Well, that depends - has she testified to any of this mail business while under oath in a deposition, a court of law, or a congressional hearing? If not, then it's not perjury - it's lying to the press, which is the mainstay of American politics.
I don't believe there has been any official under-oath testimony yet. We'll see what she says when there is, but I'll bet it happens as a sealed deposition so we still won't hear it.
"Classified" as in "this document or information holds a classification, such as secret, top secret, etc."
I'm sure there are classifications that are "don't put this in a press release" but hardly endanger national security. As with all things, context is key.
Yeah, because a government institution granting a contract to a company to successfully build and deliver a product and service is clearly a failure of the free market.
You tried to be clever, and it didn't work. Now, if there were companies that just had warehouses full of spec-perfect rockets laying around and the government did what they did, you might have an argument. But that wasn't the case. There was all of one provider (ULA) and they were not able to provide the number of launches needed. So the government awarded contracts to other providers, who are now delivering.
Yeah, because the Hubble Space Telescope, which is probably the most important tool for scientific discovery created in the 20th Century, hasn't revealed any tangible benefits whatsoever, and absolutely hasn't expanded humanity's knowledge of the universe by orders of magnitude.
Hubble Space Telescope: launched, and serviced way past it's intended lifetime, by Shuttle.
Yeah, Communism is fantastic. Except one variable that is left out: human nature.
Every single time that utopian planning has been tried, it has always failed to corruption, because human beings are fallible and eventually will do what they need to for themselves and their close relations, over strangers.
That's why "communism looks good on paper" but failed every single place it's ever been put into practice. The theory can't ever be realized because the actors are selfish pricks, just like the rest of humanity.
I really don't understand this idea that it's morally wrong to choose to reinvest profits into the business, rather than stuff it in a mattress or bank account. Growth is a good thing - it increases employment, and through that increases taxes paid, which increases the amounts of money available to build infrastructure, and help people that need it. You know, like Social Security, which is entirely funded by payroll tax.
Where did this idea come from that a successful business that chooses to expand is some evil idea?
What is "morally wrong" about choosing not to put money in the bank, and instead using any and all revenue for expenses, lowering costs, expanding business, and R&D?
That's just called making a business decision, and morality has the square root of jack shit to do with it.
Exactly this. I have no idea why anyone would buy anything that Google sells that isn't directly related their search business. And if Google buys someone that produces something you already own, you had better start looking for a replacement - when they discontinue something, they aren't content with simply ending sales and sending it to some legacy support contract like any other company - they want to burn the product down and piss on the ashes.
And it's convenient the whole parent company rename, so they can do shit like this without tarnishing the 'Google' name on a wide scale.
Remember when proper nouns would be capitalized? There's only one Internet, regardless of certain nations' efforts. As there is only one, 'Internet' is a proper noun, and should be capitalized.
If you think this is the first step, you must have missed the late 70s, the 80s, the 90s, and the 00s.
Detroit has been getting crushed by Europe and Japan for quite some time now, with the lone exception being pick-up trucks. And there's still no electric answer to the F-150, which is by far the highest selling vehicle by volume, shifting 4 million more units than even the VW Golf.
Do all those people need trucks? Maybe not, but I'm not a communist and neither are they, so I don't get to tell them what they can or cannot buy.
I was interested in this car until I saw that they turned the gauge cluster into a tablet in the center of the dash. I don't want to take my eyes off the road by looking sideways to make sure that my fast electric car isn't speeding. Especially since you don't get audio feedback of how many RPMs your engine is turning, etc.
Mini putting the speedo over there was stupid, this is more stupid. Also, why mold the front to look like there should be an opening for a grille, but have no grille? Did they forget to cut it out and install one? Yes, I know that an electric vehicle doesn't need a grille, but it also doesn't need to have the front cowl shaped like there should be one there.
I'm no expert on salary and compensation, but I'd guess that a $9B legal windfall would not be completely devoured by whatever paychecks these guys take home. Unless the trial goes on for about 1,000 years.
How is that not explicitly spelling out what CPU you are getting in an EC2 instance? The only instance class that they don't explicitly say what you are running on is the absolute cheapest "burstable" T2-class. Every other one is quite explicit.
No, not on the TV. Now you can do your own annoying ridiculous CNN zooming touch maps that you mis-tap and bring up information that isn't germane to what you're talking about, but in your own conference room!
There is more than enough U238 to be bred into fissile material to last for hundreds of years, and even without breeder reactors the current "known" uranium deposits are based on surveys that stopped being done due to having a known 80 year supply. We find more Uranium today while looking for other things than we do purposefully looking for it - Uranium is more common than Nickel.
Why explore for more material that doesn't need to be found because you already have decades worth at any anticipated usage rate?
Just stop with the easily disproven FUD already. It's why nobody takes you seriously. Point out the actual problems with nuclear power, instead of this nonsense.
Yeah, and technically solar won't last either - the sun will eventually die.
That doesn't mean that we should just stop using it. We've got plenty of Uranium to bridge us to better technologies and get the fuck away from coal and oil. Stop with the drive-by FUD.
The last line of your post is probably the most important: the best part about molten-lead eutectic reactors? They actually exist. Russia has been using them in their nuclear navy for years.
It's not pie-in-the-sky technology that is still 10+ years from having a demonstrator built. It's something we know works.

Free market, working as designed.

You do know that there are plenty of non-Communist socialist republics that are members of NATO, right?

strangely, this President does pick what laws to enforce, and which not to.

Fly a shit airline, get shit service.
This should be a surprise to absolutely nobody.
I had the TSA confiscate my shaving cream because clearly I could have lathered up some critical flight control.
Complete horseshit.

87/100 is still a fraction.
Until such time that Amazon explicitly spells out what CPU you are getting in a EC2 instance, it's highway robbery
*ahem* Take your FUD elsewhere. 5 seconds with Google results with: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ins...

Zing!
In 1939 they were.
I guess I'm surprised that mdsolar gets 1 in 5 picked, when we all wish it was closer to 1 in 20.
Yes, every once in a while he posts something worth talking about. Broken clock cliche.
