Here is a thing that was claimed as fact: "The accident left the apartment building so contaminated..."
So according to you, when an explosion happens, all the materials that were used to make the explosion self-organize into neat little piles to be cleaned up. Or are the materials everywhere? They had to detonate twice after the explosion to clear away other ordinance as far as I know. Have you worked in a chemical lab? Do you know what kind of safety equipment that is required not to contaminate your workspace let alone the entire building. I doubt that he put in air purifiers, fume hoods, etc.
I don't think anyone even left a skeleton for you to put this straw on. The unsubstantiated assertion is up there, bud.
No I'm asking you to think about why would the FBI lie about it. They are going to make several dozen people homeless because . . . they hate those people so much? They hate the property owners of the building? What's the angle in demolishing a whole building? They are covering up for an explosion that everyone agrees has happened? Please put up a plausible explanation for a conspiracy.
We probably won't get any regardless, but the effort will be better spent looking at extraordinary claims that don't even have ordinary evidence.
Someone who turned their home into a lab has contaminated his home and surrounding homes with an explosion isn't an extraordinary claim.
Yeah, I don't get the "we have to burn down the entire building". Won't that send dangerous chemicals into the air?
If the burn is done right, it destroys the chemicals. That's "if" though.
Wouldn't it make more sense to tear down the building and send all the materials to a landfill for hazardous chemicals?
Who would tear down the building? If it is as dangerous are reported, that would require people in Hazmat suits for weeks, months to tear down the building. Then the second half of your plan is to send hazardous material to a landfill. Most of these repositories take in solids and liquids and encase them in domes. They don't take in drywall, wood, plastic, etc. The dome would be considerably large if they had to take in ruble of a building.
Something seems fishy here.
Here are the things that are fact: There was an explosion. People were evacuated. Now you're claiming that it's "fishy" that they want to demolish the whole building. And how does that serve any conspiracy theory? The authorities want to put many people out of their homes because they want to cover up an explosion that everyone agrees has happened? They just hate people in those building that much?
Have you talked to these people? Some of them are not joking. They truly believe in things like the Earth is flat. They are also are the same people who don't believe in blood transfusions and people are possessed by "evil spirits". The problem is that these people take these "joke" videos seriously as fact.
How unstable can the remaining stuff be? I mean it obviously did not detonate when the fist blast went off.,
Only if you didn't bother to read the article or know anything about chemistry.
"The presence of dangerous chemicals on site make it unsafe to try to salvage the building, officials said, citing the risk of another explosion or chemical exposure to workers."
Depending on what he was trying to make, the intermediates and the by-products could be very toxic. This was compounded by the fact that the chemicals were spread by an explosion. Have you ever seen how law enforcement clean up a meth cook site. It's full Hazmat suits. Would you say the FBI is "covering something up" when they have to condemn a meth site?
So you are saying that YouTube which is owned by Google, a private company can't do what it wants because you object to it. So who is being "authoritarian" here? Google can ban all videos who are opposed vanilla ice cream but that doesn't make them any more authoritarian as the next private company that does.
Clearly you don't actually talk to these people. There are some people on this world that don't believe in basic science. You apparently think they don't exist.
You can go on YouTube and see all shows of videos "proving" the Earth is flat. The shape of the Earth being round doesn't require complicated physics and a graduate degree yet people insist it is flat. There is nothing you can do to change the minds of these people.
The only thing I can think of is the power disruption led to some sort of contamination. However with Fukishima, the problem wasn't the age of the plant but the design was not meant to handle both an earthquake and a 50ft tsunami at the same time.
The design worked well as soon as the earthquake hit, all reactors were immediate put into shutdown mode. The earthquake also hit the power grid but the diesel generators kicked in. The problem was that it would take about 24 hours of active cooling to get the reactors down to a temperature where it would be stable. Then the tsumani hit and at 50ft breached the 20ft seawall. All the cooling pumps, generators, and electrical equipment were hit located in the basement which were flooded. No cooling and no power and no instrumentation.
It would take ARM licensee who has an architecture license to do what you propose. Those are only a handful of companies that have one as far as I know: Apple, AppliedMicro, Broadcom, Cavium (now: Marvell), Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Samsung Electronics. Also I doubt Amazon has the personnel or the strategy to do that. Sure they will sell you a smart watch all day but making one is not part of their business.
Oh no no no. See the problem isn't that you can't defraud people and get away with leading to cushy government job. You can as long as you don't defraud rich people.
What part of "harsh interrogation technique" and "waterboarding" did you miss in the summary? While there is probably a contingent of people here who care the new head is a female, I would be far more care about that aspect of her career.
Steve Jobs wanted Intel CPUs in his iPhone but his engineers did not. Anyone who's familiar with the differences between ARM and x86 would know that an Intel powered smartphone was not a good idea.
I don't think that's what the proposal was. Apple has tried different device prototypes with Intel CPUs but they didn't work out. I think the Apple proposal was that Intel manufacture ARM CPUs for Apple.
From what I understand it would be a very different way of doing business. Apple wanted Intel to make CPUs that Intel didn't design. While Intel has made and makes ARM processors in small volumes, the numbers Apple projected would make Intel a chip foundry like TSMC, GlobalFoundries, and Samsung that is more invested in making other people's ICs. It would be like asking Ford to make GM and Honda cars. During WWII, all American automakers made Chrysler designed Jeeps for the war effort but they don't normally do so.
You are attaching too much importance to the iPhone CPUs (and Android) market. It is doubtful the margins are high on those, especially since Apple has multiple manufacturers. That is like saying Apple missed out on making Android phones because there were so many of them out there. You don't want to enter a cutthroat low-margin market.
That might be true if your only concern is margin and not survival. I would say that a case is being made that PCs are slowly dying and being replaced with smaller devices many of which do not and will not run Intel CPUs. I would say it's the same problem that Sun Microsystems faced. AMD, Intel, and Cyrix were all fighting on the x86 market with Intel coming out on top and AMD relegated to 2nd class. Sun stayed out of the consumer market completely and failed to innovate in the server market. These days lower cost Intel and AMD CPUs running Linux have largely replaced Sun.
'Science' is not a political ratchet to tighten around people whose actions you oppose.
Who is tightening what? In the some areas like climate change, warning the world that polluting the air with emissions is having a disastrous effect might trigger you but that's your problem if you can't handle someone telling you the truth.
Nice work. You've defined a new -ism. Scienceism. I suppose we should let you appoint the 'scientists' to be the rulers under this new -ism.
And which rulers are those? How many of the world leaders are scientists again? Very few. Most of them are lawyers. Does that destroy your world view?
And Jesus Fucking Christ! The whole scientific process involves 'arguing with science' and doing so vigorously, at all times. Question everything, believe nothing whole-cloth.
Part of the scientific process involves gathering and examining evidence. Debate does occur but that is not the totality of the process. For example, plenty of debate occurred when Einstein proposed General Relativity as it was fundamentally ground breaking in understanding the nature of the universe. It was not until evidence started to appear that General Relativity was generally accepted. Even now scientists know that General Relativity is inadequate to describe aspects of the known universe like what happens inside a black hole. Currently there is plenty of debate of what model should describe Quantum Gravity from String Theory to Loop Quantum Gravity however none of them have been backed with evidence.
When did he say he didn't update in a year? He said he had to reboot Win10 more in the last weekend than all of his Linux machines in a year. He didn't say he didn't have to reboot Linux this year. For the most part, you don't have to reboot Linux with every update as not every update requires a reboot.
But that's not what the poster said. Specifically he said: "With patents, you don't sue right away so they can design around your patent and you get nothing, you wait a few years for damages to acrue". He said that you can know that someone has infringed and wait to get more damages. In this case they did enter into negotiations however failure to mitigate damages generally does not look good for a plaintiff.
Unfortunately no as plaintiffs in a civil case has a duty to mitigate damages. Knowingly doing nothing for years undermines the plaintiffs case for damages.

So again Google can't do what it wants because your feelings will be hurt.
So to be clear you don't know any actual Flat Eathers but somehow you can assert that they are all joking?

I would say you and I have very different definitions of "limited". I would call the non-specificity of the warrant's conditions a "dragnet".

I don't think people object to her being career spymaster as the whole torture thing.
So it's OK for her to be the Deputy director, but once she gets to climb one rung of the ladder that's a big problem?
It wasn't okay. That's the point. But with all the other crazy Trump appointments it probably got lost in the news. The NY Times covered it when she was appointed Deputy Director.

You really wonder why they would turn this down?
