Suicide is not a terrorist act, why are you trying to act like it is?
He went for a thrill ride before taking his own life in a dramatic fashion. I eagerly await the MSM telling us what station his car radio was tuned to, what websites he visited, and other such important information.
Seems to me, a Somali crew could strip that sucker clean for free... just cruise off the coast of Somalia and let it drift, the pirates will take care of the rest.
Reports say he was airborne for 90 minutes, performing 'stunts' before he went 'nose down'. A friend hear the radio chatter from the 'pilot' in real-time before he took his life.
News 'analysts' are already wondering why the two fighter jets didn't shoot down the stolen craft, which points out the limits of their understanding - firing missiles in a residential area to destroy a plane so debris can rain down is typically considered a bad idea, better to observe and be prepared to take action if it looks like he was going to hurt others.
I can't wait to hear we need to regulate who can buy flight simulator software to spare further 'copy-cat' tragedies!
The paper receipt is a non-issue in this case, since the problem a paper receipt is intended to address is an inaccurate vote, the issue raised in this Georgia district is that of turnout, that well more than double the number of voters in the district placed votes.
The issue isn't the 'old technology', it isn't the lack of a printed receipt/audit trail, it is voter registration - how could a district reasonably take legitimate votes that so vastly outnumber the number of registered voters in the district? Provisional ballots? Same-day registration?
Supply and demand: huge supply of liberal arts grads, small demand.
Small demand? Hell, liberal arts grads are vital to the expansion plans of Starbucks! A staggeringly high percentage of Starbucks baristas are dutifully paying off their masters degree school loans with tips from generous business and engineering graduates and their stay-at-home spouses.
As a liberal arts major myself, I have never worked in my field, always working in the tech arena. I didn't view college as a trade school, I studied what I wanted and worked where I wanted, with my tech employers footing the bill for half my education.
I think the previous poster conflated 'quantitative easing' with the bank bailout. The former involved creating money out of thin air, the later were conventional loans that were paid back.
The per-person productivity of the US(*) is now about $58,000 [google.com].
This means that if everything were distributed equally, every man, woman, and child could be given $58,000 to spend.
Do you have any idea how stupid this sounds?
You imagine, as a single example, that LeBron James will do what he does for $58K/yr, just like thetwenty-something kid who claims he can't work and gets an identical $58K/yr?
Will Apple engineers work for the exact same wages as the barista in the company coffee shop?
UBI doesn't scale to everyone, because for the government to give 320 million people $58,000/yr will cost $18.56TN/yr, about 4x the current federal budget.
Social Security retirement payments in the US costs the government *nothing* Yet.
Current SS retirement payments are made from current collections and a small amount from the so-called SS Trust Fund. In 20 years or so, the so-called Trust Fund will be depleted and payments from workers will not be enough, then the program will start costing the government money.
SS currently collects 6.75% of everyone's income for the first $100K (give or take) from the employer, and an equal amount from the employee.
Every dollar paid into SS in 2018 will be paid out to SS beneficiaries in 2018.
You (oddly) left out the part where Ajit Pai said the FTC, not the FCC, was the appropriate body to enforce Net Neutrality regulations.
Funny how critics of the FCC always fail to include that point.
From Ajit Pai's statement:
Moreover, we empower the Federal Trade Commission to ensure that consumers and competition are protected. Two years ago, the Title II Order stripped the FTC of its jurisdiction over broadband providers. But today, we are putting our nation’s premier consumer protection cop back on the beat. The FTC will once again have the authority to take action against Internet service providers that engage in anticompetitive, unfair, or deceptive acts. As FTC Chairman Maureen Ohlhausen recently said, “The FTC’s ability to protect consumers and promote competition in the broadband industry isn’t something new and far-fetched. We have a long-established role in preserving the values that consumers care about online.” Or as President Obama’s first FTC Chairman put it just yesterday, “the plan to restore FTC jurisdiction is good for consumers. . . . [T]he sky isn’t falling. Consumers will remain protected, and the [I]nternet will continue to thrive.”
What? The state wants to define what ISPs should do, but rather than actually pass legislation to enforce their requirements they want to make a "rainman" list of companies that violate their legislated 'suggestions'?
They are acting like a bunch of powerless children - step up, pass a law and enforce it.
HRC lost in 2008 to a first-term junior senator from Illinois with zero legislative accomplishments, she had no business running in 2016, and her subsequent health issues (she's taken to wearing a life-alert badge despite 24/7 security detail!).
That said, I would love to see HRC run again in 2020 - that would be hysterical! I bet her first stops this time around would be Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania!
How exactly would an RFID hip in the ball gater intelligence without a microphone or other sensor? How would it transfer it's information without a conventional transmitter (an RF-powered NFC chip would require a reader located within 3 feet of ball, best case. Oh, and the lack of a power source would also limit it's range.
Most votes were not FOR Trump, but rather, AGAINST Hillary, and they refuse to believe that.
I know, it amazes me how many serious pundits talk about districts "Trump Won" in 2016, when in reality Trump didn't win them as much as Hillary lost them.
For every person I know that voted FOR Trump, I know 3 that voted AGAINST Hillary.
...but I bet the issue was Lunar Warming, and it was triggered by the moon landings, where mean white men forced women of color smarter than them to do the math so that we could land white men on the moon!

God didn't 'penetrate' Mary, God impregnated her - humans have to 'penetrate' (personally or mechanically) to impregnate a woman, God not so much.
Don't confuse what God did to Mary with what you and your distant cousin did on that family camping trip in the tent.

And it only took what, 50-75 years for someone to steal a large commercial plane?
So the plane could drop out of the sky?
How about a device to limit who can start a plane on the ground, you know, like an ignition key?

What is the basis of requiring ride-share drivers to be paid a minimum wage, but not medallion taxi drivers?
The US interstate system was conceived by General Eisenhower as a national defense project after seeing the German Autobahn.
Let us not forget that transportation - in all its forms - is a core function of government.
No, it's not a "core function of government", it is something many governments do - there's a difference.
Is transportation mentioned in the US Constitution, for example?
Are taxi cab drivers also subject to similar "minimum wage" standards?
I think not, so why treat UbÃr, Lyft drivers differently?

Minimum mileage standards in no way limit the ability of auto manufacturers to produce cars with higher miles per gallon.
As an extreme example, the rollback does not impair Tesla's ability to produce cars with infinite MPG ratings.

Perhaps colleges and universities could build cafeterias and offer students meal plans that they can finance along with their student loans?

I'm not sure why this is being modded as funny.
Because you can't be serious!

But yeah, it's totally a surveillance device. /SMH
You're right:
it has a GPS tracking device, with no Antenna,
it is a bug with no microphone,
it is a bomb with no explosives...
The assumption is that Trump will put the ball on his desk in the Oval Office and conduct secret, high-level meetings with it in the room.
(You realize there is no power source in the ball, right?)

True, but we've skipped over the hard parts and jumped right into publication.
