I have more options for natural gas providers than internet, and I even live in a competitive area, with two cable providers plus the usual DSL and so on.
My understanding is that the current precedent is that the fourth amendment doesn't apply at the border. With a new law explicitly dealing with this border situation, any precedential mushy interpretation of the fourth is irrelevant. If they write it tightly, the justices won't have a way to creatively interpret it, either. We'll see how it goes...
There used to only be so much available at any one time, so TV shows were more valuable. Now, that you can stream on demand content at will, and shows essentially never become unavailable, there's more content available for viewing than time to watch it. 'Water cooler' talking about episodes as they air has dropped slowly down to Game of Thrones with the occasional bout of The Walking Dead or Downtown Abbey at my workplace. They'd have to go on strike an awfully long time before anyone noticed.
Eh... I work in contract research and we've never felt pressure to fudge results. If the clients product doesn't do what they want we still get paid. We are happy to help them get it working for a fee, too. Maybe some small outfits are willing to bend results, but I've only heard of that happening in QC labs run by the same company testing their products for release.
Eh... disagree. Even when they were trying to write non-fiction, you still get lots of fictional tall tales in Herodotus. I don't think the populace was reading Xenophon and Thucydides. Religious texts are full of fictional elements. Even shooting more for your time range, Canterbury Tales isn't non-fiction or presented as such.
I am not sure it is giving voice to the millions, it is allowing them to parrot the voice of the original conspiracy theorist. He's the pastor of the church and your drunk uncle on Facebook is merely sharing the sermon. Just now it gets further than the backwoods revival tent.
Sure... but it is hard to say that climate change is scientifically controversial, just politically controversial. Treating all opinions as equally valid ends up propping up, say, 'vaccines cause autism' arguments that don't hold water.
So.. if various data breaches and other online information gets indexed and allows for at-will doxxing of anyone, with a wiki of things to shame them... would it stop having an effect? You'd have twitter bots auto-shaming everyone on the internet.
Oh, it is super useful. For example, you cited climatology as being a useful science. We can use paleontology to inform us of changes in the biosphere in the past which we can correlate with what we can tell about the climate in the past. This knowledge is then presently applicable. If we know what ocean acidification did in the past (mass extinction) then we can decide that it is worth worrying about now.
I could have the timeline wrong, but I recall hearing a hypothesis that sapiens had domesticated dogs and Neanderthals had not, which would be a tremendous advantage competitively.
I was under the impression that marsupials did not evolve as a result of Australia's climate but were instead driven extinct elsewhere due to competition from placental mammals, which evolved later, and largely did not migrate to Australia until humans brought them. Likewise why Australia still has a few monotremes kicking around. Do you have references? I'm genuinely curious, not being pedantic.
But that's the thing... you don't need any of the content. It is want only. If I was truly interested in originals to all the streaming services, Netflix and Amazon have already embraced binge watching. I enjoy Game of Thrones and will rejoin HBO Now when it comes back. In between episodes, I intend to binge Westworld, which sounds right up my alley, but HBO doesn't have enough content to keep me around the whole year. Once GoT is over with I'll drop HBO Now again. This makes it a hard market to break into. Amazon bundles their streaming with their shipping benefits to get you to keep it year round, Netflix has built a massive library so you don't run out of things to watch. Since they don't own the pipes it is easy to switch content provider, you don't have to wait for the cable man to switch you over.
I am lucky that the OTA fills most of my interest in live sports, as well as being perfectly adequate for breaking news, but for shows its faults are fairly glaring if you'd gotten used to a DVR and then streaming... you actually have to know when the shows begin and time your breaks for when the commercials are on. It quickly becomes tedious versus changing what shows you watch. When we still had cable we really enjoyed Life in Pieces but since we cut the cord I can't say we've managed to catch an episode.
As things mature a bit more I would imagine Netflix and Amazon will syndicate each other's older shows. That's how the cable channels fill their timeslots, with old Friends reruns and so on. That's why the types of shows suitable for such syndication (half hour comedies) also are the least serialized, as it makes them more friendly for syndication. A channel surfer can pick up a random episode of Big Bang Theory more easily than Fringe.
I take it from your post you're not a scientist? I will assume you're an engineer for designing an analogy. If I have a meter stick, that it is a meter can be 'settled' even if our degree of certainty as to how precisely it is a meter is in question. If it is to be used for framing a house, we probably don't even need to check. If we're going to use it to build a machine, then we have to see about measuring its degree of precision. This research showed that while we were correct about how platelets are generated, the progenitor cells can migrate to the lungs. While we have a more precise view than we did before, the previous view is still essentially correct on the important points. Similarly, it can be settled that we have a common ancestor with dogs, even if the precision of our dating for the common ancestor is under frequent revision. This is how science can still be both settled and subject to change.
Well, no... your tissues will be regenerated with various stem cells like normal repair. You've just cleaned out the cruft of the senescent cells. If you had no stem cells and all your cells were senescent, you'll be dead in a week whether you kill them with a treatment like this or not.
And yet humans produce variable amounts of ADH, even within the same person depending on what is going on with them... so you can't calculate anything meaningful to the precision you're asking for.

If they do that then the wired carriers will be competing with the metered wireless carriers, where there is more competition.

They were just making sure it got backed up!

There's a meaningful difference between provisional knowledge and solipsism.
I guess it isn't terribly creative, but complaining about Paint's name is like complaining about Notepad... it'd be more confusing if they renamed it.

So it is a cache that sits on the motherboard somewhere instead of the HDD?
They make more shows than HBO does so you don't cancel your sub in between Westworld and Game of Thrones.

Depleting your stem cells to yield improved organ function is a net positive for your life span, however.
If you ate it maybe... the parent's point is that smoke is bad for you, same for fine dust. Source doesn't matter as much.
