but not in the cities. There it's smog, largely from cars stuck in traffic and (almost hilariously) idling in fast food drive thrus. You don't even have to question this. Apart from well publicized 'smog days' you can just drive outside any city and look at the smog cloud.
and mansions. Why do you think so few of them live in the cities, and why do you think rich folks tend to live so much longer? It ain't all that clean livin', let me tell you.
it's just coincidence that she's related to somebody/. hates. And I'm sure she was promptly replaced by somebody just as bad. I keep saying this, but if people want this to stop you need to get out there and vote these bums out.
when I was 10 I started programming. Single mom raising me (she was a Nurse) and few friends and I hit a wall pretty early on and stopped. The books at the library where all I had after all, and I didn't understand them. I picked it up again when I was 18 and did fine, but I'd lost 8 years. If I'd had stackoverflow I'd have had those 8 years.
My bro has a similar story but with his guitar. His teacher taught him bad technique. With the Internet he'd have known this and learned the right technique. He'd have been a better guitarist with the Internet.
Books are limited to the books you can get. They're hard to come by unless you're in a major city. You're at the mercy of whatever's in stock. There's catalogs, but you can't flip through a book in a catalog. And they're _expensive_. The Linux books I had back in the day were $50-$60 a pop for information I get free online now.
And this is before we talk about the political implications of a generation who grew up with the ability to google any little lie they're told when they're young. Imagine being 8 and finding out what Christopher Columbus was really like? How much less likely are to question authority when you grow up not just believing adults are full of shit but _knowing_ it?
You're looking at a few gossip sites and Facebook and writing the internet off. But the value of the Internet to somebody who wants to learn and isn't wealthy can't be overstated.
But I'm not sure I'm going to buy into a group that honors Hilary Clinton. They look like a right wing group crouched in left wing rhetoric. In any case if they're cosying up to Hilary then they belong to the wing of the party that the left is actively trying to purge (e.g. the corporate Democrats).
Still, good on you for finding them. Now if we can get them to understand they're doing more harm than good. But I'm guessing doing good isn't their goal. I'm guessing it's more about clamping down on prostitution without actually spending the money to help people who are forced into prostitution.
Or an explosives expert she probably would have done less damage. Contrary to what the internet would have you believe handling explosives isn't as easy as you think. Especially for crazy people. And a 120lb woman with a knife just isn't a threat.
Like everything else, guns are best when they're legal, taxed and regulated. We got the first two, it's time for #3.
the people complaining about sexy dancers weren't calling for sexy dancing to be illegal, they felt it had no place at a GDC party (e.g. an industry sponsored party for game developers). I asked you to find me a SJW who would ban prostitution. Keep trying.
that oppose prostitution. Care to point any out? I do know a lot that want more social services so women are much less likely to turn to prostitution. But they're all in the "Legal, Taxed & Regulated" crowd.
Now, I do know a lot of right wingers who enjoy seeing people punished for their mistakes. Bill O'Reilly and the whole Fox News crowd come to mind . I also know a lot of religious people who are convinced that if we don't get all this sinning under control God's going to wipe us out. Pat Robinson comes to mind. Let that last one sink in for a minute. If you're a sinner you're not just a bad person to these folks. You're an existent threat to their continued being. God's done it multiple times before (The Flood, Sodom/Gomorrah, etc), who's to say he won't do it again? He's changed his mind before...
There's already Federal bills working their way through Congress to preempt yours. Internet is a global thing, at the very least it needs to be regulated nationally.
Medicare for all saves us $17 trillion in the next 10 years.
College for all gives us an educated workforce, which unless you're all about the H1-B visas we need. An educated workforce is also one that thinks critically and is much less likely to to terrible things like pointless wars leading up to genocides and the like.
A living wage is what everyone is due. Roosevelt said it better than I ever could
And we don't need to cut spending on social programs. We need to end illegal wars and stop letting the 1% have the entirety of civilization's bounty. Again, remember that $17 trillion in savings from Medicare for all? We could pay off the national _debt_ with that.
go into biotech to replace the jobs NAFTA sent to Mexico. At least once a week I read how the sort of rank and file jobs that were supposed to have been created (the biotech equivalent to a code monkey) were replaced by some form of automation.
Oh, and the point of being in the 1% isn't conspicuous consumption, it's power. The good thing about being rich is the poor have to do what you say or they starve to death.
I mean, the article proving this is bullshit is still on the front page here. At best it's a minor inconvenience. Your phone's been owned 8 ways from Sunday. This crap from Comey is all just theater.
it's not like Russia cares much about security. We had tons of stories about these troll farms during the last election. They don't need to hide it. It's like the Nigerian scams. You want it to be a little obvious because you're not after people who can think their way through stuff.
things generally were awful before the scientific method took over. We called it the dark ages.
And re-read my post please. It's not the collection of facts themselves or the access. It's how it's all used together. It's how people become inquisitive. Questioning. Unwilling to accept authority because when authority gives them answers it's so easy to fact check those answers. Both superstition and faith require a person to be willing to accept things without evidence. That's how you get authoritarianism. It's how you get people to do things without questioning. Instant access to knowlege does away with that. You can't tell me lighting is God's wrath when I can google what lighting is in 30 seconds. It makes it harder and harder to appeal to a higher power in order to justify blind obedience. That can't help but be a good thing.
Also, you're falling back on a classic scam: Science can't prove everything therefore magic. Here is a much better explanation than I ever could give. While I don't agree with everything on that guy's channel, his points regarding reason and evidence are well founded.
The system was designed to give rural voters more weight in proportion to their population. It was put in place by wealthy landowners who were worried the more populace city dwellers would eventually demand more equitable distribution of wealth. This is also why Senators weren't elected at first.
is that people act on them, even when they're wrong (and yes, opinions can be wrong. It was the opinion of our founding fathers that Slavery was either good or at least tolerable).
In the last 20 years we've seen a lot of pretty opinions previously thought too barbaric to make a comeback gaining traction. We have a national judicial nominee who refused to go on record that Brown vs Board of education was right. Our last president supported torture and our current one thinks it's OK to murder civilians. In light of all this I think a reasonable person would start getting nervous at things that are 'only an opinion'.
just in case these home speaker things take off. The entire product was always very so-so. It lacks any reason to exist beyond listening to iTunes. It doesn't have much in the way of services to integrate into besides, well, google and Amazon.
and you're just a designer. As for 'Weaponized' internet, when I was a lad they called it propaganda. It hasn't changed. It hasn't even gotten easier.
Meanwhile the internet is doing one truly great thing: eliminating the concept of mysteries. Yeah, the baby boomer's don't get it, and even a lot of my gen, but my kid does. My kid knows that there is literally nothing in this world that is magic. Nothing that isn't a google search away from at least an _attempt_ at a scientific explanation. And at this point anything anyone who isn't a Steven Hawkins grade physicist can''t understand is pretty well explained. Tide goes in, tide goes out. It's a google search away.
More than anything else the end of superstition and ignorance is going to fix humanity. The only risk is that somebody who benefits from ignorance will put a stop to it all. But as long as that doesn't happen then folks are just plain going to get less and less dumb until they stop allowing the kind of dark age crap that's been going on since the Romans fell.
That's just not what happens. In practice you have single payer systems where doctors remain private but the government is the single payer (e.g. single insurer). This maintains the incentive to keep costs down. Meanwhile, and I know this sounds crazy, most doctors are good people who would prefer to permanently cure people. That's because they're close enough to their patients to see their suffering and empathize with them. We also spend a healthy chunk of their educational time encouraging them to believe this too (bordering on indoctrination to be honest).
Being a doctor is insanely hard work. To do it you have to love it for it's own sake. Nobody's going to make it through 8 years of medical school and 8 years of residencies just 'cause the money's good. You need a level of obsession that transcends money to pull that off (unless you're talking General Practitioners, but they just do OK).
A mixed system is fine, which is why most places do single payer. The point where the profit motive breaks the system is when it's time to pay doctors. That's not surprising. If you put biz people in charge of paying you give them an incentive to not pay. You fix that with single payer. As for your Doctors, you need to pay them well, but it doesn't take Rock Star money any more than you have to pay working musicians like that because Doctors _like_ being Doctors.
alive and cured them were made in Europe. Most of that kind of research is done in Europe because you can't get the US to pay for research that isn't profitable.
More money spent doesn't necessarily mean better outcomes when the point of that spending is to bring in profits on a short term scale. If anything most basic science is being done in Europe and the US is leaching off it that (much more valuable) science.
if we switched to Medicare for all. We could pay off the national _debt_ with that money. If you're a fiscal conservative you pretty much have to support Medicare for All.

doesn't mean they are better now. I wish I could get more people to understand this.

it's OK by me if the update has a lower percentage of BSODs. You can just add some more in a point release.

If you live in or near a major city there's one every couple weeks. No background checks whatsoever.

those are products that used innovations (metallurgy & oil refinery, chemistry and plastics, microcomputers, advanced radios and LCD screens).
Most of that tech was done by the government under the auspices of "military" spending.
