The founders were very clear in the their personal writings that they considered the right to own guns a fundamental individual right and the cornerstone of liberty. Many of them argued against having a Bill of Rights at all because they were afraid people would try to narrowly construe them as all encompassing, instead of a highlight of the most important freedoms.
Minimum wage workers take the bus, they don't own a car, at least not in Canada. You might be able to buy a car for $600 but the $1500/year in insurance is harder to cover.
Anything within 100 miles of the border is a Constitution-free zone, don't you know. So I assume they mean everyone. But especially anyone who looks like they might be from the Middle East.
Pacific Northwest, here. Not many homes have or need A/C. I have it now just because the heat pump comes with the function for free, but it only get used the rare muggy evening.
Ruby works fine with setups similar to Python virtual environments. We run many Rails apps simultaneously on the same boxes with all their gems built and deployed along with the app. Just set GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH accordingly and go.
Hey, if you're going to count private property, which the US govt has no claim to, you'll also need to count private debt. So now you're over $60 trillion.
But as to what's reasonable, well, that depends on interest rates. I think since the Fed started monetizing the debt though that everyone in power obviously has realized the reasonable point is well past.
Long term, if your debt is growing faster than GDP, you're going to eventually be screwed, regardless of the interest rate.
The US federal debt alone is over $56,000 for every man, woman and child alive. If the BRICS haven't already figured out that will never be repaid, I don't see how even doubling it will cause them to suddenly see the light.
You joke but obviously there's no clear line. It is true though that the top.1% own something like 23% of all wealth in the US. The top 1% own 34%. And the top 20% own 85% of everything. Somewhere in there is the "ruling class". I'm thinking it's closer to the guys who can get Obama or Yellen on the phone when they call and who own large yachts than it is your average company VP, though.
Lots of people get into the top 20%, at least for a while. I am, even, at just a normal wage-slave job, and I certainly don't rule anything.
The US government declaring War on something that isn't a clear military target is the greatest guarantee that "something" will grow every year and be a bigger and bigger problem. Because that's the only way to keep the bureaucrats and contractors feeding at the trough.
This is for optics. The Snowden revelations have cost US companies a lot of contracts. Americans might be OK with the NSA spying on them but Europeans are much less happy about it.
It's never going to go back to the way it was. Too many people make too much money from the new way. No politician is ever going to get rid of the TSA; whenever the next attack happens, they'll get blamed.

Buy your beans at Costco, they're less than half the price.

Progressive politicians should stop trying to screw tech companies with hiring quotas, and then maybe they'd get more support.

Give it up, dude. Lefties love Muslims, and no facts are going to get in their way.
Sea level could easily jump several meters in a couple of years if various large ice sheets destabilize.
But in general I agree agriculture is the major concern.

Ruby is slow but versioning just isn't an issue.
Docker works, too, of course.
If your ISP does IPV6 they'll delegate a /56 or larger prefix to you, and you can assign addresses out of it however you want.
Consumer ISPs will almost certainly not delegate reverse DNS to you, though.
I seriously can't believe how attached people are to NAT, though. Real addresses are SO MUCH better.

OK, I'll bite. What asset backs the US national debt?
The US federal debt alone is over $56,000 for every man, woman and child alive. If the BRICS haven't already figured out that will never be repaid, I don't see how even doubling it will cause them to suddenly see the light.
The plebs demonstrably don't know anything. Mob rule is the end of any democratic system.
Also, the great thing about having a /64 on each segment for host addressing is there is no practical way to scan it.
Your ISP sucks. They should be handing out /48's to all business accounts.

No it's more that people accumulate assets over time and also make more money later in their careers than earlier.
But the real ruling class is more like the .1%. You don't get to join that class unless you're a very successful entrepreneur.
So is wind, then.
Actually, it would be more fair to say that all power is solar power, since fissionables too were created in another star's super-nova.
True until we start generating power from hydrogen fusion ourselves, at least.

After what the Germans did in Russia and the Ukraine they're lucky the Russians left anyone at all alive in Berlin when they got there.
