If the job required it, no problems. As a personal choice, no. Note that Hillary had the choice - she didn't have to be SecState if she found the job conditions too onerous. But obviously she liked the power more than she disliked the job conditions, and intended to ignore the job conditions anyway.
How would you feel about having your private email on a government server?
And this is why, when I worked for the government, I didn't do private email from work.
Musk believes he can launch and maintain a constellation of 4,000 satellites in low earth orbit and still make a profit while others are pursuing simpler and cheaper broadband solutions, which can be deployed more rapidly and with less environmental impact and no one sees a problem in this?
So, who is paying for this?
If the answer is "Elon Musk", why should anyone care how he spends his money?
If the answer is the US Government, then we might care enough to vet the idea before investing.
Meanwhile, this guy essentially lost a month of his life (I'm sure this guy didn't get much of anything done in that time).
Why should he have been worried for a month? He knew perfectly well he was innocent. Unless he'd been banging the victim, there was no way the DNA match was going to come back positive (other than him having an identical twin who was a serial killer). It's not like he was all "ohmygod they've finally found me out!!! I'm going to go to prison!!!!!"....
If you are referring to the DNA clearing the guy -- then yes the 'system worked'.
No, I am referring to the whole "got a warrant, executed it, etc" process. Unlike, say, GCHQ or NSA, they didn't break the law in the process of investigating this guy. There was no miscarriage of justice to be found - he was a suspect, they determined (using legal means) that he wasn't the perp, done.
After a mere two centuries, even the Catholic Church had to admit the world is NOT in the center of the universe.
I gather you're not aware that Copernicus was working for a Bishop of the Catholic Church?
A century and a half later, it even apologized for it's treatment of the late Galileo!
Of course, what they were apologizing for was trying Galileo for the crime of calling the Pope an idiot in his book.
No, Galileo wasn't being tried for heliocentrism, even nominally, he was tried for asserting heliocentrism without PROOF.
Note, however, that the actual reason the Pope was butthurt over Galileo is that Galileo put a character into his book explaining heliocentrism named "simpleton", which character was, from internal clues, clearly meant to be the Pope.
Then they executed the warrant, gathered a DNA sample, and tested it.
Sample came back as not matching, so they removed the suspect from their list of suspects.
So, what's the problem here? They checked out a lead (using legal methods, like a warrant), found it went nowhere, and continued the investigation into other possible leads....
The primal roots of suicide are buried in religion and thoughts of an after-life. The sooner people wake up to that fact and seek to correct it, the better.
Oddly enough, most religions do not predict a pleasant afterlife for suicides.
Price floors only cause surpluses if the price floor is above the market rate. A price floor of zero can't be above market rate, pretty much by definition.
Wouldn't you expect them to say "It's gotten x degrees warmer every year" for some value of x?
Unfortunately, that value "x" would be somewhere below 0.02 based on the last 35 years of so of global (note the "global" - I have no clue what FL's temps have done in the same time frame) temperature changes.
You won't frighten a lot of people by saying "it's a 50th of a degree warmer than last year, you fool!!!".
In the US, you pay taxes on just owning property, even if you are just holding it and have no expected profit.
No, in the US you pay taxes on Real Estate. Which is a type of property to be sure, but it's not ALL property.
For instance, I own several computers, a lot of clothes, furniture, etc. No taxes for owning any of that. My house, on the other hand, I pay taxes for owning.
Treating Copyright like Real Estate isn't an unreasonable idea in and of itself. But it sets the precedent for expanding the definition of Real Estate to other things that would affect the rest of us....
There is a whole lot of evidence that the earth is not the center of the Universe.
Well, only insofar as the "center of the Universe" isn't defined under our current cosmology.
Do note that, under General Relativity, the equations work out just fine if you assume that Earth is the stationary center of the Universe and everything else revolves around it.
The equations also work out if you assume Sedna is the center of the Universe.
Or your belly button, for that matter. Relativity is interesting that way....
The real question is why focus on PR instead of actually fixing the cultural issues that make rape okay in India?
You focus on PR when you're a democratic politician (note the lower case 'd', I'm not talking a political party here) and you know perfectly well that the real problem will take three generations to fix. Talking about three generation long solutions doesn't get you reelected.
The constitution mentions baring arms as part of an organised militia, but that doesn't seem to be what they are trying to do.
No, the Constitution does not. It mentions the militia as the REASON that "the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed", and that's all.
Note that even if it did, the Militia Act (which is still in force), REQUIRES every able-bodied man to own a firearm suitable for militia use. Which would be a selective-fire M4/M16 equivalent these days (you want common ammo and magazines, so my mini-14 (5.56 also, but not magazine-compatible with the M16) wouldn't cut the mustard.
So, if you want to translate "shall not be infringed" to apply only to the militia, tell me, do YOU own the firearm you are required to own as part of the militia (which you are, by definition)?
The driver uses a joystick to control a robot arm which grabs and dumps each container. If you position your trash can where the robot arm can't grab it (like putting it too close to another trash can), then your trash doesn't get picked up that week.
I recently had occasion to be awake insanely early and was shocked to discover that we have the same sort of thing here. I would never have suspected it, have never heard anything about it on the news.
It's possible that the vehicle I saw was an isolated case, though. Perhaps they bought one or two to try them out before making a larger purchase (or not).
Unless your link is bad, what you read there is NOT "these rules". It is a description of what the "rules" are meant to accomplish.
And even if these are the "rules" you think they are, note that they specifically set aside the question of how to actually pay for this regulation for discussion at a later time.
For the record, I'm pretty much indifferent to the whole issue, as long as it doesn't increase my monthly internet bill. Though I do find myself curious how you can have tiered service (pay X for Ymbits/sec throughput, or pay 2X for twice that) under these guidelines, since they explicitly disallow paying extra for faster service.
Also for the record, I expect that within a year, it WILL increase my monthly internet bill. I've never met a bureaucrat yet that didn't like a few more dollars of taxes collected.

This statement is just as valid for an Atheist. If ceasing to exist is better than living, then you're ready to die.
Note that your seriously suicidal Christian will be thinking "if I kill myself, the afterlife will be WORSE than simple nonexistance"....
The latter report was by two gun control groups. It would have been overestimating the figures to make their point more significant.

Before running any test, ask yourself what you're going to do if the test succeeds. Then ask yourself what you're going to do if the test fails.
If they're the same thing, then don't run the test.
In other words, if you're going to ignore the dog, don't bother with the dog.

Pretty much everyone who mentions "hate speech" as an issue. Which, of course, includes the governments of every country with hate speech laws....
Unfortunately, that value "x" would be somewhere below 0.02 based on the last 35 years of so of global (note the "global" - I have no clue what FL's temps have done in the same time frame) temperature changes.

Please note that higher prices is NOT the same as inflation.

Luckily, I don't live in CT. Nor is CT synonymous with "the US".
Fortunately, most of us in the US do NOT pay property tax on motor vehicles....
No, in the US you pay taxes on Real Estate. Which is a type of property to be sure, but it's not ALL property.
For instance, I own several computers, a lot of clothes, furniture, etc. No taxes for owning any of that. My house, on the other hand, I pay taxes for owning.

It's being built 20 miles outside Karachi. Describing it as being 'in Karachi' is like describing something in Covington as being 'in New Orleans'.
And for those who don't live in the area, Covington is across Lake Ponchartrain from New Orleans.
This whole business reminds me of the arguments over whether ulcers were caused by stress or bacteria.
Turned out to be that some were caused by the one, and some by the other (about 1/3 of ulcers can be "cured" by taking the appropriate antibiotics).
Maybe, by and by, we'll find that some obesity is caused by the wrong gut bacteria, and some by bad habits.
Disclaimer: I've been moderately overweight. And I've been thin. Never was much trouble going from the one to the other and back.

On the other hand, humans and dinosaurs cohabit right now. I'm looking at a Cyanocitta cristata (bluejay) out my back window right now.
Yes, bluejays are dinosaurs, at least since they moved Aves into Dinosauria.
Which makes the fundies right for the wrong reasons. It would drive them even more crazy if you pointed out that birds evolved from dinosaurs, eh?
Chemical weapons are WMD's. Whether they should be so included or not is debatable, but they ARE listed as a type of WMD.
And there is no doubt whatsoever that Saddam was using chemical weapons on his Kurdish population.
In other words, yes, there were WMD's.
