China is a major global player now, even opening up military bases in Africa to protect regional interests.
As someone that does not agree with much of Trump and his administration, how he's dealing with China is something I do agree with. Level the playing field. Now of course all China needs to do is give Trump or his family some sweet real estate deals and we know he'll back off his rhetoric.
They became generally affordable to the masses in the late 90s. I worked in the computer shop at my university bookstore, we started selling cell phones in 1999.
They weren't flying off the shelves but we still sold a few each day. By 2001 just about everyone I knew had a cell phone of their own.
4 way stops are where the beginning of the end will come. UBI is simply replacing certain government assistance programs with one that gives every citizen an equal benefit. What that person does with the money, or if they work hard to make more, is up to them.
Have affordable basic health insurance, give everyone UBI. Let the people figure out the rest.
Quick anecdote. I sprained my knee recently. My doctor gave me a brace to wear any time I'm active. I just got the bill, $495. He also gave me the company name and the model and told me when this one wears out and I need to get a new one, they are $185 on Amazon and are the same thing.
When I visit touristy spots (famous temples) in Japan and school is in session, there are often school kids there with an assignment to ask a white foreigner questions in English. This has happened to me 3 times. When they ask me where I'm from and I reply "United States", I get a puzzled look. Then I say "America" and they understand.
Sorry if you get butt-hurt by it, that's how people know us. As Americans. No other country I know of in this hemisphere also wants to be called America. So what's the problem?
You missed the original point. The OP mearly said an inanimate object used during a well known act will become more valuable due to the history. It has nothing to do with pro or anti gun like you act.
Isn't it just as likely he's willing to commit perjury to protect this once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity?
There will never be proof as it's something that happened between 2 people decades ago. However there is a pattern of statements coming out claiming he greatly underestimated his drinking and personality while in school.
This isn't a court of law, no one is trying to convict him of a crime. This is a court of opinion and if enough people feel he made morally reprehensible designs during his younger years, that could be enough to keep him from the Supreme Court.
Personally, I think they should wait until after mid-terms to even nominate someone. That's the precedent that has been set.
The guy suddenly had millions of people seeing his facebook page... seems to me even if there wasn't a direct financial windfall from this act he could stand to benefit from the increased publicity in the future.
He clearly knew what he was doing was wrong and it simply wasn't him downloading the movie to watch by himself at home.
You have selective memory then. I recall people thinking he was not very intelligent but the Hitler comparisons.. nahh.. Cheney was the evil one during that administration.
As an engineer with an MBA, no, they do not teach this bullshit in graduate school. Blaming MBAs is one of the easiest karma whoring subjects on/. and has been for years.
This is greed. There was no "Asshole 701" course offered in my program.
If parents (in general) were responsible the situation likely would never have reached this point. Too many drop their kids off and expect the school to raise them.
I know many people who work for various school districts in the area, the school can try and do the "common sense" action by telling the student and the parents that it's not acceptable behavior and not to do it again. The problem now is that the parents blame the school and threaten lawsuits for trivial stuff. The schools protect themselves by having these "zero tolerance" policies.
The baby boomers have passed their laziness and blame others mentality on to my generation. And it is our kids that must deal with this crap.
I had a call with a recruiter from Tesla last week. She asked decent, relevant questions about my experience but it was so loud in the background it gave me the impression they have an army of recruiters going with the shotgun approach. Desirable places to work probably do not require active head hunting.

At what point is it enough, though?

Current healthcare is a pyramid scheme.
Covering up what? That there was a vulnerability but no evidence anyone exploited it?
Do you go to the police station and report every time you drove faster than the speed limit or didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign?
I think Congress has more important things to worry about IF there are no victims.
There is no freedom of speech expectation on Facebook.
I stopped using Facebook about 3 years ago due to the political spam. Good for them for dropping the bot accounts.
Next they should ban the people who share the "if you don't share this post 100 kittens will die" spam.
Autopilot is a glorified cruise control. It's not quite the same thing.
Well - here are the places I have been in this hemisphere. Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Argentina, Chile.
No one spoke up as to be upset that we're known as Americans.
Right, wrong, or indifferent... it's what we are called. United Statesians or United States of Americans just doesn't quite roll of the tongue.
Please cite your source, btw.
Boo hoo.

No, it doesn't.

So that explains the 2-3 days after I return home from visiting Mexico....
Honda sells one but it cuts at a max height of 2.5 inches I believe
Shouldn't you be outside getting laid instead of poking fun of others on /. ?
Your numbers include government provided housing as well.
Last week I found a headless preying mantis on my front porch. At least we know what choice he made.
And I'm sure there will be a similar system in place to qualify for the free tuition.

Just because Trump beat Clinton 2 years ago does not mean he has the majority support of the American people. Most people did not vote for him.
Well if you own a company that does the type of work they are looking for, you don't have to bid on the contract.

The part time student in my department described something similar with the online class he was taking.
I'd have no complaints about it, just hope I don't go digging for gold while being watched.
