On rec.autos.driving, the only "trolls" weren't trolls by the normal definitions, but were idiots. There would be a few true trolls, but most would simply ignore them. Trolls increased after Eternal September, but they quickly lost interest.
Usenet died when ISPs stopped providing readers and servers for free. I know I stopped when I switched ISPs to one that didn't offer free servers. Paying $5 a month for a pay server just wasn't worth it. Though I had bought Agent, and didn't need to buy another client. I moved to SBC (back before it was SBC) and didn't have a choice of providers, and gave it up. The free services (Google's free usenet access) came too late for most to care. I looked it up, and some of the regulars were still around, but not many kept up with it. Just a few that had had jobs with servers (mainly those working in education). So there was no reason to go back. The number of trolls wasn't an issue. Before the endless September, there weren't many trolls anyway. When everyone on Usenet was on a university server, there wasn't any real anonymity. So a troll could be tracked down in many cases. Noise isn't trolls. The endless non-troll newbs was as bad or worse than the trolls.
By your definition, decentralized, NNTP that's unmoderated, and unmoderable, is moderated. My post will appear "above" yours, if I post it first. Threaded message display is default NNTP behavior in almost all readers, and orders and organizes posts.
It would just be that the first is top, rather than some post-post moderation.
Because your standard for "moderated" includes explicitly unmoderated (by all other definitions on the planet), your definition and argument are simply invalid.
There are no laws preventing discrimination based on attractiveness. There aren't that many complaints about it that I've seen. And it's legal to explicitly hire people based on appearance. Movies do it all the time.
Slashdot has moderators, and also a policy of non-moderation. There has only been one post taken down, and that was after a court order (and battle). So there's a long history of non-moderation, though it's "possible". So should slashdot be considered "moderated" or "unmoderated" under this? What about sites that explicitly do no moderation until after complaints, but then are quick to respond and hands-on in their moderation?
It's more like Ford saying that the EPA reports a 30% drop in Ford fuel consumption. Ford is reporting on Ford cars, but it's an "independent" report, and compared to Fords, not Chevys.
Anything else is altering the laws with complete disregard for the process that they were created to begin with,
All laws are passed in a framework. The state laws are subserviant to state constitutions, and the US Constitution. The separation of powers indicates that the judicial system should evaluate the laws, and ignore "bad" laws. As should the executive. That's how the checks and balances work. Perhaps you should learn what that is, and move somewhere without it, since it seems to annoy you so much.
I've found that the prices are sometimes lower off the airline website, but the main value of off-site searches is to find the cheapest carrier for a route. Then use that info to book directly from the airline site.
What "taxes" are charged differently based on your next hop? I've heard of price differences, and in Taiwan, a longer layover gets a kick-back to the airline (and they have free tours and such, paid by local businesses, for those on a layover). But an extra tax for not staying overnight? That sounds like an old wive's tale.
I booked a multi-continent flight. The rules on flights don't allow for a layover over a certain length. But, getting a layover of 16 hours, I saved almost 50%. I bought a round trip from A to B, and a round trip from B to C for almost half the cost of a trip from A to C, and A to C had at least 4 stops and at least 3 plane changes. A to B and B to C had a single stop with a single plane change.
50% the cost, 50% of the time in the air, and a lower total travel time. Always check all the possibilities. Find the flights, pick the flights that suit, then check multiple pricing engines for the best price for them, then re-check from a "clean" computer/browser to verify you aren't being punished for shopping.
Almost everyone these days asks for all the standard info, name, address, phone, email, and all that. The hotel premier card links a single 10-16 digit number to your record, so a single swipe and all that info is loaded, sometimes even to your CC# (stored securely, of course),so you don't need to show ID or a credit card, and you are checked in in under 30 seconds. Yeah, the "by the hour" hotels you stay at don't ask for or keep any info, but have you ever checked into a Marriott?
Then it's not "WiFi", but WiMAX2. The problem is that the names have been butchered by people who don't really know what they mean. WiFi was initially designed for one computer per AP, with the computer and AP in the same room. The idea was to replace the cable for fixed computers, and that's how it was built. It wasn't designed for roaming, handoff, multi-AP deployments, or even (really) multi-device deployments. The initial standards were slow, and replacement for the 56k wires of the day.
So a wide-spread WiFi is the opposite of everything WiFi was initially designed to do. So to keep the same name will only confuse people.
When the "free market" results in companies hiring Pinkerton men to kill protestors, and anyone against corporate murder is a "socialist", then yes, I'm a "socialist" and you should be too.
Yeah, and anyone knowing things were so bad could have easily sabotage the backups. In my case, an incompetent admin set the last server to backup "over wright" So the only backup that worked was the one nobody cared about. And the backups were completed daily without error.
So an admin that is looking to cause problems could do so silently, even with nightly backups.
They are safer, in that they are much less likely to be "at fault" and when every vehicle is "not at fault", there will be no more crashes. Though, the statistics are not kept, and since only the government can collect them, and they do so according to standards set by the Feds, it's something else we should blame on Trump. The NHTSA has not updated the crash questionnaires with self-driving questions. And the NHTSA reports to the President. So ask Trump to do his job, rather than golfing every day, and you'll have the proof you need.
why create a system that requires fourteen billion years to actually produce them, with them being around for a mere 50,000, and each having a life span of (almost always) less than 100 years?
Ever play an XT DOS game on a 486 in DOS? The games that clocked to the fixed 4.77 MHz were unplayably fast on a 100 MHz machine. Also, the world is 6000 years old, right? With dinosaurs being created in the fossil record by The Creator. So it ran 6000 years, at a 1000:1 speed, so the simulation has been running for 6 years. Much more reasonable, and if a simulation, no more unreasonable of an assumption than being in a simulation in the first place.

The "driverless" trucks will have a passenger in the driver seat at all times. They won't be AI drones, but smart-cruise-control trucks.
And they will self-unload in 5 years.

Giving everyone equal weight in on private services isn't "freedom of speech", it's tyranny.
It's more like Ford saying that the EPA reports a 30% drop in Ford fuel consumption. Ford is reporting on Ford cars, but it's an "independent" report, and compared to Fords, not Chevys.
Are you also using SCCM? And are all machines domain-joined?
So many complaints I've seen were from people complaining "I've done it wrong, and now it doesn't work."

I did. I didn't see the taxes change.

10 years as one-man CIO, and he could get a job as a "real" CIO. Incompetence rises.

I've worked at places where the CIO was the only IT employee. A biased article looking to vilify could call him the "help desk guy".
Then "capitalism", whatever that means to you, is broken.

But the self-drivers are safer than humans.
Even moreso when you updated from Win8 to Win10 without Win10 media, and have lost your Win8 media. How do you update then?
