I don't have a TV, haven't since the 90's, everything I do is on a computer screen and therefore to me 60 fps is more of a standard (read minimum).

After 12 attempts in 25 years, Congress finally repeals Glass-Steagall, rewarding financial companies for more than 20 years and $300 million worth of lobbying efforts. Supporters hail the change as the long-overdue demise of a Depression-era relic.
On Oct. 21, with the House-Senate conference committee deadlocked after marathon negotiations, the main sticking point is partisan bickering over the bill's effect on the Community Reinvestment Act, which sets rules for lending to poor communities. Sandy Weill calls President Clinton in the evening to try to break the deadlock after Senator Phil Gramm, chairman of the Banking Committee, warned Citigroup lobbyist Roger Levy that Weill has to get White House moving on the bill or he would shut down the House-Senate conference. Serious negotiations resume, and a deal is announced at 2:45 a.m. on Oct. 22. Whether Weill made any difference in precipitating a deal is unclear.
On Oct. 22, Weill and John Reed issue a statement congratulating Congress and President Clinton, including 19 administration officials and lawmakers by name. The House and Senate approve a final version of the bill on Nov. 4, and Clinton signs it into law later that month.
Just days after the administration (including the Treasury Department) agrees to support the repeal, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, the former co-chairman of a major Wall Street investment bank, Goldman Sachs, raises eyebrows by accepting a top job at Citigroup as Weill's chief lieutenant. The previous year, Weill had called Secretary Rubin to give him advance notice of the upcoming merger announcement. When Weill told Rubin he had some important news, the secretary reportedly quipped, "You're buying the government?"

Corporations don’t want the hassle of people complaining and/or some members of congress doing something about it. That tells you right there it’s a bad thing.
Here’s something else.
they are concerned that the TPP focuses on protecting intellectual property to the detriment of efforts to provide access to affordable medicine in the developing world, particularly Vietnam, going against the foreign policy goals of the Obama administration and previous administrations.[79]

Look at their school grades, look at their entertainment, look at their parents, look at their peers how could they be smart.
Stop using "social media" and it's inherently artificial sociality altogether, and start doing face to face instead.
Killing 2 birds with one stone.
Only 30?
Listen, just because you haven't had a bad experience doesn't mean you should be so insulting.
Or, because you had a bad experience and decided not to do anything about it in the future doesn't mean you should be so insulting.
He does... you should probably buy a gun to protect yourself.
Sarcasm?

Kerbal Space Program?
Yes because if people saw what went on in the "cockpit" they likely wouldn't fly.
They are when you're trying to turn it into a commercial passenger service.
It's a billionaire playboys pet project, he should have gone in with others to consolidate the effort.
Nothing more than a mantle piece project.
"high-FPS material"
60 FPS is not "high FPS", it's more of a standard, though not even that considering the GoPro 4 toy camera does 120 FPS @ 1080 and 30 FPS @ 4K.
An AI.
They are scared of trouble catching on in other cities.
It ill still be videoed and "televised" via youtube etc.
