchy stuff straight up or put it in a quart of water."
Only if you consume the starchy stuff at a rate as slow as consuming the amount of water you are intended to put it in.
"It builds stuff for consumers."
Tell that to all my coworkers with MacBooks.

Clearly, the NSA has compromised the laws of physics.

EU rules mandate microUSB. If you made a phone with a Type C port, you will still need to ship an adapter to comply.
From the article: “We were told that we were not allowed to discuss anything that was not a true fact,”
Why does Florida hate gravity?

If obesity is purely a moral failing, then gut flora must be purely a moral failing too.

Roaming charges between regions of the same country in fact used to occur in the US.
The fact that Andorra and The Vatican are not EU member states.
"it seems to have a lot of the technical audio features of more expensive audio conferencing systems:"
Except audio conferencing.
This is why we can't photograph nice things.

PayPal is not a bank. Visa and MasterCard are not governments.
"when a record is tied for sixteen years that sorta mean it's NOT GOING UP."
The implication "If A then B" can be true when both A and B are false.
The record has not been tied for 16 years: it has not been exceed for 16 years, which only tells you that records are set by outliers, not trends.
The study excluded infants already known to be allergic.
So exposing your own kids in controlled circumstances could prevent them form developing allergies... or could kill them immediately.
