Sure, it's transparent and immutable, but once data is added -- correct or not -- it's there permanently. There still needs to be a method for correcting or removing data.
Can they now reimburse me for the additional $100+ I spent on a DVI to USB Type-C adapter for my monitor, which only occasionally works right, and three USB Type-A to USB Type-C adapters for my peripherals? Yes, yes, I went ahead and bought a "magic mouse" to eliminate the need for one adapter, but I hate it and had to move back to my Logitech mouse for my sanity.
I don't know. You spend nearly $3K on a new MacBook Pro and you just assume the company might include a few adapters that probably cost Apple about $4 to manufacture... if that. Silly me.
"based on studies funded and directed by conservative think tanks"
That is not true. Educate yourself before making politically partisan statements to fit a narrative you may believe because you've not educated yourself. The ban was widely studied by independent and government research organizations including the Task Force on Community Preventive Services, the National Institute of Justice, a National Research Council committee, and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, among many others.
Let's face it. You can blame guns for the violence but guns have been part of America's fabric for as long as it has existed. There's something unique to this era happening with the massive uptick in mass shootings. The FBI, Homeland Security and every other policing agency at the federal level should be studying this phenom and trying to figure out why and how to address it.
The last assault weapons ban established by Pres. Clinton in the 1990s, and which lasted for a decade, was widely studies and found to have zero effect on gun violence. That doesn't mean I think just anyone should be allowed to buy AR-15 and Kalashnikov-style assault weapons to defend themselves against the socialist horde.
And, this argument about addressing mental illness... yes, for healthcare's sake, not to prevent violence. People with a serious mental illness are 11 times more likely to be the victims of violence, i.e., suicide and attacks on the homeless, etc, rather than its perpetrators.
I'd prefer not simply accepting that "this is how things are now" and thinking we have to turn our schools into high security areas like airports. That's insane, and not something I feel we as Americans should accept. So let's get off the "arm-our-educators" bandwagon and look for real solutions instead of creating combat zones in school halls.
Thirty-six people were indicted out of 11,000 who stole more than half billion dollars. The lack of morality among these thousands of criminals is shocking. "In Fraud We Trust" is their motto. I wish every single one of them could see time behind bars.
Being at home means using more energy by keeping the lights on and watching TV. But it also means less travel, and it means that fewer people are outside operating offices and stores.
The logic here appears flawed. Fewer people aren't "outside operating offices and stores?" What does that mean? Offices and stores don't shut down because fewer people are in them. There aren't fewer office buildings or stores, and they don't use less power on HVAC and lights because someone isn't there.
After seeing the commercial for the first time my wife and I looked at each other and remarked something to this effect: "She doesn't know what a computer is. Is that kid just stupid, or completely undereducated?
Since at least May 2016 (whoa... that long!), the surveillance agency had featured honesty as the first of four "core values" listed on NSA.gov.
They're being more honest now by not attempting to deceive people into believing that they'll open about their work above other values, such as "commitment to service."
Just because they removed the feel-good language doesn't mean they'll not continue to be working in the nation's best interests and within the law. But, publications need page views, and this is certainly click-bait worthy.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies supersede traditional fiat money systems, and so threaten government power. I suspect China will not be the last nation to come out against decentralized blockchain-based currencies.
"Since 2015, the NSA has lost several hundred hackers, engineers and data scientists, according to current and former U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter."
I don't think Trump was president in 2015, but I could be wrong.
"If this is about real science, and I don't deny climate change, keep the politics out of it and just state the facts."
This is the problem. You have armchair climatologists ridiculing the president or anyone who dares to deny climate change based on regional weather patterns, while at the same time these pseudo intellectuals likely don't know the first fact about how climate change can cause more severe weather patterns. My guess is most of them couldn't begin to explain why winters can continue to be cold, and even colder than in years past, while global warming continues to increase.
But, sarcasm is the cheapest form of intellectualism. It requires no real knowledge while attempting to shame those with whom you disagree.
Stick to the facts. If you disagree with someone, make a solid argument to prove your point.
Yes. They will be taken to the stocks and placed on public display where citizens will be allowed to throw over-ripened fruit and moldy vegetables at them for a fortnight.
Do you really think there are consequences for repealing a set of rules?
You do know that broadband providers are entering new markets all the time, right? You may not have had as many choices 10, 5 or 3 years ago, but you will have more as time goes on. That's simply the trend.

I'm still puzzled as to why the poster would use an analogy between a "broken" cell phone and pollution/deforestation.

Get a court order, and give the iPhone to Apple to unlock. You get the data without exposing Apple's secret sauce. Problem solved.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Blockchain
Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?
Mr. McGuire: There's a great future in Blockchain. Think about it. Will you think about it?

Clean coal
That's the ticket to solving this whole greenhouse, global warming thingy. We need to make coal great again.
"They're not heroes"
Really? How many times a day do you face down criminals, angry drunks, gang members and abusive spouses?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
MySpace never cut me off, and I haven't logged in there in a decade.
I'm coming back MySpace, so turn the light back on!

Did anyone really believe our government didn't contain checks and balances? That's why there are three branches.
Actually, we have several in the Boston area, and they're constantly cutting rates and offering faster speeds.
Hopefully, competition will come to where you live soon, too.
Yes, yes. Anyone who's not screaming that the sky is falling is a Russian operative or a shill for the far right.
