You know how you get universal healthcare in the US? Start in the states and prove to the nation your framework works (you know, experiments of democracy and all). That way, the Federal initiative standardizes everything. If you really want to convince enough people to get a true universal healthcare start bottom up not top down. If blue states want universal healthcare, why can't their states do it? Why does it have to be federal? They can do it. Nothing is stopping them.
Curiously enough, this is exactly how it worked out in Canada. In fact, the Canadian healthcare system is still run by the individual provinces (and each of them could back out of it if it wanted to). The feds partially fund it, and set certain requirements as conditions for that funding, but aside from that they can't mandate participation.
(And this all is that way because their constitution, where it defines the separation of powers between the feds and the provinces, specifically assigned the power to provide healthcare to the provinces.)
It never seemed that the GOP was ever ideologically unified.
Did you forget the part where they voted to repeal ACA like 60 times? Unanimously.
Of course, once there was a president in the White House that they could no longer rely on actually vetoing that, suddenly, there was all kinds of difference of opinion on that - which parts should stay, which guarantees should remain etc.
No state has a "right to secede". Some states claim said right, but no such right is recognized by the Constitution under its current interpretation. So any state attempting to secede would have to negotiate for such a right - or do so by extra-legal means.
If too many people quit working, we'll just fill those jobs with automation. We actually have a reverse problem - we need to find out what to do with all the people whose jobs are eliminated because automation takes over. UBI could be a part of the solution to that problem.
Extensive legal tax avoidance schemes (which are the ones normally talked about) do not imply that we're on the right side of the curve. They would be used regardless of the position on the curve.
People think that whatever they want is more important to you than it actually is, more often than not. GP is 100% correct. If talking to my voicemail offends you, text first. No guarantees even then, but it's vastly more likely than just dialing and assuming I'm going to answer because I have nothing more important to do.
It doesn't matter if it should or shouldn't be. The point is that if you're on the left side of the Laffer curve, then cutting taxes doesn't increase your revenues. So if you claim that is is (as Republicans always do when they cut taxes), you're lying.
I'm fine with that. The important thing about Pence is that he's going to play by the written rules, and not do any crazy shit. So long as the system stays in place, any kind of EO and legislation can be repealed later, when we take back power - just as Republicans are doing now to Obama's achievements. It's unfortunate that 4 (or 8) years would be wasted going backwards, and then some more going forward back to where we were last year, but it's just a temporary setback in the end.
The problem with Trump is that he's a narcissistic sociopath with emotional maturity of a toddler. He can decide to irreparably break the system, just as a tantrum. Or he can get US into a major international conflict, backing out of which wouldn't be as easy as electing a different party.
Alternative perspective is that it significantly expands the target audience for all those userland tools. Which is where most of the code and developer activity actually is.
You can run any Linux distro you want on WSL, even today. After all, all it really is, is an emulator of the kernel (specifically, its syscalls) - the userspace is whatever you want it to be. The only new story here is that there are some distros that are officially supported and that can be installed from the Store with a couple of clicks. Right now, the only one such is Ubuntu.
You're missing the point. This is not about targeting serious Linux developers. This is about targeting all the Python, Ruby, Node.js etc crowd, who are currently using Macs, because they want a fancy UI, but they also need (or at least prefer) a Unix-like userspace.
If you go to Hacker News and read the comments on this same news story, every third one is, "I'm seriously considering dumping my Mac now". Which is exactly the point.
Because they still have a problem with aggressive nationalism, as a nation. It doesn't take forms as ugly as Armenian genocide, but look at what they're doing to the Kurds, for example. Also check this out:
Genocide doesn't require a "centrally planned and coordinated effort to exterminate the people". You admit that millions of Armenians did die - were killed, that is - as a result of Turkish action. That alone makes it a genocide regardless of anything else.
The fact that Hitler fondly cited it as a role model for what he did (and why others "wouldn't care"), is icing on the cake.
This is still light years away from DOS, where not only you had programming tools, but you had the entire system immediately exposed to those tools (because of complete and utter lack of concepts such as process isolation or protected memory). While it wasn't good from stability perspective, it did enable extremely low-level hacking - e.g. interfacing directly with graphics hardware - with no effort required other than knowledge of that interface. You didn't have to know how to write a kernel driver etc - you just wrote bytes to hardware ports and flipped bits in memory.
A friend of mine had his hard drive messed up in a brownout, and wrote a little piece of software that recovered some of the data by working directly on the file allocation table. He had to learn what FAT32 looks like in the process (and it was doable because it is pretty simple). We were in 9th grade then.
Speaking as such a person, if we can handle singular-plural "you", we can certainly handle "they". It would hardly be the most fucked up part of English, anyway. Learning English by trying to apply common sense to it is a recipe in frustration; you might as well just give up from the get go, and embrace the madness. It will make its own perverse sense eventually, but I'm loathe to call that kind of sense "common".

You get more diverse opinions when you promote the individual.
Is that why Republican congressmen vote in lockstep more often than Democratic ones?

It's a sad day when this sort of drivel is voted Informative on Slashdot.
Everyone who visited the alt-right communities on Reddit knows exactly what Kek and Pepe stand for. It's not like they're hiding it.
Most normal nations have taken a lot of time and effort on every document they allowed in and out of their nation over the decades
Most nations don't meaningfully track departures.
One example of such is US.

I'm one of those people whose tax bill would increase if we implement UBI. I'm fully in support of it.
UBI is supposed to replace most existing welfare schemes, not be added on top of them. So don't forget to factor that into account.
If too many people quit working, we'll just fill those jobs with automation. We actually have a reverse problem - we need to find out what to do with all the people whose jobs are eliminated because automation takes over. UBI could be a part of the solution to that problem.

So, yeah. I'll take Pence any day of the week.

They can detect a laptop shell that's filled with C4. The concern is about hiding C4 (or whatever) in the nooks and crannies inside.
Because it is directly relevant to a great deal of modern Turkish politics, such as their attitude towards the Kurds.

"the removed disclosures, salaries and appointments would be integrated into WhiteHouse.gov in the coming months"
So, just like tax returns. As I recall, they were also "definitely" being released very soon now. Right until the election.
It doesn't show fighting in Crimea. it shows Crimea as an occupied territory.
There has been no fighting in Crimea since the occupation.

It's worth noting that not even Iran will force you to unlock your phone and social accounts for them at the border. Dunno about North Korea.
