Which it hasn't really been for a decade now, and wouldn't have been like that if fusion had been receiving the funding it deserves. Of all non-service industries energy has the lowest research funding to revenue ratio, and super-majority of that has been towards fracking and ethanol.
This is a self-perpetuating myth if ever there was one. My money's on FocusFusion to beat sandia to net+ though.
Then I should point out to you the underlying flaw with that approach. The ability to manufacture in bulk with incredible efficiency does you no good if there's no consumer base to acquire said goods. The value of a middle class does not just apply on the supply side, and in the hyperbolic case, the whole economy would collapse.
Reality is more complex than humans just appearing in one location in Africa? That doesn't really question ANYTHING about the theory, but instead just suggests a refinement. This is essentially a non-story that only acts as fuel for dumb creationists who don't read more than a headline.
Unfortunately, you don't speak for enough. Overall satisfaction rates with the TSA are near supermajority levels. The DHS and TSA aren't going away in spite of their overt orwellian qualities.
I don't think you understand how much wasted space a suburban development actually represents, versus the equivalent urban population and accompanied parks. That's ignoring all the catastrophic waste that comes from the commutes developed in the suburban environment. It's a wasteful choice people make, like organic farming, only substantially worse. If the true cost of suburban living were reflected in prices, no one would live there but the extraordinarily rich.
Let's just have an official monopoly on cell phones. Then the government could suppress competition directly and completely, instead of this piecemeal price raising done through patents.
I don't actually know anyone who has been killed by a teabagger, as a counter-point; I have two cousins and an aunt killed by the Taliban(and no, not al qeada, the taliban). It's a false equivalence.
I think the tea party if completely full-of-shit, but they also didn't blindly slaughter people.
Look, it completely undermines any point you make, no matter how valid, if you equate people whose only crime is being uninformed with enemies of the state. Don't do that.
This was inevitable since citizens united. Money=speech and does not necessarily need to relate to a campaign to be used with respect to a campaign. Fraud(is it fraud?) was a completely logical consequence.
Violation of labor laws. This is illegal. They have people doing full time work for less than minimum wage. The fact that they call it an "interview" is hardly a reasonable distinction. I hope the idiots involved suck a nice 6 or 7 digit fine for this.
Tell me, what part of the definition of the word theory does global warming not meet? You can't reject a technical term on a subjective basis, so please answer me. Please?
And I'm actually well above average myself, with good savings, investment, and income. That's not the point. The point is the systemic risk that having wealth gaps like this creates is very bad. Like slowly imploding the economy as the consumer base fails bad. Like spiking crime rates bad.
You project these feelings of envy(Who am I supposedly envious of, the nebulous "rich"?) for what reason? It's not like you have anything to gain from assuming I'm just a bad person. Explain your assumptions.
Yes he does, but he also describes an actual measurable trend(which doesn't apply to individuals, only the groups in general). There has never been a greater wealth gap between the 55+ demographic and the 18-35 demographic in the history of the united states. And it's REALLY substantial: take a look here. Now I'm not agreeing with the GP's Hitleresque means of addressing the problem, but it IS a problem.
So you're saying that free speech is NOT an impossible-to-violate core component of society, which is exactly the point you contravened before?
My point from before was that free speech is violated from time to time, and that's part of the natural behavior of the societies we live in, and shouldn't be perceived as being "about to die" because of it. I didn't call it a good thing, just an common thing.
What always annoys me about this example is that it ignores the possibility of there actually being a fire. Or the perception of a fire. Or something misheard as "fire". Sure, prosecute the liar, but what about good-faith attempts to save lives?
Now, I'm not going to side with the government here(who would?), but the assertion that free speech was in jeopardy is real mistake. All sorts of things that are speech are not legal, and if you flagrantly slander someone, or make threats that imply risk of harm to others, or have a youtube channel that promotes terrorism, governments have shown more than enough willingness to let their beliefs about criminality override the core ideal of free speech.
And that's what free-speech is, an ideal, a goal, not an impossible-to-violate core component of society. There are no perfect guardians of that ideal. Not the citizenry, not the elected official, not the courts, and not the police. All you can do is try to make judgements about how and when you can defend your ideals, and do so the best of your abilities.
Yep, I'm sure it's a problem with bad programming, because good programmers never produce serious bugs, right? It's not like quality control is actually really hard, especially with large and complex software under a single unyielding deadline. Forgive me, but it seems like you've never done professional software development in your life.

If only the religious zealots realized all they had to do was lodge a false DMCA claim through a bot...

I'd happily give up both if you gave up your suburbs that waste substantially more land.

It's still just a language. It's not like the most common projects are in more enjoyable languages.

You "respect" theory?

Good facial recognition has existed for several years now. Using that tech for authentication is obvious. Patents continue to suck.
Critiquing science positions: bashing
Calling people you disagree with "tards": sensible debate.
Who was blaming? I was saying there were identifiable systemic issues present.
And I'm actually well above average myself, with good savings, investment, and income. That's not the point. The point is the systemic risk that having wealth gaps like this creates is very bad. Like slowly imploding the economy as the consumer base fails bad. Like spiking crime rates bad.

You're going to have to classify "my type" a little more clearly. What exactly do you think makes free speech literally impossible to violate?
What always annoys me about this example is that it ignores the possibility of there actually being a fire. Or the perception of a fire. Or something misheard as "fire". Sure, prosecute the liar, but what about good-faith attempts to save lives?
Now, I'm not going to side with the government here(who would?), but the assertion that free speech was in jeopardy is real mistake. All sorts of things that are speech are not legal, and if you flagrantly slander someone, or make threats that imply risk of harm to others, or have a youtube channel that promotes terrorism, governments have shown more than enough willingness to let their beliefs about criminality override the core ideal of free speech.

You missed the chance to suggest that the pharmas would crush the cure in order to sell continuing treatments.
