I am what you would call a "leftist" or even worst an egalitarian "socialist" which is probably a gross word for msot american;) (e.g. everybody no matter skin color, gender, sexuality , wealth or political affiliation should have the same equality of opportunity + as a specie we fare better when we protect each other so social net to catch those who fall in the crack e.g. illness, financial problem, rehabilitation etc...).
She was rightfully terminated. She was toxic, obnoxious.
As for the "loud mouth" and the whiner as you call them , they are a problem from all political parties. You would better off to recognize that there are loud mouth in the right wing , mysoginistic racist bigot, and loud mouth on the left wing, ultra "mansplaining manhating" "human are the problem ecologist" and I pass many others. They are a minority but both side are using them as a scapegoat to accuse the other party of going too far, and get brownie point from their base. I doubt all dems are as you describe, just like I doubt all reps are nazis racist. But if you believed the minority yelling, that is the impression you would get
My advice : ignore the extreme left and the extreme right yelling, fight them rationally without name calling, and consider they are truly a minority. So if somebody from your party is trying to use the other party loudmouth as a scapegoat, then get skeptic and look closely at the man behind the curtain puppetting the show, because chance are they are pointing at the loudmouth from the other side to bamboozle you , and withdraw attention from the problem of your own side. Just a friendly advice, and if many of you take it, this should bring back the US politic discourse to the center rather than the ultra extreme. And chance is that it would force head of both party to work for the mass, rather than the extreme ideology. Win win.
You example are what I would call stupid. Legality always trump everything, you cannot be required to do something illegal. And THAT is already enshrined into laws. But for the rest ? I am sorry moral quandary are not a reason. If you have moral quandary about something which your job legally entail, then that job is not for you, do get another job.
In my view it is the same to refuse service to somebody for their political affiliation, or because they are gay. That restaurant red hen refused service to Sarah Sanders is on the same level as the guy refusing to decorate a cake for gay marriage. Your religion preclude you to give anti abortion pill at a drugstore ? get another job. Your opinion is that you don't want to give cake for gay marriage ? Get another job. You don't want to serve politician in restaurant ? get another job. Etc rinse and repeat. If one is allowed by the constitution and law , then all are. Now if you ask my opinion, as soon as you are in a service industry you should not be allowed to discriminate *either way*.
We regulate sex more than violence because relatively few people want to commit wanton acts of violence while just about everybody want sex.
This is bollocks because you DO NOT regulate sex. Want you want to do ? Stop two teen having sex ? how ? Having them a iron udnerwaer with a lock for which you have only the key ? Just get real. No you don't regulate sex (except the separation adult/minor). What you do is restrict access to information. And what happen when access to information is restricted ? Well kids STILL have sex, but they do it without being fully aware of the consequence, or use and info rumor gossip and hoax circulating (like "you can't get pregnant if it is a rape". oh wait my bad that one was a politician - but sad joke aside misinformation is bad). That is why where teen get sex ed, they have consistently LESS unwanted pregnancy, and abstinence policy lead to MORE pregnancy. This is simply plain statistic and whether you are religious or not cannot deny, you can refuse them, pretend they do not exists, but we can all see them for what thy are.
The guy who found so long ago all died, or are all but dead. The average MP and police chief in hierarchy is now 50, means they are the older children or grand children of those who fought, and were born in a time of boon. Those who have security and comfort are trying to keep it using method their parent would have blushed or cursed to. Frankly, this is the same type of people which deride millenial when at the same time 50 years ago they had comparatively cheap housing and a great potential. They are the same one predominentely wanting an empire they knew only in their stories. They are also the one wanting demographically brexit. that should tell you all. They are looking inward and going to the fetal position.
The cynic in me tells me that if a cure for age was rolled out, it would be first and foremost used by those rich , and thus dictators included, before it hits the general public. And that would be the last generation of human : earth could not sustain eternal people.
The half burned corpse problem is about funeral rites. Imagine that in the US suddenly out of ecological concern everybody is suddenly requested to burn their loved one. Some might not see a problem, but for many religious folk it would be. Same with the funeral rite on the gange. Heck a way to alleviate the problem would be for the state to provide fuel for the poorest to get a proper burning, but stopping those funeral rite won't work. Anyway the corpse will rot and be washed out. The plastic bags will not.
You are confusing the CO2 required to produce food, and the CO2 we exhale. Let us ignore the CO2 produced by food. We as human , do not exhale more CO2 than what we use as energy (actually CO2, H2O and various other elements through urine). If we exhaled MORE than we consumed , we would *loss weight*. If we exhaled less than we consume we *gain weight*. It is a simple fact that for a normal human in homeostase and not gaining/losing weight (let us ignore exchanging muscle for fat and vice versa - so a first approximation), what we consume is what we exhale. As such the GP is right, and not anti science, we are not exhaling more CO2 than we consume. Now the food we produce generate different amount of CO2 depending on what is produced, how it is transported and how it is prepared, but that is different than pretending human would be taxed on their BREATH what the OP was pretending would happen.
It is all a question of chemistry , and processing. Assuming full silicon electronic form "digitized" programs - AI - are still recognizing in patterns they follow, energy they consume, and even if you assume a non regular clock, you will see pattern which have to be regular to decode it (it cannot be fully random noise or encrypted, at some point something has to de-encrypt - and signal have to go to processing from/to memory). And for anything else, something beside carbon is improbable due chemistry constraint : carbon offer the bonds which are readilly broken, but also readily made, and can be very reactive. Silicon and other elements are either very reactive for the STP, or very bonding. That special "zone" where both can be done don't really exists for other multi bond atoms. I would wager it isn't an accident that we are carbon based.... because from what we know of chemistry this is the most advantageous form for biology. Note that I said carbon based, not oxygen consuming. Even on earth we have bacteria using other oxydant. You can imagine all sort of SF scenario, but from our knowledge state.... Unfortunately not much is viable.
People don't compare to folk half the world away, they compare to their immediate neighbors. That is why they elect fascist populist politician : because they want to get a better living and see the other 60% getting it. Not saying they are right, but simply that your remark is stupid.
I had changed the pin and could not remember the order of the digits but could remember the digits, so I tried permutation of the numbers until it unlocked. I got it after 10 or so tried.
When entered your pin to unlock the SIm, if you enter more than 5 time it is supposed to sim lock you and ask for the PUK, but I could enter it as many time as I want and i was never locked. That was iphone 3 though.
Well thought out does not matter, well implemented without flaw DOES matter, and unless webassembly has some kind of mathematical proof , I don't want it enabled on my PC. All I want is : can Is witch it off... ?
The reason being the assymetry in pwoer and that would have ben predictable from the get go. Big media company have big lawyer team. most people have none. So if they get a notice claim, it cost them too much to make sure they in their right and contest/counter notice, the risk to get it wrong and sued into oblivion is too high. That is most probably WHY most people do not send coutner notice. This assymetry was known from the start and you were naive to not see it.
But then again, Look at the group invovled you cited:
Content producers
Hosting companies and ISPs
Web sites using content
NONE are representing the general public interrest. Funny, uh ?
There are quite a few jobs where you expect threats. Immigration enforcement , people evicting others, debt collector and I pass many others. There are many jobs which may need to be done, but for which people affected by those job may not necessarily like the enforcer. Personally I don't see the usefulness of threatening ICE official, but then again I am legal resident on where I live so I am biased.
They are for the amateur, to lock them out long enough that activities are suspicious or even downright impossible for them. I have two U lock on my (rather expansive) lying-bike. They are not there for any Pro wanting to steal my bike which would knack them in 1 to 3 second each. They are there for the kids or adult wanting to have a joy ride on it.
are you human ? I need to ask that question, because you seem to be from alpha centauri or something to no remember in your youth pushing boundaries and try to get your hand on the forbidden fruit. That is getting your hand on a stash of porn, getting your hand on video, including violent one, and I pass many others. You think our parent did not have tight hand on us ? Well YUPPEE DOO. Parents cannot be behind their kid 24/7. Even if they could, there is a point at which they must release a little bit of leash or they will never get a a proper adult being able to handle stuff on their own. Why do you think there are many many forums and how-to from kids on how to bypass nanny software or how to proxy through a great-wall-of-china firewall for children ? No. It is not realist to think you can be behind your children 24/7 and catch them doing naughty things. What I would expect is parent starting to educate their children on what is naughty, why it is naughty, and why they should be avoid , teach them responsibility, but even then there are limits. I can hardly see you teach your children about porn, the holocaust, nazi, racism, torture, snuff film, in one fell swoop when they are below their teen, and YET they will most probably get into contact with it.
There is a reason why we put the responsibility of not selling porn on alcohol on the skin mag seller and the local waterhole and not the parent. Because parents cannot be 24/7 so the damn provider are responsible to play guardian catch-kid. But you and many other simply chose to forget all of that and complain. That is why I have to ask if you were born and educated on earth, because you simply seem not aware of any of the points I jsut listed. That or you have no kids and conveniently forget your own youth.
Replace gaming with heroin and you see why. It isn't the "doing it" which is the health condition. The health condition is "doing it, being unable to stop, AND this has a negative impact on job/life/etc...". The second part is the one people forget the addition in the DMS is about... Sorry I missed adding the negation in the previous post.

This was the USSR doing what they doing best , utterly neglecting basic security , basic anything, and it was 1957 to boot. The other incident I can remember involving waste was Goya hospital in Brazil, again not properly stored, and some reclaiming tank with nytril uranium which went critical due to somebody not knowing it was more concentrated than it should have been at the surface. Factually if you look at all our long term waste storage , none of them harmed human. And please stop looking at USSR or Russia for example, or short term storage, that would be another kind of lie, shifting the goal. When we speak of storage we usually speak of long term storage of waste.
Do you know who is consuming most of the electricity ? The Industry. Count about 10% residential , 25% commercial and 65% industrial. While residential can do with solar/wind and storage of local small capacity and top off on the grid, industrial and partly commercial need the base load. And therein lies the Problem. Solar and wind due to their intermittency cannot be used as base load, unless you get physical/chemical/thermal battery to store energy when it is in excess and reuse it when it is not shiny/windy. Beside the case of hydro (which is AFAIK had its potential completely used) and geothermal which is a very localized use case, Gas, coal, oil, nuclear are base load plants. And from those only one is not emitting tons of CO2 per kwh.
There are limited use case for solar to cut through industrial process which use a lot of energy (like the Bayer process to smelt bauxite, usage of concentrated solar array can help cut energy usage, but those situation again are very limited geographically and limited in time). As for GAS plant and similar plant they are so cheap because they are allowed to burn and emit CO2 without consequence. Tragedy of the common. Not imposing a tax on CO2 polluting plant *IS* a form of subsidy frankly even if most of the US does nto recognize it.
TL;DR : without an effective way of storing energy in massive amount, the only base load plants are either nuclear or emitting CO2.
They cancelled it out because they could not see the immediate benefit while wanting to show some fiscal austerity. While republican would not have seen the immediate interest either, they would have kept it for the money and economy it would have brought Texas, and while they are vocal for fiscal responsibility in reality it is all bluster and they are utterly fiscally irresponsible when in power.
In other word anti science republican would have kept the ssc if only for the boundangle , not caring about the science or fiscal responsibility.
You don't plan a murder and get a Concealed permit. And increase in accident and murder is not instantaneous. Firstly you have to separate "first holder" of gun, and already holder of gun getting a CHP to conceal carry. For rise in murder it is a bit complicated : I do not expect a huge rise in murder if those new licensee are not new gun owner (e.g. they had gun before but now are CHP holder). I do expect more accident and a slight increase of murder (if only because having a gun in some situation may cause escalation and use).
"How many murders and shootings were committed by those unvetted CCW holders? I will guess zero." the huge part of accident, suicide and murder is about *owning* a gun, not having it conceal carry. Conceal carry only increase the probability of usage in some situation, not a huge increase above "owning a gun". As for your nearly zero, you are pulling it out of thin air - not to say from your ass. Without proper study and statistic over a few year , nobody can know the impact now.
As in a lex legis right. That right may not be the *student* right. It seems counter intuitive but some right are imposed on the whole as a restriction to protect people. e.g. the right of school until you are 16 , would probably not being recognized as a right by the kids, rather as an imposition, on their freedom, but it is definitively a right.
Yes MS from 2018 is not MS from 1998, but mostly due to competition, not on their own accord. Proof of that is the shenanigan they still do in the amrket they are more or less de facto monopolist : the OS. Furthermore point 1 cn be painted in a dimmer light as "embrace and extend then extinguish" which has always been their toolbox, as for point 8 i am sorry, what OEM license competition ?
