  1. They are not afraid of Trump because they have powers like not handing over the names.

  2. Congress can pass laws that mandate the existence of agencies.

  3. He makes a lousy case for there not being the possibility of anyone feeling like picking one of the projects back up choosing instead to focus on the fact that they merely exist.

    It's worked for software because nobody ever tried pinning big enough problems to a flaw in a piece of software to sue. You would think maybe medical equipment software, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and others mention no lawsuit, either succeeding or failing. Strange.

    That's to be determined court case by court case. Not much different than before.

  6. So there are projects around that aren't in a finished state. Sounds like things someone can find opportunities for.

  7. Yeah, they should do a DNA lookup with Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Oracle, and/or Red Hat, non-exclusive baggage. Gotta get the DNA lookup software from somewhere!

    If the economy is worse now, then Amazon and other companies may be more justified in paying less. The people talking about this aren't really bringing up the situation these companies find themselves in.

  9. Violence and murder have profound effects on people that anarchy does not necessarily have.

  10. People are jumping past the questions as to whether the economy is worse now than in the past and why, to whether Amazon and other companies are paying what they should.

  11. violence, anarchy, and murder

    One of these things is not like the other.

  12. Re: Restaurant water on Uber Is Treating Its Drivers As Sweated Labor, Says Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I drink soda from gas stations and grocery stores just fine. But whenever I drink anything with restaurant water in it, including plain water, I have a negative reaction.

    There are reasons for that extra cost that are intended to protect the public over time (both customers and non-customers).

    The comment you are replying to doesn't appear to think those protections are manifesting themselves. If you are taking the same chance whether the restaurant is regulated or unregulated, or worse, there's more of a chance at the restaurant that is supposedly obeying the regulations, those regulations aren't worth anything.

    Why? People accept this proposition as a matter of faith and I don't see anybody backing it up with concrete evidence.

  15. Brave New World was written when they still had elevator operators.

  16. The government needs to come in with an engineering team and lay down the law as to how things will go from now on. Not going to happen, but all this other stuff won't work, so I might as well throw this out there now. The AI apocalypse can't happen soon enough.

  17. There are no good US presidents. The presidency is a sham office. But if you want Biblical proof, Jesus said there is none good but God.

  18. No. Intellectual property should be abolished.

  19. Sorry, but that's not how this works. You are supposed to provide counter facts that demonstrate he is wrong.

  20. I hear the Tin Woodsman did some "very interesting" things with an axe.

    Feed off as in unable to have outsiders look at their stuff and go, "Hmm, if you just made this little tweak..."
