What you're missing is that humans aren't perfect. Compare our health and lifestyle today to what people had no more that 100 years ago (e.g. the 1918 Flu pandemic that killed millions of people). You can't expect every study to be done perfectly, there are reviews and occasionally retractions. But overall the progress has been tremendous.
Do I have the right to modify the Autosteer software on a Tesla I buy? Would anyone want to be on the road with me after I do so? Would anyone want to buy the car after I made the changes?
News reports like to say things like "He faces 80 years...". But he hasn't been convicted of anything yet, just charged with hundreds of crimes. When he's actually sentenced it'll probably be a plea bargain for something like 6 months.
I find it odd that the "growth mindset" instructors didn't have an equal effect on all students. Perhaps they were cutting Latino, African-American, and Native American students a break. Or maybe they made more of an effort to help them because they are minority students. It wouldn't surprise me if it was some of both.
That's not what BP said! They did not claim that renewable energy would dominate, they said renewable AND NATURAL GAS would dominate.
The CNBC article is poorly written. If you go directly to the BP Energy Outlook paper it appears to predict that renewables will account for over half of the increased energy demand - but not total power (as least that's how I read it).
Lead the homeless to the southern border. I'm sure Mexico would let them in without passports or visas and care for them. Or maybe not, because countries generally don't allow people to cross their borders without following immigration procedures, do they?
They never broached it because it had no chance. Both sides are posturing to make the other look bad in the run-up to 2020. At this point I think the Republicans are slightly ahead because they've reminded everyone why Pelosi was kicked out of the Speaker's chair eight years ago.
Cuomo is setting things up to run for President. His big selling point will be all the jobs he's brought to New York; he doesn't care how much those jobs will cost the state.
Bezos owns homes in lots of other places too, so I wouldn't attribute much to that statistic. As already said, negotiations go two ways, New York can back out if it wants but it can expect Amazon to walk away if it does. Maybe that's good for New York.
A right-of-way or easement through a piece of property is a nightmare waiting to happen; sounds like you dodged a bullet there.
I doubt the developer could have claimed adverse possession since the right-of-way was documented (so there was permission to use it, it wasn't adverse). Plus it would have delayed his project for years.
If I'd waited until a house was built and sold and then tried to assert my ownership of part of my neighbor's backyard, my lawyer says I may well have lost
Yup, that would put the burden on you to prove that the old fence was not marking the boundary per an earlier agreement. Moving it shifted that burden to the developer.
If I was to build a fence inside my property, after a number of years the land would become legally my neighbours
Not true, presence of a wall somewhere on your property doesn't move the property line. Nor does the lack of a fence/wall prevent an adverse possession.
Someone is afraid that a US citizen might be hiding some wealth somewhere.
More like putting a stop to government employees watching porn during work hours. Or spending most of their day campaigning for whatever politician they're beholden to.
They don't hoard cash in a mattress; it's always invested somewhere. Whether the company invests in bonds, its own stock, whatever - the money is in the economy creating more jobs and more profits.

It can't happen if we shut the conversation down with "it always fails".
Nor can it happen if you shut down the conversation with "Suck it up buttercup, or change the system that preys on people."
Capitalism has worked better than any other system that's been devised. The challenge is to find a way for everyone in society to benefit from it.

Panera tried to provide a system that seemed fair. Decide for yourself if it was a success.

You should read the GP question before making a fool of yourself again.

By the way, Einstein was no Einstein in school, and not really a very good mathematician.
When Einstein finished his PhD in Theoretical Physics he was considered one of the top physicists in the world.
There are no statistics to support their conclusion. They reviewed old studies and come up with 41% out of thin air.
Typo in subject.

OpenAI, an nonprofit research company backed by Elon Musk
It turns out that the "Going private. Funding secured" tweet was a unit test which got away from them.

Or a Supreme Court justice who falls down a lot.

If true, this is still a big "Who Cares?" story.
I find it hard to believe the southern boundary of the launch site is open to Mexico today.
Some of my very heavy math based algorithms actually run faster in LuaJIT than compiled C code!
What you're saying is that most of your math based algorithms would run faster in Python (because its math libraries are compiled C).
There's not really a reason to use Python on the web.
True. It's better than most (especially Java or C/C++), but not the best choice.
It's fine for smaller websites (but then just use RoR)
Good grief, RoR was never a good choice; thankfully it's long dead. Node is the only sensible choice today.
but when the website gets bigger, the lack of types will hurt a lot.
Python is strongly typed, you can look it up.
there is no such thing as "affordable insurance"
That's not what Nancy Pelosi told us back in 2008. Of course, not all of us believed her.
