The FCC (or whomever) should dictate that broadband is a protected right...
A "right" is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man's freedom of action in a social context. (Rand).
Please explain how "dictating" relates to "freedom of action."
There's a town near me that has refused to allow construction of a cell tower. Not all impediments to the spread of technology are the fault of business.
Did you have to think a great deal to write something so stupid, or was the process of thought not involved at all?
Earth does not have a brain or a nervous system. It can no more suffer than a rock, a cup of soup, or a bowl of vegetables can suffer - Sylvester the cat notwithstanding.
The area of the Earth is about 128 billion acres. Sufficiently aggressive use of non-"green revolution" agriculture could feed much more than the current population (where "sufficiently aggressive" includes covering the oceans with farm-barges and growing only the most productive food crops.)
About 50 years ago Isaac Asimov pointed out that at the then-current rate of population growth, in about 6000 years the entire mass of the universe would be people. That constitutes a hard limit on the number of people the planet can support.
I know you're joking, but...
Reducing atmospheric nitrogen does not increase the partial pressure of oxygen. Astronauts use low pressure atmospheres with roughly the same partial pressure of oxygen as seen on the earth's surface.
Smaller, more efficient internal combustion engines would be possible.
I've occasionally had a process (usually firefox) use 100% of one core. cpulimit solves the problem, although it would be a nuisance to try to apply cpulimit proactively.
You should educate yourself. A lot of the minor ingredients are vitamins, minerals, and other supplements that you might buy in pill form to improve your health or correct a deficiency.
At today's interest rates, there is very little reason to keep money in a savings account unless it gives you some advantage in dealing with the bank. Bank failure or government seizure of your assets in a bank is not impossible. You should keep a supply of cash on hand sufficient to handle your needs if the next-most-liquid deposit of wealth fails.
When the top 2 are from the same party it's an indication that the area in question is already too corrupt to recover in a reasonable period of time, say 50 years. Look at Boston.
You haven't been following the news. Russia is already taking steps that indicate an intention to engage in WWIII in a few months. Putin isn't fool enough to wait until he's attacked.
FWIW, H. Clinton has already helped start wars in the Middle East.
In much of California, there's seldom enough cold weather to damage roads. As you point out, deep freezing the ground is bad for roads. Come visit New Hampshire when the "FROST HEAVES" signs dot the roadsides, or in the spring when many roads are forbidden to heavy trucks lest they tear up weakened roadways.

As of 2014, there were 46.5 million food stamp (or equivalent) recipients. Don't try to tell me "there are a few free loaders."
Just what is it that you think investing is?

The Day of the Triffids is the standard in the carnivorous plant genre, and Wyndham's novel is generally regarded as being among the best.

Pointing to "distribution" as the problem glosses over the fact that repressive governments prevent distribution of food to their enemies.
Improved nitrogen fixation allowing reduced use of expensive (and in some cases energy-intensive) fertilizer is a big deal, and should be encouraged.

Intelligence tends quite well to go along with income. There as also a weaker but positive agreement between wealth and intelligence.

The war was already over by the time DEC Alpha came in view. Motorola was the one that had Intel beat, and failed to follow up on their advantage.
This is why bathrooms should be designed with either a sink or a bathtub next to the toilet.
There are still bottles of Odwalla products spread far and wide - or are you too young to remember that disaster?

Who is in control of New Orleans, where a heavy rain floods the city? Who embezzled funds meant to build up the sea walls?
"If you believe communism is a good thing, then you believe Trump will be bad for the US" is true in several different ways.
HR uses coded language to indicate what's going on. Consider this:
"You'll be lucky to get him to work for you."
The counters also have to either consist of, or be monitored by, representatives of all interested parties.
Sure they could have. But in case of doubt, those ballots can be hand counted.
