Are we sure Steve Kroft isn't a reporter bot. His questions sound a lot like Eliza replies:
Jeremy Stoppelman: If I were starting out today, I would have no shot of building Yelp. That opportunity has been closed off by Google and their approach.
Steve Kroft: In what way?
Jeremy Stoppelman: Because if you provide great content in one of these categories that is lucrative to Google, and seen as potentially threatening, they will snuff you out.
Steve Kroft: What do you mean snuff you out?
Jeremy Stoppelman: They will make you disappear. They will bury you.
... And how does that make you feel that they will bury you?
Extreme equivocation here. Donald Trump is tweeting political opinions.
He is not blasting around highly classified information.
The comment was more about Trump deriding Clinton for using a, presumably, less secure device, then preferring to use one himself - even after numerous recommendations to the contrary by his security team - than the data on those devices. Trump is a hypocrite.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
If you think that they "overruled botanical categories" then you clearly haven't even read your own link.
No, I read and understood it. Did you? Tomatoes are fruits botanically. They were classified as "vegetables" by SCOTUS because of (a) common culinary use and (b) money (the tariff applied to vegetables, not fruits). That doen's make them vegetables. Perhaps I should have said that the court "ignored" the botanical category, but in any event, science was overruled/ignored by an arbitrary government decision -- as was the parent's point.
Same thing when the Bible "wrongly" calls bats birds -- modern classification by scientists has nothing to do with the common understanding (at that time.)
While your example is illustrative, in this case, the court knew tomatoes are fruits botanically, but chose to ignore that and categorize them as "vegetables" because of (a) common culinary use and (b) money (the tariffs applied to vegetables, not fruits).
"President Donald Trump uses a White House cellphone that isn't equipped with sophisticated security features... The president has gone as long as five months without having the phone checked by security experts.
... at least it's not an email server -- 'cause that would be ironic.
Though technically fruit, tomatoes fall under the category of "vegetable," according to the Supreme Court.
The high court issued this 1893 tomato ruling in a case brought by members of the Nix family against Edward Hedden, collector at the Port of New York, to recover the fees they spent transporting tomatoes.
The Nixes sued under the Tariff of 1883, which required taxes on imported vegetables — but not fruit.
(So moderators... parent wasn't trolling, but making a valid, demonstrable point.)
My wife and I had our wedding and (self-catered) reception in our home in Dec 1989 -- described as a wedding and cocktail party on the invitations we made. We had (and I still have) a Pioneer PD-M40 6-disc CD player programmed to play the last three discs in rotation, which were George Winston. My grandfather unplugged the equipment during the ceremony and plugged it back in afterward. The player automatically plays the first disc (if present) on power up. The first three discs were Pink Floyd, with the first being Dark Side of the Moon.
Don't know if that was an omen, but we were happily together from the summer of 1985 until Jan 2006, when she died.

"Both times he wanted to know if there was a difference between HIV and HPV so I was able to explain that those are rarely confused with each other," Gates said.
Any moderately educated person should know the difference between HIV and HPV,...
If for no other reason than they're spelled differently.
There's still people out there that believe Trump is making himself look foolish as some sort of 4d chess instead of the much better explanation that he is genuinely ignorant?
Applying Occam's Razor... I would imagine Trump being ignorant is a simpler explanation than him playing 4d chess (or 4d checkers).
Fun Fact: Trump, and many of his supporters, believe Occam's Razor has 2 blades and comes in a 5-pack.
At home, Thunderbird with "View Message Body as Plain Text" and Javascript disabled (for messages from asinine senders that can only be viewed as HTML - grrr) to POP mail from ISP and Gmail. Never really been a fan of browser-based email clients, especially having to worry about browser/javascript exploits, etc..., but will periodically log directly into Gmail to permanently delete mail put into in the trash via the POP3 processing -- that should have actually been deleted, also grrr -- (still haven't decided if I'd like using IMAP instead).
At work, MS Outlook on the desktop and "mailx" on Linux/Unix systems (usually for daemon messages I haven't forwarded).
So, from various news sources, the U.S. Commerce Department banned American companies from exporting products to ZTE for seven years because:
The U.S. government accused ZTE of violating a March 2017 settlement in which the firm pleaded guilty and agreed to pay $1.19 billion for illegally shipping telecommunications equipment to Iran and North Korea.
Now, after Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, he threatens European countries with sanctions if they continue the nuclear deal with Iran (w/o the US). Is he going to stand by that or fold if/when companies complain? How about if ZTE starts shipping things to Iran again? (Of course ZTE isn't a country or in Europe, but Trump doesn't know that.)
Really, how does this help America? It only makes me suspicious that Trump or some of his buddies want to swoop in and get the stock for pennies on the dollar.
Yep, he probably bought up gazillions of shares last week when they collapsed. Now he's using his position as President to boost his personal retirement fund.
More likely, the last person who spoke with him (or a Fox News commentator) already owns a bunch of ZTE stock, was getting soaked and advised him to help out -- Headline to read: "Trump Saves Chinese Company" (ignoring why they needed saving)
Trump doesn't read anything (longer than 140 characters, anyway), doesn't really know (or care to know) anything, has no moral compass, and has the attention span of a goldfish, so he's easily swayed by the last thing he hears. (I love to be proven wrong, but don't think I am)

I doubt she'd hang out with anyone at your level unless there were a ton of cameras around to get credit for it.
And... Trump would be different how?
Trump is, of course, wholly unqualified to be President.
Technically... He meets *all* the qualifications to be President:
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
And, sadly, the People voted for him. As P. T. Barnum is rumored to have said, There's a sucker born every minute.
Perhaps the Founding Fathers should have been more specific.
Dear Gods, not again. Can we please just kill this thing once and for all?
*"Vegetable" is not a botanical category.
I get that, but, apparently, SCOTUS didn't.

"President Donald Trump uses a White House cellphone that isn't equipped with sophisticated security features ... The president has gone as long as five months without having the phone checked by security experts.
As long as we teach them that science can be overruled by a voice vote in Congress, and the laws of mathematics by the Australian legislature.

You need to say it on Fox News and/or Hannity if you want a chance for Trump to hear you. Apparently, that's all he watches. (Google it)

I don't care if Google wants to know if I'm more interested in diapers or Depends.
In either case, I think Google will just point you to 4chan /d/.
We are creating a generation of sociopaths, who have inverted their priorities and have no notion of right or wrong.
