Bookies are basically assuming Clinton is going to win the nomination and have a 60%+ chance of winning. The only other possibility they give anything approaching a decent chance to is Trump who they think is half as likely to be President as she is.
I think Sanders is great, you clearly do, but that's no reason to be delusional. People who stand to lose a lot of money by getting this wrong and have a good track record are literally betting billions that you're wrong.
60 percent, you say?
Delusional you say?
That figure has been plummeting from ~90% since HRC fans started quoting bookie odds. Sanders has gone from not being able to fill a picnic table to filling stadiums. And that's what HRC fans don't seem to be recognizing - growth, in spite of the odds being stacked in favor of HRC by the DNC led by DWS.
DWS and HRC are surprised and shocked, and HRC doesn't seem to know what to do about Sanders. Indeed, she has/nothing/ to slam him with when it comes to negative ads. Nothing. At. All. For a candidate that needs to stop her opponent from gathering so much mindshare, this is extremely troubling, at best.
Even if you throw out the NH primary, NV and IA were not the coronations HRC, and everyone else in the DNC establishment, expected 6 month prior.
Hills is in deep shit. Peer pressure is big in caucuses and primaries are a completely different animal, because people change their voting behavior when they know others aren't watching them fill in the scan-tron sheet, and it's likely that NH wasn't a fluke.
To top this off, many women who are feminists, like my wife - a first wave feminist, find it offensive what Gloria Steinem said about women who don't support HRC. "I don't vote with my vagina" is what my wife and other feminists said in response. And millenials/third wave feminists don't owe a damn thing to first wavers either.
You're an imbecile. You're a flat-out mouth-breathing imbecile, who aspires to be a moron.
>rules of conduct are intimidating
Then leave society as a whole and live on your own island. But good luck earning money to buy that island, as you will have to cooperate with other people to earn it, which you are certainly incapable of doing.
For example, just look at the Rust programming language project. They have a very bureaucratic and tyrannical code of conduct.
Ok, let's look at, specifically, what they define as harrassment:
4. Unacceptable Behavior
The following behaviors are considered harassment and are unacceptable within our community:
Violence, threats of violence or violent language directed against another person. Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or otherwise discriminatory jokes and language. Posting or displaying sexually explicit or violent material. Posting or threatening to post other peopleâ(TM)s personally identifying information ("doxing"). Personal insults, particularly those related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or disability. Inappropriate photography or recording. Inappropriate physical contact. You should have someoneâ(TM)s consent before touching them. Unwelcome sexual attention. This includes, sexualized comments or jokes; inappropriate touching, groping, and unwelcomed sexual advances. Deliberate intimidation, stalking or following (online or in person). Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. Sustained disruption of community events, including talks and presentations.
You have a problem with these? Then stay out. None of these rules are unreasonable. Indeed, since you find them so unreasonable that you have to whine here about it, you sound like the kind of person that any group, that wants to get anything done, should keep out, lest they be trolled into wasting time on your moronic nonsense.
I seriously wonder what you would have done, 25 years ago, when "unprofessional behavior" would have gotten you booted off the entire Internet.
It's strictly about the number of transistors on a chip.
This.
Just because clock speeds won't go up much more with silicon technology, it doesn't mean that going from a 2D plane to 3D assemblies (with the associated heat problems, but this "low power" stuff helps with that) won't happen.
It will happen. It's "merely" an engineering and geometry problem rather than a physics problem requiring new science.
Pulse dialing still works nearly everywhere. Indeed, some people are skilled enough to do pulse dialing by flashing the hook the required number of times.
I assume therefore that if the people using the machines are not in the habit of visiting certain types of website,
Which type of website would that be?
Years ago, when Investor Village was still young, they had a problem with an advertiser serving up malware.
Just the other day, Forbes was caught serving up malware in their ads after telling people to whitelist them.
Various other web pages not affiliated with what you might call the "seedy underbelly" of the Internet have been caught serving up malware in their ads.
So tell me, which "certain type of website" might I avoid?
This means people will end up sucked into the echo chamber of one single publication's editorial bias.
They don't now?
To say that having to pay for content causes siloing is nonsense in the light of the current system of 'free' echo chambers.
On the subject of ad-blocking itself, I block on the hosts file level and whitelist js per site *because serving up malware with ads has gone on for over a decade* and the advertising 'community' (such as it is) refuses to clean up its act and has thumbed its nose at users ever since the NSF AUP was removed from the 'net.
However, nobody ever speaks much about the horrible attrocities (sic) the other countries commited (sic) during the war: [list]
Really? Fucking Really?
The fact that you were able to rattle examples of other atrocities right off the top of your head means that yes, there are a/lot/ of books and other media about the other atrocities since you have read them.
Let's see, what can I find on just one atrocity done by the Japanese during WWII
1-12 of 4,299 results for Books : "bataan death march"
"Mein Kampf" was arguably a derivative work itself.
Not "arguably" but actually was.
It plagiarized The International Jew (in Germany The Eternal Jew) and The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (which itself is a plagiarized work), the former written by Henry Ford (yes, that one) and the latter funded by Ford in its first widespread US publication.
To say that it's a derivative document is an understatement.
I think that's a lot clearer than "clear type" and a lot less fuzzy than Apple fonts on a standard monitor (I can't say anything about Retina displays as I don't own one, but higher/should/ be less fuzzy)
And that's with KDE. KDE used to be notorious for bad font rendering and ridiculously bad kerning. Now I prefer it over all other "standard-def" anti-aliased font rendering.
Napalm is an incendiary, not an explosive, i.e., not a bomb.
Fuel-fertilizer bombs/are/ explosives, however. They do indeed go "boom". I first learned about these from an online friend in Appalachia who related the story that among his friends, one of the things to "do" for fun was to make one, drive into a disused mine, drop it off, and let it go boom. This was years/before/ the Oklahoma City bombing. Yee-haw.
Mix Styrofoam and gasoline (as much as you can dissolve), however, and you do get a sticky burning substance - good enough for most campfire lighting purposes (summer-camp way - a can of spray wax and a match) or self-immolation (someone actually did this in Wakefield RI, for really stupid reasons). Add elemental phosphorous for extra fun.
One of Fieser's colleagues suggested adding phosphorus to the mix which increased the "ability to penetrate deeply...into the musculature, where it would continue to burn day after day."[5]
"Napalm sticks to kids"
I cannot find any chemistry (from something/not/ related to the Anarchist's Cookbook or some-such Darwin-event inducing text) related to easily making a bomb out of TSP, so unless you have a reliable reference for your just-so-story, I have to call [citation needed] on this.
>High end clients have specifically eliminated native advertisement from their purchased inventory.
Motley Fool investor advertorials are especially egregious. The ones pushed on facebook are offensive beyond words. I've blackholed MF itself. Forever.
The moment you start dehumanizing people who haven't committed a crime, deciding that it's OK to do bad things to them just because you disagree with them, and they're not worthy of the same rights and protections you give to people you agree with, you've started using the same reasoning ISIS uses to justify what they do.
So you mean that TRUMP saying that we should "take out" the families of suspected terrorists is a bad thing, right?
"I would do my best, absolute best â" I mean, one of the problems we have or one of the reasons we're so ineffective, you know, they're trying to, they're using them as shields. It's a horrible thing," the real estate tycoon said.
"But we're fighting a very politically correct war. And the other thing is with the terrorists, you have to take out their families," Trump added.
"When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. But they say they don't care about their lives. You have to take out their families."
Being a responsible operator means you know what to do when your aircraft loses RF control, meaning that you also know the limits of combined RF and computer control of your particular aircraft.
If all of these operators had paid attention and learned the limits of their aircraft beforehand, they would have never flown them where they did and they wouldn't have had their faces on the boob-tube as a result.
And we wouldn't be here discussing whether or not a token 5 dollar registration fee is onerous or not (it's not).
The responsibility lies/solely/ with the operator.
Corporate douchebags never learn from history. They think that/they/ are special and are going to be able to pull it off, speculating that nobody will catch on and that their product is/so special/ that it can't be changed out for something else, that their company, and their company alone, is the sole innovator in the market.
It's a blinkered thought process only that sociopaths would find attractive. You know, the Carly Fiorina types.
Meanwhile this brain-dead transparent effort to boost stock price only does the opposite.
There's a big fat IF in that rule and a whole huge NOTWITHSTANDING.
The context of "drones" these days is that of mass-market computerized hobby aircraft - with the computerization removing all the skill needed to fly and land a drone without crashing it on the first try, leading to too many operators being careless with them because they are no longer punished by the Universe in their wallets. This is unlike the "old days" of half-a-decade ago when even the most advanced hobby aircraft were a handful to fly - to the point that if you really didn't want to crash your expensive toy on your first flight, you used a flight simulator to reduce the chances and you joined an AMA RC club and had someone teach you.
The idiots that kheldan are talking about are Joe "Hold My Beer And Watch This" Operator who has gone to Wally World and bought hisself a drone (WOOWOO!) and decided to take it for a spin without so much as glancing at anything online or on dead tree related to the hobbyist aircraft community and safety recommendations. Computerized RC aircraft have led to a kind of Eternal September in the RC aircraft community - but unlike the original Eternal September, there are real meatspace consequences for careless operation instead of AOL "me too" posts in usenet.
So here's the actual law. Let's see if Joe "Hold My Beer And Watch This" Operator who bought an unmanned hobby aircraft needs to be regulated - registration being the least onerous of types of regulation
a) IN GENERAL - Notwithstanding any other provision of law relating to the incorporation of unmanned aircraft systems into Federal Aviation Administration plans and policies, including this subtitle, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration may not promulgate any rule or regulation regarding a model aircraft, or an aircraft being developed as a model aircraft, if -
(1) the aircraft is flown strictly for hobby or recreational use;
Check.
(2) the aircraft is operated in accordance with a community based set of safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization;
Fail on "safety guidelines and within the programming of a nationwide community-based organization"
(3) the aircraft is limited to not more than 55 pounds unless otherwise certified through a design, construction, inspection, flight test, and operational safety program administered by a community-based organization;
Fail on "operational safety program administered by a community-based organization"
(4) the aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft; and
Fail on interference and does not give way to manned aircraft.
(5) when flown within 5 miles of an airport, the operator of the aircraft provides the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport) with prior notice of the operation (model aircraft operators flying from a permanent location within 5 miles of an airport should establish a mutually-agreed upon operating procedure with the airport operator and the airport air traffic control tower (when an air traffic facility is located at the airport)).
Fail on cooperating with any of this.
Joe "Hold My Beer And Watch This" Operator fails on all criteria except one.
His aircraft needs to be regulated. Indeed, I believe such mass-market computerized aircraft should have code embedded in the firmware disallowing flight until it is registered with the FAA online, with such a website introducing Joe Operator to the standards of the RC aircraft community, impressing upon him that irresponsible operation will bring down the wrath of fines if he's lucky. "Ordinary" "dumb" RC hobby aircraft need not be registered because such things are self-limiting when it comes to whether or not the operator is skilled - he is punished by the Universe in his wallet if he insists on being uneducated
1. I've never heard of Expendables 2 2. The first one sucked. Why would I expect improvement in a/sequel/? 3. Make better movies that people will actually go to, Lionsgate.
For fucks sake, the number of films from Hollywood that have been worth seeing in the past decade has been dismal.
>looks at list of movies from Lionsgate
Texas Chainsaw 3D? Really? Who the fuck at Lionsgate gave/that/ the green light?
We wouldn't even be discussing this if speech like TRUMP's gets a total fucking pass like it's been getting in the US media, outside of special interest shows like Maddow.
Critical journalism in the US is largely fucking dead in the mainstream. Everyone is afraid they're going to lose their precious 'access' if they ask the tough questions and call people like TRUMP out on their bullshit.
Things like "The Interview" over at the BBC do not exist at all over here.
It's despicable. You're not journalists anymore. You're PR agents and 'entertainment.' Fuck off.
China tries to do this this to an extent with their Great Firewall.
They fail by a very large extent.
What should be done is that commercial entities that emulate RTLMC over the air should have their licenses pulled. All this needs is a slight change to the Communications Act of 1934.
Hate sells, but you're not allowed to make money with it on public spectrum. Do it elsewhere. Go suck a lemon, Roger Ailes.
