So they ban exports to Fujian, but not purchasing and importing from the same company? Did I miss something in the announcement underneath all the chest-thumping?
The Dodo was named "walgvogel" ("disgusting bird") by the Dutch because its flesh tasted awful. They wiped out the entire species because it was so easy (it feared no predators) and, er, just because.
The irony is that the egg yolk of the Dodo contained a unique protein that suppressed the growth of many forms of cancer. Oh well.
Yes, I made that up. But consider the idea that species that we've eradicated could have been more valuable than as targets, dinner or apparel.
Talk about refusing to see! Two Supreme Court justices in place, tax cuts passed, an economy doing quite well and soon overcoming Democrats in a non-presidential year that was supposed to be theirs.
Trump can be effective. The tax cuts are essentially for the rich and for businesses; his real base. The cuts for the middle class (his fake base) last long enough to get him re-elected. Part of the SCOTUS victories are due to Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee parking Merrick Garland's nomination up their ass. It would have happened no matter who got elected. As far as Blue or Red wave in Nov, who knows. Either way, I'll be voting illegally early and often, and there's nothing tweetie-pie can do about it. Thank god for mail-in ballots. I'm calling it a diarrhea wave.
Perhaps the most interesting idea from the article is "Russia is not believed to be running as sophisticated an influence effort as China because of Mr. Trump’s apparent affinity for President Vladimir V. Putin, a former official said." That is, Mr. Xi can only dream of being like Putin. So, instead Xi needs spy tactics to learn which Americans to taint, but Putin can talk to his American friend directly.
I disagree with the article. I think the Russian influence is based in social media, and (IMHO) is a sophisticated influence effort that has been going on for years. The Chinese effort is a "top-down" approach: influence the few rich & powerful people that influence Trump. The Russians are using a bottom-up approach: influence the less astute but more numerous voters. Make up in shear numbers what you lack in precision. Kinda makes sense from the folks that gave us the RDS-220 Tsar Bomba.

You, having never read the constitution (and just astroturfing with your canned talking points), miss that the 10th amendment delegates constitutional authorities, not regulatory authorities to the states. In short, you're an ignorant, lying shill.
You could represent your opinion better and lend an even greater air of credence by not being so abusive and dismissive.
Pai and the FCC had no authority under 47 CFR to declare that data is voice.
IMHO a demonstration of House and Senate abrogating their responsibilities for crafting law, forcing Supreme Court do the work of Congress. On the other hand the current congress would be glad to declare broadband as a private service not requiring government regulation nor should any be permitted.
It's already becoming a squalid hell because of rampant, unmitigated, 3rd world invasion on the border of every western nation.
I hear Canada is ready to build a wall of empty Molson's bottles along the border to keep out the Americans who want to escape the devastation and now qualify as third-worlders.
I use spray-on sunscreen all the time. Why are you saying it doesn't do anything?
Must have been a typo. It actually does work, just not for the advertised or intended purpose of screening your skin from the sun. It does, however, keep you from being shat upon by passenger pigeons. Guaranteed. It's also a mild cognitive dyslexia stimulant, so it will ability your enhance to rismead docuportant implants.
... I predict the proliferation of Augmented Reality keyboards, which use an AR display to show a virtual keyboard anywhere, not just on real surfaces. Your hands will be wearing haptic gloves which resist movement of your fingers, giving tactile feedback and avoiding fatigue.
Or, keyboards will be replaced with subvocalized dictation/voice control for non-programming tasks.
The AR approach makes sense to me to, but why bother with gloves. Superimpose the keyboard image onto the table in front of me. As I type, the cameras (one on each side of the glasses) should be able to detect when my finger hits the table surface.
The feedback for subvocalized control (uh, huh, ooh, ah) needs to be female with a Proper British voice: "oh my god. don't stop. that's it, slow. ok, now deeper. ohhhh myyyyy godddddd". Please don't ask which regional variation. Make it sound like Emma Thomson.

Let's just assume that no amount of machine learning, artificial intelligence or anticipatory pattern matching can handle my typical thought processes (need sex, any espresso left? what time is it? gotta check slashdot, shit my feet hurt, wow need to trim fingernails, was that a mouse?) nor I'm guessing what goes on in the minds of many other developers.
Security? Yea, this is West Gate. We've got an Amazon package here that says "Auto-ordered by Alexa" to be delivered to Oval Office. It has a bottle of something called Aricept. Can you come get it? Thanks.
I'm (obviously) not a biologist. Is there such a thing as a binary virus, either naturally occurring or engineered. Is it even within the realm of possibility?
Like a binary nerve agent, each individual virus is relatively harmless. Each one by itself wouldn't raise a flag. Authorities might not even consider it a worthy endeavor to develop a vaccine. If they did, most people wouldn't feel the need to get inoculated. Only when a person contracts the second does it become fatal.

I say, use the batteries to create a plasma or big arc instead of the friggin' laser for the bong.
My x- wife bought one of these. Should I be concerned?
Great value and great for hauling dead bodies. No more bloody mess either. Leaving no trace of any corpse in your trunk!
People who bought this, also bought:
...snipsnip...
Duck Tape
Hydrofluoric acid. Or maybe not.
I can't tell which set of statistics are wrong here. The first or the second or the coming third article?
80% of the first 1/3 of the articles contain numbers, three-quarters of which are off by 65%, plus or minus 3 standard deviation radishes.
Well, You know the rest.....
Yep. Just goes to show ya, you can be smart (or lucky) about some things and downright dumb about other things. "A mans got to know his limitations"

Actually, no.

Good point.
This was the fourty-second of an endless number of their experiments on us humans.

Woosh
Well at least somebody gets it. A few moderators with axes to grind sure didn't.

thanks for that ray of sunshine, bub.
I'll come back and mod this up when I get some points.

HP are now in the business of murdering cows.
To make matters even worse, they're moderate, non-partisan, centrist cows. Truly a dying species.

whatwhatwhat? Crap. So much for my one original thought for this year.
Which episode BTW?
7. Previously unobserved 2-dimensional high-energy particle. Can only be detected if observed precisely edge-on, or maybe face-on.
