I live in a state that requires it, and was hit by someone who didn't have it anyway.
You live in more of a fantasy world than he does. Besides, requiring someone to get insurance before putting someone else, unasked, at risk is small potatoes on the libertarian scale compared to the rest of what government does.
AI does better than humans in chess, Jeopardy, soon driving and surgery, and now Go? Come on, man, put this "better than humans can do" power to real work and build a sexbot that can fuck the holy hell out of me!
I once pointed out how we had a ready-made carbon sequestration process in place already. Yard waste in landfills.
Sadly, this was killed by a competing environmentalist impulse based on innumeracy: We are running out of space for landfills. So now many areas ban yard waste in landfills. And what landfills there are often are areated so they can continue to rot away underground, also releasing that CO2.
Do your duty -- compost the yard waste to get the CO2 back into the atmosphere!
When I pointed this out to the environmentalist, he immediately said, well, CO2 wasn't that important as a greenhouse gas.
You have to pick and choose your environmentalist impulse values and pooh pooh any contrary ideas.
In Aliens, the boxes the lifters lifted had lifter bars sticking out from the sides like ears. This is just stupid for packing crates together. Oh they could be removable but then you need a thick socket at least, wasting an inch or more of space on each side, and extra time to attach and detach them.
Stupid all around. Large ones aiding mining and logging might be useful, but that's it. Militarily these are stupid sitting ducks. There's a reason all aliens since War of the Worlds in the 1950s need "force fields" to protect them, because missile tech makes mince meat of any such things.
In that case, Congress, for better or for worse, specified that cable redistribution required a negotiated payment and that cable companies couldn't use the "we're just a fancy antenna" argument, which otherwise would work. Congress granted broadcast networks a slice of the cable dollars. (Back in the day, they were the only real content aside from reruns and movies, covered by premium movie channels.)
I don't know any such thing exists here. If you ask me, as soon as the initial $20 was sold, they owed Disney or whoever their proper slice of it. They can't sell it back and still preserve their derivative work sale.
Since it's a leaked build, we would suggest treading carefully before downloading it. You might just want to avoid it until it's available from the official channel.

Do the people on the left realize the whole tea party movement was born of a rebellion against Republicans, not Democrats, because the elected Republicans were not doing enough to slow down or stop the Democrats.
In other words, its success was precisely because of the idea of stopping the Democrats even more, of getting in their way even more.
Every time some Democrat whined "the Republican congress isn't cooperating, they should cooperate more, it's what The People want", they had it bass ackwards.
Proof? The slow Republican ratchet towards state governorship and legislative control, and Congress. Pretty much all the Democrats had to pin their hopes on was an anomalous novelty president. And by this election, the novelty of such had worn off, and nobody was in the mood to apply it again.
I didn't want either to be president, but this shit was born of the Democrats driving Republicans into a corner so they had no choice but to get angry...and they have been, but you focus so much on just the presidency you didn't see it coming everywhere else. Any Republican would have won this election, Trump was the best shot at a loss...until the Dems kept opening their yappers about how people are, as with a religion, literally hell-bound deluded evil souls to be opposed to them.
I'm not for government involvement in the economy, but when a company claims they need to keep the money from unused tickets instead of returning it, because otherwise they have unfairly lost money on an unsold seat if they return it (which is not nice, but reasonable), but then actually do this, where they have completely ameliorated that risk, then to continue to maintain that rational for not returning the unused seat's money when it gets re-sold anyway, i.e. double-sold, is flat out fraud.
Like banks charging $35 overdraft fees, over and over in a single month, because it's "costly" to them, or credit card companies charging outrageous interest rates, bumping you up because you have borrowed too much ("you are a 'higher risk' "), the actual behind the scenes math is oriented around the surface reason as fraud for a real, massively profitable business model.
These are frauds. They literally hope you get into trouble of some kind (forget to use the ticket, forget you're low on funds, borrow too much from them without even missing a payment) so they can "protect themselves". But when they hope you trip instead of fear it, because it profits them, there's the lie. There's the fraud.
Ahh, the nuclear triad, with nukes spread out between fixed land based missiles, sub missiles, and airborne missiles. One of the politicians didn't know what that even was, IIRC.
Oh, well. With so many running, he or she is almost certainly one of those who lost, thank god.
Russia, like the US, is one of the few large state actors with the facilities to start nano-shearing away the tops of the chips and mapping it out, anyway.

Because it is a political stunt to get the Republicans to overturn it when Trump gets in
There is no political mechanism to reverse the decision. Congress could vote to reverse it, but that would be subjected to court challenges questioning the validity of the reversal..
Congress gets the honor of doing this, given The Peoples' preference for a high valuation of environmental values is expressed through legislation passed by Congress.
A congress could, tomorrow, erase all environmental regulations and laws, for whatever reason, and the courts could not un-erase them.
They wouldn't, but they could.
Congress could blow away Social Security if they wanted to, leaving retirees high and dry (even an implied contract is invalid as it is legally a welfare program, a transfer from current taxpayers to current recipients. And probably not even if so.)
The only remedy would be for voters to throw out the bums at the next election.
Remember internationally tradeable carbon chits? China said, "Give us more -- a lot more, or else we're ignoring it and going whole hog anyway." So they did.
This means higher hanging fruit will become lower than lower hanging fruit used to be, in terms of resource cost on the market. The idea of a fixed amount we will suddenly run out of, causing skyrocketting prices, or even economic collapse, is not borne out by measurements of real economic history.
They even had a famous 10 year bet where Simon won, where the detractor even got to pick the resources that would go up in price. Isaac Asimov, another gloomer from the 1970s, was brave enough to admit he was wrong.
This was how it was trivially easy to predict the Peak Oil prople were full of shit.
There may be reasons not to burn too much oil, such as polution or environmentalism, but running out suddenly, or any time soon, ain't one of 'em.

Make up your fucking mind.
No, it's because some Vestian pissed off a Martian who grokked away a big chunk of its mantle, causing it to fly apart.
It's a fair trade -- to pollute while rising out of peasantry.
Only when it becomes more harmful than helpful is it worth it to fix.
This sounds like an idiot super villain who invents robots, and, instead of selling them for billions, uses them to rob a bank instead.

The prices actually drop over the long term, though there can be spikes that last years or evn a decade or more before coming down.
As long as people are free to innovate, without government control or rationing, they will keep ahead of the curve in the long run.
