Does everybody in Ethiopia post to Facebook using their real name and address? Nobody in Ethiopia knows how to use an anonymous proxy so that it looks like they are posting from another country?
If she's telling people what to do, then she's not covering the event, she's part of the event. Nonetheless, I think that would be a little hard to prove in court unless she allowed herself to be recorded actually urging people to commit unlawful acts... wait, she IS that stupid? Nevermind...
Republicans: in favor of state's rights when the state is doing something that helps their agenda, and against state's rights when the federal government is doing something that fits their agenda.
I know, right? Steve Bannon, married to a DNC operative! Roger Ailes, banging several different DNC operatives! These guys have ALL been corrupted by the radical left!
Not exactly lying. More like impersonating criminals, then selectively editing video recorded without consent in a dishonest attempt to make people look much worse than they already are to prop up a hateful, ignorant party line. But lying? Not exactly.
Damn straight! If I want to report on the exploitation of women that goes on in strip clubs, then I need to be inside, filming, for weeks, months, years... as long as it takes to get the story!
My understand was that they were not arrested for reporting the story, but rather for the trespassing they had to do in order to observe the other trespassers in order to cover the story. Should news reporters be allowed to violate the law to get a story or not? (If the stories that the pipeline company continued working despite a court order requiring them to cease work are true, then I tend to side with the protesters.)
Always create a full paper trail for verification and audit. Any computer election system that doesn't do that was intentionally designed to make hacks easy and undectable.
Fair enough. I have never seen an unambiguous specification or an unambiguous standard, and perhaps the only thing humans are still better at than computers is dealing with ambiguity. For example, a computer trying to parse Donald Trump's statements and make sense out of them would arrive at some seriously messed up conclusions; it requires a LOT of context and assumptions to even begin to make sense out of what he says. E.g. what exactly does this mean: 'Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second AmendmentBy the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know. But I’ll tell you what, that will be a horrible day.' You know, I have pretty could English comprehension skills, but even I can't figure out exactly what he's implying here. Many have interpreted it as a call to shoot Hillary, but it's just ambiguous that only someone with a severe personality disorder would interpret it that way.
Flying cars are possible NOW. You can't buy them because of the HUGE liability and licensing issues. Self-programming computers are a lot less dangerous, or at least that's what this guy on the internet named Skynet keeps telling me...
Even worse: I had to learn 3-D vector calculus in college (useful for electromagnetics). How many times have I used this outside the class? Zero. When asked to calculate the field of an antenna, I did it on a computer using numerical methods (the computer can even graph the field)-- which is a much better approach, and I'm pretty sure is the way EVERYBODY does this in real life!
Otherwise known as anybody that was competent and working for Yahoo! left a long time ago, when it became obvious their job could vanish at anytime, especially if they had the "wrong" kind of genitals...
My internet company (Comcast) gives me a free email account, and guess what... I don't even know how to log into it! Same was true for my old Verizon service.
It's just like what I say about calculus: it's important to understand the basic concepts of integration and differentiation, but you are NEVER going to solve integral or differential equations in real life (any sane person would use numerical methods). Computers will soon be capable of programming themselves, so while it is useful to have a basic understanding of how computers work just like it is useful to have a basic understanding of how electricity works, trying to teach EVERYONE to program is pretty much solving a non-problem. Also, the fewer people that know how to program, the more I can charge for my services...
Companies pay people for being at their desk 8 yours a day (and yes, HP payed me for doing nothing for over a week). If companies actually payed people based on the results they produced rather than being warm bodies at a desk, then they wouldn't have any problem with where they were when they produced those results. The "need to be in the same room" is bullshit, because I've been forced to work with coworkers on the other coast and even overseas while sitting at my desk -- I even have a direct manager in another state. Granted, the real reason they don't like you working at home is they can't directly monitor the hours you work.
Car dealerships are strangling the auto industry, i.e. the laws in many states that you must buy from a dealer and not direct from the factory that Tesla is trying to get repealed. Generally, "strangling the industry" is only a problem when monopoly power exists, so groceries are not a problem. However, the fact that we only have about 4 giant media companies producing 99% of the television and movies in the country is a real problem -- and the same companies own most of the cable networks too.
Agreed. Theaters are basically breaking even on ticket sales, 90% of the ticket money goes to the distributor. Theaters make all their money selling $8 popcorn, $6 soda, and $5 candy -- just try sneaking your own food and drink in and see how they react! Basically, I can get a good meal for what my daughter wants me to spend on soda and popcorn every time she watches a movie. And when she says "Ok, I'll just drink water!" they hand her a $6 bottle of water -- that's right, they won't give you a free glass of water.

I know a LOT of people I would like to have thrown in jail for posting to Facebook! And one that posts really mean tweets at 3:30am!

Their motto: "All the news that's bait to click!"
So, if I want to do an expose on the president, I'm allowed to sneak into the whitehouse to observe her, right?
Damn straight! If I want to report on the exploitation of women that goes on in strip clubs, then I need to be inside, filming, for weeks, months, years... as long as it takes to get the story!
But... I thought a good man was hard to find? (Or is it a hard man is good to find? I forget...)

Well, she didn't actually WATCH it, it was just on while we were getting it on... apparently watching guys hit each other turns her on!

Why does anybody care about Melinda Gates? Because she's fucking a billionaire. I wish _I_ was fucking a billionaire!

My sister still uses her AOL email address... LOL!
