The biggest use of corn in the US isn't for livestock feed, instead it's used to make ethanol for the tree huggers. Maybe that will stop when all the trees are dead.
The problem isn't fake news on social media. The problem is that major news sites gave up being subtle with their bias and went on an all out attack against Trump.
Everyone expects that kind of reporting from places like Huff Post, USAToday, MSNBC, and Drudge Report. But this time sites like the Washington Post, NYT, and CNN stopped pretending to report facts and published nothing but attacks; the worse their "reporting" got the more frustrated they became as readers increasingly ignored what was obvious BS. They're trying to blame the BS that was circulating on Facebook for influencing people, but their real problem is that their own voices faded away.
NYT and WaPo both list all credibility this election cycle. Pretty much everything they published was anti-Trump opinion. NYT admitted it, the Post is still in denial.
And it is the influence that these fake stories have, not the quantity of them, which is important.
Democrats lost this election because the DNC screwed it up at every step.
Anointing the most unpopular candidate they could find instead of letting voters select one.
Encouraging people to vote for Trump in the primary.
Organizing protests against Trump that backlashed by motivating his supporters.
Ignoring states that would decide the election.
Spending too much time talking about issues that aren't relevant to most voters (e.g. Hillary's glass ceiling instead of the economy)
Diplomatic sources in Beijing and Washington have confirmed that Beijing, aware of the high stakes for bilateral ties, has been following the election campaign closely and trying to maintain regular contact with both candidates, Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump, through their campaign teams and other channels.
Trump's staff was also in touch with China!!! And Mexico! I'll bet even Canada and New Jersey were in on it.
Trump and Bush didn't waste time and money campaigning in California or New York after the primaries so of course Clinton and Gore ran up big margins there; but those margins (and the total popular vote) don't mean anything. The small margin in popular votes Hillary and Gore had is an indication that they misjudged where to campaign, not that the electoral college is broken.
The profit incentive disappears once taxes reach 100%.
The incentive becomes increasing small as taxes go up. As the incentive (net profit) goes down the number of businesses will go down. Who in their right mind would run a business if the return was too small to make a difference in their lifestyle?
However I'd argue that in the long term it's not even about the will of the companies, they'll be forced to
That is the biggest flaw in the UBI argument; that taxes can rise to a level which would support your UBI. They can't,for two reasons: 1) there simply isn't enough money to go around, and 2) when taxes get too high the profit incentive disappears and people won't want to operate businesses.
The alternative to no private industry is communism. And we've seen how that has turned out every time it's been attempted. Because again, there is no incentive to work.
They filled in questionnaires about their health, lifestyle and educational attainment and had a physical checkup between 1997 and 1999.
They did examine the subjects at the start of the study, and assessed their level of "health anxiety". The goal was to determine if people who worry about their health have more heart problems, all other things being equal - and the answer was yes.
The next question is whether that stress causes heart problems or whether the subjects had some kind of premonition based on what they knew or what their body was telling them. The important finding is that a higher level of health anxiety is a symptom itself and should be taken seriously.
43 percent of app developers spend between 10 and 25 percent of their time debugging application errors discovered in production
That seems like an odd metric, but it doesn't surprise me. Production support has always been expensive. Especially if you can't create a full production-like environment with real world data and stupid users to test with.
Where did you get either of those? In almost every country in the world you are identified by the class you were born into. That can be identified by your race, language, tribe, religion, whatever. It's everywhere.
The Sun's axis is not perpendicular to the plane of the known planets' orbits. Whether it's the Sun or the plane that's tilted is a philosophical question.
Nah. The problem is that graphic designers are mostly young with very good eyesight, and are more concerned with aesthetics than actually making something useful.
Four years ago it was perfectly okay to report a prank that a bunch of high schoolers played on one of their friends as proof that Romney was unfit to be President.

That part of the world has very reliable trade winds. One wind turbine could generate several times as much power and would probably cost much less.
All the major new outlets are guilty of publishing opinion pieces as if they're real news. Maybe not totally made-up fake, but just as bad.
After much whining that fake news on Facebook swung the election, now the NYT is trying to discourage people from using social media at all.
Yup, stick to reliable journalists like them so you get the message they want you to get.

How many people were involved in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of flying robots a couple of decades ago?

Labor unions spend far more than "large-money donors and super-pacs". If you need a citation you can look it up yourself.

Being free from bias is not the same as saying that it is factually correct.
That depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

When I said "odd metric" I meant it sounded like a Yogi Berra comment: "Half of the game is 90% mental".
Why not say that on average, development organizations spend 5 to 10% of their time fixing production bugs?

"key is the development of a single record for a voter that aggregates all that is known about them".
If you don't think that data would come from Google you might be interested in a bridge I have for sale.

sustainable diets, with less beef
Give it up Vegans, cattle eat grass. Grass is very sustainable.
All they're doing is following the exchange rate for the British pound.
