Information doesn't want anything. It's inanimate.
Give it a rest. They say 'water wants to find its level' all the time in the sciences and its inanimate and nobody bickers like you. Second law of thermodynamics states that the natural log of all possible states is going to increase which basically means that it takes more energy to keep information from spreading that to let it spread.
Why does lifelong monogamy has to be the moral norm ?
Probably because it's the easiest, emotionally and due to resources like time. Ever tried to balance two relationships at the same time? Even when everything is above board and they know about each other, there are a multitude of scheduling issues. Emergencies and times of need can happen at anytime and balancing everything makes for a lot of overhead if not stress. Then, if things are beyond the friends with benefits stage, then they are pretty much going to have to interact with together. If you're lucky, they're going to get along great and conspire against you all the time (usually in a good way), and if not, then you have to manage to people who are constantly at odds. Add another other people and it just increases the complexity that much more.
True, but the problem given by the OP isn't the real issue that people should be taking away from the article. The issue is not a mass of people suffering for long periods of time in a horrible business environment. Amazon is not the sort of working conditions that one can put up with for years on end. Unless you can consistently out preform everybody else in your group without stress while they work at burn out levels, you will eventually burn out or be let go. Friends that have worked there say that the average time of employment there is about 18 months. Amazon is just burning through people as fast as they can because there are plenty of people to burn through. Not bad if you are looking for some contacts and something to put on a resume to get a better job, but not a career possibility no matter how much you can put up with a bad work place.
If you don't like the working conditions then form your own business and work for yourself. It's that simple.
Most people do. That is what people I have known who have worked at Amazon and the article have said. The average time of employment there is 18 months. By that time, people have either taken their experience and put it on a resume to get a better job, or been chewed up and spit out by the review process. Anybody treating Amazon like a career, that isn't in some very lucky position, will be in for a rude surprise when they either burn out of are let go. Treat is like a stepping stone from the beginning, and it might work out for you.
Growing cannabis in the US is still illegal at fed level. Just because a minority of deadsville states have legalized purchasing it, primarily to stop filling their prisons and ruining people lives for a relatively benign activity, doesn't mean we don't face jail time if caught with it across most of the country affecting the vast majority of the population.

You forgot to mention cost. I highly suspect that if the Feds had given those "deadsville states", like Washington, serious grief about not respecting Federal Law, you would have seen a lot of cops holding people till Federal agents showed up. Probably more cops and people than there are Federal agents to investigate. Those wanted for Federal crimes would be moved to Federal holding facilities, where they would later be tried in Federal courts, and serve time in Federal prisons. I bet the last thing the Feds want is to fill their courts and prisons with casual pot smokers and small time dealers either.
There is no evidence that encryption was used to protect the emails.
Not everyone who communicates with one another can ever actually meet and exchange key ids, so they need trusted introducers (and even then, that's usually not so bad). But it's hard to believe that for all the people that she was talking to, she never met any of them (which would make a key exchange easy). They ought to have at least pretty-well-verified (and usually very-well-verified) keys for one another other.
I think they mean on the thumb drives themselves, meaning if the drives were stolen, the holder would have access to all that info. At my work we deal with HIPPA info, and all our thumb drives are encrypted and require a password to read what is on them.
Trump's popularity is a mile wide and an inch deep - it's all name recognition. Once people start to hear some of the other candidates, you're going to see that lead erode, and fast.
Not to mention, he's not a Republican. He might be trying to run on the party ticket and have a good deal of Republican voters behind him, but he's not part of the Republican Party. He probably doesn't have leverage within the party to get the nomination and has demonstrated he has no loyalty to the party and will run as an independent. The party insiders at worst will be put in a position where they will have to relinquish the control of the party to Trump, or let Trump cost the party the election and take all the blame for it while still letting them remain in control as Trump is forgotten. I bet the Republican Party would rather see another Perot before being blackmailed into giving away their control.
Hooker and others were extremely bad. He was scrapping the bottom of the barrel when he picked Grant.
Not really the bottom of the barrel, just from a secondary front where he had been racking up success after success, invading Tennessee, isolating Texas, controlling the Mississippi, and pushing the enemy lines back.
Why didn't taxi/cab companies come up with better service like Uber? Cost seems only one differentiator...
Not quite. It depends on the individual market. Where I live they are more expensive than taxis, but taxis are slow to respond, dirty old cop cars (often still with the spotlights and battering rams), with unhelpful drivers that you really have no guarantee will even show up. I stopped using taxis here after several times in a row of waiting for an hour and half with multiple calls and drivers saying they went by and I wasn't there and didn't answer the phone. Uber, which I do not use but my friends do, have new, clean cars, nice and polite drivers, are on the app you can see where they are on the way to pick you up, and evan have much better service as I've heard of some that will keep a small cooler of ice cold bottled water to give away on hot days. They seem to take advantage of whatever deficiencies the local cab company may have.
How the hell is it the job of the governement to tell private companies who they should hire?
Because excluding a large segment of the population from such jobs means a less productive country. It is in the countries best interest to make sure that all the people are of the nation are educated and working the highest possible jobs. Its basically the same economic reason that slavery had to be done away with. To keep slave in line, they were prohibited from learning to read and write or learn more skilled trades. Thus the South had made sure a large portion of their population was only fit for unskilled manual labor, not fit even to be a factory worker, thus dragging the South down into poverty even in the 1800's. This was acting as a weightstone even on the North.
It's also in the countries best interest to see lots of new population that are skilled and ambitious. The best way to get those is to have skilled and ambitious parents. Expect to see more parental leave laws being passed in the US in the future also to encourage this.
Seriously, Mole Man? Menace level: "Oh no, he's going to eat my petunia bulbs and make holes in my lawn!"
You forget the kaiju that The Mole Man also controlled. Considering that part of the charm of the comic book FF was the over the top aspect of their villains, they probably would have been good to go with something a little out there, but entertaining. Sort of like the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, they probably should have embraced the kitch and over the top aspect. It is, after all, a group where the lead guy can stretch.
The Japanese also were as close or closer than Nazi Germany at producing their own atomic bomb. And I like San Francisco myself, as well as the Pacific Northwest...
Which is to say, the Japanese might have thought it was possible and had a bunch of yellowcake that Nazis gave them (on the last sub out of Nazi Germany). From everything I've read, the Nazis didn't think a bomb was possible but were working on a nuclear power plant to power industry, but even this was put more and more on the back burner as the war went on. It didn't help that they were looking into heavy water reactor which wasn't a very good idea. Their research direction was greatly influenced by Heisenberg whose opinions might have been influenced by his discussion with Bohr in 1941.
From what I have read the Japanese, including the military, were trying to "surrender", however, their idea of surrender was to withdraw back to 1938 borders and pretending that WW2 never happened.
Flip things around. If the Germans had gotten the bomb first and dropped one over the top of New York City would the US have surrendered?
Probably not after the first one...
But after Boston was turned to slag, then yes, probably so...
Even then, I think it would be greatly dependant on the USA's ability to defend themselves. The Japanese were had no navy to speak of, were having trouble feeding their own people who were starving, and everybody saw immediate invasion by troops. A USA, at the height of it's industrial and military might, hit by a single nuke on NYC and even a second on Boston, would probably fight as such attacks, even if with an atomic bomb, probably would have been a hail mary attempt about as effective as the Battle of the Bulge. A nuke on the D-Day landing might have held us off longer, however, by that time the USSR were near unstopable unless they managed to get lucky in a nuke on Moscow and took out Stalin. If talking about a strong Germany able to bomb the US mainland in a position of strength, then you're talking about some alternate reality where anything could be set up. An early nuclear bomb topping off the Blitz, might have pushed the UK to neutrality which is what Germany wanted. Then they would have used them on the USSR.
What we really need to do with all these non-state and semi-state actors like ISIL and Al Qaeda is start issuing letters of marque again. "You want to pick a fight with these guys? Go have it at. Follow these rules and understand you're on your own or we'll come after you ourselves."
Well, that's sort of how we got where we are today. People encouraged to go fight Russia in Afganistan became the foundation of Al-Queda. People encouraged to go fight Syria became ISIS. Even back in the days of marque, there was a significant problem with such people turning full pirate and attacking everybody. There's no real way to keep those people receiving money, equipment, and training for a proxy war to go home and do nothing once the fighting you want done is over.

Disagree. It was unethical when I did it. It may not have been illegal yet, and our hospital system (privacy clueless in the era before HIPAA) never told the folks in IT NOT to pry around the databases, medical records or stacks of bills we produced, but poking around people's personal business was still was an unethical invasion of privacy. Fortunately, I've "grown ethics" in the 20-odd years since I was a teenager, and there are better legal and technical deterrents and preventatives to this type of thing now.
Well, you do not grow "ethics", the are provided to you by the policies you work or otherwise act under. "Ethics" are following those rules as provided to you when you agree to work for somebody. Legalities are according to the law and are separate from ethics. Morals are your own personal code whether you adopt one that is provided to you by something like a religion or philosophy or not. If you personally disagree with what you did, it would have been immoral. If it was against your work policies at the time, it would have been unethical. If it was against the law at the time, it would have been illegal. At least, that is how it was explained by our ethics officer at work in the two hour meeting I had to sit through a few weeks ago.
The govt shouldn't be in the business of trying to mold or target my behavior. I fail to find in the US Constitution where that is one of its few, enumerated responsibilities and rights...
You're looking for the General Welfare Clause, which has been a hotly debated topic since shortly after the constitution was ratified if not before.
The question I have on all that is where is the other 300k going because THAT appears to be going for "pictures and websites"... and that simply baffles me.
Besides restoration, the plan also includes documentation of the suit including photos, a 3D scan, online display of that 3D scan, climate controlled case, and special stand for the suit that will climate control the inside of the suit also so it can all be ready for the 50th anniversary in 2019.
