Nonsense. Corporations that make no money are the very definition of not-for-profit. And there are plenty of corporations out there that only earn enough to pay their employees.
Without investigating, there's really no way to know if there's intention to harm or not, is there? I think criminal charges are not warranted, but I certainly understand the need to look at things.
Construction helmet rules are put in place by private companies to avoid liability for stupid behavior by employees. If you don't wear your hard hat, they can kick you off the property and/or fire you, and if you sue them for an injury sustained while not wearing a hard hat in a hard hat area they've got one hell of a defense.
Bicycle helmet laws are put in place by the state, and if you don't wear it they will fine you and potentially put you in jail. See the difference?
And even that is complicated by the fact that the US has a really high murder rate, but that killing is overwhelmingly related to the drug trade. Your chances of experiencing violent crime in the US are tiny if you're not involved in that.
Depends on where you are. Sometimes taxi lines are short, sometimes they're long. My wife and I walked from the vicinity of the Musee d'Orsay to the Opera in Paris - a little over a mile - without being able to get a single taxi. No taxis at the marked taxi ranks, nothing available on the street. I'd have killed for Uber.
That night, I looked up the number of a Paris taxi company and put their English-speaking operator's number in my phone.
Water is kept liquid more by hydrogen bonds than van der Waals. Compare boiling points of water (0 C, two free electron pairs to participate in H bonds), ammonia (-33 C, one free electron pair to H bond), and methane (-164 C, no free pairs).
Except that treason is quite clearly defined in the Constitution:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
I'm sure that she's right that it's comply or go to jail, but it's not treason.
I'm not a big NSA fan, but didn't they make some opaque changes to DES that hardened it? Intelligence agencies want to spy on individuals, of course, but they also want companies to have access to crypto that other countries find difficult to crack.
AKA, why I went on a ketogenic diet and haven't been hungry since. Doesn't work for everyone, some people just can't do it. But if you can, it's magic.
Like I said, Africa needs to have some serious wars. Either they will achieve a closer alignment between tribal groups and territory, or they will work out some kind of multi-ethnic state (examples would be Roman or Austro-Hungarian Empires) with a lot of local autonomy. Under the current system, the incentives are badly aligned.
To be completely fair - and based on a recent trip to Vegas and San Francisco I'm not feeling especially charitable toward Verizon - none of those telecoms are trying to deploy across anything like the total territory of the US. It's not just population density, it's the sheer size of the country - and we expect no roaming fees.
Yes. But that's somewhat orthogonal to the discussion, in the sense that Africa really has a lot of unresolved issues that won't go away until a lot of people die. Europe went out and conquered the world from 1500-1900, and then immolated itself in two huge wars in the twentieth century that fundamentally came down to questions of governance. Africa has to have some of those kind of wars, where everyone loses, before its people will accept suboptimal solutions.
They don't, but it's interesting how good they can make wireless. Went on safari in Kenya and Tanzania last year. I had cell signal everywhere and 3G almost everywhere. I was on big roads, of course, but service really was impressive.
The aerospace industry in California goes back to the early aviation industry, and for a simple reason: weather, empty space, and population centers close to both.. Build in LA, test in the desert. Just like Hollywood, they needed somewhere it doesn't rain.

So, because the really expensive part is getting off the ground, we should launch a shuttle and a Soyuz (for crew return) instead of just a shuttle?

It's in Louisiana.
Go read Radley Balko's work. Google Sal Culosi for a really good example.

Yeah, pretty much.

Exactly. If SSDs were as cheap as HDDs I sure wouldn't have any of the latter.

AIUI no, there is no such thing as "European" copyright. Not even for just one language.
The US has a huge advantage because one set of negotiations lets you distribute copyrighted work to over 300 million people. Can't do that in Europe.
Depends on your library. Mine has a terrible selection of ebooks, just a few hundred and most of them junk. I'd pay for a good library.

Post-Heller, you're right. But that was a big part of the perception.
I don't know why you were modded funny. The NRA is widely perceived in the gun rights community as far too willing to compromise.
