"Saying you hate someone IS a crime.... Telling someone you hate them IS assault. Verbal assault" translations- hurt feelings are crimes. always smile and be positive or we send you to jail. criticizing powers that be and their policies, thus showing 'hate', is a crime. quarreling verbally with anyone is a crime etc etc
yes that is police state mentality. and london under khan is one. and there are always scum who will collaborate with such states, you seem to be one.
london under khan: a police state that prosecute "thought crimes" . ultimately it will go the way of all other police states. corruption, waste, stagnation, and collapse. good riddance!
are you seriously denying the truth of my statement "this study reaches its headlined/highlighted conclusions by adjusting data". since you claim to understand this better than i do, please answer that.
then we, who know what is what, will be able to make fact based judgment (instead of labeling randomly) on who is relying on "pseudoscience" or whatever. that will be so regardless of number of up votes you receive from the ignorant.
you seem to have muddled your brain due to too much propaganda speak. clear it with reason and science.
this study reaches its headlined/highlighted conclusions by adjusting data. pointing that out (in this case with detail through link) when it is not made obvious(as with these meta "news stories"/propaganda), is the duty of all who respect reason, science, and truth.
you are free to ask your questions, and skeptics should answer the more reasonable ones, but they are not relevant to point made in this thread.
"Nokia really started to go downhill after it agreed to sell itself to Microsoft at the end of 2013,..." while there is no doubt that being owned by microsoft worsened the problems, nokia was well downhill when it sold itself. in fact it had few other options left at that point.
even if defense contracts were secret, corrupt, and larger, that should not protect nasa from being open about its contracts to prevent corruption and improve efficacy.
for the record, most of the defense contracts have very strict guidelines and oversight(even secret ones which are a minority), and feature frequent bidding wars(even for huge ones) etc.
you forget all the problems with wind. here is a videos compilation of one of the most obvious ones (from all over the place, remember this is few of the many many videos of available and remember that not most of such are recorded in video ). https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
being physically inactive and being lazy are two different things.
one can be physically inactive, or less active, while doing a lot and expending lots of energy, through metal activity and stationary activity. any one who codes, or writes papers/books, designs stuff, or paints pictures, etc, or even watch and read thought provoking books/plays/movies know that such things can take a lot out of one.
may be only people who do nothing of the kind, and write absurd careless/thoughtless summaries here, that are full of silly errors and duplicates, mistake all that for 'laziness'
well if you want to hair split, till somebody is convicted , you could claim there is nothing illegal or unethical about the hacked, hackers, leakers, or revealers. and why do you 'think' wikileaks did the hacking(which it denies) instead of just revealing? btw do you equate illegality with ethics? be clear, because they are two separate things. and manning or snowden by doing what may be termed (and even convicted by usa law) as illegal still did act ethically, they btw did not have to 'hack'. and for all we know it was dnc staffer who gave data to wikileaks.
absurd strawman arguments are not rational and only reveal your arguments' bankruptcy. i hope you are educated enough to know that?
meanwhile, what do you have to say about specific cases of ethical nature of revealing criminal and unethical behaviors by nsa and hillery supporting dnc?
Last I checked, hacking to access private information is ....
checked where? there is nothing unethical about revealing information that shows unethical (including criminal) activity. or revealing private information about harmful institutions that engage in criminal activities.
in case of snowden with nsa, and in case of wikileaks with regard to hillary supporting dnc, revealing hidden information was ethical.
of course supporters of evil entities damaged by such revelations will claim such actions are "illegal and unethical"(eg you and maher)
without defining the vague indefinite meaning of word "abuse", this is bs.
and since this is media that deals with words, worst that can happen( if there is no other contact external to this media) is hurt feelings. are such hurts, 'abuse'? (or even definable) given the highly subjective nature of emotions.
so this is bs.
this so called ai merely checks to see comments on yahoo news conform to rules of western 'liberal' elites. it is form of news censorship.

not everything is worth remembering and celebrating. records get broken all the time. and everything can be made into a record by slicing words.
usually if you don't know or care about the current record holder/prize winner/whatever, then there is not much reason to celebrate past winners of same.
if there was nothing very original, innovative, and special, about a particular time slice of a record, it is not worth celebrating after it gets broken. mere footnotes and a row in record book used by specialists interested in that, is all it deserves. to scrapheap with rest.
"The rest of it, which they say did not reflect his true self, will not be made public."
how does anyone else know what is "his true self"? why not allow the public to make up its own mind(or remain undecided) by reading it in full? why should these academic(?) decide they should be gate keepers of "truth"?
seems odd that particular companies(big supporters of president and his party) are named to conduct this "research" instead of giving open guidelines that anyone can follow. if and when drone operations are fully allowed, these companies, will have a huge advantage over competition. in addition to established infrastructure, they, if above statements are correct, will in effect have a big say win final regulations.
"mandatory add-on signing refers to Firefox preventing users from installing any add-ons that have not been approved by mozilla's testers.... firefox users have been spoiled all these years, always having the capability of installing any add-on they've desired."
of course doing what we "desire" should not be allowed. stay within the plantation and obey the rules, that way nothing gets broken or get crashed (hopefully). and nobody gets "spoiled", god forbid! we, the user children, should not be 'spoiled" by allowing us to make mistakes, by too much freedom to do what we 'desire'.
be calm, be correct, be at peace,... as in "rest in peace"? in mozilla's politically correct heaven.

this seems such a great idea at 1st, but why build a solar plant there? just because land is wasted and unused? but so are lands in much hotter places 'wasted'? there is no inherent reason why that place should be chosen over any other place with unused land. (ok its position in power-grid integration may have had some validity because there was a power-station there, but that was years ago.). decision to build or not a solar plant should be made based on factors (such as weather) that make that location better than others.

"... coexist in the marketplace forever". when people use words like "most popular for all time" https://apple.slashdot.org/sto... , "best", "forever " for their products, in markets that is inherently changing and dynamic, they either don't know what they are talking about or are placing dishonest hype above truth. in either case, customers should be beware of them and their hyped products, just for using that language.
accounting for total money value, as you suggest, will not make iphone get the absurd 'most popular product' title either. total money value of variety of aircrafts(eg boeing 747) , and various industrial products, probably exceed iphones by several folds. even in consumer products, as summery above mentioned, millions of toyota corollas, or variety of other cars, starting with model T, multiplied by their value exceed iphones'.
and if all iphone models are counted as one product , shouldn't all models of cars, tvs, washing machines, rtc, (not to mention nokia and others phones and land phones of various brands), by same company count as one too? if so iphones will be way down in "most popular product" list,both item wise and money wise.
whole concept here is absurd and dishonest, and only permissible as marketing hype( which is apple's core competence ). as such why it is doing in/. is the question, especially since it is a direct editor post. does apple pay to get trash here?

no 'hacking' part, is certainly not necessarily 'unethical' , though it can be 'illegal' according to some laws. so my argument holds.
