The Jews had been around since before writing got up there, because they were already Christian and in that era the Christians weren't allowed to charge interest. Therefore, they could not make money off of loans. Therefore, other people, non-Christians, were present in every Christian city in order to provide banking services to the noble classes. Generally speaking, the choices were Jews or Pagans, and pagans were generally subject to execution on a whim and not really a good choice for banking services.
Much of the Magna Carta is covering the rights of Jews. That was important to the nobles, because they couldn't support their economies without them; a bad neighboring noble who persecuted Jews and gave your region a bad name could put your people in starvation.
In the US it is also "highly controlled" because everybody from Vietnam who could physically get to the US was given paperwork. Indeed, they exactly only had to arrive on a boat, and declare that they were anti-Communist. That was the proper channel, because they were allies in a special situation.
That is why it was controlled; because they were confident enough in their ability to get the paperwork that they freely applied. Doing the opposite generally results in less control, not more. You just might not have statistics to tell you. But lack of information often goes along with a lack of control.
No, regardless of any of the other stuff you bring up, he's still xenophobic and racist. If you can't see the line between advocating political change, and trying to oppress people who different political views than you, then you might also be xenophobic and racist.
Consider: you're jumping through substantial logical hoops to defend his xenophobic position, but he was actually not trying to oppress the migrants he's racist and xenophobic towards. He was actually trying to oppress all scientists from countries that disagree with his political stance about refugees. It doesn't matter what the details of his complaints are, or what the situation in the US with a certain visa category is. He was trying to punish scientists based on what country they're from, in order to punish them for being from countries whose politics offend him. There is no way for that not to be racist and xenophobic. On multiple fronts, if you think about it.
He isn't just xenophobic and racist, but so extremely so that he is lashing out in a illogical manner that can only harm him and make his cause look worse. There is a nazi uprising brewing in Germany.
They're confusing the right of the publication to speak for itself with the right of a rightwing blowhard to have the publication speak when told, so they cry "censorship! They didn't agree with me, I'm being censored!"
You think its bad with a bunch of Turks around, visit any small town in north Florida for a couple weeks and you'll sure be glad they can't swim that far.
And then consider: there are places in the world so awful, so dreadful, people actually risk their lives trying to sail to Florida.
You think it is bad now, just wait a few more years to see what happens when these nazis rile up enough of their neighbors to win an election and we have to go burn them in the streets again, like in Dresden. Nazis never learn, and after a few decades their neighbors sometimes forget. Ooops, did you live in the same town as the Nazis? My advice, burn them individually before we have to come clean it up for you, because we use a big stick for that, not a scalpel.
He does not necessarily have the right to change license terms after people come to rely on the software, though. So it requires more than a simple reading, you'd need actual arguments to attempt to convince that there is some special reason he'd be able to alter those agreements after the fact.
He has every right to restrict new access. But what he claimed to do, he can't actually do. But they have to withdraw anyways, to protect those new people.
So I think here, he was an ass substantially beyond what his actual rights are, even in addition to violating the publishing terms that he had agreed to, and that is why the smackdown is not at all controversial. It really isn't obviously the case that you have a "right" to violate an agreement. It isn't enough simply to point to consequences as an additional right.
There is nothing wrong with taking your ball and going home. If you don't want to play, don't.
This is a different situation, though. It wasn't just his ball; it was a ball he had offered for the scientific community to play with under known, agreed rules. Then later he told them he was creating new rules, and scientists who are nice to people named Ahmed have to sit out. And so they told him no, nobody is going to borrow your ball at all anymore, take it and go home.
And so many internet threads were simultaneously Godwin'd that a million Ceiling Cats were killed, sucked into the sudden void. F'kin' Nazis, trying to ruin the internet.
LOL you thought that in those stories, they had purchased a license?! LMAO ROFLCOPTER
No, 100% of the cases are pirating. And a venue's license for public performance doesn't extend into also being a license for product or political endorsement. You need a separate license to use something for promotion, you don't just pay the 10 cents like on a radio play of the actual song.
I'll give you a hint: science has nothing to do with politics, and restricting access to science based on lack of support for Nazi policies makes him a neo-Nazi fucktard. And you a neo-Nazi sympathizer.
Newsflash, EPA and CARB are re-testing other manufacturers too, and nobody else is cheating. Everybody else so far has real numbers, and modern cars really do meet modern emissions standards. Except for VW-owned brands.
They left out the controls on the smaller engines so that they could sell them as sportscars, which small diesels are definitely not. Then they put a defeat device in the firmware to game the test. Just because you got tricked, doesn't mean that everybody else did, too. If you want a small engine and high performance, you're an idiot to think that is available in a diesel, and an idiot to think it is not efficient in other types cars.
We can run them for thousands of years. Once we get a Star Trek teleporter, we can use it to beam the core into space in case of meltdown. For now, we can use lucky rabbit feet.
Wait, wait, are you telling me you actually thought that random users could tell filenames apart? And get from the start to the end of a set of instructions without having switched in the middle to a completely different set of instructions?
I'm not convinced they are black hats. It is a normal outcome that when a random user tries to install a linux distro, they end up with a different one installed than they had first begun installing. If it is a crowd-sourced effort, who is to say which outcome is more deserving? If there was no intended range of possible outcomes, what exactly was the crowd's involvement supposed to be? If the crowd was supposed to simply replace some of the software, it is hard to call the experiment a success or failure; maybe somebody made a wrong predication about the outcome. I guess the failure was that they pulled the plug without discovering the outcome?
Your complaint is just a weak "No True Scotsman" attack. Is that really the best you can do in criticizing the plan, is to declare that it isn't plan-y enough?
They do have a plan. And it doesn't include having the ` "stuff" ' you hand-wave about. You make no case that specialty equipment is even needed, and you certainly don't give the indication that you have actually identified a need for specific (un-named) equipment. You do realize that the problem is with long-distance power transmission and satellites, and that outside of that, special equipment isn't needed? And that shielding and shielded equipment won't be needed? We'll need to replace transmission equipment. That is all. The new stuff will be the same as the old stuff.
No, your photo-voltaic will not be fried. No, they don't need to be stored in a Faraday cage. And no, you're not an "engineer." They're probably paranoid because you're a clue-stick, not because you're a ham, or own a camera.
Consumer devices will not be damaged. There is no reason you will need radios, unless you're already using radios for communication, in which case you'll be able to turn on the ones you have.
I was at the scrap yard a couple months ago selling some old auto parts, (I got $3 for my old brake rotors) and most of it was pickups full of mixed metal, which gets piled as steel, aluminum, copper. They just weigh the truck before and after. And then they "sort" it in detail with a backhoe.
Something like this is going to get set aside at the start, unless it is in somebody's truck of scrap and they prop it up onto the pile. Then it might indeed get sorted by the backhoe into the car squash pile.
The reason they wouldn't have a Cobalt-60 accident is that they don't allow whole metal drums. You're going to have to get a torch and cut those drums in half before you can scrap them. Otherwise, yeah, there is probably all sorts of toxic crap mixed in there.
Right, you don't agree that the problem exists. That is funny. Keep pretending you read a lot of content, "The Real Dr."
I would indeed that want to argue that this problem exists in biomedical research, and also that you were unable to discuss the examples in the story, which is what is being discussed as examples of the problem. Your own writing here is completely obtuse. You intentionally refuse to consider the subject at hand, in order to make pompous proclamations about how important you are, and how smarty you are, and how everybody in your field is so smarty that they aren't affected by opaque language.
Honestly, it doesn't sound very smarty to me. And, it sounds like you read narrowly within your field, and have no clue at all what the general state of scientific writing is.
Which basically parses to "it doesn't". Because a space elevator, aside from not being a free lunch, is about as likely as Satan eating snow-cones in mid-August.
He's an angel, he can snap his fingers and make snow cones.

If a store owner decides not to charge you for items in his shop, are you a thief?
If he's German, I'm starting to think I should ask for a receipt in case he changes his mind right after I walk out the door.

I live in San Antonio and we are extremely tolerant toward legal Mexican immigrants
If you have to "tolerate" legitimate neighbors, you might not be as "tolerant" as you think you are.
You think its bad with a bunch of Turks around, visit any small town in north Florida for a couple weeks and you'll sure be glad they can't swim that far.

If there is more than one person on the corner, they call that a "stabbing." It is lucrative, but only for a few seconds. Then it goes sideways.
I'll give you a hint: science has nothing to do with politics, and restricting access to science based on lack of support for Nazi policies makes him a neo-Nazi fucktard. And you a neo-Nazi sympathizer.
nothing will happen to you unless you stir up some shit
If you are being denied access to transportation, something already happened to you.

Actually, it is 25cm now. It was 41 cm, not 50, limited by US government regulation, which was relaxed.
For scientific use you can get 5 cm.
Mars is better mapped than Earth, but Earth is at least well-photographed.
Right, so if you have a space elevator, it makes sense. If you don't, it doesn't.
