Such nonsense should never play out under the banner of political debate. This state is evil and disgusting. The use of fossil fuels causes disease and ruin to the environment. If Wyoming is so screwed up that they can't make a living without pushing fossil fuels or cheating the children out of a real education then it is time to abandon that state and go to a place where people can earn a living.
And yes, all global warming may not be the result of human activity. However even if most warming is caused by forces of nature the urgency to stop adding to the heat issue would mean taking the same steps anyway. When faced with warming you simply do not want to add more heat to the environment.
What Wyoming may be proving is that people should never be allowed to vote or be self regulating in any way because some people sell out for a hand full of silver. Shame on Wyoming!
Criminals should not rest easy as the article points out what i have said for years. A computer may be wide open to the government despite some real efforts to secure your information. At times I strongly suspect that the very programs that one might use to secure a PC are actually making it even easier to penetrate the PC. Those that have been naughty should be rather afraid. Tax cheats, child porn, and dope problems might lock you away forever.
I once worked for a company that was always looking at a down hill spiral and could not afford to advance employees or give meaningful wage increases. The consequence was that workers mostly only wanted to work just enough not to be noticed or singled out. The rational thing to do was to pitch in and make things better but the workers almost universally refused to do much on the job. Worse yet some of the management had no clue as to how jobs could be improved or work output or quality improved. It is a shame to see a company that has been around for three decades go to hell in a hand basket.
That is one heck of a pipe they are talking about. I won't be using such a tunnel and I'll bet that it would be a financial blunder and practical nightmare. Does any American actually want such a tunnel?
I think that the degree of spying by the US government and the availability of computers and the net are locked hip to hip. Computers and somewhat open communication are powerful tools and the US government equates paranoia with responsibility.
You can bet that China will protest martial robots. After all when it comes to flesh and blood soldiers China has a huge advantage due to their excessive population levels. But with dedication and planing smaller nations like Norway or Switzerland could invest heavily in reserves of very potent martial robots capable of resisting invasion by much larger nations. Think about it. Russia is doing an expansion right now. If the Ukraine and others had a few thousand really good nuclear equipped cruise missiles I seriously doubt that Russia would have dared to tread on them.
Most of the nations of the world seem to take any perceived weakness in another nation as an invitation to invade and slaughter and it is so convoluted that the aggressor will claim that their victims deserved their fate as they did not keep strength and readiness sharpened enough to not tempt others to invade.
We have a serious problem in that anything new always meets strong or even violent resistance without regard to the quality of the new idea or service. We see this with the Tesla cars where conspiracies to stop Tesla abound. And it is true that London is known for good taxi service but even in the US most taxi services are an abomination.
Further the scope of such laws could be over reaching. Am I suddenly not free to offer a neighbor $20. to drop me at the airport? I know car dealers that feel that the "Auto Trader" and Ebay should not be allowed to sell cars at all as the dealers feel that they should have the exclusive right to sell cars. They even argue that individual car owners should be prohibited from selling their own cars as only dealers have to pay taxes and meet regulations concerning car sales.
The local meat head will often remark that "He has the right to make a living." And therefore he has the right to burn down the competitions buildings or do whatever it takes to control "his area". In short anything new that is a good idea will always have to fight a war just to exist.
Medication to change skin color would result in a lot of strife. For example it is simply easier to be a white person that a darker person in America. I think that given the option most black folks would want to be white or at least have their kids be white. That would almost cause an extermination in appearance of black folks. It might also mean that black folks who are very dark would want to appear a bit less black at the very least. One can only imagine the shock of change and the response of both the black and white community.
I think we have reached the point at which being a conservative must be regarded as evil. One issue is the constant sheltering and support of race hate groups. The second issue is wanting to control the actions of others with belief systems that want to regulate abortion or pornography. If one dislikes abortions then simply don't have one. If one dislikes porn then don't consume porn. The notion that one's personal moral beliefs must be stamped upon everyone else is just wrong. Then there is a continuous display of lack of concern for others. Failure to support education or the teaching of science as well as the failure to support those in distress and dire need can not be tolerated. For example Palm Beach,Fl. has laws that make it a crime to feed the poor.
And yes, good people do fear conservatives. And maybe we need to fear them even more than we do today.
But more to the point if phobias are an expression of genetic damage then we have a proof that many people thought to have been mentally ill have nothing more than a damaged gene. Not only will that go a long way towards saving lives and eliminating suffering it will also mean that insurance companies would be forced to treat this form of "mental illness" as a physical illness and that in itself would open up care for some disabled people. Phobias can be so severe that people are totally non functional.
It will be a while before we can understand just how important such circuits can be. It may be that they simply supplement CPUs already in use. And much will depend upon just how deeply we can program such a device as well. It may well be that the worst path to take would be to try to get a machine to think like a human. We humans are a bit on the defective side. How well can we think when we have a history of electing people like George W. Bush as President? The evidence at hand is that humanity is sort of an evil, rambling, wreck heading for a serious dead end destiny.
Teaching kids about computers will hit many teachers square in the gut and a lot of bad teachers will surely screw up a lot of kids. Most people, including teachers, do not have a real grasp as to what a computer is or what it can really do. There are severe, emotional, religious and political issues involved in the concept of computers. It is all too easy to get a teacher who is a dry, old, stick, who has been indoctrinated into believing that computers are just fancy adding machines that can do nothing creative, never make errors, and not trustworthy. If you take the time to point out that certain programs develop new knowledge and solve problems that have challenged human minds for hundreds of years you will be shocked at how fast he can bury that information and return to his former beliefs. Many people go so far as to believe that computers and robotic devices can never displace human labor. They will stand by that belief even as workers are displaced before their eyes. And if we dare to suggest that Shakespeare could have done better if he had access to good computers we may give half the academic community a heart attack. As a youngster I had no clue as to how ignorant many teachers were. At some point one catches on that in many cases teachers only parrot back what some other functionary pounded into their head in college and false teachings abound. American history as taught in schools is a complete mess and often only a matter of opinion and false opinion at that.
Lies are part of the problem in more ways than one. The recent financial horror show could have been prevented if we had laws that prevented complex contracts and complex financial transactions. The concept of "Plain Dealing" needs to be part of the law. A family plantation in old Virginia was named Plain Dealing by folk who tended to be religious.
Deliberate lies aiming at usurping money while causing death and harm to the environment are not something free speech should protect. In essence the right wing conspires to commit acts that can only be considered criminal in intent and implementation are in play. Conspiracy is a broad enough concept that we should be able to arrest and convict those who use these criminal tactics to steer the ignorant. The same could be said of those who try to block education of concepts such as evolution. Such nonsense is clearly an attempt to cripple the thinking processes in school age children.
I could easily believe that male hormones cause nearby animals to be more prepared to defend themselves and thus pain relief follows as an aid to flight or fight enhancements in the animal.
This also demonstrates why variables should never exist in any scientific experiment and just how subtle a variable may be. The financial losses from decades of spoiled research could be considerable.
Frankly the issue of race and discrimination gets danced around and never really spelled out clearly. The truth is simple. Even if everybody in the nation is pure in heart and free of preferences discrimination will remain a huge problem. The majority group will tend to do better than any minority group. This issue starts with the family. If you have a nephew who needs a job and you are in a position to boost your nephew up a bit the chances are that you will give him the job. If you are running a restaurant and know that your customers want to see a sharp looking young girl to wait tables that is who you will hire. By being inclusive to one group you exclude other groups. One by one these little trends of including some people will become a brick wall for other people that often can not be penetrated. I even met a doctor that could not make a living. He was short and tended to be pudgy and had lousy skin color and frankly was on the ugly side. His healing skills might be wonderful for all I know but the man gets no new patients and therefore can only work in situations like an emergency room where patients are assigned to him. His financial success is very limited compared to what it might be if he were at least of average attractiveness.
When it comes to many darker skinned people we probably should be assigned a financial penalty to help support them as prevailing conditions will cause many of them to live in poverty despite great effort on their part to succeed.
Sometimes society gets silly. The simple truth is that any interview is a deliberate act of discrimination. It is not about race or religion. Sometimes it is about where you are born or where you live. Suppose you want to hire a salesman to sell Mercedes Benz cars. Obviously you want that salesman to come from a background and living situation in which owning a new Mercedes is common place. A salesman from that background can reel in new customers for the dealership. More common yet is an experienced employer who wants to hire people that live very close to the work place. After all workers who drive quite a ways to get to work will insist upon raises as driving is expensive.
I enjoy several meat substitutes such as Boca Burgers and meal starters. I would use them more often if the price was more reasonable. It is odd that these substitutes can exceed the price of the real thing.
This goes far beyond a nuclear issue. Sadly the US has narrowed its definition of mental illness severely. Whether it be a worker in a power plant or some troubled fool wanting to shoot up a school we simply have no effective way to identify and treat many off the wall personalities and worse yet we have not been willing to square off against certain glaring facts. For example if a person is sexually attracted to young children they are mentally ill. The desire is in itself the proof. The same applies to murderers who have a desire to kill others. They are not sane even though they appear to be. One could even state that when a murder occurs over financial lusts that such a lust defines a mentally ill person. After all most people do not value wealth to a point that they will kill to get money or property.
Since we don't confront these issues anywhere else we also do not confront these issues when we hire nuclear power workers or commercial aviation pilots or other positions in which a twisted system of desires resides within a person.
These days the public has a concept of what an American company is but i'm not so certain that the law shares the same concept. Corporations are multi-national these days and frankly the nature of multi national corporations sucks bilge water. Here is why: Going into WWII the Coca Cola company felt that they would take heat for producing product in Germany. So they created the Fanta line of sodas. That way they could still make money on all those lovely Nazi soldiers while keeping the public unaware that they were actively doing business within the Reich. Meanwhile IBM was actually aiding in the data handling of people inside the concentration camps.
Wouldn't a normal person assume that these companies would have been seized and shut down with their assets held for the war effort? Who made money by allowing these conditions to exist?
A funeral is not always a tragedy. Every now and then i really enjoy seeing a person being sent on the big dirt nap. In some cases I wish I was the one that had killed them. Yeh, I know. Old Adolph was somebodies little boy.
This time there surely must be a law that stops this. Mobile devices may pay by the minute for incoming communications. Therefore receiving an unwanted ad is a form of taking and as such must not be allowed. The same could be said of a PC if one has a monetary penalty for receiving too much data.
Although I am for free speech I am also in favor of surveillance. That leaves me in a bad position as free speech ends when spying and potential penalties may be applied for unapproved speech. So we can admit that speech in America is a bit less than free. If we stack on top of that a further issue of corporations having more access to bandwidth than regular folks it is simply another blow against free speech. At this time I'm not so certain that American society can take that kind of hit without some serious rebellions cropping up. Many people simply do not trust our government enough as it is. Endless wars as well as a House of Representatives dedicated to inaction and the legacy of the Nixon mess has turned people away from our government.
Frankly the stakes are so high that i would not be shocked to see murders in an effort to shut down Tesla. We all need Tesla to succeed big time. The powers that be would do far better to develop a cheaper, better, electric car in order to compete with Tesla than playing all kinds of negative games trying to do Tesla harm. Change is upon us all and there are times when change can sting us all a bit. That does not mean we should get all negative and perverted in our responses to change.
How about we simply pass laws that prevent any employment in an industry that one once regulated for a period of 15 years? We might also want to back that up with laws that place an absolute income cap on former government officials.
China is using 3D printers that can churn out 10 homes every 24 hours. These are cheap homes at $4,800 each for rural areas. But the point is that not only for social issues but also for making huge money 3D printing is the breakthrough we have all waited for. Corporations will either love or hate these devices as the social changes that will occur will eliminate many traditional factories and industries. I simply fail to see why people can't predict the changes that we will see. It is true that the tiny unit used by hobbyists have limits but larger, industrial scale units are amazing.
