    Are you fucking retarded? Trumps approval is the highest of any president in living memory, he's doing more to unite people behind him than anyone has recently. You crazy bastards who want don't understand the world but have really strong opinions on it regardless are just easily manipulated by those willing to tell you whatever the Hell they please because you'll lap it up and ultimately overlook everything they actually do because you accept the lame excuses of "the other guys didn't let me do what I said, even though I managed to fuck you in several dozen completely new ways without an issue." America is more united now than it has been at least since I've been alive, and that union is against the corruption.

    The more you equip people with arms, the more people are prevented from being truly free, because they're only moments away from someone who is anti-freedom taking their life because they didn't like their opinion.

    You're a fool. America leads the world in gun crime, if you subtract the 4 cities with the strictest gun laws from that statistic America has the least gun crime. Those 4 cities all have outlawed guns, gun regulations don't work, they're just the wet dream of corrupt politicians who are sick of having to appeal to voters instead of taking bribes and slaughtering anyone who objects.

    You are aware that America has more gun crimes than any other nation on Earth by a wide margin. You are not aware that if you subtract the 4 cities with the strictest gun laws from the population America has the lowest rate of gun crimes. Regulation doesn't work.

    Literally could not get more American. Ending net neutrality means increasing incentive for people to build mesh nets, crush cable and cellphone monopolies, and make it borderline if not actually impossible to spy on people. The fact he's going to arm teachers, thereby removing the overwhelming majority of gun-free zones in the US, is fucking amazing. For the first time in my life we have a leader who is genuinely enhancing freedom and liberty instead of ceding authority to foreigners like the abomination that is the UN, and the tears of gun-grabbing practically-treasonous liberal-extremists is just icing on the cake.

    US sourcing means shitty products for higher prices. It's probably great for the suppliers, but it is bad news for Americans overall.

    That is both batshit insane and mentally retarded. You can't source military and infrastructure parts from a place that might cut you off tomorrow or use it as leverage in negotiations or worse, add backdoors so they can flip all your shit off if a war breaks out. Additionally, if you source the highest tech stuff you need from your own people then they get better at making it because they have a stable customer with stringent requirements. We wouldn't even have an electronics manufacturing (or any other manufacturing) sector left in the US with China's lust for monopolization of it, if not for the US government requiring it.

    Not so much for consumer, but for military hardware it absolutely is made in the US. The one exception was the F-16 replacement from the other year and it made the news because it was a huge scandal that they let a foreign military component in via a subcontractor.

    Stop acting like foreign corporations are equal to our own, they aren't any more than their citizens are. The US government owes it to the population to source everything they use domestically and have no obligation whatsoever to buy from foreign vendors - the fact they even gave the rationale of "for security reasons" in regard to Kaspersky and Huawei is more than they deserve. Huawei is known to intentionally put Chinese-sponsored backdoors into their hardware (just as Intel is known to put US-sponsored backdoors in) and Kaspersky makes application-level software with a plethora of US alternatives. Frankly, any government using foreign hardware or software in military, other defense, research, or really any system, is downright foolish. Other nations are not our friends, at best they are allies and even that is a transient state based on the dynamics of the time.

    I'm no expert in astronomy or digital image processing - but isn't there a technique for combining multiple lower resolution telescope images into a single high resolution image which is really reliable? What would the feasibility of taking a million of these tiny telescopes rigged with stepper motors for positioning to create a single virtual super-large aperture telescope? Would it be cheaper than the current best ground-based telescopes on the scale of ~100m in total cost?

    CRISPR-CAS9 is actually pretty reliable an unlikely to cause additional unwanted changes. The big issue is you don't really know what secondary and tertiary uses coding regions have (you might have multiple proteins synthesized from the same reion via operon-controlled reading frames, or you might have the same protein doing fundamentally different things within different cells, or you might have operons which appear very similar but control wildly different coding regions. The tool CRISPR-CAS9 itself is solid, but it's like pressing CTRL+C then CTRL+V on your computer, you still need to select the right thing and stick it at the right spot to form a sensible paragraph of text when you're copying and pasting words around, and at best we know what words means, more often than not we don't even know that - and we certainly don't have a dictionary listing any words not expressly written on the screen already not a thesaurus suggesting how words are similar or different from eachother. We're still at the very very very early stages of genetic engineering.

    But will any of them concoct something so stupid it will win the award for our entire species, rather than just them personally?

    I doubt it, we're incredibly complex and you would need to specifically engineer it to have some mechanism of transmission (practically a whole new branch of a life cycle) - even if you managed to do that viruses mutate a lot, bacteria are easy to kill, and even if your objective were specifically to make it impact everyone you'd fail. It might be possible to make some kind of new STD or flu, but even then your total infected is going to be quite low (even if Madagascar doesn't close their borders.)
