The constitution is generally used to apply only to US citizens and states. Its implied that it only applies to US citizens.
So resident aliens no longer have to pay income tax, and can own slaves?
This is backed by numerous SCOTUS rulings.
Bullcrap. Please cite one.
This is how intelligence agencies can collect foreign "private documents" without warrants.
More bullcrap. They cannot collect intelligence inside America's borders whether the target is a citizen or not.
non citizenry would also grant non citizens to form armed militias within the US under the 2nd amendment.
My bunkmate in Marine bootcamp was a citizen of the Philippines. Citizenship has never been a precondition to serving in the armed forces, nor to own a gun.
So what is the future of Uber? Waymo is ahead on the tech, and Lyft is partnering with other SDC developers. So if Uber pulls back, they are going to get crushed on price when competing SDC rideshares are available. They are bleeding cash even at current prices ($11B burn rate last year). So how do they survive?
The standard rule of thumb for public projects is that the final cost will be three times the initial approved budget, and the schedule will slip by a factor of two. Unfortunately, we are "locked in" to this system of unrealistic lowballing. If the actual cost was used in the initial proposal, people would would assume the "real" cost was three times that, and the project would never get approved.
So if the public is being told 10 years and $19B, the final outcome will likely be about 20 years and $57B.
The 1st Amendment says NOTHING about "citizenship".
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Where in the phrase "no law" does it say that laws abridging the freedom of speech of non-citizens are permitted?
The FBI doesn't do a very good job. They have a long history of corruption, of lies, and being untrustworthy.
You left out "incompetent". I once worked with the FBI's "high tech task force" for several weeks, and the most competent guy on the team had been a history major. His only advantage over the rest of the team was that he knew he was an idiot.
Different areas of Hawaii have dramatically different capacity factors. Some of the cloudiest and wettest places on earth are just over a mountain range from some of the clearest and driest. Just on the Big Island, Hilo has rain almost every day, while just 20 miles away is the Pohakuloa Plateau, in the rain shadow of Mauna Kea, which is arid desert.
You joke, but I'm wondering why they couldn't have built it on higher ground.
A big reason is that the upper slopes of Kilauea are inside a national park. Only the lower areas around Pahoa are private land available for commercial development.
You can't directly compare Hawaii and Iceland. Iceland's volcanoes are more "felsic", which means they contain more silicates and are more viscous. So they flow more slowly and this makes them easier to divert by ditching, and cooling with hoses to create walls of solidified lava.
Kilauea in Hawaii is a classic "mafic" volcano. The lava is low in silicates, and less viscous. It flows like water, very rapidly. It also is harder to solidify. Kilauea's lava solidifies into basalt at about 985 C. Iceland's lava will solidify at about 1200 C, and will start to get gooey at even higher temps.
Words apparently mean whatever we want them to mean.
That depends on the word. Claims to be "fastest" and "most reliable" have specific meanings, and should be backed by evidence. But "best" is subjective, and thus mostly meaningless.
Disclaimer: I am a T-Mobile customer. T-Mobile is "best" for me despite their sucky coverage, because they are cheaper than the alternatives.
In an emergency braking scenario, the ability of the regen system to absorb energy should never be the limiting factor. Teslas do regen, but they also have brake pads. Sure, you put as much energy as possible back into the battery, but the brake pads should also be engaged so that the limiting factor is the static friction between the tire and the road.
The only software that should matter is the firmware in the ABS. I doubt if that can be modified OTA.
The problem is the arbiters are employed by the corporation.
Many arbitration clauses specify that the arbitrator must be accepted by both parties. If the parties can't agree, then the AAA can assign one randomly.
Another common method is to use a 3 arbitrator panel. Each party picks an arbitrator, and the two of them pick a third.
EVERY LANGUAGE ON EARTH is nothing more than a conglomeration and bastardizations of words from all the other languages around.
Not really. Some languages are very resistant to foreign terms. Chinese is like that, because their ideogram system represents ideas rather than pronunciation. Japanese solved this problem by using an additional alphabet (katakana) just for "loanwords", and foreign terms are very common in Japanese. Among European languages, Icelandic is very resistant to foreign terms.
English is one of the most promiscuous languages. It is very easy to just insert a foreign term into an English sentence, and with a few repetitions, it becomes accepted as a new English word. "Zeitgeist", "churro", and "tsunami" may have been italicized 20 years ago, but today they are just normal English words.
An obvious solution would be to add capacity. This can be more frequent trains, or adding a few cars to each train.
Another solution is to change the cultural expectation of what a "full" train is. Take a ride at rush hour on the Yamanote line from Shinjuku to Shibuya and you will realize that trains can hold a lot more people than you think.
The travelers surely have to prove their identity using a smartphone or national ID at each trip.
Only in the cities. According to TFA, In rural areas there will be no checks at all.
Estonia is experiencing a population drain out of the countryside and into the cities. Young people are especially likely to leave rural areas for jobs in the cities. Free-at-point-of-service transportation is designed to help reverse this trend.
This is actually a dumb goal. People in cities tend to be far more productive, and have a lighter environmental footprint than rural people. Urbanization should be encouraged.
You may have missed the part of the "extremely unlikely changes" propagating geometrically.
I didn't miss it. I included it under "no plausible mechanism". How is GMO corn going to "propagate geometrically"? Corn (maize) is so far from the original wild plant that it is unable to propagate at all without human intervention.
for a darker shade of dark, giving thalidomide to mothers experiencing typical labor pains
Thalidomide was used to treat nausea (morning sickness), not labor pains.
Your objections apply equally to normal selective breeding, or even to any change to anything. The future can't be predicted with perfect accuracy, but that is not a good argument for doing nothing.
We have no evidence that GMO is harmful, and no plausible mechanism why it should be.
Then next day, she ates bread. Boom. Major cramps that night.
Except that there is no "GMO wheat" sold anywhere in the world.
I hear more and more people like that.
You should learn how to use a search engine and work on your critical thinking skills. Before you claim that "X causes Y", you should make sure that X exists.

Solar at Hawaii's location (96704 zip code) has a capacity factor of about 0.124

unlike commercial software, where updates are automatically pushed to users
This is nonsense. Most commercial software does NOT automatically push updates to users.
Also, most commercial updates focus on new features (which people will pay for) rather than bug fixes and security fixes.
it's not to shorten distance but to prevent skidding.
If you prevent skidding, you shorten the distance. For rubber on pavement, static friction is stronger than kinetic friction.
Metal? Wouldn't it be better to have a rubber or elastic polymer case that can absorb shocks rather than just transmit them?

COMPAS does not know the color of people's skin.
It knows their zip code, which in much of America is a pretty good proxy for race.
Visual Studio is free now.
"Open source" is not about the price.
Xcode is the one that is $100 a year and also requires an expensive hardware dongle to run.
Wrong and wrong. Xcode is free (no cost) and does not require any dongle.

Are you afraid that if the foreigners get mad at us, they will pack up the land and take it home?
In most countries, there are no restrictions on foreigners owning land. Can you point a an example of this ever resulting in a "loss of sovereignty"?
If you can get better results by selectively enforcing the laws, then why not ?
We have a word for selective enforcement: Corruption. You pay a bribe, and we let you slide.
Simpler than having the laws changed.
More profitable too.
