This is fascinating, however, there is no mention of 'genocide' anywhere.
The Clovis people were defined by culture. People did come across the Bering Strait into the Americas, they just weren't Clovis (yet) when they did. The Clovis culture developed after people had already settled and then spread. That's what the headline means by "Clovis People Not First Americans".
The people who settled the Americas still all have a common genetic heritage and came in a single migration. Here is an excerpt from the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M, who published the study referenced in that article:
Current data from molecular genetics do not support this model of Native American replacement of Paleoamericans. All major Native American mtDNA and Y-chromosome haplogroups emerged in the same region of central Asia, and all share similar coalescent dates, indicating that a single ancient gene pool is ancestral to all Native American populations. Similarly, all sampled native New World populations (from Alaska to Brazil) share a unique allele at a specific microsatellite locus that is not found in any Old World populations (except Koryak and Chukchi of western Beringia), which implies that all modern Native Americans descended from a single founding population that was the result of a single migration. This is further supported by ancient DNA studies showing that Paleoamericans carried the same haplogroups (and even sub-haplogroups) as modern Native groups. Thus, although the Paleoamerican sample is still small, the craniometric differences between the early and late populations are likely the result of genetic drift and natural selection, not separate migrations from different sources in Asia.
I'd like to add that when they say "different sources", they clarify elsewhere on the page that sources can be separated spatially or temporally. Meaning that the last sentence also precludes 2 separate migrations that came from the same geographic source.
Who the fuck are you talking about? Humans left Africa and eventually migrated across the Bering Strait and then south over thousands of years to settle North and South America.
It's because the Defense Budget is a jobs program. It's not about training better soldiers/sailors/marines/airmen, but that M1-Abrams Tanks are built in a factory in some town that otherwise has no economy so they keep pumping them out even though the Pentagon* says they don't want or need any more than they already have.
*Weird-looking building. Four walls and a spare. Monument to Murphy's Law. (obligatory MASH reference)
People form corporations because they offer "limited liability", i.e. the company is liable, not the individuals.
However, the Board of Directors are personally liable for certain things (e.g. employee pay, taxes) if the company fails to meet its financial obligations. That means their personal property can be liquidated, if necessary, to pay whatever they owe. They can't simply bankrupt the company and walk away.
It's not just the change, it's the rate of change.
If the Earth's mean temperature changes by 2 degrees over 70 million years (the timescale TFA is talking about), it's a lot different than if happens over 200 years. That's over 5 orders of magnitude.
So yeah, if in 70 million years we've evolved into mer-people, then the ocean levels rising won't be a big deal. Since it only took 65 million years to go from dinosaurs to somewhat intelligent apes who invented the internet so idiots can post ridiculous crap on obsolete websites, it's totally possible.
You should really read at least the entire first paragraph before you quote something...
The Maunder Minimum roughly coincided with the middle part of the Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America experienced colder than average temperatures. Whether there is a causal relationship, however, is still controversial, as no convincing mechanism for the solar activity to produce cold temperatures has been proposed, and the current best hypothesis for the cause of the Little Ice Age is that it was the result of volcanic action. The onset of the Little Ice Age also occurred well before the beginning of the Maunder minimum.
I think that's a bit disingenuous. Both things are threats to our liberty, in different ways and to different degrees. Just because I am concerned about Russia interfering in our elections doesn't mean that I am not concerned about the rise of the surveillance state.
How does spending all your time on that one language for n years get you 2n years of experience anyway?
If you get an interview for a job posting with that kind of requirement, then you should bring it up in the interview. Tell them that the experience they are looking for will be impossible to find without a time machine. If you're the only candidate who brings this up, then it shows that either a) you're the only one who isn't lying, or b) you're the only one who knows what they're talking about.
If other candidates have brought it up, but they never changed the job requirements, then you probably don't want to work there anyway. My advice if the interviewer doubles down is to walk out and look elsewhere.
If you're looking to scrape html there are other libraries. Recently I used lxml, seemed very powerful and straightforward. What I was doing was fairly simple, but I was able to throw my script together within a few minutes of downloading the package.
People who came to the United States from actual police states (like my father who grew up in Egypt) would be able to describe the differences to you in minute detail. The fact that secret policemen are not breaking your door down this instant just for posting your comment is all the proof you need.
Although I want to say that I agree with all the specific points you made, but I don't think we're that far gone yet.

Who the hell was here before that?
Damage to national security due to a leak doesn't magically expire if there was a fucking election wrapped around that stupidity.
Funny, because that is pretty much exactly what the OP of this thread was saying:
She lost the election, can we stop this idiotic red scare?

... should be the headline.
It's kinda like when a bull kills a matador, all I can think is "Fuck Yeah!"

Oh OK, so I guess it's only 3-4 orders of magnitude then.
Also, "checkmate" is one word, not hyphenated.

Hillary's personality was that of a stuck up b****h.
In other words, she's a woman who is smarter and more successful than you. She might be a stuck up bitch, but you're a whiny little one.
Because it's a specific kind of lying. Perjury is another example.
It's like saying, why call them robins when we can just call them "birds"?
Fake News-ception.

Hell, I'll settle for 0.1% or 0.01% or even just 1 fucking name.
But now he doesn't care because it was rigged in his favor.
Johnson gave stoners a bad name. It's not the weed, he's just an idiot.
PR schtick? Fuck you.

Watching the video I feel bad for the bat...
OK, now you just have to find me an iPhone without iOS.

Who only knows one language? The last time I only knew one language I was probably 15.
No, it's not enough.

Can you give me a URL? I'd love to get my hands on some of those Soros bucks everyone keeps talking about.
