It's fairly simple - the moment a public broadcaster gets funded directly from taxes it also becomes vulnerable to politicians cutting their budgets.
While it's also possible to vote through a lower TV license, it becomes much harder to justify this as "neccessary to balance the budget" when the real goal is to punish the broadcaster for publishing something the politicians didn't like.
Someone intentionally runs down another person with their car and Ford gets sued?
Ginsu gets sued because some nutso housewife decided to stab her spouse and their spawns?
The local water company gets sued when someone drowns someone in a bath tub, because after all, the water company provided the water....
From TFA:
The Golden Shield system included a library of Falun Gong Internet activity enabling the Chinese government to identify Falun Gong members online, according to the lawsuit. The case also contains strong evidence that Cisco created systems for storing and sharing information about “forced conversion”—i.e. torture—sessions for use as training tools.
The cooperation was also documented in internal marketing literature, where a Cisco engineer described the company’s commitment to China’s security objectives, including the “douzhung” of Falun Gong practitioners. Douzhung is a term describing abuse campaigns against disfavored groups comprising of persecution and torture.
"There have been 103 homicides in Milwaukee so far this year [August 27], compared with 86 homicides during all of 2014. Thursday, Chief Ed Flynn said he blamed Wisconsin's concealed carry law for some of the violence."
"we heard 'bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. We turn around, and 150 feet from where I was standing, a 15-year-old had just murdered a 15-year-old with a.40-caliber pistol. I had 60 cops there," Flynn said."

From a quick glance at their page, the focus seems to be on widely shared content that has subsequently been censored.
So you'd need a fairly big conspiracy to make a fake censorship story here (or at least a pretty long, hard slog making tons of fake screenshots). On the other hand, this method will only work on things that arn't censored immidiately.
Although, if it's algorithmically censored on posting (see Tsu), it should be fairly easy to replicate.
1: Gain access to hospital equipment 2: Make something fail 3: Send blackmail notice with details of what failed, threatening to start killing patients en masse unless XXX bitcoin is delivered to such and such address. 4: Profit...
The interesting part seems to be that at least scientists use different weights between asking their opinion (such as a poll) and gambling on outcomes with real money.
Nope. Spot the difference:
" their collective gambling —with real money—predicted the outcome of attempts at replicating experimental results better than their own expert guesses. "
Trust me, there are a lot of subscriptions in Norway that don't do this. I've been going over all of them over the past few months for a project I'm working on, and *a lot *of subscriptions has some kind of a "trap" that will lure some percentage of users into overage territory.
Tested on two computers + 1 android phone (on a separate connection). Unable to see anyone online (Even Echo / Sound Test Service is offline). A few users appeared online until attempting to call them (including Echo).
Tried signing out on one of the computers, and signing back in appears broken. (takes forever and fails with wrong credentials error. I *might* be misremembering my password, but I doubt it.)
I can imagine the "double taps" where they first attack a target and then hit it again when rescuers move in adds a certain level of stress to the soldiers...
Yup. I agree completely. Here in Norway we've had public health care for so long, the NSA is just a front for the Norwegian intelligence agencies planted by our royal family during WWII and operating within your government ever since...

They were on the same exercise program. They did the same amount of useful work. Where do you get the idea she was much less active? It's not supported in the summary or TFA.
One organism spent less than half as much fuel for an equal amount of useful work. Exercise being a proxy for useful work, and both having the same exercise routine.

So, in a word, independence.

Extremetech had a decent article about this a couple of days ago (currently at 1013 comments and rising)

Is it really so hard to imagine blackmail?

2: Make something fail
3: Send blackmail notice with details of what failed, threatening to start killing patients en masse unless XXX bitcoin is delivered to such and such address.

This isn't hard.
The ideal temperature is: the temperature that doesn't make seafront property underwater property.
The temperature that doesn't necessitate massive displacement of current agriculture.
The temperature where people don't start dying because they can't handle the heat.
The temperature that doesn't result in massive vegetation death and only much later the growth of species that can handle the new local situation.
This temperature is, by current scientific reasoning, less than 2c warmer than the pre-industrial average.

No.
Neurons do not fire without stimuli, so a brain without sensory input per definition isn't thinking.
