What is your definition of sealed? My wrist watch is sealed to be water resistant to 300 meters. Yet I am allowed (expected even) to replace my own battery. The manufacture even suggests I replace the o-ring when I do. Yet the warranty is still valid against manufacture defect. Now doing that with a hard drive does seem to present a bit of a conundrum. A company could make the claim that opening a drive in any environment other than a clean room, would damage the drive. Warranties have traditionally never been valid for damage caused by the end user.
An armed population doesn't bow to tyrants. An unarmed population can do nothing but bow to tyrants. The fact that some unarmed countries don't yet have tyrants, doesn't really help your argument.
Anyone who needs to look up a youtube video to learn about gun safety, assembly/disassembly or cleaning should not be handling guns.
While I understand your sentiment, I have to call BS. Utilizing a quick internet video to quickly relearn how to field strip a particular weapon is very handy. Especially when one owns many guns that don't get fired very often.
If there is a sufficient market for people to pull things with rented vehicles if EVs become more common, you'll be able to rent them. Although you may find that it's all self-driving by the time EVs have that level of market penetration.
It's a self eating watermelon. People won't buy EVs unless they are economically superior to ICE for the function they need it to perform. Companies won't make EVs with decent towing capacity unless people are going to buy them.
Fun fact; people who are against supply side economics, really need supply side economics to get EVs to become a thing. Karma's a bitch.
That is, of course, why fake news is running rampant: people like you don't want to pay anything to reporters to get real news, and so what you get is what you pay for: worthless news.
Yes, because none of the main stream media are above posting fake news.
When I look for software engineers, I wan't more than just somebody who can code in multiple languages.
Do you have Network+/Security+ certifications? (This will get you in the door for an interview) Do you have your CCNA? (This will increase your starting point for pay)
Show me that you have taken the effort to expand your knowledge beyond just programming. There are plenty of programming jobs out there, finding people who have more than self taught skills is what employers are looking for.
I'm still trying to figure out how you determine we are all white from a simple outline sketch? Looking at the plaque on the Pioneer... For all the aliens know we could be purple.
Afghanistan and Somalia have plenty of guns for government overthrow...how zat working?
Non sequitur. The Afghanistan government works for most Afghani's. It's only the Taliban who want to overthrow the government and they are quickly becoming a smaller percentage of the population. As for Somalia, they don't have a government. So which tribe would you like them to overthrow?
Sounds like you need to read more than just Karl Marx. How about F.A Hayek's The Road to Serfdom. or maybe, Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations. Everybody should read Karl Marx, but if that is all you read, you will never know just how bad his ideas were. Hint: He had no concept of the apathy of the human race.
I'm going to have to agree with Gary Johnson on this... While foreign governments involvement in the social engineering of elections is interesting, I am far more concerned with the government's abuse of 4th amendment rights. Illegal snooping on citizens is far more dangerous than some agency posting stories that feed people false information trying to keep them in their little bubbles.

Proof-of-storage would be useful, as it would likely drive down the price of SSDs, benefiting everyone, in the long term.
I think you missed the concept of supply and demand. If you increase the demand, the price goes up.

Works fine in the rest of the world.
The sarcasm is strong with this one.
No, I think I understand it too well. The fact that you can't see the parallels in society today, is quite telling though.
The concept of thought police, scares me more than anonymous racism.

My vote is for Attack Helicopter.

Saw that and thought... Well there it's death knell.

FTFY
So true.

It's cheaper to give them income than to loose tons of angry, desperate people on the public.
Cheaper for who? Definitely not the tax payer.

Other wise known as systemic patriarchy.
So when will you people start allowing us to generate more non-fossil electricity?
No one is stopping you from generating more non-fossil electricity. We just don't want you impeding our use of fossil fuels.

Age based ads targeting comic books to teenagers, ok. Age based ads targeting IT jobs to Millennials but excluding people aged 40 is a problem.
France will be the first against the wall.
