You're forgetting about that time the TSA found an overdue library book in Musk's carryon. That and a joint is two strikes. One speeding ticket in a red Tesla, and federosaurus mandatory sentencing kicks in.
I figured it had something to do with "budget-minded" A-holes in the anti-science anti-governance Obstructican Party?
When was the last time you saw a creationist filing suit against a reactor or lying down in front of an earthmover? The anti-science people who actually obstruct science are in the Obstructicrat Party.
The speculative value of BTC was based in its limited supply. Forking the coin doubles the mineable money supply, so the speculative value has to drop by half to adjust for this, besides kicking off a whole new race to waste energy mining the new coin.
Then we have people touting this or that better new coin. "Investing" in each of these jumps the money supply for each one, further reducing the scarcity value.
One thousand comets, and the Moon's low gravity still wouldn't hold the water. But import just one comet, and it would provide water for a large earth-sheltered mining base. Something similar will happen on Mars.
In the interests of unity... whatever our positions on various issues might be, can we all just agree that the guy is annoying as heck (on anything but very basic science education)?;)
Yes, and also he's wrong as heck. Physics fundamentals dictate that Mars will never resemble Earth, but it's human nature that people will one day live on it in a self-sustaining manner.
Look at all the national claims on Antarctica. The only reason it's not colonized is that it's an international research park by treaty.
There are a lot of people who advocate free healthcare and free tuition without putting on black hoods and beating up people in peaceful political marches. Why does Antifa continue to get account and page space on Facebook while other people get banned just for objecting to this?
Facebook is decidedly not free. It just doesn't cost money, and more insidiously, you never get any accounting of what it is costing you.
Old people on fixed incomes don't give a crap about the advertising side of the data privacy issue. It doesn't affect them in any case, because the first question on all those surveys we get bombarded with is "What is your age range?" As soon as you pull down 65+ from the combo list, it goes to the survey rejection screen. Advertisers have no interest in that demographic.
This has always puzzled me. There's email, phones, texting, physical mail (which, granted, is much slower). There's loads of way to keep in touch with people in remote locations. Why does it have to be Facebook?
The demographic of older people who live overseas is more easily reachable for free on Facebook than by phone and even by email. This is true no matter where you live.
As much as I don't like it, Nazi speech is not only **legal** in the US, it's **constitutionally protected**. There must be something in it for them, hence a quid-pro-quo somewhere.
Who is playing ball with them?
The left reflexively opposes anything that Big Corporations do, including most recently the ones in Silicon Valley, except when such companies silence conservative speech. This is the one time you will see them (unless your social media account has already been banned) use the argument that free speech is only protected from censorship by governments.
Yeah.. Rid of the phone system... Because you don't use it, you don't think it's used.. You're wrong. There are still a shit ton of landlines still in use
And we're now getting a steadily increasing number of robocalls on our cellphones. This has always been illegal, but if can't be stopped if there is no technology for filtering them.
Caller ID information is user-settable as a convenience for business users. It would be irksome to have this information modifiable only at the telco level, but we're going to have to do this if we want to filter robocalls.
If any way existed of finding robocallers, there would already be apps that could nail them. Some robocalls on business VoIP can be filtered (nomorobo.com) but this scheme does not work for most consumer lines.
Does this bill totally outlaw spoofing of Caller ID by locking in the ID when a line is provisioned?
Many of the great discoveries and inventions, from the earliest times to the mid-20th century, were made by independent researchers. Usually gentlemen of independent means, or famous scholars patronised by monarchs or nobles.
Even aerospace offers examples of this. In the early days of aviation, crazy inventors monkeyed with aircraft and rockets, making fast early gains. Then aerospace became institutionalized, with fast progress possible only in wartime. JFK was canny enough to slip through Apollo as a Cold War project, butt after that manned space programs languished - until wild-hair individual billionaires got back into the game. Suddenly, space programs are leaping ahead again.
Big investors don't care when something dies. They sell long before then.
They care primarily about the 2nd derivative. When growth stop accelerating, they start making their plans to bail out...
This wasn't how investment analysis used to work. Steady growth of an asset over an extended period of time is a good bet to beat virtually any fast-buck strategy.
The claim that Peter Minuit bought Manhattan from the Lenape people for $24 is probably apocryphal, but if the tribe had received that amount in the year claimed and simply banked it at two percent compound interest, their stake would now be worth more than Manhattan itself.
Disclosure if the decisonmaking process would show us when this kind of thing is happening, and having the FDA be advisory only would allow us to buy elsewhere when it does.
Access to one’s own records will empower patients who do take care of themselves. That large numbers of people will default to having decisions all done for them is beside the point.
Stories like this are why I’m so unsympathetic toward MDs who can’t be bothered to embrace technologies like electronic medical records. Sure, the early interfaces are generic and poorly differentiated by user (anesthesiologists need to interact with an EMR differently than do nephrologists, for example). But only if medical professionals care about simplifying their jobs in the long run by taking the trouble to learn new nsystems now, ad at the same time be proactive about keeping management informed about shortcomings of he system, so better interfaces can be devised.
Access to one's own medical records in full should be a basic right for us all. In line with this, all treatment machine records should be accessible by the patient. That most patients have no ability to make use of all this information is true but beside the point. That's what we hire medical experts to do.
There is no need to eliminate the FDA, because specifying and managing the testing of compounds is a vital function that would have to be introduced anyway. Instead, I would strip it of its power to keep products off the market. This is the power so often abused by well-connected corporations. Preventing generic anaphylactic shock inhalers that are available on the world market from competing with Mylan is a prime example.
Let doctors and medical payers keep using "approved by the FDA" as a gold standard while at the same time having the option of importing and using a products that has passed similar regulatory regimes in other major nations when it becomes general knowledge that the fix is in.
The FDA should also be required to show its work in full when it renders an opinion. This is information that doctors and payees may need when evaluating the quality of its recommendations.
or garage door openers their remote codes, the system should have switched to needing an exception to having to prove that it was legitimately copyright material.
But as I said elsewhere, I'll take "Evidence the USA is an Oligarchy" for $500
Finally, after half a comment section of random flaming, a relevant comment. Bravo.

What are "raunch" jokes? Is it like a salad dressing, perhaps?
Raunch dressing is the one with the fishy flavor, of course.

Ha maybe in the future, but not likely in the way that has been predicted in the past. I could be wrong.
Quantum computing will be simultaneously possible in the future and impossible in the future.
“Skyjacking” came into use during those years as a newspaper headline term. Kids, ask your grandpa what a “newspaper” was.

Sure, you won't die. You'll just go crazy.
Today, that gives you an advantage on social media.

When useful features start being replaced by gratuitous social media connections, you need to start looking for a new app.
