read Latin and ancient Greek. Seriously... as recently as 100 years ago, you were expected to if you've had any sort of an education. Go look up the Harvard college entrance exam from like 1890's.
fairness and justice will only be reached when 3 of those seats are mandated to be filled by African-Americans, and 3 are reserved for Hispanic Americans.
How many of those are actually sellable units ready for customer delivery, and how many are "factory gated" units requiring more labor to fix? TFA didn't say.
The analysis assumes the planet's fate is already sealed.
Leading climate scientists issued dire warnings many years ago, "We have 5 years to cut carbon emissions by ____ amount or the global warming will be irreversable"
Well, the deadline already passed quite a while ago and carbon emissions not only did not get cut, we kept increasing them. So yeah, if you go strictly by what the scientists said, planet's fate IS already sealed. Nothing we can do now will fix the irreversable warming that will doom the planet.
On the one side, we have someone who could be humanity's best hope for escaping extinction.
You fogot the part where Musk also absolves your sins and lead you to the kingdom of heaven.
On the other side, we have a bunch of rich assholes trying gambling that he'll fail, and expecting to pull some money out of thin air if they're right.
So rich assholes put a gun to his head and made him say "Funding secured"? Even though there was no such funding? It was an outright lie. Unless you're Bill Clinton and you wanna debate what the definition of "is" is.
Musk brought all of this upon himself, 100 percent. He should've laid off the Ambien and LSD, and gotten some decent nights sleep.
the Washington Post today published 24 articles explaining how unions prevent a culturally diverse workplace that's vital for a progressive rainbow society. "Because white men run unions. Well it's Sicilian men, but close enough."
You are purposefully ignorant because it suits your politics, but one day the worm will turn and you'll find yourself oppressed by the same monopolistic evil.
He doesn't believe Google will ever censor him because he only thinks the correct progressive thoughts, and Google loves progressive thought.
But here's another scenario for him to think about: demographic change engineered by liberals will lead to death of conservatism and the Republican party. They actually brag about this, and they're working hard to bring this about, and real life data shows they're succeeding. Trump is just a tiny speed bump, history is on their side. So the Republican party will very likely fold and disappear in the near future, and the remaining party (Dem) will split into two. This is a pattern that's happened over and over again in the past, so there's no reason to think why it won't happen again. Probably it will be the Socialist Democrats (Ocasio Sanders et. al) versus the Big Business Democrats (Feinstein Clinton et. al).
To the grandparent: are you absolutely sure Google will side with you when the Dem party splits into two?

There are suggestive correlations between reduced child mortality and reduced family size.
If that were true then surely the great improvements in medicine and reduction in child mortality that happened from late 19th century to late 20th century would've resulted in smaller family size and smaller global population. Did the global population shrink from 1890 to 1990?
Climate change is real and habitat destruction is accelerating.
There is nothing you can do, not driving a Prius, not being Vegan, not recycling your socks and underwear, NOTHING, that's better for the environment and the planet than not having children. NOTHING.
If you actually cared even just a little for the environment, reducing human population should be your top #1 priority. And yes, environmental groups used to focus on this. They used to promote population reduction and they used to be anti-immigration. Not just against illegal immigration, ALL immigration. Because more immigration = more people = bad for the environment.
Nowadays though, all the big environment groups all favor increasing population and advocate open-border immigration. And not coincidentally, they all took large sums of cash donation from vested interests and powers that be who profit from more population, more consumption, and more immigration. So yeah, Greenpeace and Sierra Club sold out their principles for cash moolah.
Anyways, saving millions of children from malaria is all well and good, but what are we gonna do when the world population is 10 billion? 15 billion? Those numbers are coming up fast and will be here soon, definitely within the lifetime of a lot of people on this forum. How about saving millions of people from malaria, but then giving them vasectomy and hysterectomy? Also how about closing down borders and restricting immigration so the high growth countries are forced to confront their internal problems and improves things, instead of exporting their problems to better-run countries?
Microsoft's shittyness reached intolerable levels (for me) during the Vista fiasco about 12 years ago, and I've stopped purchasing Windows. Instead I download and use pirated versions of Windows that have the phone-home "features" disabled and the worst of the bloat removed. The pirate groups that I recognize do an excellent job and also are quite trustworthy (that is, they don't put virus or trojans on it and is safe to use if you get it from their site).

From Google's point of view, the Jedi are evil.
seriously.
Plenty of other search engines and webmail providers out there. No reason to reward an evil manipulative entity that pretends it's not evil.

I dare you
Amazon had funds to do that, and grow. Tesla has about 5 months of cash left in the bank - and then they are bankrupt.
you mean bankwupt
lmao when you put it like that, it makes Tesla sound like Heaven's Gate cult.

Now all they have to do is add mobile app technology and social media to BT and investor heads will explode!

Steve Jobs (even though he was an asshole) was a wise man and he wouldn't let his kids touch iPhones or iPads... he didn't want them to become stupid.

no surprise, given how public schools these days do little besides indoctrinate kids in leftist ideology. Chairman Mao would feel right at home.
Google should and almost certainly will continue to do what they've always done: censor hate speech
Okay but what about books? Shouldn't books containing hateful material be burned?

AI has now attained the sentience level of a bacteria.
Wake me up when it can match wits with a dog.
while using 100% renewable energy
3D printer in every home will fundamentally change human society
IoT internet connected belt buckles and toothbrushes will take over the world
AI will revolutionize consumer electronics
Net PC from Sun will dominate the computer industry (this one is really old)
Apple with 17% of market share is 4.7 million units
Xiaomi with 15% of market share is 500,000 units

Yeah Crouton is great if you're the only person that uses (and has access to) the laptop. That's a big IF.
Otherwise, someone else could accidentally hit space bar and wipe your machine clean.
