While I don't agree with AOC on many things, and that Green Thing she helped push after Markey loaded it with the Communist Manifesto (she's also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America so it was an easy sell), I've watched her in some hearings on CSPAN. She does her homework. She's the woman Asshole needs to watch out for. She's not running for Pres but he'd better hope she never becomes a DA with subpoena power.
More accurately, Dick Donnie saw FOX reporting other countries grounding the planes. At first, he thinks that would be bad for American business and after that nice CEO from Boeing gave him a ringy-dingy to pump his ego. However, aides were also watching and realized the danger that Dick Donnie would be in were one of those planes go down in America while the the FAA hadn't grounded the planes. He'd be blamed. It was unconscionable that he could be blamed, after all he is a genius. So he mouths off in a statement to the press including the bit about planes becoming too complicated for pilots...not for him, of course, he is a genius.
Meanwhile, over at the FAA and the Dept. of Transportation where Madame Chao, Mitch McConnell's wife, had been supporting the previous policy of "those crazy foreigners and their grounding OUR American planes", they get wind of Dick's pronouncement and immediately issue their own press release that claimed with consultation with Canada, they had heroically decided to ground the planes. Dick's ego is preserved, all is well.
Trump doesn't even know Cisco exists or what it does. He just sees another way to screw China so he can boast to right-wingnuts on FOX about how he's being a strong dictator...errr...leader, that it, he's being a strong leader.
I see you never heard of herd immunity. By the way, babies before 1 yr do not get the measles vaccine. Better hope one your sprogs doesn't get measles before their first birthday.
I do not recall a groundswell of calls for MS to open source their calculator. More likely, MS doesn't want to put any more resources into it because it won't generate any profit. So they decide to "gift" it to the open source community in the hopes they'll spend their resources on it. And it allows people like you to gush over how MS is giving back to the "community". The only community MS cares about is the business community paying them.
In Rand Paul's defense, his kids have been vaccinated, and he believes vaccination works. However, he wants individuals to be allowed the right to be predators on the rest of society by refusing to get themselves or their kids vaxxed. You see, it is a principled defense of How to be an Idiot.
omfglearntoplay: Doctor, I have this lump, it's growing larger.
Doctor: Hmmm...that's looks serious, we need a biopsy (takes sample)
Weeks later:
omfglearntoplay: Well Doctor?
Doctor: I'm afraid I have bad news. You have ear lobe cancer.
omfglearntoplay: Well, cut off then.
Doctor: Won't help, it's already metastasized, you are going do die unless you undergo chemo-therapy.
omfglearntoplay: No, I do not believe modern medicines.
Doctor: Ummm...could you please tell me your next of kin (address, tele. ph., etc), I'd like to know where I should send the bills should you croak before you pay them.
"religious beliefs that preclude the use of vaccines" And just what might those religious beliefs be? Non-belief in modern science and medicine? Belief that kids are parents' property to do unto as they please? Belief in endangering the rest of the pop. that doesn't share those beliefs? Religious beliefs my ass, those holders are deluded if those beliefs constitute religious beliefs. I don't recall any the Bible or the Koran admonishing followers to shun modern medicine of whatever age they live in.
Freishutz: Hello, Chinese Government/Communist Party?
CG/CP: Yes.
Freishutz: We here on Slashdot would like hard proof that Huawei either is or is not providing you with information. Please post it here.
CG/CP: Sure thing, Boss, we gonna get right on that...errrmm...just as soon as we have another Party Congress and can establish its place in a new 5 year plan. The new 5 year plan should be available in around 15 years. Can you wait?

That should work well:
Igor: aim my spaceship at that planetary system over there.
Jesus: Sure thing boss, write when you get there.
Igor: How long should this journey take, we'll need to how big to make the victuals room on our spaceship.
Jesus: Let me see...carry the 2...(divide by the speed of light * percentage of speed you'll be going)...about 20 years.
Igor: Okay, I think I'll just buy that dacha on the Black Sea.
Don't be daft, anyone with a high school education realizes it means convert moisture in the air to hydrogen and oxygen.

Get real, most Americans cannot find Venezuela on a map much less give a flying rat's ass about it. The problem in the knob in the White House.
Nah, they'll send Mike Pence over....the Germans response will be, "Hey, how come you sent us door stop, we have door stops."
I think this comes under the heading, "Do ya feel lucky, punk?"
Except in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.
...just implemented by FOX.
A true libertarian would fight for the right of a terrorist to one up 9/11. It isn't like they have a conscience.
Instructor: Hi there, so you want to learn how to apply AI in your business.
Class: (silence)
Instructor: Excuse me, now that won't do, will it. When I ask you a question, you must respond. SO YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO APPLY AI IN YOUR BUSINESS.
Class: YES MASTER!
Instructor: That's better. Now pull out your book, MS Master Class in AI, and fire up your Microsoft Approved AI Software.
Class: Uggggg! WHAT A TURD....MASTER!
Instructor: Hmmm...I see I must report your grades back to your companies.
CLASS: WHAT A TRULY UNIQUE AND MAGNIFICENT TURD, MASTER!
Instructor: That's better. Now repeat after me, MS is my master, I shall not think.
CLASS: (thud....thud....thud...)
Instructor: I did not give you permission to commit suicide.
You think that spiel is a troll? Now go back and try to do it right.

Last I checked with WebRTC, it wasn't supported by Verizon's FIOS in my area. And it is a no-go at work.
MS infecting the open source world with their CrapWare is not good thing. It's best kept within MS so the cockroaches have something to eat.
Dumping old dead code is somehow following Red Hat?

It may also help kids to realize their anti-vaxxer parents are whack-jobs and to go get themselves vaccinated.

If I recall correctly, kids cannot get the measles vaccine until they are about 1 yr. old. Until they get it, they are relatively unprotected.
Ah, Rand Paul is already on the case, sez it infringes on individuals' rights to endanger their fellow Americans.
